How much does a blog writer cost?
On freelance marketplaces, a writer typically charges $60–$120 for a short article (~800 words), $120–$250 for a medium one (~1,500 words) and $250–$500 for long, in-depth content. Content agencies usually charge about twice as much, adding management, editing and strategy.
And there's the invisible cost: writing it yourself. An optimized article takes 3 to 6 hours of research, writing, editing and publishing. For a business owner, those hours are worth money — and they're exactly the ones missing to serve customers.
The calculator above compares those scenarios with AutoBlog, which builds your SEO strategy, writes optimized articles and publishes them on WordPress, Wix or a blog we host for you — from $7/month, less than a single freelance article.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a freelance writer charge per article?
The common range is $60–$500 per article, depending on length, topic complexity and the writer's experience. SEO-optimized articles with keyword research tend to sit at the top of the range.
Does AI-generated content rank on Google?
Yes — Google evaluates how helpful content is, not who wrote it. What doesn't rank is shallow content, with or without AI. AutoBlog generates articles from a keyword strategy, with structure, FAQ and structured data — the format Google rewards.
What's included in AutoBlog plans?
An SEO strategy for your niche, articles written and published automatically (WordPress, Wix or a blog we host), images, internal links and scheduling. Plans vary by posts per month and number of sites.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Plans are monthly with no lock-in, and the 7-day trial doesn't ask for a credit card.
