How many of you buy your articles? How many write them?

Hey,

You can check the Warriors For Hire section, and do a search for article writing.

I like the write my own articles, because I have specific goals in mind for my blog. But as you can see on my current blog, I have very few posts because I don't have the time to write them properly. So I'm also thinking of outsourcing this in the future.

If you do a Google search: buy articles - Google Search
Then you'll find a lot of websites where webmasters can buy or sell articles and website content!

Goodluck

Heh, that's funny I was just going to ask a similar question - it's the reason I signed on.

But here's my answer;

When I'm writing for a site/blog of mine that interests me, I write it myself always.

If I'm writing for a site who's topic doesn't interest me, or I have very little knowledge of the subject and am Feeling lazy. I then outsource.

For outsourcing, you can look in a multitude of places. Whether it be the warrior 'warriors for hire' forum, or DP (there are some quality writers, may just take a time to find them), oDesk, eLance and other freelance sites. You can basically go to any big'ish webmaster forum, and you should find a place to find people looking for work.

Good luck mate,

-Aidan.

P.s: And I apologize for the shameless self-promotion, but I'm going to be bringing out a report shortly that shows you how to increase CTR in your resource box, how to structure articles and so on.
Once I get it checked over and get the thumbs up, I can send you a free copy in return for a review (if you feel like it).

Again, apologies everyone .

Well heres the thing, the topic interests me but I am only a semi-strong writer and I tend to run out of things to write about quickly. I am trying to build a tech website but realistically I cannot see myself writing more than two or three articles per page per week or so, and I also want to put news up.
also, off topic I would like to see your report. I would be happy to give you a review on it.

I write articles myself, because I believe I'm a good writer and life has proven to me that you can't really trust anyone but yourself

I hate writing, so I just hire people to do it. It's one of those things where if you like it, it will be easy and you can do it yourself, until the time investment no longer makes sense.

I neither write articles myself nor I outsource them. I only spin articles through a article spinner and it gives me 30 to 40% unique article.

"How many of you buy your articles?"

Well, I don't buy my own articles, if that's what you mean. Other than with my time.

I usually write them myself, but sometimes I buy.

At the very beginning of my marketing efforts I used to write 95% of my articles and it became such a huge grind. (And I even like writing!) If you know you are going to churn out lots of unique content then I would definitely outsource it. You can find some pretty good people on the cheap (less than 5 bucks per article) if you look around, namely in the Warriors For Hire section. Make sure you have them write a sample first though to see if it is to your liking.

I write my own and when I run out of ideas, I simply use a big package of plr article that I have to rewrite them and make a totally unique article out of them.
But, if you can afford, I would say hiring someone is worth it. It really is time consuming, even if you use plrs. Good luck.

I write my own and re-write plr

Always write my own. Love writing. I feel adds a more personable experience for your website viewers. And if someone stumbles across your article on google you want the best representation of yourself and your site. Only you can set that standard. I do also spin my articles, but make sure they are up to par.

It's all about your time and preference, and how important the article is to your site and marketing it. Try and find a balance between quality and quantity.

I dont think I am ready for outsourcing just yet. What I do now is to get PLR articles and have them rewritten. When I say rewritten, I do it myself. I just cant trust anyone yet. I guess, it may take some time. I need to set some guidelines before I will be able to do that.

Ohh... Writing article is in fact one of my passions and my way of making money online. In your case, just try to access how good your writing skill then, if you are confident that you do make a quality one --- then have it yourself first. But, if ever you doubt yourself for making it so, you have couples of option then, you can have it being outsourced or hire your own writer.

Quite a number of posts here suggest that there are some kind of trust issues. You seem to trust only yourself, and think you can do the best job.

Used to have that mentality until I realized that this mentality that allows you to have quality work is actually stopping you from producing any work at all.

There are lots of people who can write better and faster, leaving enough time for you to concentrate on your core business.

I write my own and rewrite PLR, depending where I want to place them.

I write my own articles and blog posts when talking about forex / investment topics because you can always tell the difference between writers who have simply researched the subject and writers who actually trade.

However for a few of my side-projects in much smaller niches I tend to buy articles because I don't have the time to write them myself.

I write my own articles most of the time, but I’ve outsourced a few times, to be honest I haven’t had a great deal of success outsourcing as the quality of the articles has been quite poor, and although I’m far from a literary genius the standard of my own articles were much better, but maybe I’ve just been unlucky.
I guess it depends how much time you have to write and submit articles, a question of cost and finding a good service that you are happy with.

I write my articles, but I am thinking about buying some as well in order to increase my article marketing process

It's the same thing with the rest of the previous poster. I'm a writer and love writing but I don't know everything so I outsource for the things I can't do. For everything else I make it my own and make sure to check it on copyscape for uniqueness. And no I do not recommend spinner software. A spinner person maybe.

I think most people like to begin by writing articles themselves. This cuts down on your start up costs and lets you learn how everything is done in terms of building a site. Once you see some income coming in, then you can look to outsourcing the content creation portion. Outsourcing will allow you to have more time for other areas of creating websites.

Most decent article writers start out at $5 and go up from there. Just remember, you get what you pay for...

It depends on what the article is being written for.

If the article is going to have my name attached to it and go on one of my blogs, I write it.

But, if the article is for back links then I outsource it.

Talk soon come

i write articles when I feel I can write them. Occupationally i do not want to force myself to write things that will just be pointless and has no meaning. I like to write for myself especially on my blogs since they are like my daily diaries.

As you can see, there are a ton of different opinions on the subject. Here's what I normally tell people -- if you hate to write, just aren't very good at writing (no shame in it, plenty of people can't write!), or just don't have the time to write, your readers WILL notice. Simple grammar errors, rambling on, not being compelling, or doing a "rush job" because you have other responsibilities to deal with, unfortunately, stick out like a sore thumb in writing.

If any of those are the case, hire a professional writer who can handle the job for you. And notice, I said "professional" - meaning someone who can do the work without you babysitting them, training them, or having to rewrite most of what they do

I buy for definite, writing is the worst chore for me, I guess the left side of my brain is definitely the strongest, plus I find the quality of the article is better when outsourced then I could ever write

Ruchi

I buy and write my own.

I do both, I have hired writers from the warriors for hire forum with some very good results. I mostly re-write plr myself, I feel that my time can usually be better spent doing other things because writing bores me to death and it shows in my articles.

Chris

I generally write my own articles. However if you mean buy as in the sense of plr stuff, then I avoid it. However if your talking more about buying them from an article writer then that is more often than not a good idea if they've written the articles specifically for you.

Personally I will not buy article ..unless you can see if they're not already in use online..its all about unique content my friend..

I have so far, always written all my articles, but I don't enjoy writing so much, so I will start outsourcing this soon

I always make original content, so that's what i will ask my outsourcer to do also, write original content for me, now spun articles, it keeps the internet more enjoyable=D

I write a lot of my own but I have bought articles in the past when I don't have a lot of time available to write.

I write my own. At the beginning I thought it was hard but it is quite easy !

I am with a lot of others here - I write my own OR I will buy PLR and rewrite it to make it unique.

Easy!
