iwriter alternatives?

I used iwriter in the past and have tried using it again a few different times but found no one to write the article I needed. I then went to the "write content" page to see how many articles were waiting to be written and the entire page is full of articles that are still waiting to be written by someone.

Any one on here still using iwriter or know of alternatives for having content written?

      Odesk has been a nightmare for me to find quality writers without getting typos and sentences that completely don't make sense.

      Including lawrencewins, who, though more expensive than iwriter writers or fiverr ones, writes much better.

      Don't take my word for it, ask for a sample or two and see for yourself.

      Ive been using iWriter lately... got my articles done pretty quickly but I must say that even on the higher paid (5star) writers... they are hit and miss. Many times I have needed to request a rewrite since the article is 'generic' and not specific to the keyword/topic I am asking about. and the grammar hasn't been the best.

      For the inexpensive money, not a bad spot, but I do find myself (even when approving an article) going through it to do my own english rewrite.

      I almost rather do the cheaper $2/3 ones and do the fixing up myself (using theirs as a base to start with) since I find the higher priced ones needing help anyways.

      I haven't one received a submission that was ready to go right 'out of the box'

        You get what you pay for. And, if you have the time and energy to edit those cheap articles yourself, then it could be worthwhile. However, many internet marketers simply want superb content. That's why you need to keep looking and trying out writers until you can find a good one to add to your staff.

    eperkins,

    I tried writing for iWriter for 1 day. As far as I'm concerned, they're a joke.

    Textbroker is a much more professional option, for both writers and marketers who need articles written. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

    That being said, I'm sure there are other great places to get articles written.

    Hope that helps!

    Have tried iWriter, Odesk, Freelancer and various other options and the problem is always the same, I or my team are spending way too much time fixing content, which drives up the price.

    This year we decided to screw it all and bring it in house. We essentially wanted to become our own fulfilment house. At the time the need was about 100k words per month btwn client blogs, and other stuff. It was hell. It took us some time, but we sourced out writers, trained them ourselves, and created a live content marketplace where they grab content as it becomes available. Here is the blueprint if you choose to do this yourself: The Simple Guide to Bringing Content In-house. I would highly recommend it as someone who has been to hell and back with writers, and writing services.

    I am a full time writer and in my opinion Odesk and Elance are good options.

    Textbroker is just as worse in quality. Its usually a hit or miss ordeal. The best way to find a reliable writer is just elance or odesk until you can find a person your happy with.

      Textbroker.com Level 4 and Level 5 writers provide excellent content.

      I use them and also a couple of other writers. I'm more that happy paying $45 plus for 1000 plus word syndication quality articles.

      For me the benefits far outweigh the price I pay.

      I wouldn't touch article writers who charge $5 with a 40 foot pole.
