    Where can I find someone willing to write a 500 word article for $1? I am planning on having 100 of them written and then more in the future. I need these to be in english to... they have to make sense.

    Anyone know where or how I can get that?

    No offense, but you are never going to get anything that even resembles quality content for that price. You wouldn't even get quality articles for $5. There may be writers out there who are willing to work for that amount of money, but, just like anything else, you get what you pay for.

    The most important thing to remember when it comes to outsourcing your writing is that the people you hire are going to be a direct reflection on you. Your name and your link is going to go on those $1 articles. Do you feel confident about that? Are you willing to put your reputation in the hands of a $1 writer?

    I use textbroker, but I pay more than $1, around $5. The quality can be really good you just need to find the right writer.

    I'm sure there are people with decent skills who might need extra cash for some 'unexpected' bill that just came up, but I would still expect to find that for no less than $5 an article.

    I'm a copywriter, but there was a time, not so long ago either when I wrote articles for $5. I had kids to feed and bills to pay. Those clients evolved with me as I began to build a name as a copywriter, and they hired me to write their copy too.

    I would be concerned about the quality of the article for $1. Have you thought of purchasing some PLR articles and spinning them.

    This is pretty much where the buck stops here. A dollar won't do you much good.

    You really do pay price for article. I think 500 words is way too much for only a dollar.. Maybe you should negotiate with a few writers since you do need like 100 articles. Good luck!

    "Quality" and "$1" doesn't go together when it comes to article writing. I agree with everyone else here. You might get some people to write your articles, but the quality will suffer. Think about the time and effort involved to do even some basic research and you will understand why this is not going to work.

    Having said that, take a quick look around (this forum /freelance sites etc.), you might get lucky.

    All the best.

    YEah $1 per Original article is bit low but I am sure you can find such people on getafreelancer

    However if you just want someone to rewrite an existing article, I am sure you can find more people

    If your looking for a price like that its going to come from an Eastern country...No offense meant here what so ever, but I simple mean its going to be from a country where English is not the first language....so I agree with people here - in essence it's simply not worth the savings for the quality of the article you are going to get.

    I agree with most of the people who have replied here - quantity and quality are two different elements in bulk article writing - you can get them fast and cheap, or you can get quality articles that you would be proud to have promoting your sites. That said there are sites like getafreelancer that will have people on there that would write the 100 articles for $100 but I would be worried about whether it was original content; easy to read; written in proper conversational English and basically on topic.

    If you want good original content then use a freelancer that has excellent feedback and always ask to see samples or prior work before hiring them. Be prepared to pay a bit more (I do think $5 per 500 words is fair) and insist on a revision process. Use a service like CopyScape to ensure the content you are buying is original and if you are putting this information on your site, or using it with your name on it make sure that you read every word of every article you have bought to ensure they make sense and are providing accurate information.

    I hope this helps
