    well Im a content writer and can provide you with articles on a regular basis. Simly put, you can easily go ahead and purchase articles, but they might not be up to the mark of what you need.

    Sorry i meant how do you protect yourself when buying lots of articles. Lets say i buy 100 articles, i CS them, and they are fine. I need 10 days to upload all of them, whats stopping the article author from selling them again in the next 7 days?
    Was wondering about strategies when buying articles?
    #kofadije, sorry i have already found article writers.
    #Justin_Dupre i already use fiverr for various things, but articles aint one of them :).

    did you mean that you want unique written article ??
    You can order it from trusted member and make an agreement that they will not upload or sell the article again....

    Before you are a content writer you should really work on your grammer and spelling, lol:
    "Well, I'm a content writer and can provide you with articles on a regular basis. Simply put, you can easily go ahead and purchase articles, but they might not be up to the mark of what you need."

    It comes down to trust. If you find a trusted copy writer - and you might well do - you could both have a bright future ahead.

    I don't think you can completely be safe, it's always based on trust. So, you need to use writers who you can trust. Check out testimonials if you haven't used the writers before.

    Make sure they know they can't sell them again, and continually check the content. If you find they have sol it again, file a paypal dispute immediately because they've broken their part of the contract.

    I agree with some folks here. If you don't know the person it all comes down to trust. I have written many articles over the years and have seen people steal them over and over without giving me credit for them.. so yeah.. sometimes not even your own articles are safe. :-/

    Best of luck!

    Hi there,

    If you're requirement is 10 articles per day, you can hire a person whom you personally known or can trust. But if ever you can't find anyone directly, you can look for freelance writer at odesk, freelancer, elance..

    Do you have time to do it yourself? If they are all in the same niche and you're merely looking to pump out content you can knock up a solid article in 10/15 mins, from here it's just a case of rewriting that particular article and submitting.

    If you definitely want to outsource and have completely unique high qulaity material then it's going to cost you. Place an ad on the websites suggested previously and pick your choice of bidders.

    Good luck.

    Search for a freelancer in a freelancer site. There you can find plenty of freelancer. Some may offer $10-$50 per article. :)

    I think it's tough to trust anybody online, let alone someone claiming to be a native English speaker. I don't even trust "testimonials." I've seen people make their own sites with "testimonials" from "real people". I've seen forums where the people giving the "testimonials" WORK for the person they are giving a thumbs up to. You basically take a gamble every time working with people online...just my two cents. BTW, I'm new to this forum, but there's some pretty good info.

    I'm just saying that I tend not to trust anybody. I also tend not to trust the fact that you are going to get 100% unique articles when paying for them, but that's fine. It limits the work. As far as being a platinum EZine Platinum Author, I don't even trust those accolades because let's face it...you can do whatever you want online if you do it right. I know people who have personally achieved that status and don't always write their own articles. So to me, it doesn't mean much. Also you can pay people to give testimonials. Check out fiverr.com for proof. I'm not trying to say that you are not legit, because I'm sure you are. I am just saying I don't take people for their word in real life, much less online...

    If I ever get to the point of being overwhelemed by writing, I will probably outsource and then modify them myself.

    Try to hire writers and get the work done.Put an agreement with them.Still your contents might leak but that is the nature of people and internet.

    This is all about trust, but most of the writers deliver articles first and then ask for payment, so you are on the safer side.
