Finding a Writer

Finding the right freelance writer to produce your revenue generating articles can take a bit of time, however, if you find one that can easily take on another regular client and the two of you work well together, then that one difficult search will turn into a lot of profitable articles.

When you start your search, you may want to begin with a very small group of articles, just in case you happen too hook up with a writer that you are less than thrilled with.

It is important to keep in mind that there are several different types of writing and each writer might be highly skilled in one area, yet lack in another.  For example, there is creative/fiction writing, biographical writing, news writing, general informational article writing, critical writing, copy-writing, poem/verse writing, technical writing, medical writing, essay/report writing, and sports writing.  Although a writer may be highly skilled in one area, many freelance writers spread themselves out into others areas as well.  So, it is critical that the writer you choose can produce the type of content that you need.

To find a freelance writer, you can look at various freelancing websites that will allow you to post the specification of your project and your budget.  To find these sites do a google search for Freelance Article Writer sites there are about 5.4 million results at the time of writing so you should narrow your search down to the type or niche relating to the article you want written.

From there, writers will make bids on your project and provide you with writing samples so that you can get an idea of their skill level.  Make sure that you choose a writer who gives you a sample of the type of article that you are looking for.  For example, if you are looking for a copy-writer, do not hire someone who only sent you a sports writing sample.  He or she may be an outstanding sports writer, but copy-writing is about selling (a product, service, or yourself) to your website visitors.

In conclusion, the more you are willing to pay per article, the more bids you will get from quality writers who know how to entertain and inform your website visitors so that they keep coming back for more.  Writers know that you will eventually make a ton of money off of each article or content piece.  So although $30 or more for a 500 word article may seem like a lot, when you think about the service they are providing you and the time and effort that they put into your piece, then you will realize that it really is not a lot for that one article.  If you pay for quality, you will be amazed at how much you will eventually make off of your articles.

    Richard,

    I think you’re right in that going for the cheapest writer is almost always a bad idea. After all, they probably don’t write the best English (there again, you certainly can’t assume that every native English speaker will write well).

    I do think that paying $30 for a 500 word article is overkill for online use, particularly when constrained within such a tight word limit to give little flexibility for creativity. However, for offline use, or for top-notch money sites, there is something to be said for paying 6c a word.

    Hi Thom

    I have to agree that $30 for a 500 word article sounds pricey and I personally would be looking for a cheaper alternative.

    However if that article was going to make you a few thousand dollars then it is a cheap price to pay.

    I was on a webinar with Jason Fladien the other night and he recommends hireing a full time worker in the Philapines for around $250 per month. If all he did was write articles for you he should be able to write 80 unique articles each month (8 hours per day @ 2 hours per article times 20 days) which would work out at $3.13 per article.

    Of course you could get him to do other work for you as well and still only spend a fraction of the $30 per article. SOme of this could be publishing the articles on article directories after you have approved them.
