Opinions about good article writers and where to find them

[cbielich]

I want to hire out to someone who can write some good quality articles for my site. First has anyone had experience with this and do you recommend this. Also are there any ideas where I could start in looking for this. Websites? Freelance? Let me know

Hi Cesar,

You can try sites like vworker.com and elance to find good writers. I suggest reviewing their writing samples in detail to get an idea of their writing quality and style. You can also try posting ads on craigslist under the "writing/editing" section.

I've used elance before too and I agree with Cesar to make sure you check their writing sample.  You can always try a person out with one article and see how it goes and then determine if they are the "write" fit for your company.

I would also hit up the local university for students in journalism.  It's a win win for both of you.  They get practice in writing and can show people their work, and you get the articles you need.

Lastly, Carl Dispoto has been asking a few questions on the forum on how to get started in article writing so I would check him out and see if he can help you too.

I have used several writers on elance, Ordering just a few to begin with & getting a sample is a good idea, I would love to say that i have been 100% happy with the quality of the articles, but as yet that is not the case so always looking for someone better.

Hi Cesar,

Try Textbroker - we've picked up some really good writers on there.

I recommending starting with some small projects, hire a few writers and see who is the best. Then you can assign the best ones larger projects and continue with those.

Thanks
