How much did you get paid for your last article?

I am a freelance writer as well and to be honest with you, it's not easy out there to make it as long as you keep writing for others. What I earn is between that $30-$50 per some articles and I have to say that it's not a big amount when we consider the amount of work we put into making such article that quality. This is the reason I am planing of having a website where I can market my writings and see how good it is going to get at the end. By doing so, I might get a contract from big company that will pay me what I am worth as a writer.

Currently I'm not exactly making a fortune off of my written work. Whether it is an article or whatever type of written work, I usually work for anywhere between $0.02-$0.05 USD per word. So at best I'm usually making anywhere between $20-$50 USD depending on the length/rate for the work. It's a good thing I'm not interested in a luxury lifestyle because I certainly wouldn't be able to afford it at the current rate, haha.

From what I remember, I was paid $3 for each article that was published. It's not much, I know, but I consider myself a trainee in writing articles so the amount of payment is not an issue. However, I couldn't write articles anymore because of my tight schedule in the office when I was assigned to a different position. But I still continue with my freelancing and mostly on forum posting and rarely with article writing.

I'm just starting out as a serious writer. My last article paid me $35. I have received higher. In the writing industry there seasons especially if you don't have long term clients. Sometimes you need to accept whatever payment you are given if you're facing a dry spell. I have received as much as $ 100 dollars for an article from a magazine. However writing is a journey and I started out charging 5$ for 500 words. Patience and developing your skill on a daily basis helps.

Having worked as a freelancer for almost a year now, I must confess that at first, I wasn't earning much from my articles probably because of my still being a rookie at the job. But as I progressed with the job, things got more interesting and exciting as well because I can earn roughly $40 to $60 depending on how much jobs I get. I'm still looking at the prospect of improving my earnings by getting involved with more tasks.

I didn't earn much for the last article that I wrote. I earned about $25 which is not good pay as I spent so much time working on that article. Sometimes I don't really have a choice but I have to accept those low paying jobs. I once earned about $150 for a research paper that was based on poverty in my country. I undertook lots of research and conducted numerous interviews. I was writing this paper for a particular institution.

There really should be a platform that gives out assignments and buys articles faster than the conventional method. How can freelancers earn if we get paid after a month. Plus a lot of magazines and publications only accept "Native English Writers Only". I think it's unfair.

Last article I wrote for a news publication earned me $30, although not every article I write earns me that much.

Can I ask how you get these jobs to write articles? Do you create services on sites like WordClerks or do you use some sort of a service where they give you an article list and you can write articles on each topic? I would definitely be interested in this because I have a lot of free time these days so I wouldn't mind spending my time even for $30.

I actually didn't get anything for my last article since I wrote it for my blog

The last one that I did was actually for an offline job and it was paid 55 euros. It only paid more because it's offline though... online you have more competition and many people are willing to work for a very low rate so it brings the prices down. I think relatively speaking though, the more experience you have/good reputation the more you can potentially ask for your written work.

It's good to see that you really earn guys from writing articles online. Before, I thought it's all scam. I have account in one site, but never earn anything from that. Because of my busy schedule on my job, I can't focus in my some articles writing online.

I just recently made $50 American dollars for an article I wrote. I think that, like a lot of us do, I should have been paid more for my work and my research (the article was out of my content niche so I had to do my homework extensively in order to write it), but I needed the money and the opportunity was there. It's rough freelancing because there will always be others out there who will do the same work as you but for lesser pay, so you are always in a bidding war of sorts. Still, though, I love to write, so it's not like it's hard manual labor or anything. However, when you break down the time it took me to do the article and the research, I was probably getting paid about 3 or 4 dollars an hour...

Okay, for my last Article yesterday I got paid a whopping $2.35 hahaha. Well actually it was a voice recording which I have to transcribe and convert into an article. The actual transcription is about 12 minutes long but there's a lot of fillers. What's important is I got his ideas, it took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to finish an article. I'm doing another one later.

$20, but it wasn't as much a writing service as it was piecing together an article. An interview actually, with an actor who appeared in a Christmas-themed slasher film. So I had to put together, edit, layout and organize the interview into a web page, and then launch a live version of the page featuring the interview - that the client was happy with.

nope . i did not get any payment from writing articles and i hope i can get one for this one.

My e-book sells for $0.00. Well, it was my first book but I don't put money on it. It was free and a trial for me if somebody else will love my writing. Fortunately it was good and some actually like it.

I Just finished a writing job, it's to write 5 short Articles for $20 each one should have 300+ pages each. I claimed this job last night and it took me 14 hours to finish it, well i did rest a bit by watching an anime (overlord S2 ep9) and a movie (china salesman- iron mike vs segal), it did took some time for me to finish it, but i also had fun writing it. Writing short articles is easier because it's straight to the point plus you don't have to use fillers.

I just finished an article in a new site I've registered I to its called Livingston-research.com and they pay you $3 to $30 per article. $3 is for short Articles of 150-250 words. Does anyone here have experienced working on this site?

I just got paid $12 for 3 articles of 300 words each, it's a low price at $4 per article but it's okay I wrote it in 3 hours. They got $12 worth of articles.

I got paid for like $30. But it was a lot of work. I had to continuously submit content for days until I finished the entire project. And then they'd have quality checks for each submission. Basically, not enough pay for the stressful work involved.

I got paid $15 for writing hundreds of short rehash jokes. About 300 one liners. I think it's not bad because I just changed the wordings a bit, took me a minute each to write it.
