I write blog posts for others on areas of expertise, but I have been known to buy writing from others if I need something in an area I don’t have time to research. What I am willing to pay for blog writing depends greatly on the expertise and skill of the writer. For example, if I wanted to hire a top notch writer with many years of experience and original samples good enough for a high-end influencer blog, it wouldn’t be unusual for me to understand a fee of $25-200 for just 500 words. The range is wide there since professionals still vary a lot and their track records may be quite different too. I would expect a higher end writer to have excellent fluency and readability even in draft and I would expect the delivered article to be perfectly edited and proofed before delivery.

On the other hand, I’ve hired some writers just to help me generate lots of copy for a new site and I haven’t always needed perfection. I still expect the writing to be original and readable, I expect the writer to be fluent in English and check their spelling and simple punctuation, but I’m willing to proof it myself or outsource proofing if I need cheap content. (My degree is in literature, not editing, so I don’t even consider myself to be a great proofeader.) If I’m looking for that kind of low-end content I would expect to pay $5-10 for 500-1000 words. I’ve found some OK writers who weren’t 100% fluent who would write 1500 original words for that amount. Note that I don’t mean encoded or plagiarized material - I don’t pay anything for that.

There isn’t one straightforward answer to your question because of the skill/expertise/fluency factors. I took a look at your profile and you have some fairly major writing errors in your profile and gig descriptions. You have 4 reviews that don’t tell much about you. If you are evaluating what to charge for your own writing, it would have to be very original and you’d need to get someone to help you proof it just to keep some kind of orders coming in. That still might not be enough with the competition here.

Actually many of the viewers told me I have gig description problem and I changed it quite many times after getting the reviews but still, I am getting this type of feedback.Now I am really confused about my gig description what to do.I am not getting any clue now where I am wrong and how to fix it properly without error.

Dear Iffat:

I took a stab at making your profile description more natural for a Western audience:

I am a professional freelance writer and provide quality writing and high-quality research. I add value to your website by providing colorful content, such as article, blog, academic, and content writing. Please contact me today. – Iffat

Looking at your profile, I’d suggest you add a new photo, smiling, and better centered. Why is the top of your head cut off? Can you wear Western style professional dress? In other words, like the saying, “When in Rome, do as Romans do,” dress for the audience of Buyers you are trying to reach.

Video of you talking to the Buyer might be helpful, as well:

Your gig photos are actually fairly generic and do not make your gigs stand out to the Buyer.

Good luck,

Blaise

I see that you’ve encouraged a more “Western” style feel. I can Americanize the language a tad bit better in a very subtle way:

Do you need attractive content (Go Baseball team, yay!)? Words that scorch the soul’s of men (Country Music Hooray!) - stripping your consumer’s will to shards of ice chips… falling from a gnawing chainsaw ( Super American action movie, Rocky Montage!)? Do you want an audience that’s galvanized into word- babble brutality? Lip trembling, syllable hanging, edge of their seat descriptions and content that hammers the human spirit with the unhinged rhythm of vertigo (Hip hop lingo, America cool people yo yo)?

Then you need Iffat’s “Wonder Words!”

"Iffat’s Wonder Words!" is the integral component of all content that’s guaranteed to rip your imagination’s socks off (Super dunk basketball, America Michael Jordan Rad!). Blitz your consumer’s mind’s into a dark retreat of buying suggestion. Captivate their consciousness and suspend their work rate in a lair of psychogenic fugue.

But don’t take our word for it… let’s ask this real life blog subscriber how they felt about Iffat’s expression explosion:

“Must… Buy… Things…” - (Totally real life blog reader)

Awesome America High Five!

I hope this helps.

Hi,
Actually, I have modified an order as requested by buyer more than 2 times. Again he told me to modify it. I asked him in which area do I need to modify where is the fault and mark the areas so that I can give focus and modify it in a better way but he just replied me rudely that it’s not his business.😕
Now I just need to do cancel this order. I am just fed up with this order and buyer.

So my question is If I cancel it my profile will be hampered or not?
Thank you

It’s a perfect example of a scammer who wants your work for free.
If he doesn’t like what you made and wants a modification, he has to be able to tell you what exactly has to be modified.
Give him a hard time and if it gets worse contact CS. Don’t let anyone harass you.

I actually need an advice from you guys. I am really confused what to do?
I got an order and I agreed to it for $5.
while doing it i found this project is for $30. 😦
should i tell my buyer to change the amount or let it be?

Its my fault i know.

You’ve got a few options.

1 - You cancel the order. If you really can’t afford to complete the order then this is your safest option. However cancellation isn’t recommended as it can have a negative impact upon your gigs and seller level.

2- You can ask the buyer to change the price. Whilst this seems like the best option in principle, the buyer is unlikely to do this and they are entitled to decline (which I suspect they will).

3 - You do the job well; you get a good review.

I recommend just doing 3. We all make mistakes and next time you’ll be able to make a profit on your order by learning from this.

yeahh I also think so just do it well. It is my huge loss lesson at the end of the year. I wanted to let it go. but you know in December the percentage of the order is little less than other months. so when I get one with the profitable amount I made my loss in it. That is the only thought killing me inside.

Thank you so much

It’s been the Christmas and New Year holidays, so obviously fewer people working and needing things done.

It should pick up again in the next week or so.

You just experience some problems on marketing gigs

Hi guys need your advice.
I am in 89% order completion rate. So how many orders should I take to keep it 90% above.
And you know that on Jan 15th there will be an evaluation. So will I lose my level(1)?

Do you use any auto responder app to reduce response time?
I don’t understand why does all the buyers knock me at midnight while it’s sleeping time.
Help me out by suggesting any free auto responder app.
Thnks

I don’t think auto responder apps are a thing? Even if they are, you probably shouldn’t use them. It’s best to respond to buyers in your own words.

They might be messaging you at midnight because they’re from different time zones.

request him/her that his/her money is saved in your account. just hold on this order. in future if he needs same services you will do it for free to balance it.

can you tell me now I have 97% rate if i cancel it how many percentages will be reduced?

it depends on numbers of orders you have completed. like if your are new, you have just completed few orders, it will make big effect.

Depends on how many orders you’ve completed in the past 60 days.
