LONG OR SHORT… Let’s delve into the question of “is it better to write long or short” Most freelancers are usually paid on a word to word basis. If English isn’t your native language, or if you struggle writing without errors, you can typically expect to earn a low amount, usually half a penny a word. On the flipside, if you are experienced and have a great reputation you can expect around 10 cents a word.

Of course all of this is varied, prices usually fluctuate up and down and all of it is driven by a multitude of factors.
The usual “industry standard” is usually around 4 cents a word. Whilst this may appear low, if you are a fast writer it’s easy to make quite a bit of money very fast doing various small jobs. If you are a long writer you can expect to be paid much more due to the complexity and/or the length of the project. You can expect to earn upwards of $1000+ for your time and effort. In the end, it’s up for you to decide if you want to focus on long or short writing. Are you a person who is comfortable writing fast, focusing on different topics or are you a person who prefers to focus on one single thing and delve deep into one subject? It’s all up to you.
