Freelance writers and small agencies pay monthly because briefs save an hour or more per article. Combining SERP data with a language model makes this a lightweight product to build. Expect to spend about $200–$1.5k to start, earn your first dollar in 4–6 weeks, and reach roughly $800–$8k/mo after a year of steady work.
