    I've experienced this before. It depends my friend where you got your writers. There are some writers that needs intensive training before they get the right thing. You can get article writers from warrior for hire section or online jobs but remember that they can always fake what they are posting. What you actually need to do is to make them sets of sample articles. Then, you rate their ability to write. You can also go to that job's prefound workers - I believe, they undergo tests from the job site. Their scores are also posted.

    Hope this helps

    if you want good quality right from the start be willing to pay for it. then just target writers that speak the language natively and have writing experience

    if you want cheap labor be prepared to test many writers before picking one that can do the job and do it for the right price. you can eventually find one but you will probably have to hire and fire many before you find one that works for you.

    @JonAlfredsson - thanks for that site, i never seen it before but i will be checking it out

      I call BS on this one. Of course, the mere fact that I am not a native English speaker might have something to do with it.

      Nonetheless I believe I'm right. Now let me explain you why.

      Grammar plays the role of a threshold. Someone "good enough" (as in readable without major hiccups) can obtain (and should) the same fees as someone who finished Philology at the Oxford University. The differences are simply starting to be meaningless. From a point on, the differentiation occurs at the level of know-how. The requirements stiffen once you ask for originality, interesting angles and humor. And for these, my friend, you DO NOT need to be a native English speaker.

      I'm tired of hearing the same argument over and over again. If you're a native English speaker and that's your ONLY marketing advantage, there's a world of hurt coming your way.

      Just saying.

      Best regards,
      George

        In this scenario, you need a two-person team. The writer who can inject originality, interesting angles and humor, and an editor who can fix that writer's "let me explain you why" hiccups.

          Why are there so many bad article writers?

          One of the main reasons is this:

          There are so many (not necessarily all bad) marketers who are willing to pay those article writers "pennies-a-word" in order to help the marketer achieve his/her aim. This is not a bad thing - from the point of view of the successful marketer who has fine-tuned his machine in order to attain a ROI that makes it worth his while to hire the article writer. (I believe Jeremy Kelsall is one of those marketers who stresses this, and he explains it in more detail than I can here.)

          Other marketers then take it as a given that "pennies a word" is the "going rate" for "article writers". No; that is the going rate for content-produced-in-order-to-achieve-a-certain-aim-according-to-the-needs-of-certain-successful-marketers. This is not the same as the going rate for articles-written-by-quality-article-writers.*

          *Yes, I concede that some of those "pennies-a-word" article writers produce "quality" articles.

          So, yes, ultimately, it boils down to: "you get what you pay for" - and for some, what they get from their "pennies-a-word" writers satisfies their needs.

      Is the content on your site based on the same deal they are offering on their WSO ?

      Did you have to tidy it up like crazy or is what's on your site actually what you received?

      Did they really write FIFTY 500 word articles of that quality for $230 ?????

      The reason there are so many bad article writers is because whenever someone comes along and say what can I do to make money fast, a bunch of people always say write some articles. Unfortunately, most of these people can't write their way out of a paper bag.

      My recommendations are to not expect superb work for incredibly cheap prices and to test several writers. Even higher prices are not necessarily indicative of higher quality writing but the likelihood of getting better work is increased.

      I've used textbroker.com as well. I've had better luck with the upper tiers (4 or even 5). The content I've gotten from level 2 and 3 is ok but I've had to go back and correct some stuff and fill in areas that I thought were weak. I think though that with textbroker.com (and I'd assume with all article writing) that the more info you give the writer up front the better your result. Tell them exactly what you want. I've even started giving them the link to the products I'm promoting.

      It seems like English is not your first language. There are numerous errors in your post, so I imagine the same would be true of your writing. It is difficult to market writing skills if you are not proficient at English. I'm sure you'll find the perfect niche for you ... just not writing.

    Article outsourcing is trial and error at best. One thing to remember...what are you using the article for? Almost always, you're trying to warm up a reader, give them just enough congruent information that makes them want more...makes them want to click through. And never forget the all important resource box call to action.

    When I pay for articles, I explain in detail how I want the article structured, and exactly what the article is for. I usually provide some research resources for them. It doesn't matter if I paid $1 or $50 per article, if I've got to spend 20 minutes editing the darn thing...I should just do it myself. Whomever you hire to do your writing, better make sure they have a clear understanding of what you want, and you can easily communicate with them.

    Cheers!

    If you really want to know why this happens, see this post I wrote not long ago.

    Everyone's definition of "good" varies. Some people are willing to pay a decent wage, so they get top-notch article writers. Some aren't willing to pay much, so they will sacrifice a little quality and spice the articles up themselves. Some will just post junk content that they get for dirt-cheap and go for the quantity-over-quality method (which, for the record, I never advocate).

    If you have a clear idea of what you're able to pay, you can get a realistic idea of what to expect and adjust accordingly.

    The two chief reasons were mentioned above: Low pricing and the fact that so many people advise others to write when they need quick cash.

    I've been writing for over five years. I've seen countless "article writers" come and go... The good ones tend to stick around.

    I'm going to stop now before I get inappropriately self-promotional!

        Perhaps I misled you. The writers that I mentioned do not sell their work. They are writing for their own businesses. I was just trying to help define a good writer.

        Here's an idea...

        Since you have a knack for searching old threads (sorry, couldn't help it), go back and see what writers were on this forum 13 months ago and who are still here today, like Kay or Tina.

        Odds are that if a writer sucks, they won't be doing it for that long.

        Plus, any good writers should have a diverse set of testimonials over 13 months worth of selling them here.

        Good luck!

    why are there so many bad article writers?
    Because there are exactly as many "bad article buyers"

    When I was a newbie here I bought a few "articles" at discount price from an allegedly known warrior... and it was all spun garbage. But it was cheap.
    In real life I never go for the cheapest stuff, I prefer quality but we all make mistakes.
    The bad article writers live on our mistakes

    Since then I've learned which writers to trust and fortunately, that "warrior" disappeared from the forum.

    It's a challenge! But are we entirely rational in assuming that the craft really can/should transfer equally among any niche? Isn't it OUR responsbility to seek out writers who have proven they are up to our needs? E.g. do you really expect someone who has never been fishing to be up to writing for your niche about trout fishing? Or, if our niche is dog training, someone who only "likes" dogs - but not enough to have one?

    Or am I being totally unrealistic?

    There so many bad article writers because most IM Marketers don't know what good writing is. These people have thrown away millions of dollars, one cent per word at a time.

    Unfortunately, these same IM Marketers have also animated an army of lifeless writers around the world who have driven price and quality down. I use the word "writers" lightly in this context. People who don't even speak English as a first language fancy themselves as writers just because they can put words on a page.

    Sadly, many IM Marketers think they are doing themselves and these poor, desperate people a favor by paying pennies a word, but in reality they are both conspiring to litter the Internet with trash. Thankfully, Google's Feb 28 algorithm change is sending this trash to a place where no one will find it.

    Good writing is more than putting words on the screen. Good writing requires a knowledge of sales psychology and idiomatic language, at the very least, if people are interested in high conversions. You can't get that for a few cents per word. Some people say they can get that from cheap writers, but in all my years in IM I have never seen a case where that is true.

      ! But are we entirely rational in assuming that the craft really can/should transfer equally among any niche?
      That is a good point - and one I had to consider when I began writing for others. My choice was to specialize in niches where I have knowledge/interest. Thus, I work in 3-4 broad niches, all of which have many subniches.

      I can't remember when I've written 500 word articles as the jobs I get are usually 750-1200 words per article in batches of 10-30 articles per job. There are decent content writers who can write about cell phones or grass seed - but I avoid boredom by sticking with subjects that interest me.

      I'm not inexpensive yet have regular clients that use me for all their work and that works well for me, too.

      No im not going to give you his details, as he is my little prized possession.
      That's fine if you have enough work to keep the writer busy - but if he wants or needs more work, I hope you would recommend his work to a friend or two.

      Yep, this is the just of it. Combined with the fact that there are a ton of individuals who are willing to offer substandard product at ridiculously cheap prices to make people feel like they're getting a deal.

      Which in turn breeds the belief that paying $10 for a basic 500 word article written by an actual English speaker is highway robbery and it had better be a masterwork of the highest quality if you're going to charge such an "exorbitant" amount of money for it!

    Logan,

    I have a list of people that have paid to improve their writing. I've been considering making a platform for them to advertise because I've seen their work and it's top notch.

    Do you want me to PM you some names? These aren't your normal run of the mill writers but professionals, so probably not the cheapest.

    Let me know if you do.

    The problem is quite simply that the barrier to entry is really low. Any idiot who can string words together can call themselves a writer. Unfortunately, any idiot can also call themselves an Internet marketer and pretend that by paying $4 for an article they are getting high quality writing. It just isn't so. I charge $20 per article and even with that, all I can do is research online. I've done real interviews where I did the research myself, where I went to meet with people, arranged interviews and spent the time to do it right. This is the kind of truly top notch writing people want. Unfortunately, they aren't willing to pay the $200-$400 I have to charge since we're talking about days of work, not a half hour to an hour of work.

    Reality check: you want to pay next to nothing, you'll get crap writers. You want quality? You pay for it. Mind you, you may be able to find a happy medium. I've had clients who told me they thought I was really cheap because my writing is incredible and engaging. I've also had other clients who told me I'm expensive as hell because they can hire some guy who doesn't speak English properly to write something for a dollar.

    I've also had several people contact me through this forum and ask about my prices. What I find so amusing is that I have the prices listed, including a special price for warriors in a thread in the Warriors for Hire section. However, the moment they realize they can't get a pack of 50 articles for $50, they immediately cut off contact. This despite the fact that I publish my prices clearly and provide a substantial discount for warriors.

    Any photographers here? A parallel exists with photography because of the relatively cheap price of dSLRS, albeit subpar photography nets much more.

    God tell me about it. Someone just approached me for an article writing position and misspelled practically everything in their appeal. It's sad how people think because they can type that they can write.

      Why are there so many bad article writers?

      For one thing, until this latest Google update, there was a thriving market for bad articles. As long as the article met the required word count and included the desired keywords, it was "good enough for government work."

      Quantity was far more important than quality, and price more important than competence.

      Couple that with Tina's point about 'writing articles for quick cash', and you had the perfect storm of verbal manure.

      I've had folks ask me to look at their writing and offer feedback. Some had some talent and just needed practice. Some sent me samples I wouldn't let a second-grader turn in.

      Finding good people to outsource tasks to is like panning for gold - you have to wash away a lot of mud before you get the valuable stuff...

    Among many bad writers, you can find gold. But you have to sift through. This way, you don't have to pay so much, aka low rate writers. You also have to train them.

    For good writers, they are expensive. They have experience. But you will have to pay more as they are high rate writers.

    Method 1 requires you to invest a little of your time initially.

    Method 2 saves your time but is generally more expensive.

      As a professional writer I would say this: if you're looking to get a quality article done for 10 bucks, it just ain't going to happen.

      Sure, you may get lucky to find a college kid who is a good writer and looking to land some paying writing jobs, but that's really a needle in a haystack find.

      Most writers working for that price don't have a clue what good sales writing is all about.

      My 2 cents

      The saying "penny wise, pound foolish" comes to mind.

      I think it is also probably fair to say these employers are not very high on the ladder of success.

    I think there are MORE super-cheap buyers than bad writers, seriously.

    And, to be honest, the people who pay $0.50 per 100 words dont deserve better

    If you need quality articles to be written but you don't have the ability. Pay good price for it. If you are looking for the cheap options, you will get cheap articles that you might write yourself.

    Look for professional writers with a proven record of article writing in their native language.
    a good search on the internet should solve your problems and yes, you might have to test several writers before you get the right one for your needs and budget
