Has anyone tried to outsource their article marketing for a website? I have heard that ELance.com has really good writers. Is this true?

Any tips or other websites for paid article marketing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My team outsources many of their articles. We personally haven't gone that route yet, as we are satisfied with our current results.

Craigslist (just becareful for scammers) is a good resource to find writers for your articles. Just do you research on that person and see if they have a legitamate website outside of craigslist. $5 an article is a good # I have seen for a 400-500 word article.

If you end up outsourcing - let me know how it goes and which route you went!

I know I am biased when I say this but....be careful, because a lot of the times you get what you pay for.

Don't get me wrong I know many marketers who use really inexpensive writers and they work out ok with little revisions. But as with anything else in life, cheap doesn't necessarily last.

Warrior Forum is only place where i buy my articles. Got my personal writer from there. $1 for 100 words. Very high quality, uses LSI keywords. 5 start rating in WF. I have many articles ranked first, without any backlinks. Very very good results.

I can give his username if you want.

Well I was looking for articles writer for my new website, registered in so many of these sites, freelance, etc, and the quality of posts even the bid reply was not good! I agree with Ken Cheap is not always good.
I did not look far I actually found the writer from this forum, I am not sure if I can say who the writer is! but I am more than pleased with the quality, research, and the keyword and above all that the speed of service got 10 articles 500 words in 48 hours.
I am honestly not advertising but very pleased with the service I received, it is not difficult to spot who the writer is, his thread quality speak for him.

For your long term success, I would really encourage you to write your own articles.

I know that it may seem hard right now, but you should learn it so that you can write your own.

I agree with Tal that you would have much more benefits on the long run if you write your own articles. Now if you run 10-20 sites it might be necessary to do so but for just few sites you could do it without hiring anybody.

Sure at beginning your article might not be at the level you wanted it to be but give it some time and before you know it your writing will improve great deal and you will start seeing some positive results.

Good way is to write in same niche and become expert and assuming you publish it with same article directory your article soon will be picked up by other publishers and you will be getting more exposure.

I just started my article marketing as well and at begging my articles looked bad but over the time it changed and from over 7000 writers in my niche I rank below 200 which is not bad for I am doing it only for few month now.

My goal is to get at least 100 articles posted in same niche

Good luck

you can either go the route to using articles for backlinks or articles for real people.

in the end. if it's taking you 5 hrs to write 1 article why not write that one and outsource 10 more?

Keep the best stuff for important keywords and the rest to just build yourself up.

I have about 5 writers. My most loyal one is my elance one. Hand groomed to write my specific topics.

I am now using the UAW and love it. I write one article and then it takes me about 10 minutes to rewrite some of it using the UAW software and it spins as many as 500 articles out of that one article for me and submits it to hundreds of blogs and directories.

Am seeing results from it in less than a month.

A great place to get cheap (and often well written) content is the Digital Point forums, there are hundreds of writers there so you can literally name your price!
