Hello! Hoping to get some advice on fair rates.
I'm working for a small UK tech company and looking to build out a blog and commission freelance writers on an ongoing basis. We want to build a body of how-to guides on practical business advice for our customers, around 1,500 words each, written for a non-technical audience (people who run kids clubs, forest schools, activity classes etc.).
We can provide a brief for each piece, and the topics are not complicated. Things like: how to register as self-employed, how to handle refunds, how to manage bookings without spreadsheets.
Could anyone tell me what you'd expect to be paid per article for this kind of work? We want to pay fairly and build a small reliable team, so genuinely want to get this right before we start outreach. We'd also be interested in student writers.
Thanks!
