I'm pretty sure many posters on CB can write 250 words per minute.

250 words an hour? Is that a lot?

Google says the average person types 40 words per minute…soooo yeah. It’s fast

The Pope

May 21, 9:43am

So 2,400 words an hour?

DubuMfalme

No.

Ah, didn’t catch that nuance on the first read. Definitely a distinction there

The Pope

It is if you are writing 250/hour 24/7 and all of the words are coherent…

It isn't 24/7. The OP just took $17.50 and divided by $0.07, which is 250. So

They're not "typing" that article.

A quick search shows that it typically takes about 6-8 hours for the average

Let's say it takes them 7 hours. That is 286 words per hour, so about $20/hour

The people who write for them aren't doing it to make a living, is the answer.

DubuMfalme

What did I say that was incorrect?

ochobeeguy

May 21, 2:50pm

It doesn't seem like a lot to me. Google says 250 words is 1/2 of a page single space or a full page double spaced.

No way $250K a year to type. Sorry, not buying the $0.07 a word he represents

Acorn

It's not $0.07/word to simply type words. It's $0.07/word for an article that is

What makes that even funnier? $17.50 per hour is $36,400 per year, and my guess

No, that's the freelancer wage. The writer is not an employee.

I promise you, it takes more skill, knowledge, and effort to write an article
