Hi, Thanks. Glad you like iWriter. To respond to your comment about a price change... The minimum price is still $2.00 for an article if you use the "standard option". It hasn't changed. It sounds like you selected the premium or the elite option (which is actually what I would recommend doing). Brad |

Hello Brad, I have just joined seolinkvine few days back. I feel the automated system only works a few hours a day. My Article stats(updates about my articles) changes only once in a day. It becomes static the whole day. It only changes the next day. I feel something is not right. Please help, this is really urgent. Thank you |

Yes Brad you're right. My glitch, paramedics will have to take my foot out of my mouth now I like the site so far. One article finished, probably in 4-5 hours since it was requested. No such luck with second one so far but that one is more difficult to write I guess.. Gonna make new order soon there again. Thanx |

Hi Brad, I'll sign up as it seems a good alternative for currently available services. Are they write product reviews with in-depth research? |

Hi, sure. It really depends on who writes your article. There are thousands of writers. Some great, some good, some average, and some bad. If bad, you can reject and someone else will write it. Be VERY descriptive in your special instructions so you get what you want.

I've ordered 5 articles through iWriter so far and have been very pleased! Maybe I've just been lucky, but each article was written and sent back to me within a few hours and the quality was great, especially for the price. The spin tag versions kind of vary in terms of quality, but that's fine. I always choose the option for the best writers for every article and I'm very clear in my "special instructions" of exactly what I want. So, if you're not getting quality articles make sure you at least do those two things. Great service! Thanks Brad! |

I got my first article back and wanted to say I was disappointed. The article sounded like it had been written by a five year old. Brad you really need to keep control of the quality of writes you use, I know you can reject but I don't have time to be messing about rejecting then having to wait for some one else to write it.

HI Brad I did as you suggested and the second article was perfect. As to your comment about my post, that's exactly why I pay someone else to do. I must say I didn't expect to be ridiculed by you for my bad English, not a good way to talk to your customers as you never know who they are. |

Just FYI - I found iWriter via word of mouth, not from this thread initially.. I've been using it for about a week. It' s a nice simple interface, and you cant really beat it for $3 an article. Sure, I've had to reject several articles, but I also have the option to ignore that writer in the future, which is nice. The spin tags are also great, though I sometimes have to clean those up after the fact so that my spun version still makes sense, but it still beats having to run the entire article through a spinning software. Just my 2 cents. |

| Hey Derek, you can order at iwriter.com. When you do, if you want the free eBook I'm giving away with this WSO, please submit a ticket and we'll send you over the eBook. That is what makes this a WSO, since the prices on iwriter are already so low. Thanks

Not to bag on the article offer, but I just picked up an article at Fiverr for 5 bucks last week. Not to mention, the article was 600 words and well-written. I guess its a good offer you have if the article quality is exceptional.

Hi drunkenmonkey, I looked up the ticket and it looks like it was responded to in 2 hours from the time you submitted it. You then send your paypal transaction ID as requested and then the weekend hit. Our office is open mon-fri 8am-5pm ET. I'm sorry that it took longer to get back to you. Was a combination of bad timing and bad luck. I've just sent payment to you now. Sorry. Brad |

Just wanted to say I have been using iwriter for the last couple of months and love it! You do have to either pay more for top writers or give a very specific description of what you want or don't want in your article for "submit to all writers", you can always reject an article that does not meet the requirements/standards you set. I usually use top writers where quality is essential, and all writers when I am willing to take a gamble on the quality (FYI, I have had $2 articles written that were great!). I have had close to 60 articles written so far and have rejected 11, I have not had to reject as many since I started being more specific in my instructions (and letting them know I will not accept crappy spun content). Brad, one thing i would love to see is way to "favorite" writers that have done a good job for me, so that i could easily add all my favorite writers to a project. Overall its a great service, especially when i want articles in a hurry (which is always, lol) Thanks, Jon |

Yes, rejecting articles is more than fine and is encouraged if the article is not to your liking. Rejecting 99% of articles after you received 25+ is not fair to writers and is not encouraged. I manually reviewed many of the rejections you made to make sure that many were rejected for bogus reasons. Your case is far from the norm and is not a common occurrence with requesters. It has happened 1 other time from roughly 20,000 requesters. Your account has been refunded. Please look elsewhere for articles. Thank you. Brad P.S. I also refunded you for the 2 articles that you did, indeed, approve and paid for. |

Hi, it depends on many factors. - if you submit to standard, premium, or elite writers - if you pay more than the minimum - if your topic sounds appealing to a writer and not confusing The average wait time for an article to be written is 12 hours. This means you could submit 1 article request and the avg wait would be 12 hours. OR you could submit 100 article requests and the avg wait time would still be only 12 hours. Many times it can be only a few minutes. It just depends on those factors above. Hope that makes sense. |

As Brad readily admits this is a very hit-or-miss content solution. I requested three articles-- 1 was poor, 1 was ok but I ended up rewriting almost the whole thing, and 1 article was really good. The poor and ok article were written by a 4 star writer but I feel he may not have been a native speaker. The really good article was by someone with 4.5 stars. I know Brad does allow the articles to be rewritten but for the low payout the writers get I didn't feel comfortable requesting a rewrite so it's really my own fault I ended up with two relatively bad articles. I will probably request more articles from the one writer who did a good job. Overall my recommendation would be to shell out the money for the elite writers at 4.8 or above. The quality of the four star writers is still not that great, although you might find a gem or two. |

I just got my second article back and it was written really well. You really need to choose the 4.5 star and upwards option to get the better writers then once you get a good writer you can submit an article direct to them. Well done Brad. |

Lastly, you mentioned you did have 1 really good writer who you'll use again. I highly suggest adding them to your "favorites" and continue doing that. Over time, you'll basically have your own on demand writing team that you can submit to. This is a major benefit/feature with iWriter. You're actually building a very powerful asset each time you submit requests. Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks for using iwriter. Brad | |

| Hi Brad, I have paid for articles before, and came to find out that these were duplicated content. I am all for outsourcing but if I pay for content to be written I would like truly unique content that is mine and mine alone. This allows me to use it as I see fit and not have it found all over the internet. If I pay for articles written by your service will these be truly unique or will it be spins on other articles already on the net? |

I have tried 10 articles and I think they are relatively good. Much better than those I tried on fiverr and some other sites. The beauty is that you can get them within hours. Most of the time I have to wait for days.

Hi, we could probably run it through grammarly, but I guess I don't really see the point. You're either going to get quality articles that you can approve OR articles you don't like, which you can reject and not pay. You're not forced to pay anything if you don't like the content. And you have the ability to submit to various levels of writers (standard, premium, and elite). I can see how this grammarly service might be helpful if you paid for the articles up front, and paid $25, or something for an article... But with iwriter, you don't pay anything unless you like the article. And when you do pay, it's dirt cheap. In my humble opinion, grammarly doesn't really help in this situation. Brad |

I understand your point of view, especially by the guarantee that you offer. My insistence is because I'm not very fluent in English (It is my second language) and do not know if a letter is right or not. So what I will check with Grammarly and if it fails, I do not approve the article. Is that okay? |

Hi, I would suggest using premium or elite writers if your English is poor. Doing this will ensure you have a proven writer write for you... and grammar should be just fine.

Brad I use few of your products and went and registered with iWriter. I have created a support ticket as I am unable to post the project. The system is throwing an error "You cannot use any kind of contact info in your project description." I cannot figure out what is evoking this error as no contact information/email/phone number is part of project description. I have listed few web sites, which are necessary for the writer to look at, not sure if that is the cause. I see that I can only select fixed number of words, which seems rather odd. I would like to give my writer a latitude say article length between 1000 to 1200 words and willing to pay on pro rate basis. Any suggestions ? |

Hi, I'm not sure, but if you submitted a ticket, it should be responded to today. Regarding the article length, the fixed numbers are a minimum guideline. So, if you select 500 word, then the writer, as a minimum, must write 500 words. I'm very sorry but there is no way to pro-rate an article. What many people do is they'll send a private message to a requester and ask them to write a bit more (1200 words) and then they'll send the writer a tip after they approve the project. Brad |

Brad I have recently joined iWriter and posted requirements for 8 articles. 5 articles were delivered in a matter of couple of hours. 1 was rejected and I see that 1 is being written. Since 3 articles are not in use, I am guessing there is lack of interest in the topics for the remuneration. When and how I can cancel these projects, I cannot find any information on the website. It seems no alert message is generated when a writer accepts a project. My suggestion is to incorporate this alert indicating, writer details and the time within which article will be tendered for approval. Thanks ---------------- Update I article which was showing "being written" now the status has changed to "available" and I don't have any notification as to the fate of the article. Brad - many things are not explained to 1st time user it is a bit frustrating not know what's going on. |

Hi, I'm assuming your article was written since your post was about 2 weeks ago :-) But to answer your question... If the status goes from pending to active, that means a writer clicked to write it but changed their mind and clicked "cancel" which places it right back in the queue for someone else to write. Hope that helps. Brad |
