Have you guys ever experienced this: You have found a very good niche that's not saturated yet, found a perfect domain name with keywords on it already set up the site, but can't find a writer who have knowledge on it?

  • Perhaps hire someone who is willing to do the research necessary to gain knowledge on it. The price tag will likely be higher, but if it will still be profitable for you in the long-term, it may still be worth your while.

  • I have to say: no.

    You should really make a firm business plan before setting up a website, or any online business. If it's an unusual niche, expect to pay higher prices for content.

  • Can't say I have.

    But then again, I don't pick either niches or domain names based on the output of some keyword tool.

  • I am a writer and have written material on lots of subjects I knew nothing about when I started. But a little research and I can quickly write content that reflects true knowledge. However, it's because I have been doing it for more than 5 years that I can do this efficiently.

    I am sure you can also find other writers who can do the same.
    Having said that, why would you choose a niche you know nothing about and build a business around it?

    • Usually because some course or WSO instructs them to apply the results from [insert name of current hot keyword tool] and use a couple of mechanical rules to determine "easy" niches with lots of searches and low competition. Outdated courses and WSOs will then recommend getting an exact match domain name and building a site around it.

  • Where are you looking for writers?
  • Why do you think a writer can't learn about your niche? That's part of a writer's job, hello...

    Plus, you say you don't know much about the niche, so how could you tell the difference between well researched material and poorly researched material?

    Just to give you a tip: you should choose a writer based on his writing ability and research ability, not by how much knowledge he has in the niche, unless you really have a lot of writers to choose from, which is rare.

    • Personally, I prefer the more saturated and highly competitive niches for content marketing, which avoids such a dilemma.

      Surely there are publications covering your niche. Consider contacting writers of relevant articles in those publications for republishing rights and/or paid articles.
  • I would sure think so. Look for someone who can research and write.

    • This ^^^^^^.

      Given your first statement, and the OP's confessed lack of knowledge, how would one judge the writer's abilities? Especially since most of the articles people hire out don't appear under the paid writer's byline?

      Better to choose a writer with chops in the general field you're considering, even if that field isn't an exact match for the topic at hand. You stand a much better chance of landing a writer with the research skills needed, given that, by definition, you don't know enough to judge those skills directly.
  • If your niche is under chemical engineering, medical field or some other rare niche that involves lots of technacalities, yes a good writer + researcher can write general information about what it is, but when it comes to technicalities how would they even explain it? Yes they might, but your credibility is in the line here. You can't just publish an article without you validating if what he/she write is true or not, valid or misleading or it doesn't make any sense at all.

    • When I was freelancing I had two very big assignments and knew absolutely nothing about either one going in. One was writing sales copy for a complex software program. The other was writing promotional material for a solar energy startup company.

      By the time I was finished with both projects I would probably have been considered an expert. Both parties that hired me were long standing experts. Each commented that the stuff I wrote for them appeared to be authored by one of their own. The solar startup hired me for an additional pile of work after the first gig.

      That's what good writers do. They get it done. But this kind of writing doesn't come cheap.

    • Those type of niches really aren't "rare" at all. Quite the contrary. You need to specify credentials when searching for writers in fields that require specialized training. Consider contacting some of the writers in relevant trade publications or local undergrad/graduate university students majoring in the specialty you are targeting. But, as mentioned previously, this kind of writing ain't cheap.
  • Warrior Forum is a great place to find quality writers. Cheap, Fast and Quality articles.

  • Finding a writer is easy. Why don't YOU become the writer? How many pages do you want your product to be? 100+ pages? If you want 100-pages, just do 10 pages a day, and you'll be done within the next 10 days. Or outsource it... and risk the final product being filled with grammatical errors that YOU have to go back and fix. By the time you're done doing this, you might as well have written the product yourself.
  • This is tough. If you are planning on trying to make money on something by creating a new website, your best bet is to have something already scoped out. You should plan on what you are trying to do with that website and learn the information behind it. If you don't know your own business then you won't really know how to make it successful. Some guy can do research all day long and write articles, doesn't mean the site is going to be profitable. Anything you go into should have care and knowledge already backed into so you can find the right person to help... Just my two cents.
  • Find a writer for the specific niche. You can find a lot from the Warriors for Hire section. I am a writer myself. Starting out is never easy but then reading and researching really helps. Send me a message if you have the same problems until now. Maybe I can help you out.
