article writingOkay, so you have your targeted keywords, you know how many articles you will need and you have decided to either outsource or to write your articles.

If you are going to outsource, let me give you a few pointers.

1.  Expect to pay anywhere from $3 – $7 per article.  The cheaper the rate, the lesser the quality.  You can get good articles for $5.  You will pay a bit more if you go beyond 500 words.  Rewrites should be a few bucks a piece.

2.  Expect to go through a few writers.  Good writers can be hard to come by.  I have taken my fair share of lumps trying different writers.

3.  Try the Warrior Forums if you need a good selection of writers at a good price.

I gotta tell you, take it to heart when I say that you may go through quite a few writers before finding one that you really click with. You could get a bunch of crap back from some writers. Don’t waste days haggling over rewrites. Touch it up yourself and move on to a new writer with a quickness. And, whatever you do, do not go giving a new writer 25 articles to write for you for a project that you need quality writing for. The last thing you want is 25 articles that you 100% can tell were not written by some fluid in your own language!

Now, if you are going to write your own articles, don’t over think the process.  I used to over think the process and spend inordinate amounts of time coming up with my own articles.  Now, mainly sue to frustration, I have gotten this thing down pretty good.

By now, you should have a good idea of how you are going to use this content.
