    Guys,

    I am looking for article writers, see other posts, but what is with all this $5 per article stuff? No one can write a quality article for $5 and afford to feed themselves.

    So are they written using special software that compiles them, doing 100s of articles a minute or what?

    I have tried some of the $5 offers and they were worthless. At least for a professional business to use as marketing material.

    So are there any 'real' writers out there, I'd be glad to hear from you. Not meaning to be offensive, just frustrated with the offers so far.

    Before you accept anyones offer, read thier posts...see how they reply, do they mess up on their words? Do they use improper english?
    I have found good $5.00 articles, but I ask for samples, and after they are done I do searches on the internet to see if its been posted, just take snippets from here and there and search them.
    Good Luck

    just remember my line:

    "there's no cheap QUALITY articles that price under $5"

    my rate is legitimate for what i'm writing about.

    It depends. Sometimes even a $3 article is worth it.

    yeah you are right....but if the writers get very less time and bulk of work to submit and more over with less appreciation of their work, the quality has to go down.....

    pm has been sent regarding the curiosity of working with you....

    reply awaited...

    You *can* sometimes get quality work cheap - if you find someone who's just starting out, for whom building their reputation (and iTrader!) is at least as important as the $$$.

    But yeah, usually (on forums like this, as in life in general), you get what you pay for...

    Mate, your post only means you have been contacted by scammers, or beginners, not Professional writers.

    My price is also $5 per 500 word article. And I provide quality stuff to all my clients (check my itrader, for their response). If you want to check my samples, PM.

    IF, after seeing the quality of my work, you are willing to pay me a higher price, then I would be gladly willing to accept it. But that will be only when I have delivered quality content in my articles.

    Let me know if you are interested,

    Regards,

    Kunal

    Just tell me, How much money are you willing to bet to defend your statement. Dude, you are new to DP, so dont or claim what you can not rely upon. I charge $5 per 500 words, and Only my clients can prove that the quality of my articles is second to none.

    Regards,

    This kind of offends me as an article writer. Not that you're willing to pay a higher price, but the fact that you assume that everyone who charges $5.00 for a 500 word article is a crap writer. My services come in at $5.50 an article and I've not served a customer yet who has been dissatisfied. You can check my signatures for samples of my writing.

    So why is my price lower? Because I generally enjoy what I write about. I don't do this as a living, I do it to earn money for my hobbies. Therefore, I don't take jobs I know I won't enjoy. This is good for two reasons. If I like the subject, you can be guaranteed the quality of my articles is going to be great, and because I like the subject, it's easier for me to provide a faster turnaround on articles. That being said, if you'd like to see quality work for a great price. I can show it to you.

    I would be interested in righting a very high detailed good 1000 words article for $20(£10 postal order from the UK postoffice or moneybookers). It will take 3 days to complete the article.

    Day one: Looking up the subject and taking in the detail of the suject.
    Day two: Write the article.
    Day three: Review the article in the morning if any areas are looking at all damaged i will rewrite the area or areas lacking.

    Please advise me if you are interested.

    Many Thanks,

    Ian Bayliss

    I bet you a 300 word article (written by loser) that you can find a quality article writer for $0.01, but that's just the problem: finding them. The ones who do charge 1c per word are usually inadequate writers or don't know how to market themselves correctly. I would say there are plenty of quality writers on here who are undercharging for their writing, but generally, no, you can't get quality articles for $0.01 per word.

    Oh dear! Please tell me you are joking!

    Well if you want more, the first step is asking. Of course your writing has to be good, but if you only ask for $0.01 per word, you'll only get $0.01. Basic, yes, but very meaningful.

    You can sit there for as long as you like, days, weeks, years even, without realising that if you have talent then you should make people pay more for it. There will only ever be a change in price for quality writers if there is a movement of the quality writers raising their rates. This way people who purchase content have two choices: get rubbish content from rubbish writers at $0.01 per word, or push the boat out and get some decent writing at some proper prices.

    There are some good $5 articles and some lousy ones, you just have to know what to look for. I buy a lot of articles in dp and that is the range of what I usually pay unless it is something that requires a lot of research. I can usually tell from their posts and article titles if the work is going to be up to par or not.
    There are a lot of content writers in here that have to compete for business so that works in my favor..

    Also I don't put much stock in itraders. I ordered some reviews recently from someone who had over 50 excellent itraders for writing, and what was delivered to me was pure crap, so bad I couldn't use them. Thankfully he was good enough to refund my money.

    Lastly, I try not to to deal with non native english writers because they all think they can write good articles, but the truth is most of them can't. No offense to those who can, that's just been my personal experience. It is just easier for me to find one or two people who I know I can trust, and try to deal with them exclusively.
