Default Re: writing for a living

First thing first, to answer your question here, you must think as if you were the buyers. If you have a website monetizing from adsense or affliates the article must be able to generate enough traffic in order to earn back the money paid. For 1000 unique visitors, the conversion is roughly about 1% which means 10 clicks out of 1000 visitors. If 10 clicks generate 0.25cent (average for adsense), per day you should get $2.50. You will need 100 days to cover back the investment of $25 paid to the writer.

So do you think as a buyer, you will take that kind of risk?
