Billing Scenarios for Bloggers

How to label charges so every invoice makes sense the moment your clients see it.

Blog post (800-1200 words); Research time

Writing a single blog post for a flat fee

Separates core writing from research so effort and value are clear.

Writing (per word); Editing/proofreading

Ongoing per-word assignments

Keeps variable word counts transparent and shows polish work separately.

Sponsored content fee; Ad disclosure admin

Sponsored post with brand links and disclosures

Calls out the premium work and the compliance admin as distinct costs.

Content refresh; SEO optimization add-on

Refreshing an existing article

State how many rounds are included and the rate for extra rounds, and get approval before continuing.

Rush fee; Priority scheduling

Rush delivery under 24 hours

Flags speed-based cost without inflating the base writing rate.

Social promotion package; Platform scheduling

Makes distribution work visible beyond drafting the post.

Common Blogger Invoicing Mistakes

Real work gets messy, but small fixes keep cash flowing and clients calm.

Mistake

How to fix it

Bundling writing, research, and admin into one line hides effort and triggers price pushback.

Use separate lines for core writing, research, and admin so value is obvious and approvals are cleaner.

Skipping usage rights leaves clients unsure how they can reuse the post and invites rework.

Spell out license scope, channels, duration, and exclusivity in plain language so everyone knows the limits.

Subtract the deposit as its own entry and show the new balance due on the same invoice.

State how many rounds are included and the rate for extra rounds, and get approval before continuing.

Leaving out due date and late-fee terms lets invoices drift unpaid.

Set a clear pay-by date, list accepted methods, and note a fair late fee so expectations are set.

Charging tax the wrong way risks non-compliance and angry emails.

Check local rules, add tax only when required, and keep taxable and non-taxable items separate for clarity.

Bloggers Invoice FAQs

Bill for blog posts, SEO add-ons, image licensing, retainers, rush turnarounds, and usage rights the right way. Line items, fees, markup, terms. Clear answers.

How do I price per word vs per post?

Charge per word for variable depth, per post for defined scope. Spell out length, research, and edits. Example line item: “1,200-word blog @ $0.25/word: $300.”

What’s a fair way to bill for SEO work?

Break out research, brief, and optimization. Tie it to deliverables like keyword map and meta data. Example: “SEO brief + on-page optimization: $150.”

How do I charge for stock images and graphics?

Bill image sourcing separately from writing. Include license type and file count. Example: “3 royalty-free images @ $15 each: $45.”

What’s included in revisions, and what triggers extra fees?

Include one or two rounds within 14 days, same scope. New angles or added sections count as new work. Example: “Extra revision round: $75.”

Can I add a rush or weekend fee?

Yes. State your turnaround window and a percentage for expedited work. Example: “Rush delivery (48 hours): 25% surcharge: $75.”

How should retainers for ongoing content be billed?

Set a monthly post count or hours with rollover rules. Include a use-it-or-lose-it clause to avoid end-of-month pileups. Example: “Content retainer: 6 posts/month: $1,800.”

What’s the difference in pricing for ghostwriting vs bylined work?

Ghostwriting often costs more due to anonymity and NDAs. Note usage rights and author credit. Example: “Ghostwriting premium: 20%: $120.”

How do I bill for interviews and transcription?

Charge for interview time, prep, and transcription separately. Attach source list delivery. Example: “Interview + transcript (45 min): $90.”
