Finding Good Fitness Writers is hard
I am also creating illustrations, obviously I really want to outsource as much as possible.
But its not that easy. My stuff is on fitness & bodybuilding.
I cant hire a western personal trainer to ghost write - they obviously want too much $$ like $80 per hour plus retain intellectual rights.
So I thought I would just stick up an ad at the student employment center here in auckland and get sports science students to do it for nz $15 per article which is a fair rate.
But no they told me today they wont post the job because its contract.
I am not hiring student writers on a non-contract basis.
I tried freelancer.com and got a dozen bids that were in the right price range - but the samples they provided were total garbage - absolutely rubbish.
So I took the ad down.
I need articles that are 750-1000 words written by subject matter experts.
EG: sports science students & people that have worked out for 3 years or more.
I'm prepared to pay up to $20 NZ per article. Which is fair as they take an hour to write.
Next I will try sticking posters up at local gyms, and I will email some sports trainers in offshore places where the hourly rates are dirt cheap.
Finally a joke - the student employment center that turned me down - their website runs adsense with public service ads showing - ha ha haa you know what I am gunna do.
