Does Anyone Hire Out People to Write and Submit Blogs for Them?

12 replies
I have a good blog that gets me some pretty good traffic and plan on not just getting a writer to write articles for me, but to have someone submit my blog while embedding my keywords, placing my pictures in the blog for me, and anything else needed to optimize the blog.

Does anyone have an idea how much I should pay someone to do this. I was either thinking about finding someone on fiverr to do the submission for me and use my primary writer to pass the article onto my article submitter.

Any thoughts?

    waste of money, no one loves your blog as you do so quality will not be the same. I only use other peoples help if I do not have time to do it my self. Unless you can offer really good wages quality will be suffering.

    Yup, unless you are ready to hire a professional, you will see issues here and there. I would hire a virtual assistant on oDesk, and then train him before I hand over my blog. The last time I hired someone, it was like $3 per hour, and that fellow was good. Again, unless you are busy, and can't manage things on your own, its not advisable to hire cheap labor. If you hire them, then properly train them, to make sure they are able to take care.

    how about inviting your fellow blog friend to do guest blogging for you. build relation with them, ask them nicely and tell them the benefit of guest blogging to them. If you do blog walking, this task will be a lot easier.

    There are many available to write and publish articles for you. However, you can have a hard time finding people who write quality articles, express their opinions, or to have a good knowledge about the topic. There are many people with this qualities, but 99% of them have started their own blog.

    If you are writing about "general" stuff that all people seem to know, it will be easy to find someone. I suggest you to get a professional writer, specialized in your topic, pay him what he wants. Then find a virtual assistant to post the content, images, submit it to social networks, etc.

    From my personal experience. I have tried to find the right guys for 2 of my blogs. I was unable to do this because they were technical. I had a guy that I tried to learn him for 2 years. He started to write better, but not to that point to make me proud of the articles written. It is just content added almost every day, and this is it. I found a guy once who wrote his own stuff, related to my topic, but with passion. He charged high, he worthed but he was not flexible to write what I wanted too.

    Anyway, better search other blogs for articles and authors that you like and propose them to write for your blog too. It will be better if you find hired authors, and not owner-authors. They will both charge you a lot 10-20$ for every article of 300-500 words, but it can worth.

      Thanks and I do understand, but my writer is pretty good at what she does and I know the quality of her work is good. She does deserve more, but I cannot afford to spend any more than I can to get the job done.

      Anyway many in this discussion say it depends on the quality it seems, and the quality is worth it in my opinion.

    Absolutely true, if it's worth the time, why not outsource it!
    I've always outsourced writing and submitting tasks. My Article Submitter charged me $300/month for article submitting tasks.

    I just wanna tell you that most of the links in the signature are trash and/or a trap to make you pay!

    Agree with lady M, guest blogging save my time to write a new article. You can also keep the extra time to do something else, probably prepare for a high quality post for next week. This way, you can keep the quality of your blog post because you can edit the bad part of the guest post. Good luck with the blog.

    I think you should hire a writer and then hire someone to optimize the posts. Just make sure that your writer knows exactly what you need - make the writer follow a template if need be. The standard price for decent articles is around 2-3$ for 100 words.

    Thanks for the comments guys, I really do believe it is not that hard to train a writer to optimize my blog. I already know how to do it myself, but will probably have an ebook written or video created to train my writer to do it. My writer is out of europe, but very good at making quality content. I say to save the trouble, I will only use my primary writer to write the article and submit it so I do not have to hassle using two people.

  • I think a virtual assistant would be the best solution to your problem. You just need to look for someone who is a good writer to begin with, then train them to optimize, search for keywords, and submit to article directories.
