What is your favorite place to outsource article writing?

by x3xsolxdierx3x

For awhile now, I've opted to keep all my article writing 'home-grown', in-house. Unfortunately, with so many ideas for articles, and only limited time, I've been finding that being one person can be really quite limiting. Do you all have a favorite place/site to outsource article writing online? Why?

    I use Craigslist Philippines. I ask for samples and research the samples to make sure they didn't just steal it from someone else. Then I have them write one article. I check it with Copyscape. If everything looks good, I'll keep using them...

      Same here! And they offer a very affordable prices. I like the outcome of their work and you can save your money for not paying too much unlike others.

    I've relied on GetAFreelancer for everything and they've never let me down....Whenever I've posted a project, I get plenty of responses from people with skills all across the spectrum....And that's important too because it's not always about getting the cheapest bid but finding quality talent and I've always been pleased with the freelancers on there.

    I hire writers in the Philippines using OnlineJobs.ph.

    You need a membership to ReplaceMyself to get access to that site for free. See my sig. Craigslist manilla is also a definite free option.

      That's my problem! You've nailed it perfectly. Also asked a good question I've been having problems with too.

      That does sound like a dire situation (but funny)

    Why not try to outsource in an outsourcing firm with a proven track record of dependability and proficiency in offering business consultancy. Those sites mentioned above are all freelancer sites where in staff are working from home. I suggest to hire an employee from an outsourcing companies, staffs are well-trained and managed by a supervisor to ensure the quality and productivity of work.

      hmmm... blatant plug for your company?
      Have you found that freelance work tends to be of lower quality than that of someone who is part of a larger firm?

    I have used TextBroker.com in the past for article writing and results were not that bad... You may test them too.

    I do not out source articles but I write articles for my clients. I got most of writing work from forums like DP and this one. Other than that most of people tries to get some local person also.

    I have found college students to be a great source. They are hard working, native English speakers, and cheap.

      There's a big difference between writing great term papers and writing SEO content, though. SEO content writing is its own ball of wax, full of unique guidelines and nuances that the writer really needs to understand. Otherwise, your content doesn't do everything that it should.

      x3xsolxdierx3x - PM me if you're still looking for a writer. I can definitely help you out. I've also got a thread in the Warriors for Hire section that you can see here.

        I prefer having a few writers on instant message, who can offer articles at a fast and speedy rate. I use to use others but I find it's better to outsource through a writing company itself.

    I use oDesk and I like the system. It is relatively easy to find people there. However, you should always test them before you hire to long term.

    Article writing is something that I've never outsourced but my brother has used odesk before to find outsourcers. A couple weeks back, we were talking about that and he gets 400 word articles written for just a couple of bucks each. Orders 10 articles at a time. It seemed like he's never had any complaints about providers on Odesk dot com.
