Blogging Companies:
To calculate the costs for I took 7 competitor freelance blogging companies from Source Solvid.
I used the average of these 7. The average cost is x average # of words per blog post and optimal cost is x optimal # of Words.
For Freelancer Calculations:
Several Tiers of Freelance Writers: Tier 3 is the appropriate tier for Start-Up Blogs. These Writers charge between $.1-.2.
To stay on the conservative side, we chose $.2. The average blog post is 1200 words and posted 1.5x a week. Bringing the average cost
to $1480/month.
The optimal number of words is 1760 and posted 3.5x a week. Bringing the optimal cost to $4800/month.

The average cost is x average # of words per blog post and optimal cost is x optimal # of Words. For Freelancer Calculations: Several Tiers of Freelance Writers: Tier 3 is the appropriate tier for Start-Up Blogs. These Writers charge between $.1-.2. To stay on the conservative side, we chose $.2. The average blog post is 1200 words and posted 1.5x a week. Bringing the average cost to $1480/month. The optimal number of words is 1760 and posted 3.5x a week. Bringing the optimal cost to $4800/month. Sources: Freeland, A. (2020, March 6). Freelance Writing Rates: How Much Should I Pay?
