I think the blog writing services work best for large, established blogs with traffic. If you know you can get at least a sale or two off of any new posts just based on traffic volume, why wouldn't you spend $3 each? Or even more? You're still easily making profit, and you're freeing up your time to do other things like link trades, etc.
It's tough for new blogs without an existing network to feed them traffic, and I think a lot of newbies or at least blog newbies don't really understand how long it can take to start getting traffic. Five or ten posts isn't going to cut it. They want to update regularly, but it's a lot tougher to justify that cost when you are virtually guaranteed NOT to make a sale on them for quite some time.
Personally I have found that writing blog entries for others cannot be my main business anymore, and unless you want to work for office-temp rates at $10-12/hour, I don't see how anyone could make it their full time biz. I still do a few here and there, but I mostly have my local assistant writer do them and focus my time on reviews.
