How much can i ask from a blog post writer?

**Zeiss** · 08-05-2013, 01:33 AM

2-5 cents per word

depends how well you want the posts written, and how much you are paying.

Hiring a cheap 3rd world writer, who is probably juggling 5 low paid gigs at once, or paying an actual writer well to deliver a quality product?

Pay him that. He will write a lot. Makes sense now?

I'd expect 5-7 posts per hour if they are only 200 words, so 20-28 on a 4 hour shift. This is assuming they are native speakers and know about the niche they are writing in - no other research needed.

Around 25 posts I'd say

Really!

I would have thought one post an hour, 2 tops! I was going to say 4/6 posts in a 4 hour shift.

A decent writer can do about 1000 words an hour. Obviously, this changes a bit depending on if they're flicking through files, coming up with story lines on the fly, that type of thing. But if I was given a set of galleries and knew the content well enough to write about it, I'd be upset at myself if I didn't at least hit 800/900 words an hour.

This is pure writing, mind you. Blog posts (like setting up images, links, that sort of thing) take a big longer - but certainly at least 2-3 blog posts an hour.

are you giving this writer keyword lists? I do some writing myself and I find it easier when customers give me nice keyword lists

**ialreadyknow** · 08-05-2013, 04:00 AM

a keyword list, hm....is more work for the webmaster and maybe also for the writer, always thinking of these given keywords....if it's a good writer, he'll know how to write that goolge will like it

and sometimes less is more

I don't think I could even type 1000 words of pure nonsense in an hour.

I bet you could. ;)

Just as an example for the OP - I was given a set of 100 images to add text to today - one 4 to 5 word title and a 2 sentence description. I broke them up into groups of 25 and got that first group done in about 40 minutes, with a total of around 850 words in that doc.
