Cheap Good Articles

**Maarten** · 10-03-2008, 10:23 AM

Hello fellas,

We are working on a big website on which we will need loads of articles and other written content. Neither of us is a native english speaker and since good content is everything, we want to get the whole bunch written by a native proffessional english speaker (my best bet).

We never outsourced before and I would appreciate some good pointers. What site should we turn to to find the right elancer?

He must be; cheap, good and reliable (ofcourse!)

Does anyone have any experince good or bad with elancers? What is a reasonable price per article? I heard a guru say he gets his best english written articles from eastern europe, which sounds kind of illogical to me, but I am open to suggestions!

Thanks in advance,

Maarten

I really kind of doubt that you're going to be able to get cheap and good and reliable. My best suggestion is to team up with a university English department to see if they have any students who would be willing to write articles.

Maybe I can help you with that. I am good, and I am certainly not expensive

... Just send me a list of articles you need and I will send you a quote.

Cheers!

I've worked through Elance a lot, and you can find good writers, but you have to pay for them. If you want cheap, I would suggest PLR articles. You can use them as is or tweak them a little to make them unique. A lot of people buy PLR and then hire a rewriter. That results in very cheap work and a better quality than if you underpaid someone to do unique articles from scratch.

Check out larger webmaster forums. You can find really good writers looking for work at reasonable rates.

Sounds like a sweet solution, but why would they be interested?

Money. Experience on a resume. It might take a while to find some writers, though. You should at least have a better chance of getting a good writer, though.

**trooperdog1** · 10-07-2008, 07:38 PM

Lots of reading to still do.

**Maarten** · 10-08-2008, 06:11 AM

well about that need-an-article.com it's not that great of a solution if you want quality, thanks for the recommendation though.

I want quality articles and not some blaberish because they had to finish the article asap because it then would cost less.

**miksy123** · 10-09-2008, 05:27 PM

Better invest your money in english classes!Learn english first and then write your own articles!

**N.Braddock** · 10-14-2008, 06:12 PM

LOL!

I can help you!

I am pretty cheap but I don't give up quality...what's the point, then? English is my native language, too.

Email me: N.Braddock@gmail.com

I can help!

Thanks!

Check this output after using automated article writing softwares - do you really recommend any crap software that can write this type of content.

Moderators : Sorry to copy whole article ... post may look bad and spammy. Don't want to publish website's link.

Largely, bottle openers are is a an awfullyusefulbasicgadget which is generallyused totake out the metal bottle caps from a bottle ofbeer or any other drinks which has a bottle cap on top. Though thediscoverer of this modest tool has beennot anymorein anonymity, thehandiness of a bottle opener is a must have which, clubbingwould be unpleasant a bottle opener at one?s disposal, one would have to drink from bottles using other objects or as in uncivilisedplaces, with one?s teeth.
though bottle openers are usually found around the house, they can causeseveral annoyingproblems if missing. This is especially true during a function when visitors very much want to drink but nobodyseems to see a bottle opener.as a result , a bottle opener though very common, is avery important social device too.
Can openers are alike gadgets which are mostly used to to claw apart steel cans containing predominantly foodstuffs and they a must have if one eats canned food. just think that at a vacation with a lot of canned food. You are very hungry but as there is not a common thing as a bottle opener, all that food is going to remain unopened. Such is the are the tight spots which insignificant things such as bottle openers and can openers may put one in.
A bottle opener facilitates opening of bottlesby means of a very elementary principle. As the metallic cap is fastened on the top edge of the bottle, thus fixing it on the top, the opener is designed accordingly as to be inserted beneath this andpry the cap out. A can opener removes lids by inserting a jagged edge in the can and then gradually cutting away the metallic covering by slow circulations of a circular saw.
These days, there are a wide variety of bottle openers such as those ranging from openers which are used as toys to openers which are wall mounted. People have even started making designer bottle openers which the elite shoppers or super rich people like to buy. Who could have imagined that there would such an rich target market for small things like can openers to bottle openers, but that?s the way things are these days and no one seems to bemaking a fuss.

I'm curious how much a good and reliable writer asks per article. Because my pay wasn't that bad and they (some of the writers I've hired) still couldn't perform...

**whguru** · 10-30-2008, 06:55 AM

It may help not to expect too much from hired writers. If you're one of those perfectionist creatures (like me), prepare yourself to do some overhaul on articles written by others. You're lucky when you found writers who have distinctive writing and near-perfect grammar and spelling. Grab 'em at once because, believe me, they come only once in a lifetime. I mean, after they passed your tests, offer a fair pay

I have been told I have a very distinctive writing style.

For the OP-- may I ask how cheap?

**truepath** · 11-04-2008, 03:31 PM

I think your best solution is to make sure that you really do some research. As english isn't your first language, you should probably try and find someone who reads and writes well that can assure you that you are making the right decision. Check out a clients previous articles. Are they quality? If not, why not post a wanted ad somewhere looking for someone to do the job. Plenty of college students would love to pump out an article for some fast cash. Good luck
