Ask HN: What payout makes writing a tutorial worth your while?

2 pointsby tuttyboy12 months ago
I recently started a technical content service that provides tutorials to tech startups. The tutorials show developers how to build solutions with a startup&#x27;s APIs and supporting technology. They are around 2,000 words. This word count includes all the code.<p>I&#x27;m trying to find the sweet spot to pay seasoned developers who have experience writing how-to content in concise English. To build an app, create a repo for your code, and deliver a tutorial that&#x27;s publish-ready, what payout would make it worth your while?<p>$1000? $1250? $1500? $2000? More?<p>Assume you are writing for a legitimate startup with a reliable platform (no major bugs) and good docs.

I think $50-100&#x2F;hr. would be a decent rate for writing such content, honestly. An article of 2000 words may take 8+ hours (could be less, could be more).<p>Are you looking for writers? Feel free to email: matt (at) javascripttoday.com. :)
