In order to get the quality content your webpage or blog needs (and one that you can’t do yourself), you need to hire a content writer. That may prove to be a not so easy task. Especially when it comes to balancing price and quality you get for the money you offer.

There are a few things you need to determine in order to better understand how much you should pay content writer.

What Kind of Content Do You Want?

There are several kinds of content that you are probably considering:

Landing Pages - It is important that you have an initial strategy – what you want the costumers to do? That happens on your landing page! Make sure that you choose only one way they can go. Doesn’t matter if you want them to register or subscribe or buy. Just don’t make it all three at once! You should have a clear call to action with well-placed SEO keywords and now exceed 400 words (but that is mostly depending on the site design). If you allow to have a bad landing page content it is going to cost you a lot more than paying a good content writer. You will lose many potential customers.

5 Landing Page Design Mistakes

SEO Blog Posts – SEO is one of the best ways to increase traffic to your website, and it would be a shame not to use the potential it offers. Of course, you will need a good writer that knows his SEO and can actually make your website more visible on Google and social media websites alike.

Mini Blogs – Sometimes you just need to add something to your website that is not going to have a permanent importance to the people who are visiting it and reading you content. Following a popular trend that may die off soon is very often, but you still need to participate and mini blogs are a great way to do it.

Landing Page Cost - There was a really interesting forum discussion about it, though — and some professional landing page writers quoted $1,500-$25,000 per page of content.

SEO Blog Post Cost -

$50-$150 per month — low-end SEO (or low competition)

• $150-$300 per month — mid-range small business SEO

• $300-$500 per month — more competitive mid-range SEO

• $500-$1,000 per month — high-end small business SEO (usually a national business)

• $1,000-$2,000 per month — high-quality for competitive industries

• $ 2,000 upwards per month — high-value businesses with content-led SEO approach. Typically a national or multi location business.

Mini Blogs Cost - The cost ranges from $50-$100.
