Outsourcing Content - Oh Woe is Me (Lol kidding).

I'm the only bloke here who has used IWriter? I must be hallucinating kittens O_o

Hey Tor86, I've Re-opened my writing service for a limited time. Offering a special rate here on this forum, check my signature below if you're interested.

Personally I've had good experiences hiring from oDesk.com. Just make sure you ask the right questions in the interview stage. And ask for work samples and references. I actually wrote an article about hiring on oDesk, you can read it here Get a Freelancer- 13 oDesk Hiring Tips.

i think they are new....you should have more reviews first before you hire them...

I am a good content writer so pm me if you want to discuss rates and whether we can work together.

Here's another site where you can hire good writers - BestJobs.ph

However, make sure you screen the applicants thoroughly and do some
tests before you hire anybody.

I don't recommend Iwriter at all. I have had a few bad experiences there and I prefer to use writers from the Warrior Forum. Being someone that is on both sides of the outsourcing I know what I am getting in the Forum and there is a reputation that can be found within the posts on the Warrior for Hire ads. I would recommend finding a good writer here in the forum.

Hi Tor86 - did you get any samples from those writers before you hired them?

I highly recommend doing this no matter who you use, it's a simple thing to do but I think many people miss it and dive head first.

You can find quality people here, they're not the cheapest but they generally produce the best results.

I've not tried these people before but they do specialise in writing content.
Freelance writing, freelance writer, ghost writer

I've used oDesk for writers with mixed results.

Another place you could go are forums in the niche you're writing content for. What you could do is approach the most active people there and ask them if they would be interested in writing for you.

You'll find the people who write for you from forums already know the subject inside and out. They'll probably also write with more passion as it's a subject close their hearts. They might even be flattered to have been contacted by you to write for your website!

I would always hire a native English speaker, no matter where I went and get samples first (except from the forums where you read their posts as samples of their work).

I hope this helps.

Well, you get what you pay for, so for $2.00 an article, you're not going to get much of anything.

Honestly, you're better off using a freelancer here or from a freelancing site.

There are many services provided in this warriorforum. I personally uses SEO Generals and btw its not my aff link. I'm just one happy customer! I have been using their services for quite a while now and I'm very satisfied! Fast turn around and great content.

I use odesk, and never had complaints

Hey,

I've personally not used IWriter, but from the reviews here doesn't sound too appealing... :S

However, here are some GOOD places that I've sourced writers from before:

ODesk.com - as mentioned earlier.
OnlineJobs.ph - this is a Outsourcing Company based out in the Philippines.
Craiglist - it's always worth a look, I'm always browsing on there and have found some good help from there before.

NOTE: To always screen your writers before, asking for references, examples of their work and make sure they meet the grade before you take them on.

Now, I've saved the best till last... I have a close friend of mine who is a very good experienced writer with competitive rates, so if you're interested - PM me and I'll hook it up?

Hope this helps,

Colin
