Where to Find High Quality Blog Writers?

Hello,

I'm sure the answer will be 'yes', but have you tried Fiverr? Also, I'm slightly hesitant to recommend them, as I'm not sure if they'll be able to provide the quality it sounds like you're looking for, for $5!

For those types of blog posts, I'd consider paying at least $2/100 word.

The problem with writers which charge $1/100 word or even below $1 is that they want to write at least 2 500 word articles an hour. Because that's the only way how they can reach a higher hourly rate.

You should test a few writers to see who is capable of writing on your topics.

You could have a look on any of these sites:

www.constant-content.com, www.fiverr.com, www.textbroker.com, www.textbroker.co.uk, www.vworker.com, www.freelancer.com, www.iwriter.com, www.odesk.com, www.elance.com, www.guru.com, and The Content Authority.

You could also take a look in the 'Warriors for Hire' section.

Also start a thread in this part of the forum: 'Wanted - Members Looking To Hire You'.

I can recommend Laurence Wins if you want high quality. You won't get $5 500 word crap from him though. You will have to pay a little more but it's worth it.

He is a full time freelance writer working. Also an Aussie so no language issues.

Hope this helps m8

You can find them on any quality freelancing site. All you have to do is register with the site and post your job in the employers' section. Conduct interviews to choose the best one.

For higher quality articles I've used Elance before but it won't be cheap - you get what you pay for. Also, like others have said, try the Warriors For Hire section - you should be able to find some quality writers there but just bear in mind you will need to pay more for that kind of work.

Also, consider finding some blogs online that are related to yours and contacting the owners to see if they are interested in guest blog posts etc.

Hope that helps

Thanks

I would definitely recommend Warriors for Hire as well, In addition try Odesk too.

That is a difficult thing, to find, I have put in a few requests for a VA, or someone to just login and tiddy up a wordpress website from time to time and what I found was that most of the sellers, wanted full time work, they usually are based off shore, or in a place where labor is very cheap, (its not that bad, but I did not need that level of service) they wanted to work 12 hours per day, I wanted someone to login and do some basic work, for like one hour per day, or even less, its not rocket science after all.

One person actually wrote that they would provide a staff around the clock to update all my websites, and write articles 24 hours in 12 hour shifts at the low low introductory price of just $5000.00 per month, two months payment in advance.

Ok, cant blame a guy for dreaming, but over all its really difficult to find someone and keep in mind you need someone that you can trust.

I would be interested in learning how your quest to find a provider, I know there are some quest blogging networks, but many of them think a lot more of their abilities than they should also a few "Fake" offers to pay big blogging fees makes it appear that there is big money on writing blog posts when in reality its not even a real offer, so beware of the trickery that can cause you grief.

Like everyone else is probably going to say, Fiverr is a good place to start. Occasionally you can also find that diamond in the rough at freelancer.com also. I also like Guru and ODesk

I've had success with Guru in the past. They seem to have a higher degree of US writers there. I find that the best writers come from the market they are living in, but aren't normally the cheapest.

Sent you a PM. I have done blog writing as a ghost writer for several clients.

Why don't you solicit guest posts?

The quality of a guest post is likely to be higher than that of a Fiverr article. Good Fiverr writers wise up pretty quickly.

Another blog technique is to use someone else's video in your niche, link back to their site, and get a Fiverr seller to transcribe the video for you. Instant article.

we have had a lot of success with elance. But you need to give them small jobs first before you go all out.

We were burnt out of about 2k before I was shown how to properly outsource. But it is the best thing we have done for our business.

I've actually found some good writers on Craigslist. Be careful though because you will find people who want to be paid upfront and then never write a word for you. This goes both ways. These people who want to be paid upfront are not always scammers, but people who are afraid to be scammed themselves. You could also try places like Odesk, guru, etc. Remember you get what you pay for.
