Let's say I needed someone to update 20-25 posts a week across 4-5 blogs... maybe a paragraph or two, simple picture editing, etc. Basically, an average blog post.
Depends on the quality of the writer. The quality of the text has a big impact on your sales and SEO, so while it may be tempting to use someone offering $.50-1 a post, you aren't going to get anyone who is any good for that. The writers I use charge around $2-5 per 100 words and are never short of work, infact often have to knock back work, though they are professional quality writers which seem quite rare here in adult.

Where's a good site online to find decent writers?
For adult, that's tough. For more mainstream you might find some on mandy.com or websites for Hollywood.
We offer writing and translation (Japanese/English, English/Japanese) services at reasonable rates. Have been "getting paid for it", across mediums and genres, for awhile now.
I think that $1 for 100 words is going to buy you very poor quality blog posts. There are loads of writers out there that will do this for you and they'll do an ok job, but they probably won't try a little harder to give you something more unique. If you pay a little more then you get a little more don't you?
I write for a number of clients who benefit from good quality, original content. They would all agree that you get what you pay for. My rates are not cheap, but if i have regular orders and clients who pay up front, on time, every time, i'm always prepared to discount accordingly.
If you want a quote from me then hit me up with exactly what you need: niche, frequency, word counts etc and i'll get back to you within 24hrs. If you are seriously considering hiring me, give me with a couple of pics for an example post and i'll write you one for free so you can test the water before opening your wallet.
If you provide me with user/logins for the content and the CMS logins for your blogs then i can also go get the pics and publish the posts directly if you like; this seems to be the preferred method for many people these days.
I don't like to give quotes out over the board, i would much rather do business via email or ICQ, this way we can negotiate terms privately and much more easily.
I have written for virtually every niche out there at the moment (i welcome any new ones!) and i have never missed a reasonable deadline.
If there are any writers out there looking for part time stuff hit me up because i might need a few people in the New Year as part of an attempt to expand. I really need writers who know the industry and have no preference on niche.
Thanks to DamianJ for the heads up on this thread by the way!
