Seems like a high number but I dunno. I've chatted with writers pulling in $1 - 3k a month no problem with private clients though. The ones that wanna pay are out there - just gotta know where to find them.
On the other side....I have found a large amount of people that are more reluctant to pay certain prices for articles when they can get people who will gladly take $1 for a 500 word article.
-even .02 cents a word is expensive to these folks.

Dude what are you saying? I wonder whether you are just another fake account or you just commented for no purpose at all. At least check out what's going on in the thread before commenting. Thanks

For a skilled writer? Of course its possible.
I often work with a writer who makes about $200+ a day writing technical documents and translating text.
If you're going to whore yourself out at $1/100 words for quickie articles that are written to fill up space, I would imagine you'd have a hard time hitting the $60k mark.

I know a few people making near that, but they offer higher quality articles.
I am sure you could make them selling articles at $1.5/100 words but you better be ready to work. Article writing is not for the faint of heart.

Someone found xrumer.
And lol at the guy above trying to talk to him
Ontopic.... Possible yes... Plausable, I doubt many people could keep motivated cranking out that many articles
I think it's possible, but it would depend on the skill you have.
I'm probably the best writer you will find (no e-brag) and when I've charged a few people for an article this was the layout:
10$ - 500
15$ - 750
20$ - 1000
The key with pricing is obviously whether someone is willing to pay that amount. When they get my article they decide to order in bulk.
I'm in law school right now so I don't have the time for this, but it's a lucrative business for those who really know how to write. There's a huge difference between someone who can just 'write' an article, and someone who can paint images with words and make the reader think they've stumbled upon a gold mine of information based on how the reading relates to them. People like that can charge much higher rates and get away with it because the writing just works.You also actually have to enjoy writing to bring a high quality product. Trust me, money won't convince you or change the way you write. It'll just make you more nit-picky over basic sentence structure and grammar errors.

If you're as good a writer as you claim then you're seriously underselling yourself. For a 500 word article I charge between $15 and $25 depending on the level of research required, and I have no trouble finding work. In fact, I keep having to turn down work since I don't have time
I can't understand why a skilled writer would work for only $10 per 500 word article.

It would appear so.
However, it does appear that there is an English version of this site.
Personally, I write articles in my free time. I try to write at least two a day. It isn't much, but at my current rate I make an extra $400 a month.
I'm very sure it's possible to make $60k a year if you tried really hard. You would have to be well known in the market and find clients willing to pay, as many people previously stated.
Also, I know there's a way to write research papers. I don't know the specific site(s), but basically people order 'sample' papers. They end up using them as college essays. It's legal because they are being bought and sold as samples, but I'd imagine it would be very difficult to keep up with. A lot of research would be involved, and it seems very time consuming. However, I read papers can sell for $40 or more.
I guess the amount you could potentially make depends highly on your skill, the amount of time you would wish to dedicate to it, and who you know.
It's hard, but possible. I have some clients that have very specific needs. Medical and technical writing pays well. I used to fish for clients on fiverr just for contacts and then delete the gig and then sell outside fiverr for higher price. That does not work anymore, new gigs get rarely noticed these days. You need good customer support and great imagination to come up with reasons to gradually raise the price .
.:tool: The market rate for good writing is $25, although experienced writers will get more. I'm not talking about internet marketers who are well known for paying peanuts. I'm talking about average businesses. Larger corporations won't even consider you if you don't charge $70 +. I know writers who are making $150 to $200 per article, which includes marketing that article to social media etc. but doesn't take much effort. Btw, the going rate for writing a short blog post is between $40 - $60. An ebook is a series of articles. for 30,000 to 40,000 word ebook the going rate is somewhere between $1000 - $2000, and sometimes more! So it's more than possible to make $60,000 per year. You only need to write 10 $200 articles and 2 ebooks at $2000 each to reach $6000 per month. But I'm sure you could write more than 10 articles per month!!

If you're not a complete buffoon, the money comes in almost instantly. I've had a single article generate $100+ on day one (a rare exception, granted.). So, no, I fervently disagree. The mistake most of you people make is in selling your articles (usually to people who are smart enough to know their true value.)
