Outsourcing - How to use it well?

Hello warriors.

An internet business requires time, and due to a big change in my life I don't and won't have much of it in the following years. Since most of my visitors and backlinks come from articles, I try to write as many as I can when I have internet access, but that sums up to about 2-3 per week or less.

For this reason, I decided to outsource this work. I have enough money to order hundreds of articles, but I'll start with $50 and move on from there.

My question is - what is the best thing to do with the articles? Let's say I can get 5-10 decent articles at this price, where should I put them? My current article strategy is submitting to EZA, and when it's approved I put it on my site and digg it. What do you recommend to do with the outsourced ones?

Also, where do you recommend to submit my outsource job? elance.com and odesk.com seem good to me, I just want to hear your opinion.

Thank you very much,
nadavs

    Um....you should take half of your articles and FIRST put them on YOUR site.
    Then take the other half and submit them to EA.

    But you shouldn't do any of that until you've decided on what keyword(s) you're targeting, and that your page will convert for those keywords.

    You need to learn how to to do keyword research before you can do an effective SEO campaign. There's a good $7 ebook on the topic in the WSO section.

    Elance is hit or miss and so are all those sites. You MUST first hire for a small job and see how it goes before you hire for a big one.

    Thanks for the tips guys.

    jtjackson - I don't want to outsource submission right now since it'll eat some of the money. I have enough time to submit the articles, but not write them. When I see that it brings money, I'll pay for submission.

    Mike - what do you mean by first putting them on my site? What do I do later? Submit them to EZA? Also, when I put an article on my site, what should I do with it? Digg, Stumble, etc.? What are your recommendations?

    Thank you again, guys.
