I rarely have paid blogging posts in my blog but when I do, I usually accept at least $15 per article.

Dude, I’m sorry to point this out but if you don’t know the difference between ‘accept’ and ‘except’ and if you don’t proofread your posts before publishing them (as seems evident with this one) then $5 seems like a fair price to me!

I only blog for pay for one site, and I charge a monthly fee to maintain the blog including updating links and site content and posting up to 4 articles per month. I’d say I average about $10 per post with posts averaging about 250 words. Hourly, though, it averages out to about $10 per hour when I take into consideration the amount of time I spend maintaining the blog. If the owner of the site wasn’t a friend, I’d definitely charge more for these services. I’d say that if all you’re doing is researching and writing a blog post, $.05 to $.10 per word is a fair rate. If there are images, key words and other factors to consider, rates should go up from there. I honestly find it difficult to work for less than 10 cents a word. The less I’m being paid, the less I enjoy the work, at that’s not good for me or my client.

I’m about where you are, it seems. I’ve made $125 for 20 400 word posts, but it was a subject I knew lots about. When the subject matter changed, I left the position. I’ve made $25 a post, and my last gig was .05 a word. I’ve learned that I won’t work for less than what I feel I’m worth.
