Last spring I left a blog network that was ‘revenue share’ only, which amounted to about $2 per blog. They wanted at least 20-250 word posts with one picture, one outside link and one inside link. Thats harder than it sounds, at least it was for me, having eight blogs with them. I”m no longer with them, as it was eating much of my time (plus there were contract issues). If I ever went back to blogging, I would ask for $10-20 per post, or $200-400 per month per blog. I may be way off base, but lower than that and you’re wasting precious research/writing time, and thats not cost effective.

Good question, Anne. I charge $50 per post for what Elizabeth is asking about. Same length. I also have a client who expects blog posts for $25 per. I won't go lower than that, and frankly, that's pretty low for me. But mine require research. Some blog posts are so easy to write that $25 per is a good rate. .-= Lori´s last blog ..The Stress and Interruption Train =-.
