Content Writing Pricing & Packages

“How Much Does Content Writing Cost?”

If you’re considering hiring a content writer or content writing service, you’ve probably noticed there are a lot of different options.

In fact, there are so many options today that it’s confusing.

Worse still, it’s hard to know how much it actually costs to hire a content writer.

Some content writers cost as little as $20 per hour, others charge thousands of dollars per article. 

It can be very confusing to understand content writing costs if you are considering outsourcing to a content writing service.

So here’s the TLDR if you want to know the content writing rates in 2024:

Average Content Writer Hourly Cost: $15-$115/hour
Average Content Writer Per Word Cost: $0.06 to $3.00/word
Average Content Writer Per Article Cost: $25 to $500/article

Depending on the type of content writing services you need, you can spend a lot of money or a small amount. The more you understand what kind of content writing service you need, the better you can figure out the costs.

As a rule, cheap content won’t get results, and great content isn’t cheap. It’s all a matter of finding what works best for you.

A professional writer charging freelance rates will be much higher than a managed service, or site like UpWork or a content mill. A content marketing agency can typically offer you a project rate that might sound more attractive, but it doesn’t have longevity.

The ideal situation is to work with a blog writing service, content writer, or copywriter who knows your business and can deliver consistent results for you.

To keep the content writing cost down, you can negotiate a longer-term agreement with a freelance writer. A professional writer will offer you more than just a blog post. They offer you a consistent way to grow your online presence and connect to your audience.

Why Hire a Freelance SEO Content Writer?

It might be tempting to think that writing a blog post or social media post is easy. After all, anyone can write a text message or email.

But writing website content is a very different challenge. Experienced website content writers can save you time and increase the professionalism of your website. Professional content writers are trained in SEO writing, content strategy and keyword research and are able to incorporate the right words into your website or blog article.

Online content provides a way to build trust and grow brand recognition with your audience.

It’s not enough to simply tell people what you do. Your potential clients and customers need to be interested ain your website content. To make this happen you have to help solve their problems, and show how you stand out against the competition.

The dual goal of content marketing is to grow your online search engine rankings and to build trust with those people who read your website content.

We can help you to do both.

How Does a Website Content Writer Help My Business?

The reality is that business owners are too busy running their businesses to do their own blog writing.

As a business owner, you are not supposed to writing your blog article or trying to rank in the search engines. You have bigger tasks to focus on, and it’s waste of your valuable time.

Some people think they can just ‘write it themselves’, but the truth is that most business owners lack the writing skills to create great quality content.

Digital marketing is always evolving and changing, and your website content and blog content need to stay ahead of the changes. With tools such as ChatGPT and online writing services, it can be tempting to try to do your content writing at little or no cost.

The most important aspect of working with a website content writing service is that they can offer consistency. Everyone knows they should be creating quality content for their potential client or customer, but very few actually do it.

A freelance writer will create a content calendar for your business. This will list each planned blog post, and also keywords, meta description, and other important SEO content information. The content creation calendar will have dates for drafts to be written and publish dates once each blog post has been approved.

Working with our team, we’ll help keep you on track.

Can I Use AI Generated Content for My Website?

Yes, you can try using AI generated content as a starting point. Currently there are restrictions on using CHatGPT or AI content generators as part of your content marketing strategy.

However, you will soon discover that will your website will not stand out from the competition.

Engaging content is difficult to create, and even harder to get to rank on search engines. Experienced writers know how to speak in the voice of your customer, and deliver the right content type for your audience.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with using free AI content generators to brainstorm and create content outlines. Many of our clients begin with a list of keywords and ideas from an AI content generator tool. They then employ our experienced writers to make their blogs, social media posts, or white papers stand out.
