Best Places To Get High Quality Articles Written Cheap

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was running my first SEO campaign, well I did it, and ranked the site number two for skin whitening products, which has over 2000 exact match searches a month, as well as various other phrases like skin whitening tips, how to get white skin, how to make your skin lighter, how to make skin white, etc, etc.

I did it for about 1000 dollars over the last six months, and I've now gotten a second SEO campaign paying over three times the amount, which is a competitor, also trying to sell skin whitening products.

I am trying to rank them for slightly different phrases, so there's no real conflict of interest there.

My question is, with all this work, where do I find someone I trust enough to take over my job of writing these 500 word original articles?

They have to be done in good English, with a good knowledge of the product, of SEO, and in good quality sales copy that actually sells the product or encourages click throughs.

If it isn't something I would be happy to show to the client myself, as if I did it, I can't show it to the client. I'm not trying to create spam pages here, so who does really good work for a dollar or two per 100 words or so? Anyone?

    @rowanman28 - congrats on your successes, and many more!

    Don't even bother with sites like iWriter if you're looking for quality articles. I actually resorted to hiring 2 writers full time, but I did find a pretty good service recently. I had them write 6 articles for me, and they were all very decent. They're also SEO-conscious so I use them now to leverage the time of my employed writers. They're also very chealpy priced for good quality articles.

    EDIT: DO NOT use these guys! After Rowanman28 made a few good points I double checked ALL the articles I got from them, and the quality varies from great to completely abysmal! Oh well...

    I checked out the site, but one thing it didn't say anywhere was that these were original articles that passed Copyscape, and that they weren't spun. The price seems to suggest that there is something going on there that doesn't quite add up for how much an Australian or American would want to be paid to write original stuff.

    Two things. First, I would never hire a writer that claims to write SEO optimized articles or is bragging about knowing about SEO. Their writing is always crap. I would actually prefer if they knew nothing or very little about SEO. That's my job, not theirs.

    Second, you are probably not going to find high quality articles for $1 or $2 per 100 words. Bump it up to at least $8-10 per 100 words, and you might find what you are looking for.

      Ridiculous Mike. My Indian writes an article for $4 per 800 words and they are the best articles I've ever had in my life (better than $15 articles). Just find somebody who wants a long-term client and a stable income.

      Just got back from a #BrightonSEO. I was given room 404 in the hotel I stayed at. Couldn’t find it anywhere!

        Ice,

        I'm sure you would agree though that your situation is the exception, not the rule.

          Indeed, but my advice is valuable. Stop trying to go for commercial writers (businesses). Go through freelancers till you find one that's sufficient. From there, drop his prices and offer him 10+ articles/day. He's happy making a full-time living sitting on his chair, and I'm happy with the cheap rates.

    Yeah, I mean me personally in Australia, I'm pretty happy to be earning close to fifty dollars a day now cash in hand from the internet, even if I have to work pretty hard to get it, because I'm in a good situation and get other money, and with a bit more residual income coming in or fast work, I'll be doing quite well in a year or two. I started writing articles for one cent a day four years ago, and that's no joke.

    Much depends on the price you're looking to pay and the purpose of the articles but I've found the articles written by GetArticlesDone to be reasonable quality, reasonable price.

    I've used services like iwriter in the past with very mixed results. Overall, not worth the time it takes to get a decent article.

    I recently found a freelancer on odesk who is fantastic. Even if you just need an occasional article written I'd still go that route. There are lots of people there who can write very well and are also very affordable.
