Your Favorite Outsourcers for Writing

20 replies
I have gotten to the point where I need to start outsourcing more. I outsource occasionally, but I need to do it more regularly to continue to grow my business. In particular, I'm looking for high-quality writers. I know places like Elance, Odesk, and Fiverr exist, so I'm not looking for those kinds of answers. I will be looking there too. However, I just wondered if anyone has used any other services or service providers that you can recommend?

    I like to write high-quality articles (wink wink, nudge nudge)

    I would also suggest looking in the Warriors for Hire section. You'll have a greater chance of finding quality writers in the WFH forum than on Odesk or Elance.

    I am also a writer. As has been suggested, you can check out the warriors for hire section here. You can also advertise in classified sites such as Gumtree and Craigslist. My WSO has more than 100 sites where people can find/advertise jobs and get the appropriate person so that may be worth considering too.

  • I know it would be a total disaster and frustrating to find for a writer who writes with passion. When you find one, it is like you got a diamond right within your own jewelry box. The time element of having to go through with different service providers, checking out their samples (of which most cases are written well but in reality they write crap), interviewing them, testing the waters out and to your dismay your article will not be delivered on time as promised.

    If you do not want to hurdle all the hassles of picking a writer who will be the person to go to when it comes to writing, I suggest you go to forums and other listing sites. You can check out Craigslist.org.

    Elance (Tip: Order the writers by user rating. I got my best writers this way.)
    Also try contacting decent forum posters that catch your eye in a related niche.

    Lol @ the self promotion. Can't really link from an iPod but search out these users: JaRyCu, danr62, and seatbelt99. Very talented writers and can be had for an absolute steal. I haven't seen many come close to them, and those that do aren't selling .

    Craigslist seems to have a good amount writing gigs put up daily. Mostly decent gigs are put up there so as a result maybe the writers browsing there might also be at least decent.

  • Well I found my best writer here in this forum. It depends on your niche though. I posted an thread in the Members Looking To Hire You section and I got a flood of responses from writers as well as some PM's (my inbox was full in like, half an hour) and I just sussed each one out, narrowed it down to a few and asked for sample articles. Then negotiated a price and it took off from there.

      Again, I don't mean to be rude, but I think we can make a reasonable assumption about quality at 3 articles for a dollar

    There are lots of freelance websites that caters thousands of different writers but it is always better to build your own team. Changing writers from time to time creates unexpected problems. It is not easy to build a team but for a long-term plan, it is strongly suggested....

    It takes me a year to find solid writers who assists me permanently....

    iwriter.com. Try to get those premium writers with 4.0+ rating to write for you. You can reject article if you're not satisfied and all articles are scanned with copyscape to ensure the article is original. A premium 500 words article will cost you $5, which is pretty cheap yet quality.

    I get pretty good work done on Freelancer. And rates are good. I even sourced some people for staff from there.

    Just be strict and clear in your instructions. Be firm on your price and don't be afraid to negotiate.
