  • By the word
  • By the page

In case of a blogs, trade magazines or consumer magazines, the rate is usually on a per word basis. In case of more complex technical writing the charge is based on a per hour basis. It is however important to keep in mind that long term clients prefer paying on a per word basis, instead of a per hour basis.
