What's the minimum pay for a writer?

The price charged by the content writers depends on different factors such as the level of competition in their platform they are using. For instance most writers charge an average of $5 for about 500-1000 words of seo enriched content. Some charge higher amounts for the same quantity of words because of their expertise and the rate of patronage.

Yes money is one of the main requirements which we need to survive in the world. But as you asked about minimum charges for a writer, I think it depends upon the projects you are doing, or writing for. Because if a writer gets an order to write a book after research and given material of it, definitely he would charge the price of book, keeping the hard work in mind, but if you are given to suggest a book name after reading it only, or a simple article, you would be given amount according to that. But there are some writers who charge per word also. You can choose that option too.
 
The pay for a writer depends on the kind of writing that he does and also depends on the caliber of the writer. When I was writing for a pet magazine (Animal Scene is the largest pet magazine here) I get paid 700 pesos for each article (that's about $14). For the e-magazine of the movie industry they pay me $10 per article but that is easier for me to write. For another magazine called Panorama they paid my articles 750 pesos, just a slightly higher than the $14. For the bigger pay was my film script (called screenplay) that was more than 100 pages of regular bond paper - I earned $500 for that effort.
Wow! I have never earn money from writing except the forum posts, if course. But then writing forum posts does not make me a writer. I don't thin there is anything such as minimum pay. It all depends on your skills and the employer's ability to pay. I see that a lot of employers based in the US hire writers from the developing work and pay very little.
 
The rate would really depend on the site. It could also be based on the level of how well one's writing skills are. In freelancing sites, you get to choose how much to charge but you have to put in mind that there's a lot of competition in there so be wise and not ask for too high price.

This is not to brag but I consider myself a writer because of my experience in the newspaper and magazine. I also won in some writing contest and I was proud of my short story about pets in the future. But now I have quit on writing for magazines because the collection is a problem - I cannot go to their office for the payment, it's quite far especially in this pandemic era. I have submitted more than 10 short stories in Analog Magazine based in the US, it is a sci-fi magazine. I have no success, all my submissions were rejected.

When you talk about your skills, knowledge, experience, and achievements, that's not bragging. You are talking about what you can do and what you have achieved. My point about the employers in the US hiring freelancers from the developing world for minimal pay was based on my observation on the freelancer sites. I have a writer friend who also submits stories regularly in American magazines but like you, he has never been accepted. Interestingly, my friend regularly writes for local newspapers.
 
Personally I don't think that there is a site that specifies the minimum pay a writer should earn. Most times you put your charge based on what you think your work is worth. In the current world we live in many don't like writing and then the few that writes can take advantage and raise their value.
 
The truth is that howbmuch you earn as a writer depends on the kind of work you are doing and who you are working for, I won't say there is a minimum payment for a writer but I believe the minimum pay should be reasonable
 
Among beginners, defined as those with zero to three years of experience: 25.7% earned $1 to $20 per hour. Only 4.3% earned more than $100 per hour. The most common pay range was $21-$40 per hour (32.1%)

There is no minimum pay for a writer. Your writing skills will determine your income. Same goes with positive reviews you got from others for a job well dome is also a determinant factor in what you earn as a writer.

I don't think the take home of some writers can literally take them home, I mean it is so poor that it's sometime turn me off from writing anything anywhere for anyone.
This set of people share knowledge but lack the purchasing power.
 
As a writer you need to be creative and know how to research before you will be able to earn a lot of goodies from your work. I won't say there is a minimum payment for a writer.

Concerning what's the minimum pay for a writer. Well, I dont have any idea of how much a writer collects as a pay. I think that is dependent on the kind of writing the individual does and the company or person that hires him for the writing job. I don't there is a significant pay for a writer, it depend on what and how well he can offer the job
 
Marketing-related writing pays higher than general content creation. This includes copywriting, sales pages, press releases, ads (pay-per-click ads or advertorials), and email content. Other business writing, such as white papers, brochures, and position statements, generally pays better than articles and other online writing. Working on pieces that are typical for non-profits may also fall in this better-than-average area.

payment of writer depends on work This FAQ doesn't have a simple answer. Most intermediate to advanced freelance writers charge between 10 cents and $1 per word, depending on the amount of work they will have to put into the project. But, the way they bill that average range will vary less....
 
I started as a writer. I have written a 500 words articles just for $1 as well as for $10. How much I charge for my writing services depend on how much the client is willing to pay. These days my asking rate is $20 for 1000 words. However, I am willing to lower my rate for volume works.
Where do you advertise your services? I'm interested because I want to go into writing professionally this year, but my little research shows a lot of stiff competition.

I love the business and social media niches.
 
Beggars cannot be choosers. You will have to accept what ever you receive. You can set your own price only when you gain a stature. In order to gain a stature, you need to be highly skilled as well as work very hard.
