Article Marketing & Backlink Outsourcing?

Hey guys, I have TWO niche sites now that are each making me about $1000 a month.

I've realized now that writing articles, spinning them & submitting them isn't the best use of my time and I'm looking to start to outsource it.

The highest leverage activities for me now are keyword research, creating the niche sites, the sales copy, the product, etc...

Right now I outsource and buy Linkwheels for backlinks, but I'm looking to outsource the article writing for my blog, spinning, and submitting them.

Where is the best place to find someone to do this work for me?

What should I be willing to pay for this kind of service?

How much per article, etc...?

Can anyone experienced provide me with some advice? Thanks.

    If I were you, I wouldn't focus so much on the quantity of your articles, but, rather, the quality of them.

    I know there are some here who will disagree, but spun articles have never provided value for readers - and now that we're all living in a post-Panda world, they have even less value.

    If you're looking to build a ton of quick links by submitting spun articles to the directories, you may find it very difficult to get the directories to accept any of them. Remember, they are all trying to get back in Google's good graces after the Panda update. There are plenty of decent (non-spun) articles that are getting rejected by overly-cautious editors at article directories. If your stuff isn't completely up to par, you're wasting your time even trying to get it published.

    If you're going to outsource the work anyway, why not pay someone to write unique articles, instead of paying them to spin for you? Sure, it will cost you more, but to me, it seems well worth the added expense.

    And, of course, you are going to have to be willing to pay more than $5 or $10 an article to get what you need. Again, I'm sure someone will come in here talking about their "friend's-sister's-uncle's-wife" who has a great writer that only charges them $2 per article, and they never have to change a word of it. However, it doesn't work that way

    I suggest you take a look through the Warriors for Hire section and see if anyone jumps out at you.

      Thanks, I appreciate the post, but I disagree with you.

      I use the Best Spinner and get my articles 50% unique. So they ARE quality articles, about 500 words. Just re-phrased and recycling the already quality content.

      I post the original to my blog, then the spun ones to the article directories (all of which have had no problem getting approved).

      So my method clearly works, I'm just looking for someone to outsource it to.

        I would assume, though, that you don't just hit "spin" and then post them as is. The people I've spoken to that say they've had success with spinning do admit that they have to go back and tweak things before they can use it. For me, it's faster to rewrite something manually, or even write a new article altogether.

        That being said, if you're simply looking for an outsourcer to write/spin/etc, I would imagine that the Warriors for Hire section could help you find someone.

          Many people don't look at it this way. Anytime you out an article out there, you should want it to sound as good as possible. Spun articles work great for links, but what it a potential customer reads an article that doesn't make any sense to them? They are not going to click on any of the links anyway. You have to decide what you are striving for when you are doing your articles. Are you looking for traffic or links?

          Now the sites that you should try, craigslist is always loaded with a ton of people looking for articles, I have never used them myself but you could give them a try along with the freelance sites that were mentioned above.

            Find someone you can trust. It isn't just a content creation and submitting job. It will be someone that promotes your website netting you backlinks and possibly traffic. The way they promote will become a part of your image.
            Ow well. Maybe I'm overthinking things.

              Hiring the best writer suitable to your site ,takes time and a bit of trial and error.Its better to post job requirements that ask for experience in writing in similar niche rather than trusting newbies or under-priced writers.

    fiverr- for spinning and submitting

    I would check around on the forum here for the actual writing- although there are a handful of not bad writers on fiverr as well- but you must take a look at the ratings and feedback they have received.

    This is a good, cheap option if you are generally using the articles as sources of backlinks.

    My suggestion would be to head over to oDesk and hire someone for the job. - Some quick tips to ensure you are successfull:

    1. Be very clear in your instructions.
    2. Write a spam eliminating question in your job posting "enter the answer of 3+3 as the first character of your application" or something. (You'd be surprised how many bots will apply! - and how realistic they sound!)
    3. Split test at least four candidates before making your final decision. - Look for quality, deadline, cost.

    This is how I personally get the job done for under $10 each time while ensuring the highest level of quality.

    If spinning, try spinning your anchor text and even the capitalization of your anchor text:

    {B|b}est {D|d}og {T|t}reats

    With other related keywords too.

    Hope this helps.

    I guess there you can find too many writers who are offering services...

    For the first time in last many years I am seeing most of the writers starting threads to sell their articles etc. against the times when we had lot of buyers and the writers were selective to work.

    I can do this writing job for you. I cannot give you quantity as I am relatively new to the game but I can give you quality.

    You may try with odesk, fiverr. It has a lot of good person at there, but you need to discover them. It takes time and some money to try.
