    Yes, especially people who can write fast and well in native English. I'm just burned out myself, so soon I'll be looking for more reliable writers.

    Peace,
    Stephanie

    But buyers aren't willing to pay what they should...

    Buyers will pay what you demand but you have to demand it and explain why. You know that every 10 articles you write for yourself you'll make money. Let's say you write 10 articles of 500 words each for $10 each that's a cool $100 in your pocket, BUT your client will submit those articles to dozens of sites loaded with links to his products and make $1,000 a month easy and then resell those articles as a PLR package and make more.

    Only a fool would buy cheap articles from a hack writer. The quality will be so low that your conversion rates will suffer. If you're a client and you know what you're doing you know full well that every $10 you spend on content you will at a minimum make 10 times that once you post that content with your upsell data. Any client or webmaster that doesn't understand that is either inexperienced or a danged fool.

    Writers shouldn't overprice themselves either. You know your bottom line. Demand and show you will do quality work and communicate with the client and accommodate them 110%. Meet your deadlines and work WITH the client. Your client has to have their overhead low so they get a greater ROI but content, quality content has been and will always be king.

    Are you implying $10 for 500 words is good money? And it's not that "easy" to make $1,000 a month from article marketing.

    The key is "excellent writers". There are more than enough content writers to meet the demands, it's just that not many of them are very good. But people often go for the path of least resistance (ie. cost).

    True - a big part of the problem is that many people trying to be online marketers (and content buyers) have about as much business savvy as the average peanut, and they make the fundamental mistake of treating content as a commodity rather than an investment. It makes about as much sense as buying a certain stock just because it's cheap. But it's alright folks - rest assured, the people hiring $2 article hacks are not making millions of dollars. Cutting corners on content always comes back to haunt them.

    I agree. I always noticed about the high demand jobs for writers. Not just ordinary writers but those writers who are excellent at writing articles creatively with original contents.

    Yes that is true. Content writing is viral on the Web. Usually it costs about $10 for a 400-500 word piece. Though one needs to factor in the research efforts too, but this is the thumb rule I try to follow.

    I recently found this steps:
    1. Copy and paste your Private Label article into a new file in your text editor.
    2. Write a short introduction to the article, explaining what's in it and what your reader can expect to learn from it.
    3. Half-way through the article, break the flow with a short editorial comment or a summary of what's been said until then, or 'preview' of what's coming.
    4. At the end of the Private Label article, briefly summarize the primary message of the article, add a link to resources with more information or simply thank readers for visiting and invite them back.
    5. The finished Private Label article will be completely unique, and significantly different from all other owners of the same content.
