Do you write your own articles, or do you outsource?

    I'm wondering how many of you write your own articles, and who gave up and decided to outsource. If you did outsource, how did you find your writer?

    I'm writing articles by myself - but I'm outsourcing some backlinking to someone through ODesk.

    I may consider outsourcing my writing in the future though...

    outsource, saves me time and money.
    on the long run, the time you spend writing will cost more than you pay for other writers.

    I outsource, I am a SEO not a writer.

    I however did write my own content until I was making enough revenue to outsource, which is what I think most people do -- unless they happen to also be an author who loves writing.

    It takes only 20-30 mintues to write an articles. If you do not have huge requirements, you can write by your self.

    I write myself and also employ my unemployed friends (university educated in English to write for me). Works out to be nice for all of us. :)

    At the moment we write all of our articles ourselves - I studied History/Politics at university so I still like to put it to some good use :)

    I write my own articles... I've tried outsourcing multiple times in the past but I find that I end up having to rewrite them anyway because they are of poor quality. Now that I'm focusing primarily on niches that I actually know a lot about and enjoy writing about anyway - I find that writing my own articles is easier and I'm also able to write much higher quality articles than the garbage that fills the internet - so I think that helps my articles stand out from the crowd.

    Write my own as I know more about my business than anyone who I could outsource to and I love to write. Have considered outsourcing and tried it twice- results were like me writing about sub molecular physics. Dismal, at best.

    Outsourcing save time and money in the long run as we can be focused on SEO and not writing, however there are risks of duplicate and copied content

    Both, some articles I like to do myself. Depends on the topic and how I plan on using the article (onsite, article submission, link building, etc).
    I usually spend about $200 - 300 a month on outsourcing.

    I write myself and then spin using magic article rewriter. I can then create loads of different version which I post to the top 10 directories. Never takes too long and I get good links and traffic that way.

    I write articles like once a week, and spin them for the rest of the month.
    I don't have time writing 2 articles a day.
