Exclusive Community of 19,000 Mom Bloggers

Hourly rate for problogging?

I want to hear from the mom bloggers who are being hired to blog, edit or write. What are you making per hour (or post or assignment)?

I know we're a little shy about sharing what we're making, so maybe give an example like, "Most blogging jobs I know about pay $X per post or about $X per hour." You don't need to give details on who is paying what, but please share details like "$X for a 500 word post" or "$X for 8 posts a month."

So many bloggers, especially newbies, aren't been paid properly for their time and content. I feel if we share what we're making that will give us the power to negotiate better blogging deals for ourselves.

Sisters, let's get paid what we're worth!

I'm from Asia, and so we bloggers from outside the US who ghostwrite for others are paid measly sums (like $5 for a 400-word article!). I think it's ridiculous, even if the cost of living in my country is lower than COL in the US.

Problogging is the best job ever! I'm making more blogging than I was going to work 8 hours a day. I don't get paid what you ladies are making for your posts but I just love being able to stay home, choose my hours and write about things I love or want to learn more about! It's totally worth the work to get into the blogging world.

I'm interested in finding out if the figures you're discussing cover paid reveiws as well. I have been contacted by a coupon site that has over 250,000 readers and they want me to let them know how much I want and I am clueless. I don't want to sell myself short, but I also don't want to lose the opportunity either.

That really doesn't seem worth it. I've been doing some Blog Spark, but I want to branch out and make more money than I'm making there.

Great topic! I've personally been paid $10 all the way up to $250 for a post! There is a BIG rang!

I feel I'm paid well. I just got an advertorial which paid 100 euros.

For straight content I am paid $25 per post. If I have to make, craft or cook something and write about it I am paid between $50 and $100 per post.

I would love to know where to find high quality paid writing gigs via my blog or for a company's blog, etc. I have typically charged $25-50 per post and that might range from 150-400 words. But now I see I am underselling myself!

I have done some local consulting for a small company and charged $50 / hour to help them set up their social media pages like FB and Twitter.

Would definitely be interested in hearing about paid opportunities! Please email at juliekieras@comcast.net !!!
