Which ghostwriter or article writing service is best?

I am looking for professional article writers / services (expert in network marketing / self improvement niche)

I have heard about the following
getmecontent.com
http://www.articlesandbeyond.com
http://articlecontentprovider.com/

Can anyone recommend a good one?
Thanks for helping.

 

getmecontent now way you can read this thread -> http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=4406596 . A lot of us got scammed .

Rest i haven't tried but DO NOT TRY getmecontent

 

stay well away from articlecontentprovider...the guy behind it a scammer!!

 

I've never tried having someone else write content for me. Does it work?

 

These guys >> http://www.coopermurphywebb.com/

I have worked a lot of times with them and very happy. They offer unlimited revisions until you satisfy with quality of content.

 

Which guy?

If you're going to call someone a scammer you should offer up some kind of evidence. Who did he scam? What did he do? Who did he do it to? Etc. etc. Just throwing out a blanket statement that the sky is falling doesn't do anyone any good.

Secondly, I'm the operations manager for ACP and I wouldn't be here if there was any scam going on. We charge our clients a reasonable fee for original, keyword-rich content. It's a valuable service that many website owners and webmasters need and we provide the service. We provide an excellent service for a good price and we try to take measures to hire the best copywriters. Unfortunately, we've had a few that didn't meet our standards for content so we got rid of them. The sad part is that we found out they weren't good content writers after we hired them. We are constantly putting measures in place, however, to ensure that we deliver good content to our clients, including running every article through Copyscape to ensure no plagiarism or stolen content gets through our hands.

Our hundreds of customers can attest to our skills and ethics. We do not scam. We are honest with our customers and have turned away good business just because we have felt that what the customer wanted to do wasn't feasible. Many businesses would have just taken their money and given them what they wanted. We believe solid advice based on years of experience is better than a bad plan based on a whim so we give advice that we think will help people succeed online in the long run. I challenge anyone to find the scam in that.

I'll also direct you to our website at www.articlecontentprovider.com and our blog at www.articlecontentprovider.com/article-marketing-blog for more information on our company. You are also free to call or e-mail us at any time as we have no axe to grind. We're just interested in doing good business with good people and do our best to meet their content needs.

need-an-article is good site . You will get some good articles there , plus price is also modest around $5 .

 

After posting here, I have received several offers to help me with article writing, I have actually tried out a few but so far I am not too happy with the results.
Most seem to be generated from some article rewriting software as the sentences do not connect well with each other.

Is it better to engage an individual or a company with a pool of writers?

Also may I know is it violating copyright if I get content from 3-4 copyrighted articles and rewrite from there?

Any advise and recommendation is appreciated.

need-an-article seems good but I don't understand why there's monthly fees when they are already charging $6/article.

 

Mel, I'm not familiar with that company, but if they are charging monthly fees they are likely generating articles with computer software. This is not recommended.

When ordering article content it is imperative that you ensure all of your content is original. PLR articles are the least desirable way to go. Even if someone rewrites them they can show up as duplicate content because some writers will not do an extensive enough rewrite to make it worthwhile.

There are three primary considerations to look at when hiring a copywriter, whether you choose an individual or a company:

• Skills of the writer
• Cost of the writing
• Delivery time

Some writers charge $50 for an article and they write excellent articles, but is that in budget? Other writers charge $1 or $2 per article, but write articles that have to be edited extensively due to poor grammar, bad spelling, etc. Ideally, you want someone who can crank out articles quickly at a good price and that are well-written articles. You definitely want a real writer to write them, not a computer software program.

 

Hi poetwarrior,

Thanks for the inputs. I personal have purchased some article rewriting software and after using the software I still have to do extensive rewrites. I just don't have time for that.

I went to your website at articelcontentprovider, the salespage mentioned that
"We write Articles of 500-600 words for as little as $15 per article on large orders"
May I know what is the quantity of a large order?

 

Sure, Mel.

Our $15 articles are for an order of 100+ articles at one time. That means you order 100 articles and pay for them when you order them. We'll write them according to your schedule as long as it is reasonable. We send you an article order form so you can tell us your keywords. That way we are better able to get you the content you are looking for. We guarantee the articles are free of plagiarism and run every article you order through Copyscape to ensure this. We encourage you to do the same. If you'd like to know more feel free to contact me through me through e-mail or private message and we can get you a quote based on your needs. We also write website content, blog content, and perform other services like PPC management, SEO, and consulting for website owners. Whatever you decide to do, I hope you find a content provider who is respectable and ethical and who will be straight with you, as we will.

 

GetContent.com charges $24.95 per 400 word page, and they offer a free article upon request so that you can see their services before making a purchase.

They can also handle volume orders and have written for me on various subjects.

 

Go with an individual writer who has significant experience in your niche. Companies usually just work with "generalists" who research articles and write them (why so many end up giving rewritten content on some level or nothing beyond regurgitated Web research that you can find all over the place). Rewording of the same material isn't the same as "unique" content.

Yes, it's violating copyright (at least in the US) if you rewrite someone else's work. No amount of a piece can be rewritten and published without the copyright holder's expressed permission. Even rewording the material 100% isn't enough to get you off the legal hook in some cases. Unless you're rewriting PLR articles where you have permission to do so, you're violating copyright law if you do it.

 

Question: If it can be found "all over the place," how is it "violating copyright?"

Good research is good research whether it is done by an individual copywriter working alone or a copywriter that works for a company. I learned in college that research based on more than one source is better than research based on only one source. As a journalist who has written a lot of news stories, I have discovered that this is absolutely necessary in order to validate and corroborate statements and information provided by sources. What's more, I have met many a lone freelancer who didn't produce the same quality as some writers who work for a company. I think the choice between an individual and a company is based more on economics, reputation, quality, and, of course, the preferences of the person doing the hiring.

 

The information being found all over the place is what makes something not unique. Readers don't want to keep coming across the same general info... they want something worthwhile. Generalists can rarely provide that. What's violating copyright is "rewriting" not researching. No amount of rewriting gets you off the hook from being pursued legally.

Research is definitely important, but an article written from nothing but Web research (the way most Web content writers put together researched articles) isn't good research. Good research comes from official sources, interviews with contacts in the industry, professional journals that only people within a field normally have access to, etc. Again, specialists can provide better content, because in this case they'll have access to better research materials than what's simply already "out there" for the general public. And frankly, I've yet to find a single company paying their writers enough for them to justify that kind of primary research necessary for top quality work (even those charging clients $25 or so per article can't pay writers enough out of that to justify it).

You're right; there are many lone freelancers who produce complete crap. That's again why I suggest going with specialists. They know their material, and often have more professionally at risk if they screw over clients with lousy articles (lose their reputation in their niche, and they're back to square one).

It often does come to economics; you're right about that. Many companies offer much lower rates than professional niche specialists, so they're more appealing. However, the quality rarely compares. Then again, not all webmasters are worried about getting the best quality as long as the text doesn't get them caught by a duplicate content filter. It comes down to their goals. But in the OP's case, the goal is very clear... hiring an expert in a niche; not a generalist or company that works with several.

 

jhmattern is one of the best writer on DP.

 

Thanks. But I don't take on webmaster writing projects anymore outside of copywriting (not the same as article writing) and PR writing (press releases, press rooms, etc.). I keep my articles on a few larger sites, private company newsletters, and my own sites these days. There are definitely some great content writers here though (DeniseJ, InternetAuthor, Latoya, MaryMary, and quite a few others... there's another thread in the copywriting area with a lot of them listed).

 

Hey guys, gals, I am the NEW owner of getmecontent.com I am not here to promote, but to clear up any misconceptions and rumors that persist about getmecontent.com I did purchase the site in late December with the intention of improving things. Before we bought the site, we knew of course that the quality was lacking and there had been problems with orders being filled, and that basically it was a mess. We have updated the site to reflect varying qualities of writing so that people know exactly what they are getting before they order. We have new samples on the site that reflect the three quality levels that are now an option. I personally don’t want people expecting one thing and getting another when they order, and not coming back, or having a bad impression because they feel that have been misled. This is the reason for being very clear about the quality and delivery times as they are now in effect on the site. We have spelled it out very clearly on the site as to what to expect depending on what you order. As the new owner I just wanted to have some input here, and let people know that there is a new team behind the domain name. For those of you who may still be angry with previous ownership, I hope you can understand that the past has absolutely nothing to do with the current situation at our site. We are working with people on an individual basis as this is what it is going to take to rebuild the reputation of getmecontent. Greg T.
