Do content writers usually offer discounts for larger volumes to be written?

Sure they do, but they’re not the kind of writer you want to hire. You want to hire a writer who can say something in two words, not 10.

If you decide not to get a discount by volume, paying too little per word also results in getting poor help.

The old fast-cheap-good triangle is still tried and true. You can have any two of the three.

I do not, nor do others that I know of.

I will sometimes do a project for a flat fee.

I don’t understand the concept of “content writers”. Do you mean “writers”? Some writers might work on a “per word” basis, but I thought that went out with Dickens. (On the other hand, I sometimes think that Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum, two writers whose work I used to really respect and enjoy, started to write on a per-word basis—their new stuff is rubbish.)

I thought that most article writers contracted to write pieces of a predetermined length for a predetermined price. Newspaper column writers, for example, have to write (and be edited) to a pretty precise length to fit in the allotted space per week.

But I’m not a writer; what do I know?
