To my writers/content creators and alike, how much do you charge to write content for someone? And do you charge them hourly or by cents per word? I’ve been offered a small contract for 10 hours per week and not sure what my rate should be or how I should set it up

I usually charge a flat fee. Eliminates the debate about how long something should take. For other professionals, flat $500 for resume, press release etc. They provide info, I write. I would take the gig because it will give you clips and reference if you’re just getting started.

Do a one hour test. Write something and edit it within that hour and see what sorta useful output you can get. Extrapolate that out to ten hours and figure what's a good rate. If you do 500 words an hour, at 10 hrs a week, that's 5000 words. At even ten cents a word that's 500 usd. Pick more like 20 cents a word and it's 100 usd an hour/1k per week.

As a Consultant, your full time jobs hourly rate is around 65-90 an hour. Use that as a barometer if you have to

How do you find clients to do this type of work?

I got lucky. An old professor randomly reached out once he launched his start up
