I just estimated that in $/word terms, my consulting work pays about $1.20 - $3/word.
Most I've ever been paid for magazine writing is $0.55/word
When I pay contributors to ribbonfarm (non-editorial contributors) it works out to 2.5-5c/word ($100 flat for a 2-4k word post)

In a year and a bit of freelancing I've found that the further I get from the actual product, the more money I make. Consulting > setting development writing > actually writing the thing.
