I'm currently starting a mens fashion blog and I would like to pay someone $200 for 40 articles (around 500 words each + images as examples) You don't have to write all 40 articles, I can pay you $5/articles. I will use all resources including internet, magazines, newspapers etc. to ensure your articles were not plagerized. please refer to mexx, zara as examples. Their styles will be used as reference when writing your articles. Please email the topics for every article before writing it. Payment will be made using Paypal upon completion.

500 words for $5? Is that in any way worth anybody's time? I mean, I'm in higher ed, which means I get paid squat for my writing... but still $5 seems almost insultingly low, if you are expecting writing of any remote quality. 500 words is about a page and a half, and very few people write decently of ready-to-print copy in less than an hour. As such, this would be like way below minimum wage, plus you'll be "checking" and sending back for edits, rewrites, etc.You ought to just say, "I'll pay you $1.25 an hour for the best!" $25 a piece plus paypal fees and it starts to become something fun you could do over a weekend... pop off a few and help pay the rent. $5 is a joke and the quality is bound to be abysmal.

You can easily get someone to write 500 word articles markets online (like digitalpoint) for $7/article. Since I'm requesting 40 articles, it makes sense to ask for a discount.

The reason I'm positing it here is because it is a fashion based blog. So, if anyone's willing to write for this rate. Please contact me

Gotcha. Good luck getting quality material at this rate, though. I can't believe you'd expect to get decent stuff for the equivalent of $3 an hour.
