OK, we've heard it a million times and I'm sorry, but...

I hate really bad articles......

.....but.... what about the people who don't speak English as a first language.

(Not including the fluent) The internet is an world wide device. It's not the fault of every single country on earth if they don't write English.

It's great for us English speaking (I say that loosely as a Scotsman), but everyone in the world deserves a chance to produce an income from their computer.

I know there is so many countries with people that don't write perfect English. When you write, English speaking people use it to make money.

Don't you see.................

Let 2012 be the end of cheap labour. Oh yeah.......... $2 p/h in India is good, but what about using your own articles and making $10 p/h.

Say NO. NO. NO to Western cheap skates.

Build your own empire.

This wont make some people happy but it;'s true. Be your own man/woman, or at least try.

    The internet is filled with low quality junk thanks to a few people wishing to save on just a handful of dollars. It is really frustrating. People who are not fluent in English have as much right to be on the internet device as we do, but for god's sake, please don't put them in positions where their work can be humiliated and laughed at by thousands of warriors. Seriously, those who are saving a few bucks by getting atrocious articles need to realize that when people see their business associated with such atrocities, it is more than likely to have an adverse impact.

      While I agree with all the above you are flogging a dead horse.

      Most major companies have outsourced huge swathes of their business to cheap labour overseas.

      It stared with simple tasks and then the realization of the “cost savings” created a huge drive to outsource everything, even highly skilled tasks and the all important customer facing tasks.

      A quick search in Google can find thousands of complaining customers from every company who outsources their support or customer service and most is based around “language problems” or “they are just following scripts”.

      Does that make the companies rethink their outsourcing strategies. Absolutely not. The PROFITS are still improved and the share prices go up (even in these traumatic times). In some cases this kind of outsourcing has saved the companies from financials disaster and even complete collapse.

      I used to work for Hewlett Packard and was involved in doing exactly this for them some years ago so I speak from experience.

      If the worlds major companies take this route (successfully?) then how can you expect to convince individuals that they should do any different. Bottom line is that, especially for newbies, this kind of activity can show early results (and as we know most people in this game just want instant success).

      Whether or not it means long term failure does not enter the equation of the thousands of people who want that instant success, who are craving for “something to work”, who are buying the push button solutions and the internet dream.

    You are right somehow but at the end of the day it comes back to $$$, I have few writers who write 1000s words articles for 2/3$ and their English is perfect, why would I pay 15$ for an article while I can get it for 3$ with the same quality? I tried the 15$ articles and it is the same quality.

    Cheap articles do not always mean bad content, they charge less because the 3 dollars have the same value as 15 dollars for us.

    For me I cannot write articles, my English is really bad, I cannot sit down and write a good article so I need someone to write for me lol I also have a good fulltime Job but it takes most of my time so there is no time to write..I would be wasting my time if I write, I feel bad for good writers / employees who got hurt by the outsourcing but as I said it all comes down to time and money, I hired a guy to build a website for me, he spent over 50 hours on it and he still provides technical support for free, he charged me 200$ ! if I asked someone from North America/ Europe to do it, they will ask for 1000+
