I don't know what you mean by star (whether thats the paper your on about) but my Mum did paper round and got paid about £30 for 250 papers (including the leaflets) but the price changed and went down and she stopped doing it.

You get more money for the leaflets as it varies every week what you get...

Your question is very vague!

Depends on the type of area you are working in. You can deliver a heck of a lot more papers in streets of terraced houses, than detached houses with long driveways. Also depends on how fast you can walk, and how many you can carry in the bag before it's empty and you go back for more. The more leaflets you have the more you get paid. You might have some weeks with very few or no leaflets though.

I don't know what you mean by the first part.

However, I used to deliver a free paper - almost 300 a week. It took hours and I'd get between about £10-£20 depending on leaflets. Often had to deliver thick, rather heavy catalogues (e.g. Ikea) to get the top amount.

Papers aren't paid per hour, they're paid as a set amount per X amount delivered+extra for leaflets.

As part of my part time job, I have to deliver leaflets at certain times of the year, and I work on an average of 100 delivered per hour, given that some houses have driveways longer than others.

Terrace houses are easier and can up the average, but i've found in my experience the 100ph works well for me.

Property type does make a pretty big difference, but thinking about it so does paper thickness. Thin papers with 0-2 thin leaflets were far quicker to post than thicker papers or those with more/thicker leaflets.

All the houses I delivered to did have driveways, although most weren't too long. Still, I'm not sure I ever managed 100ph. Was a few years ago now though so can't say for sure, but if I ever did it wasn't very often.
