For everyone who asks for "cheap" writers, check this out. It could cost you thousands of dollars.

A client of mind just sent me this. It's the first of 25 pieces of content he purchased from a "cheap" writer. The very first sentence shows just how good such cheap writers are:

The whole thing is like this -- bad grammar, boring content without a hint of personality and stilted English

He didn't tell me what he paid for each piece, but let's assume he paid $5 each. That's $125 down the drain right there (he hired me to redo the whole thing from scratch). Then, let's assume he could have been making $500 per week from his site if he'd had proper content. In the two weeks it will take for me to redo the project for him, he's losing $1,000 then. That's $1,125 gone. Let's assume further he had decided to put this stuff up for two months and that it halved his income. Two months of $1,000 losses and his total now goes up to $3,125 all because he thought he was "saving money" on a cheap writer.

Now this is of course hypothetical. He could easily lose more money because he tried to "save" a few bucks or he could lose less, however, regardless of what you may estimate, he will have losses and they'll likely be in the thousands of dollars. By the way, those who say that they never got complaints -- you probably wouldn't. To complain, a customer has to care. Most don't. They'll just leave your site and go elsewhere to someone who spent the time and money to engage them properly.

Bottom line, you get what you pay for when you hire cheap, fluff writers. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish.

Edit: I just realized I made a mistake in posting the version that had been up. That was after I'd spent a few minutes trying to correct the grammar. The original version that my client sent me now appears above.
