Some freelancers charge based on words they write, some charge based on paragraphs, others also charge based on hours they commit to writing or days for the project.

Another essential aspect of costing is the payment structure. There are different payment structures used for payment of freelancers. Some freelancers are paid in advance or on project completion. Some marketers use a payment structure, where writers are paid based on the impact of their content on the rankings or SEO.
