Hello Everyone,

I am new to the online biz and started writing articles.

Multiple sources online would mention that a writer can earn up to $5 per article, but that is difficult to achieve.

I searched through Facebook and was offered $3/800 words after writing a review sample for a product.

I can understand that maybe that is what my writing is worth, and if that's the case I don't have any problem writing at any rate given to me, even if it's low since I want some work right away.

But I just want to ask: Is $3 the standard price for writing up to 800 words?

What are the best sources to get bulk article writing gigs even if they're cheap?

Here is a short paragraph so that you can rate my writing;

For all your everyday computing needs, HP's Spectre x360 14 is one of the best laptops in the market. It's a perfect blend of performance, portability, and price. It is ultra-thin and lightweight with excellent sound quality for your entertainment needs. Use the touchscreen and pen controls to navigate easily, get things done quickly and smartly, and share your thoughts with friends. With a battery life of 14 hours and a lightweight design for easy mobility, the HP Spectre x360 14 is an ideal laptop for professionals on the go. The HP Spectre x360 14 is a sleek and stylish laptop with an ultra-portable design with a 3:2 screen ratio, excellent sound quality, 13.5-inch touchscreen and 1920x1280 pixel resolution. This laptop provides excellent mobility for the users because of its lightweight aluminum body with built-in security features like the fingerprint reader, etc.

Thank you for the contributions
 
3$ per 800 words is kinda low for a writing gig (well, even the "5$ per article" is kinda low too, honestly), but most of the times you have to start low and, when reviews comes, you can start charging more for an article. The article isn't bad anyway (I personally tend to use longer phrases and less full stops because they sounds "slower" to me, but that is kinda subjective).

Thank you for your comment. I understand from the beginning one has to offer low rate, I just wanted to figure out what the standard rate is.

Oh ok, then nope, I've seen lots of writers (even here on BHW's marketplace) that charge way more, when you feel like you have enough reviews you can go to something like 30$ per 1000 words and even more, I've seen writers that charge 3$ only for 100 words. 3$ per 800 words is way under the standard, in my opinion (I'm not a writer but checking lots of writing gigs I've seen that the standard is usually way higher than the one you said).

Usually they charge so low for articles made with AI copywriting tools (Jarvis, Rytr,.....), but for handwritten content is a low rate for the gig.
 
Generally, the accepted dollar amount for a native English speaker (or atleast someone who can hide it well that they're not) is $1/100 words. That is a good starting point for a new writer. As you figure out a system for good article structure, start charging more.
 
I will check Fiverr, I hope they can bring in traffic to new gigs. From what I've seen, the site is overcrowded with writing gigs. I will try my luck to see how it goes. Thanks
 
Has any writer tried Upwork? Are there enough writing gigs even low paying gigs?

I applied and am waiting for their feedback before I can access the writing gigs available.
 
There is lot of competition one has to face as a a content writer. Once you get some clients, you ca increase rates.
 
Start at 5$/1000 words; after you get enough reviews on your profile rise to 10$/1000 words. Your content is decent but i would not pay 20$ for 1000words of that level.

Thank for the advice, that's what I am thinking of keeping my rate for a start or even $2/500 words. I will accept the low rates to build my portfolio.
