I've been trying to outsource more of my articles since I simply do not have the time to write what I need myself. However, I've had trouble finding good writers that will not break the bank.

I've kind of picky about quality and have found every service that uses writers overseas almost total trash so far. I realize now I have to pay more for native speakers but still need to keep costs under control.

Tried Freelancer but that seems to be mostly overseas writers who are not very good. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    I think you just have to keep trying. Saying that all overseas writers suck is painting a pretty broad brush.

    I stumbled across a very good one in the Philippines but have her going full tilt right now with my stuff.

    Try places like Elance where you can reviews of past projects they have done.

    Yes, I know there are some good ones out there overseas. They are obviously hard to find though. It's a bummer you beat me to the punch on that one from the Philippines!

    I write quality unique content. It costs a bit more than overseas writers, but I guarantee my work. Check out my samples and resume at the links below. (I hope it is ok to post this self-serving post, if not please forgive me.)
    Thanks, Diane

      Use elance. Try the provider:
      Visualise Media

      About $9-14 per 500-600 words depending on volume. Connor the head guy is through and through a great guy and makes sure you are happy. I ordered about 300 articles. Done perfectly by Brits. No crap. My total search engine referrals are up about 60%. I couldn't be happier.

    I totally get where you are coming from. It's not easy. Article writing takes time from other parts of the business, and article outsourcing is not a quick fix because of the overhead trying to manage the process and find good writers.

    But it does get easier as you connect with the right people who can offer acceptable prices. I think the suggestions above are all good and worth trying.

    Don't forget the Warriors For Hire section right here at WF. Read through the ads and look for native English writers. Preferably, they should have been in business for at least a few months and have a number of good reviews. Always start with a small order, perhaps 1 - 5 articles to test that they are reliable. Especially if they require payment upfront.

    Hope this helps. Best wishes!

    I think you may search for the quality articles in freelancing sites like odesk or freelancer.I also recommend you to hire native speakers to write article.

    You should need to pay above $8 for a quality written article.

    Here's a tip, go to oDesk, post a DETAILED job post outlining everything you require. include a spam question like "to avoid spam, put the answer of 3+3 in the first line of your application" - You will be surprised but only 20% of people do this. Meaning the rest didn't read the job description, even though their applications LOOK legitimate.

    Hire 4 of your favourite writers and explain to them that they have a 1-article trial. Give them all the same instructions, and evaluate them on price, turnaround-time, quality, etc. Pick the best, thank the rest..

    Sorry mate, but it's the only way to get quality writers for cheap. I have tried every other method.

    Outsourcing of Article is done to reduce costs, save time and at the same time use specialist’s assistance to do a particular job. This way a businessman can focus on his prime objectives with an outsourcing company taking care of the rest.
