Hello,I want to ask that if it is worth hiring article writers,I currently have access to writters who asked for $10 per 1,000 words,is it worth it,outcomes depend on many things,and I know for content marketing it requires traffic to be driving to your site,but,I just don't have the general ideas of the general results,is it worth it,the same question apply to eBook writing

$10 per 1k words is typical ($0.01 per word). Is it written by native English speaking writer?

  Prices depend on the writer and what you're looking to get in return. Are you looking to get OK articles for your website? Or looking to build authority for long term? It all depends on what you want to accomplish and your budget.
  
  A non-native English writer would usually charge less. A native English writer with background in your niche might charge more.... depends on the writer.

  If your intended audience is native English speakers then it is mostly useless at any price.

  Exactly.

Hi Z,

Hmmm...$10 per 1,000 words? Nope lol. Or, no way. Good article writers, who'll expand your presence online, would ask for $100 to $120 or up for 1000 words. Anything in the $10 range, these guys are not quality or they are struggling, and even if their skills are OK they will likely not give you the returns you want to achieve. Offering this advice as a freelance writer for the past 3 years. I've seen plenty of folks who charge these rates and in most cases, the work won't be the quality you want to receive. Again, you may find the 1 in a 1000, the diamond in the rough, but I doubt you're doing the online bit to gamble

Not so sure on this or you might be thinking of something else... Or you using too much Bali (lol I got jokes) *for those who do not get the joke Bali is known for it's Kratom. Some of the BEST Kratom.*When I am in a pinch for OFFICIAL writing I write it up and have an editor from the New York times I know proof and make adjustments and changes to make ideas stand out better for only .02 a word and only takes him a minute or two to do. I know this is not the same as a straight up article writer but still.

All boils down to one thing and that is NETWORKING. If you pay 100.00 for a 1k word article for your site just to grow content on then you can hit me up I have the key to the golden gate bridge to sell you.

Thanks

I have used people who charged $5 on fiverr and they have been delivering cool and high quality articles.

I Don't know the service you are talking about so i can't tell if it is ok or bad until you try it. There is nothing wrong in trial since if you are successful, you enjoy the profit, if you fail you gain the experience so take the risk.

But since you say their native/ official language is not english, then there might be a problem here and as for the price, some people are cheap, others can be expensive.

A few niches I have used College kids. You get a couple who did creative writing and are good with improv and researching and crafting a good story you are golden and they do not charge much either. (Mommy and daddy pays everything you are just there beer money.)

I recently saw a person ask for bids for article writing and his budget was $20 for 4000 words and the average bid was $80...so I guess it depends on where you sitting.

Quality will always be a factor also completion time. You also mentioned eBooks. A good ghostwriter will not be the same price wise or results wise as a person that just re-arranges some PLR content for you.

But some people make content for Google and some create it for humans so it depends on what your specific needs are.

You can find good writers willing to work for $10. But, just a heads up, don't expect perfection from them! Not all of them are extraordinary. If you want quality articles, you should expand your budget a bit more.

Long term this is not the way to go. I would encourage you to do this on your own. I never had any writing skills but I wrote all of my articles since I started writing back in 2005.

But, if you are going to write an entire ebook and want it to be professional looking, I would hire someone to do this for you.

I always think that it is better to do your own writing. You can have someone else edit it for you to double check spelling and grammar, but unless you do the actual writing no one gets to know who you are. The old adage that "people buy people" is still true in today's marketplace. If someone doesn't know you, they are going to go looking for someone else.

Yeah you can fork out five bucks on fiverr on a pretty good article or more.

But the going rate most websites owners or blog owners pay to guest blogger to write post or articles of 500 to 800 words are between $0.008 to $0.015 per word.

But you can do your due diligence first before spending a penny.

Best Wishes with your articles
