How I Get Articles Written For $2.00 Each

4 replies
Hey Warriors,

No super secret tips here just some techniques I use to have articles written on the cheap. I use rentacoder or getafreelancer since elance seems to attract much higher prices.

1. Buy In Bulk - If you already know a niche is profitable dont buy 3 or 4 articles at a time, buy 50 at a time. Only do this with proven writers. If you buy 50 on a first timer and theyre all crap it'll take you more time than its worth in editting.

2. Promise more work - In your job description say something like 'if you do a good job on these for a fair price there will be lots more work coming your way' - be honorable, if they do good job on the cheap remember them for next time.

3. Give them the titles - I can bang 50 titles out in a few minutes easily. Doing this will give them a helping hand on what to write about

4. Do basic research for them - Find a top author on your niche in ezinearticles and give them the link to her/his profile page.

5. Try different writers - If you have a writer who charges you $8 an article keep using them by all means but keep trying different people. You might find a great writer just starting out who doesn't realise the value of their work yet.

Anyway, these tips wont change the world and might be plain logic to some of you but they really help me to keep the cost of my articles down.

    Great tips!

    I've had luck with this sort of method too. You get them done that cheap and can kind of just kick back for a while and have all of your content for a month for about a hundred bucks...doesn't get any better

    Cool man; have you noticed any one site being better to outsource to than the others for articles?

    I have outsourced to odesk.com for some VA stuff but I am interested to know if any one service is better known for articles or if they are all the same.

      Personally I've had the best experience on rentacoder.com . No doubt just as many people will recommend elance.com and getafreelancer.com . If I find a good writer on any of those sites i'll use them, it just so happens ive found the best one on RAC.

      You're right! odesk.com is good for VA stuff, I haven't tried outsourcing any article writing over there.

    Hi Mike,

    Another thing I did is to reward writers if the articles they wrote are exceptionally well. And normally it is 10% more pay for them.

    And the festive season is coming, it will be good to surprise them with another gift which can be sending them money.

    These really motivate my writers to write very well for me and such rewards retain them by my side all these years.

    My 2 cents,
    John
