I love when people reply like this. As if it is just completely out of the question to charge this much money for writing articles.
I don't think you realize that writing articles involves WORK.
I know people who charge $1 per word and they are never without work.
Obviously you just want some filler content since you aren't worried about quality. You can find some really cheap prices in the marketplace.
However, writers like archon10 don't cater to you. You're not the type of clientele she wants. That's why she can rattle off those prices and not flinch.
I guess you'd laugh at my prices too. I charge $50 for a basic 500 word article I don't have to research.
as my clients have send those to me to rewrite and 'fix' them.

What was the point of that correction? I understand she's talking about a service for writing English articles but still seems less than helpful or cool.
You come in to OP's thread and judge him for his price shock, when he's made his criteria known in his post. He is not looking for quality yet we see "high-end" writers offering their rates here and shooting him down when he's shocked by them. Seems like you guys don't even know your own potential clients.
If you pay your plumber $100 per hour, then you must be living in Monaco (Monte Carlo).LMAO are you freaking for real man?
You're the one that got all offended because I made a pretty valid comment. He's not a potential client of mine, as he doesn't want to pay my rates. I only market to people who don't blink when I say $50 an article. And yes, there are plenty of them out there.
I don't care what his budget is. I clearly stated he can get cheap writers in the marketplace. However, he shouldn't act all shocked when people charge rates for actual WORK. Despite what you cheapskates think, if you want a quality article you need the budget to pay for it.
I don't see anyone here dying of a heart attack when they call up a plumber and he gives them their hourly rate. He has a job and he's doing work for you, so if he says $100 an hour you suck it up and pay for it.
It's the same thing with a writer. Despite what you think, written content is what makes the internet - and the rest of the world - go round. It takes a lot of hours to research, put together, edit and publish articles. That's why you get garbage when you pay $1 for 500 word articles.
Go have a seat.
100 words per dollar. That's my base rate.
If you want jaw-dropping, sexy, click-that-button-right-now content, be ready to pay up!
As an Elite writer at Iwriter, I know what one dollar for 500 words article looks like, as my clients have send those to me to rewrite and 'fix' them.
Lol
