Some authors on the Yahoo Contributor Network are able to make $50K+ per year. Payment is in two parts: Upfront and Performance. Upfront payments are in the range of $0-15 and do not preclude the contributor from receiving performance payments. Performance payments are $1-2 CPM for a given article.
In the U.S., salaries for full-time technical writers range from $15,000 to $170,000 (average salary of $78,614) which seems true for Canadian tech writers as well. I believe the average technical writer salary in Canada would be around $60,000. Few of my classmates started their technical writing career with $40,000 and I know few technical writers who make over $80,000 every year in the GTA. In the U.S., contract technical writers get an average hourly rate of $41. This means, on average, technical writers get paid $1641 every week.
