What resources for high quality and original articles?

In the freelancer sites there are a lot of quality people who can deliver you daily great articles which are well researched and not spun or copy/paste. There are also a lot of junk "writers" who presents themselves as original authors, but for sure you should try some of them before getting a long term relation with an author. 5 articles a week is not much for an experienced author.

I highly recommend elance over odesk. My strategy with elance is I post a job for writing 5 x 500 word articles on the subject. Then you post job for several days to get bids. You will see a wide range in the prices you get for bids. I end up picking anywhere from 5 to 10 of the people that bid. That allows me to judge the quality of all the writers I select and then know which ones are good enough to turn to in the future when you need more writing done. By selecting multiple writers you can spread the cost out for example you can select someone bidding $50 and someone bidding $20 and then average out to $35 for work completed. You will know if the $50 is worth it or overrated or did you find a gem that writes well for $20. Plus it gives you enough articles for your website to drip feed in for several months.

I use InstantArticleWizard to do the research. You just enter your keywords, then select where you want it to search. It brings back the information which you can then base your articles on.

elance is good. Also try contacting some local university students. Many of them can write great articles and you can pay them very little.

For topic ideas I like to look at Google Alerts, Google News, and sometimes trending topics for ideas.

I look at recently published books (and magazines, if available) on the subject for ideas and suggestions. I'm always trying to be inspired by offline information and approaches, because there's little point in giving readers only information they can already find elsewhere online.

I'm sure it will. I've never done more than three posts per month (per niche), myself, and wouldn't dream of trying to produce five posts per week. Article marketing isn't about how many articles you have: it's about who reads them (i.e. the steps you take to get them widely published in front of the already-targeted traffic you want to attract to your own site - they're not going to do you much good being published only on your own site: the only traffic they're really likely to attract that way is some eventual search-engine traffic, and you surely wouldn't want to try to build your business just on that?!).

Google. That's about it.

If it's on a technical topic, I crack open Google Scholar for in depth research on a range of topic areas.

Forums are a real good source of questions you might want to answer on your blog.
Believe it or not - looking at the search terms that brought people to your blog sometimes provides a key to further material subjects. I've gotten several ideas for articles from what the exact search term was that brought the people to my blog. They are often just off of the main topic to be instructive. Yahoo "ask" can also provide good leads for material. So can text books that have "quizes" or summaries at the end of chapters.

Material is easier to come by if your niche isn't really narrow and restrictive, but if it is, start looking at other niches that are closely related and can be tied in to write about. As an example - my main website is about rockhounding (rock and gem hunting), yet you'll find info on archaeology, paleontology, treasure hunting, geology, natural disasters, and astronomy, too, because rockhounds usually have an interest in other natural sciences. If you know your subject and market well, you can find those areas of interest pretty easily. If not, go and find out your site rank on something like Alexa - it often tells you what other sites people who viewed that one are interested in.

If you do all the research and ideas still come slow, maybe you need to slow down and write one or two articles fewer each week.

Terra and Sylvia are spot on if you actually need the knowledge of the field. If I need info, I also use the library, and not just when I need to write about something. If you already have solid knowledge of your niche and just need ideas about WHAT to write, online will serve you just fine. Libraries are a good idea for you to hit now and again just to solidify your own knowledge base of your niche anyway. You can't ever know too much about your own business field.

Google is an amazing tool IF you use it properly.
You can find out just about anything you want to know but you have to ask the right questions. I use it for most of my article material but I also have a large collection of ebooks on different topics that are often handy.

If I'm not familiar with the subject matter, or I need to brush up on it, I go into information overload. I start off by doing a lot of online reading, to get a feel for what's out there. Then I'll often use a keyword tool to get an idea of what people are searching for. Often I find ideas, or specific niches, that I wouldn't have otherwise searched for.
After that, I will often hit up my local bookstore, to see if there's a book available on the subject. I like the local Barnes & Noble because they have a large bargain book section, and I can sometimes find what I need there. If the book isn't too expensive, I will pick it up. Same goes for magazines, although they're more expensive.
If the bookstore doesn't have what I want, doesn't have enough of what I want, or I don't want to buy the book, I hit up the library. Sometimes I do it even if I have what I need. They often have magazines, which saves me some money.
Sometimes I also go and look into PLR. Every PLR writer is different, and has a different spin on how they write on topics. There are a number of potential topics within the PLR, without even using it.

If you're writing that many posts a week, you might have to decide whether you want posts containing information not found anywhere else, or a mix of new material, and material available elsewhere.
One thing I tend to do, when I'm writing on a topic, is make a list of potential specific topics. For example, right now I'm reading a book on beekeeping, and there's a whole chapter devoted to beginner's gear (hood, gloves, smoker etc). If I was writing beekeeping articles, I'd make a list of all of these things, and any specifics associated with them (zip on hood, hood attached to helmet, hood with visor, etc). Then, I'd go back and write up a paragraph or two about each item. My list might have 30 items on it, so I'd write 30 paragraphs.
Then, when I wanted to create articles, I'd take the paragraphs I'd already written, and group them according to the articles I wanted to write. I might have a 3 essential tools for the newbie beekeeper article, and then one that's picking the best hood for the beginner beekeeper. I'd already have the bulk of the articles fleshed out with the paragraphs I'd written, so I could edit them to make them flow, and write the appropriate intro and ending to my article.
Some of the paragraphs can be reused, like mentioning a hood in the beginner's article, and then mentioning what a hood is in a "pick the best hood" style article, but I'd edit what I wrote so it wasn't the same thing again. Readers that show up and start devouring your article information are going to notice if you use the same paragraph over and over again.
I haven't tried to write 5 articles a week on the same topic, week after week, so I don't know if this will help you. You might want to consider supplement your articles with PLR and freelance writers, especially if the topic starts to get old.

I would recommend Elance. You can get quality articles at very economical price. They are having huge database of quality article writers.

What has helped me write articles is reading books, magazine articles on your subject and listening to audio or video recording.

The way to write dramatically, what hollywood writers do to keep the suspense is what you should do too. Introduce the problem, make it complex, and then drill it all down to ONE solution. Give the audience that one solution as a relief to the stress you've caused them by describing the problem. This will make your writing much more engaging.

For HQ articles I`d advise you to hire a writer. It's very hard to write something good on a subject even if you know it well.

If you really want the articles to be in high quality, better hire a professional article writer. These writers can be found here on the Warrior Forum (under Warriors For Hire). Look at their offers, prices and customer feedback before committing with that professional writer.

My brain.

The more of an expert that you become in a niche, and the more you learn (intensely) about a given topic... the easier creating high quality and original articles will become. I understand that some niches online will be more or less full of info (or less of info), but in a situation like this, simply repurpose your content and distribute them in certain areas online.

If this isn't a feasible solution for you.... go and hire a freelance writer. Make sure they're good though.

The more you understand the easier it will be to write :-)

I think you have word problem. I mean those who have not a stock of words they can face these kind of problem. The same thing was happened to me. When I started my first job as a content writer I have faced this kind of tough situations then I started to read lots of books, news papers etc.

One thing always keeps on your mind that a good article always needs a good research. You will get a huge of resources and information if you complete several Google researches. Anyone can put just about anything on the internet. And that's why it's so essential for you to get your information from reliable resources only.

For an example you can go with WebMD.com, which are known for providing high-quality information. Adhere to significant information websites, like major newspapers or other media websites like CNN.com. You need to make sure your details are precise by exploring a wide range of reliable resources. However, you also need to make sure that any content you make is absolutely unique.

I would suggest a mainstream writer Natasha Nixon. You can look her up, just Google. She´s not alone and has a huge team of native writers behind her.

Have used her regularly and haven´t been disappointed. Don´t know how she can keep up with all the orders though, but for me she has never missed a deadline.
