Cheap article writers who don't make mistakes? Is the best option hiring a proof reader?

You get what you pay for. If you want to spend 1buck per 100 words then expect some mistakes. People who don't make those mistakes charge more.

I totally agree. most writers that actually take pride in their work will charge what they are worth. know the value of what you are asking for.

I have prospects contact me wanting to know if I will research and write for next to nothing. It takes time, and work to do all that. have you even tried doing it youself? if so then you should realize how much work it takes to create good content.

I know people are always looking to save a buck, but you have to make a choice. Paying more will bring you in more in the long run.

Also, I guarantee you that most of those $5 articles spend maybe 5 minutes on research ( if that long). I wont say all of them are,(that would be impossible to prove) but I would say that most of them are just copying what they see on ezine articles, or by a quick google search. Hire a writer that will actually research and write original content.

Why pay more?

There are many other good writers here who will probably agree with this, and the marketers who have done it will see the truth as well.

A higher quality article will do more to bring you traffic than low quality. Also, they will convert better to sales.

Everything that you post online brands your business. Do you want to be branded for providing quality or crap?

I know by your post that you are looking for quality, but you have to be willing to pay for it. Personally, I know my grammar sucks big time. When I write, I go more for a conversational tone, but I still make sure it reads well. I also pay a proofreader to make sure that the major mistakes are covered. however, sometimes we will argue over grammar vs. conversation, but in the end, we wind up with some really great content. I always pass along the price for her work to my customers.

I have actually had several of my clients get mad at me for not charging enough, so why would I take less when there are plenty of people who see the value in my work?

Thanks for the informative replys! If i was to hire a proof reader, where would i get one from that's not ridiculously expensive?

I believe there are good article writers at that price many of whom are trying to gain a reputation. I think the minimum requirement of any person writing articles no matter what price they charge is ezine acceptance guaranteed.

If you get over 60 mistakes I think you should ask for a refund personally (What type of mistakes?). Many people think only first world counties are native English speaking you forget England conquered allot of countries, and some places $8 an hour is a great salary and 2 very good researched articles in an hour is not difficult.

I understand what you are saying nashelver, and I agree you can find them, but it is more rare. When i started freelancing I was doing $5 articles myself, and I got a great response. within a week I was up to $10/article and still building new clients.

a Good article can be researched and written in about an hour, a great article can be done in 2.

Personally, I don't make any guarantees of acceptance anywhere. I don't promise anything that is outside my control. People who guarantee rankings, traffic, acceptance or other things on sites that they have no control over are scamming people in my opinion.

I do let people know that I have a high acceptance rate. (EZA for example over 500 articles with only 1 rejection and that is just my own account.) however, I cannot promise that another site will do anything. i cannot even promise that they will be in business tomorrow, so how can I promise that they will accept anything?

Back to the OP now,

I would recommend searching on Google, check out Elance, or other freelancing sites, and look in the for hire section here to see if anyone is offering proofreading services.

Personally, my proofreader is an old friend of the family who I know and trust. She is a retired English teacher, so I know she is good at what she does.

I am hiring writers in the Philippines and I typically pay 300 per month or higher for a full time writer who can do at least 4 good articles of 500 words per day.

What do you consider a mistake? I'm a very good writer and I make mistakes! We need to have people proofread our work to correct mistakes. If you have two writers you can have them proof each other's work.

Anyway 300 per month is 14 bucks per day approximately. For 2000 words that is less than your budget.

The trick, as Alexa said, is in hiring and training them. The key to training is to have them think you simply won't proof read any of their work and that you expect them to triple check it. Then it comes back clean. Every so often read it, find any errors and remind them you need them to be extra careful. Be nice!

My writer is an American, college educated, and has books published under him.

What does he charge? $5 for 500 words.

Paying $5 for a 500 word article is going to leave you with content that's full of mistakes. Period. The people that charge this amount are either not very smart, not native English speakers, or think they can do 10-20 articles in a hour to make a ton of money at that price. Either way, you're going to end up with mistakes.

I'm one of the article writers who also offers editing/proofreading services. There are some people who would rather pay peanuts for the original content, then pay me to edit it - and they know they're going to get good results. For me, I spent years as the lead script editor in our newsroom, so I'm used to fixing bad writing quickly

i'm looking for SUPREME gas at $1/gallon... can anybody tell me where to get SUPREME gas at that price? thanks

I prefer to pay more and get an experience writer that can research and proof their work. It cost more upfront but it is worth it to me.

I know a company who offers $1/100 words article. If you could provide your contact details that would be great. However, you still need to be careful and ask for samples, client references and other requirements that you will need for your project.

There is someone who advertises in the Warrior Classifieds forum that offers $0.99 per hundred words. I have never used them and don't know how good they are, but they have been advertising there for a long time. I would guess that you can see by their responses that they are decent. Otherwise their ad would be gone by now.

Guys and gals - I'll say it again. The only way to get high quality writing for the price asked by the OP is to hire yourself a writer in a place such as the Philippines.

I've DEFINITELY been convinced that you can get very solid writing there for a bargain price. It's all relative to the average income in the country they live in.

I had a writer who, until he had to return to school, was cranking out SOLID content that was pretty much error free. He was young and willing to work for $300 per month.

It's all possible. But you need to recruit carefully.

I've been trying to poop rainbows!

Check out Fiverr, there are a lot of article writers there and the quality tends to be quite high for quite a cheap price.

Hi Tim

Are you still looking for a cheap, but good proofreader? I'm an experienced freelance editor/proofreader and native English speaker (born in the UK, now living in NZ) and may be able to help you.

I can't offer dirt cheap rates, but I can offer a very good rate with a guarantee of perfect copy.

Email me if you're interested and/or let me know what you think a good rate is for a 'cheap but good' proofreader
