How much should I charge to write an essay for a client? I am just starting out so I don't want to scare the cat off with some obscene amount.
Please list a reasonable amount.

I used to charge 1 pound for 100 words in the UK but we have inflation now.

Please advise.

P.S. I am in the US.

Thanks.

How much to charge in dollars? No ideas, hmmm..

Charge $10-$20 per double spaced page. This is typical of essay writing services. You can charge more if the essay requires 1) specialized knowledge, 2) research.

Thanks, sounds like a great guideline.

Where I'm from that's a little expensive. $5 per double-spaced page... $10 if there's a lot of citations.

Usually when I hire writers on Free Lancers sites, they charge around 5-10$ per 600 words.

Sometimes charging more is more effective. The reverse psychology allows the person to justify that this overcharge must mean that the person is excellently qualified to be charging such an amount.

For example, I charged $40/hour for a similar service and the cash wasn't bad. I then placed an ad charging $90/hour for the exact same service. Guess what? I had more requests for my service at $90 than I did at $40. If I had the audacity to charge such an amount for my services, then people justified it by thinki I must be super qualified for what I was charging them for.

I think the OP is talking about a specialized form of essay writing, i.e. academic writing. Since grades are at stake in this, it would make sense to pay more for genuine quality.

What kind of paper?
How much research?
What kind of turn around?

400 words for a blog post - 3-6 bucks
1500 words of custom quality content - 50-200 bucks
e-book 80+ pages - 1200
an actual novel, 300+ pages - 5-8k
PHD Thesis in science - 10,000 bucks
Patent Application - 50k

Writing an essay is an intimidating task, and getting started is often the hardest part. Need to write a short essay at some level of their education. Firstly, you need to mind map ideas before writing your essay. This will help you analyze and understand your topic. When writing short essay about love there are a few different ways to approach this topic. Love includes such a large number of things, and every individual has their own musings and convictions in regards to fondness.

Apparently I was very lucky. I always wrote an essay quickly and received high marks.

[JohnnyBo]

Hm I always ordered an essay (I rarely wrote it myself), as it turns out not well enough and there was not so much time in student time. I remember it with a shudder, it's good that I got an education and just work

As someone who had experience with many essay writers, I would recommend to not try to save money when it comes to essay writing tasks.
Most "cheap" essay writers are crap. They probably send your essay to someone in India or Pakistan. I use a company called Peachy Essay. They normally charge around $100 per 1,000 words. They have a price calculator app that you can check the prices here. https://peachyessay.com/product/peachy-e...alculator/

But their work is really good. I got a friend of mine who did his whole bachelor degree dissertation with them.

They have a funny video too:

Apparently Unemployed Professors is pretty good. They allow you to post a "job", then they'll have various "professors" (legit academics) bid on it. So you always have options.
