Ghost Writer

Saidar · 06-08-2009, 05:18 PM

Hello warriors,

I'm looking for a quality ghost writer, I'm going to start outsourcing my article writing, I'm tired if doing it myself!

Who do you use and how do they perform?

Thanks

What you may want to do if you aren't getting any takers here is try elance - you can get ALL KINDS of stuff done for cheap -

My best advice is to not go cheap. I've had my own bad experiences with articles that were cheaply acquired and also completely useless. Had so many IM friends also complaining about substandard writing.

Sorry but I have not had one good experience with Elance or any other cheap writing service. I'm not saying it's impossible, but finding anyone that can write to convert and engage your readers usually doesn't happen with people struggling at the bottom of the barrel. If you do find someone like that, hang on to them for dear life

You'd do a lot better to find a deal here on the forum than Elance or those other sites.

Having said that, if all you're after is bulk or to fill up pages, I'm sure a 6.00 article can do the trick. But mark my words, once your site ages and you start getting lots of visitors you will be deleting most of that work because it quickly becomes embarrassing to your site authority. Best to start with the best IMO, because after all, you get what you pay for. I'm just sayin.

Article marketing/ writing is a foundation of our industry, why build that foundation on cardboard when it makes more sense to lay steel and reinforced concrete?

Most good writers will give you a few samples before taking any cash.

I was lucky, I found a great writer - I literally stumbled across her via stumble upon!

Hi,

You can get reasonably priced @ getafreelancer

Here is how

1) Post a project with clear instructions, This should normally be a small project.
2) Once you have good number of bids,
a) Discard all the bids without reviews,
b) Discard top 2 to 3 bids which are not fitting your budget.
c) Some bidders may not have posted samples ask for it, if they do not
provide discard them, basically anyone who can not provide the sample
can not be considered.
3) Select 3 potential writers whose samples looks good. Give them same work, if needed crate project for individual writers and escrow funds. Do not pay them till you have work back.

Once they are back with work, See which one fits your requirement in terms of quality, time frame and communication when needed. Ensure you make payment to all of them.

Once you have winner, Work extensively with the writer. keep him/her busy like hell.

This is how i have found couple of writers who writes great articles @$ 5 to 8 per articles.

Hope it helps, Now do not PM me for the details of the writers i work with,
i will not be sharing with anyone.

3) Now carefully review the samples of remaining bids, you wil lhave fair enough idea about their writing
