Do you really think you're worth $180.00 an hour for your writing?
He's writing, not transcribing. I type at 100 WPM but writing a 1000 word article can easily take me 3 to 5 hours, even longer with revisions. Writing about cryptocurrency involves a great deal of thought, research and fact-checking.
I wouldn't lower your prices, srgkrgkj, just keep improving your craft.
I think that might be an issue with your research speed in that case, not necessarily your typing proficiency itself. I type at 130 WPM (which isn't actually that different) and typing a 1000 word article usually takes me 30-60 minutes. If you can maximise your google search query efficiency and also get proficient at skim-reading articles to pick out the perfect pieces of knowledge and information, your time per article should be drastically lowered.
This is exactly how I got through all my years of education. Improving google search efficiency improves your life. I can agree with the time-frame he's provided; I used to bang out 1000-word research papers in about 45 minutes. That's start to finish, meaning I probably didn't do the reading for that week and I spent the whole week napping and smoking.
