Think it would be silly to charge per word exactly however something like $x for a post 500 words in size $y for a post 1,000 words in size and so on per post or per 500 words.

$x for a post 500 words in size

Though as with any type of freelance writing, aspiring paid bloggers should realize that with more experience comes higher rates. So work at improving your writing and style.

Like Steven, I have been approached for many of my blog writing opportunities. In fact, come to think about it, I only ever applied for my very first one, plus a real estate gig down the track. All the other blogging gigs were a result of having been contacted by the blog owners. To me, having an online presence and building my brand is very important for any freelance writer. As you can see, it goes a long way to keep writing for others and certainly helps to pay the bills. :grin: That was very valuable information for new bloggers who want to get into the game Kevin.

You bring up many good points. Selling yourself is always hard. Many of us have a hard time valuing ourselves and talents correctly. Not undercutting our potential is a good thing to evaluate.

My advice is, it gets easier with time. Once you have a few regular gigs you'll get a better idea of how much time you need to spend to get the job done and what you need to be able to get for your time. Another piece of advice is to just get started. One freelance position can easily lead to others. I've had several instances where I was approached about an opportunity because someone saw one of my posts on another blog. It's kind of a snowball effect, and the more name recognition you have the more powerful that snowball effect will be. Pricing is definitely is difficult issue.

Whilst writing the post I realised that it could be split into 2 or possibly 3 posts. I know some readers prefer shorter posts to digest but I usually try and include everything I can in the one post. This is perhaps why I've not written a series of posts at BloggingTips yet (though I have a few ideas for some) :) no problem David.

Great post and definitely something there needs to be more information on. (maybe a whole series about defining your rates?) Thanks for the mention.
