To all Writers: How many words do you usually write per hr?

[Tara Larson]

I am going to hire a full time writer for Amazon affiliate site.

I need to know from established writers how many words of researched content do you produce per hr ?

Thanks in advance

I think that is kind of general question, but the answers can be different.
I believe everything depends on the typing skills and the topic (knowledge in the certain area).

might not be the answer you're looking for but from my own experience and hearing from others in this industry, it's more effective to hire two part-time writers than one full-time writer. After writing for more than three to four hours your output will decrease.

to answer your question: about 500-1000 words per hour

You should measure and pay for quality of words not volume of words, as ultimately that is what matters as a well written piece will aid sales not just ranking.

Otherwise it is like thinking a book with more pages is better quality than a book with fewer pages.

Then, like anything in life, you should set your budget based on buying the best you can afford.

If im writing something i already know about and know what i want to say, 4-5k an hour, If i have to research and look things up, 1000-1500 an hour
