Best Way To Write Articles

Do you want high quality, fast turnaround or cheap price? All three rarely, if ever, come together.

You should check out oDesk.com or Elance.com, you will sign up for free and pay less per article.

But generally the quality is what you pay for.

You won't get fluent English writers accepting peanuts for 500 word articles.

In todays SEO situation unique content writers are in high demand, so you won't find too many high quality ones settling on super-low prices these days.

i don't like writing articles also, but a lot of people can help you with that if you have the money

Generally high quality articles that would be accepted for ezine articles as well as articles I would use for web sites and other article directories.

$10 per article is actually a fairly low rate if you want content that is high quality and free of grammar/spelling errors and plagiarized content. I agree that you don't necessarily need a membership fee in order to get that work done. Check out the Warriors for Hire thread here. Just remember, you get what you pay for. If you want quality and speed, you need to be willing to spend a little more.

ok if I were to try and write articles myself, would it be possible for someone to proof read an article and edit it to be high quality at a lower price?

Thanks to the Panda update, we're actually seeing demand for good writers going up, not down. In fact, some of the content mills like Demand Media have cut way back. In any case, as mentioned, try Elance, Odesk or here at WF.

It isn't uncommon for me to pay $20 per 500 word article or more when I outsource to get the quality I want and I know people that pay more.

When you buy an article you aren't just buying the article. You are paying for the expertise of the writer and the time they have put into perfecting their craft as well as the time they spend researching and writing the article.

You can find some lower priced articles. I have used iWriter.com a few times and had okay results, but nothing too amazing. Check out the Warriors for Hire section. Another option is Craigslist. I have hired a few college students to write for me and that has worked out well, though it may take a little longer to explain what you need from them.

Hello, is there any tutorial on how to write good article?
I want to be an article writer, a good one.

Hi,

I agree with Ken_Caudill. That's the best place to go to. I am happy with their work.

WOW... that first article "1-2-3...." was a collaboration of intricate dictionary words seamlessly streamed together with a contextual flow of a quantum leap back into the peak of the 1960's... "What a long strange trip it's been."

Why don't you try PLR articles if you truly dislike writing articles that much? That's probably the cheapest you can find for quality articles.

What about the quality of their writing?If good,it is worth it.Price and quality always come relavent.

I would suggest you to go for cheap quality article writing service. The purpose of adsense sites is to get clicks on your advertisements. So you want your content to be lousy to make your visitors want to click away from your website.

fast, cheap, good.... select any 2 at the max.....

try Elance

Seriously. You come in here with a question as broad as how to write an article, I have only one answer and that is to have someone else write them.

Sorry - not trying to be a bitch, but writing isn't something that someone can give you a few "how to" instructions on. It is a sinuous process and you aren't going to get free writing courses anywhere that I know of. When you are good enough at it to ask a specific and realistically answerable question about how to approach a specific detail in writing, then you will be at least at a level that someone in a forum can give you some help. As an ex-teacher....just sayin'..........

Have you tried Fiverr.com? They have very good writers, editors and SEO wizards that can help you write articles on just about any subject or topic. Some will even write for $4 (Fiverr keeps $1 from every sale.) Seriously, poor writing will keep legitimate interested parties from purchasing anything you have to sell. Invest in good writing and you'll reap the benefits.

You should think about hiring a part time or full time article writer. Outsource your work to someone if you have enough work to provide them. The best place I have found is OnlineJobs.ph

You can find tons of people, on this job board, willing to do article writing for around $400 a month.

Or you can try using Amazon's Mechanical Turk to outsource your article writing for a low price.

Or you can try looking for good deals on the Warrior Forum. There is a whole section dedicated to service offers. You can find a decent amount of seasoned article writing service providers here who can write quality articles for a reasonable price.

Article writing is one of the most time-consuming process when it comes to SEO. It much advisable that you outsource this somewhere else. Please check my sig if you wanna check out one of the best article writing service there is.

If you are running an internet business you must either learn to write reasonably well or have the cash to pay someone to do it for you. I have paid others to do stuff for me in the past with very mixed results. I now do it all myself because I can usually do it better than those I've come across on the various sites such as elance and vworker. However, I'm a retired head of English in a large comprehensive and I should be able to do it. It generally takes me half an hour to turn someone else's article into a completely new and original one that passes the Copyscape test. Copyscape is essential to use so that your content is not downgraded and thus your page rankings affected. It only costs 5 cents per check and is great value for money.

Odesk.com is good place to get good articles writers on cheap rates

To get good quality anything in life you really have to pay the going rate, in most cases. Articles cannot be that different.

I have never had the need to use a writing service but I know that Elance.com have a decent record. You might want to try there.

Good luck,
Steph

"I'm someone who dislikes writing or maybe it's the fact that it's hard to write an article."

You don't look like you dislike writing. You write pretty well from what I can see so why not write your own articles?

I am sure once you start to see the words flowing on your screen you might actually get a buzz out of it.

If you don't like writing you could always use something like Dragon Naturally Speaking.

Cheap price usually means low quality writing by someone that doesn't even speak English as their first language. This is not going to help you achieve your long term goals.

You need to look at every article you buy as an investment. If you spend $20 or more for an article (a very fair price for 500-700 words of quality writing) it will probably make you 10 times that much over the next year or two.

If it is quality writing it will bring you more traffic when you use it for syndication. Also, if you get the right type of writer they can give you proper SEO without taking away from the reader experience to help get the article listed higher on Google.

I would not expect an article of this quality to be turned around in 24 hours. If a writer can turn an article around that fast it would make me wonder. This, to me, says they don't have much work and that means they are not delivering for the clients they have written for or they would be slammed.

You can hire for affordable price through onlinejobs.ph and bestjobs.ph. Ask for a paid sample first and if you are satisfied, hire that freelancer. Filipinos are great in writing articles and doing complex stuff too.

I'm assuming the site you've gotten your articles from is needanarticle? I found them to be hit or miss and you have no control over it, an apparently they proofread the articles before you get them but not sure those proofreaders know anything about spelling or grammar.

iWriter is the newest one and the pricing is fairly cheap but most of the time you get really crappy articles. The good thing with them though is you don't pay until you approve an article so you can decline it if it's no good.

eLance is the worst, I rarely get a good article from them but then again I usually go for the mid-low range quote, I suspect if you go higher, it might be better. Also I found when the articles are specialized and not in one of the usual niches (weight loss, IM, etc.) you get better quality.

The best place is probably here in the Warrior forum. You can usually get good reviews and the competition is such that the good ones rise to the top.

Keep in mind though that you are going to pay for what you get. But how much is your time worth?

Thanks Ken, going to check out monkeyswithtypewriters.com right now.

My favourite way of writing an article is to break it down into sections. I'll first decide on a title, then decide on which aspects of the topic would be most interesting to visitors.

From there, I'll bullet point those interesting aspects as separate paragraphs. By the time I come to create the rest of the content, I can simply use the bullet points as prompts and write a couple of sentences about the prompt.

Breaking it down in the above manner makes it really easy for me to stick to a logical structure, and once I have a logical structure I can usually power through an article in 20-30 minutes.

If you don't want to write your own articles, I can recommend the Warriors for Hire section on this forum. I've used a couple of writers from there in the past; it has always been a good experience.

If you want cheap articles, try mturk or fiverr, which have been mentioned. You might also check out Constant Content, although you'll pay a bit more. The articles are pretty much technically perfect. I tried getting accepted there for writing, but despite being pretty good, I was not good enough.

I love to write articles, and while I don't know if they're good, I've been asked to write articles for other people. With practice, it beomces easier, and you follow the tips in this thread, you'll find your article writing time goes down.

As an example, I wrote this article last night, in response to your thread. I went to post it, but the database hiccuped, and so I couldn't post it until now.

Article length: 460 words. Time to write it: 11 minutes. This is unedited.





Are you using these 3 tips to help increase your article output?


Writing articles can be the pits, don't you agree? You sit and type, and come up with an article you think is great, but when you read it, you hate it. And to add insult to injury, you've just spent an hour on it! You're convinced there has to be an easier way, and you're right. Using these three simple tips below, you can improve your article writing time, and make articles less painful to write. Ready to get started?


First, people love articles that promise them results fast. "3 Simple tips" "6 Mistakes to avoid" "5 Steps to" article titles grab people's attention. We love information in sound bites. Use it to your advantage. Using a number keeps you from getting too bogged down in the details. And, if you're aiming for a 400 word article, 3-5 tips is a great way to break it up. No need to go into lots of detail, just 75 words per tip, and an intro and conclusion of about 50 words each, and you're done!


Know what you're going to write before you write it. Use an outline if you need to. No, not one of those huge ones that takes up 3 pages, but a few notes. Bullet points, if you will. These give you direction. Have you had the problem of starting out on one topic, and midway through a paragraph you've found that you're off topic? Use an outline to help keep you on track, and to keep you from losing those vital bits if information you want to convey.


Third tip is set a timer. The difference between a great article you spent 2 hours crafting, and a decent article you spent 20 minutes writing isn't that much. Remember, most sites don't want college level reading material. The Average Joe wants information, wants to know what's in it for him, and he wants that information, and the solution, now. So, set a timer, give yourself 10, 20, or 30 minutes, and write. When the timer goes off, save the file (if you haven't already), close it, and leave it alone. Get a drink, walk about your place, browse facebook, but DO NOT go back to your article. Look at it a few hours later. Heck, look at it tomorrow. Set a timer, and edit. Then you're done.


For some people writing articles is fun. For others, it's a chore, and for more still, it's necessary evil. But, if you use the above tips of chunking information into small bits, having a plan, and limiting the time you write, you'll find the article writing process will go smoother, and be less of a headache. And, the more you write, the faster your article writing will become.

Know the level of quality you want and the keyswords as well as total words. Be sure to interview cobtrctors at here in the forum as well as those at elance, odesk and search google.

Five dollars per 500 word article is average. Quality is subject to conversion. Be sure to conduct test.

The South East is a nice bed ground for cheap reliable article outsourcing

Getting cheap content will reflect poorly to your site's visitors. Sure, you can outsource to India or the Philippines for $2 - $3 for keyword-stuffed, non-sensical rubbish.

But, how will your visitors view that? The way to make your site stand out and get the traffic/sales you want is to pay well (at least $20 per article) to the right person who is willing to do a good job. Get a sample of their writing before paying.

Or, learn to write yourself. If you think of it this way, think from the writer's perspective. If we make $20 per article and it takes 1 hour to write, that equates to about $40,000 per year. Then, we're responsible for our own insurance, retirement fund, and all other expenses, and by the time you subtract all those, you're basically living at or slightly above the poverty level.

Instead of thinking about your wallet, either learn to write better yourself, or find a way to make enough money to pay a decent writer. It costs up-front, but it's worth it in the long-run!

Some good tips in here, thanks!

I'm also seeing a potential chance for me to help out other warriors and at the same time earn a bit of cash myself to help fund my own projects.

I have had some great success (in my opinion) in the past couple months with article marketing. One of my articles has now been picked up by 5 other sites/blogs and republished, giving me a nice incoming link and sending me to page 1, rank 1 for my target keyword! now that current post gets 75-100 hits a day from google and it's all thanks to 1 article.

Where would be a good place to start offering my article writing services?

Fweez is a good article writing service. They charge $1 per 100 words and often have discounts going on. The quality is also great.

Hey bro. Yeah writing articles is something that can sure be a time killer! I've written over 1.8K articles on Ezine articles and my business partner will is a little over 2K. And with some other Pen names we have were around the 4.5K mark.

Anyway... A lot of those articles were written by us. I feel that the tool that helped us write the most articles was the product called "Dragon natural Speaker 10". They probably have a newer version now but this helped out a lot because all we did was talk out the articles and our microsoft word typed it up for us.

Still, I would always try to hire someone. Gives you more time to focus on other things.

You can try Scriptlance (watch out for quality), or even go to criaglist Philippines. I believe the most popular city is "Manilla". Then post what you are looking for in the writer section and let them know what you need and what you are looking to pay.

They speak good and even great english over there and you will put yourself in the position to find a great writer. When you find one, build a great business relationship with them!

Then ya can have a full time or part time writer! =-D

Hope that helps!

Goto fiverr, a lot of gig there and willing to write unique articles for you for just bucks...

In an earlier post someone asked about pricing for editing.

I pay $5.00 for 750 to 800 word articles to a brilliant lady that lives in Texas.

You are lucky because some War Room Members want to write for you at cheap price. I'll help you some dollars to pay for it.
