If you have doubts regarding how much you should pay your content writer, I would like to say, think, what value you derive out of his or her content. After all, you are going to run your entire online business on the strength of the content you have on your homepage and elsewhere. Your business content is more important than your website layout and you will realize this if you somehow manage to stay on despite shoddy content.
