Maybe you can post up a pricing/estimate for us members who are interested in writing articles for your website. Because most of the offers I see are either paying pennies for a dollar or they want it for free so hopefully what you are offering for us members are something a little bit bigger considering that your website won't have any content at all if you don't have any writers that will be interested in the first place.
What we can offer
Money of course... We really don't have a big budget but of course, we will pay you for the job. We can talk about rates but we at this time are not making lots to pay writers like CCN, Coindesk, and the others might.
And also hopefully this statement won't be on a permanent basis. If your site becomes successful and you are earning very well I think it might be time for these writers to have a pay bump especially if they take your offer at first which I think will be low based on your statement above. Hello there,
We can be somewhat flexible with rates depending on experience and article. But we will have a ceiling that is not as high as with other news and blogs.
And of course, when we will start earning more, grow bigger we can, of course, spend more.
So, for now, we might not be able to attract the senior writers due to our lower (current) revenue. But when that changes we will change our rates accordingly.
We will pay people, and it won't be pennies and I would prefer to have those discussions with each writer via PM. If the rates are not good enough then people can always say no.
