    Advertise virtually anything here, with CPM banner ads, CPM email ads and CPC contextual links. You can target relevant areas of the site and show ads based on geographical location of the user if you wish.

    Starts at just $1 per CPM or $0.10 per CPC.

    Hi Guys,
    Iam recently setup a website for content writers to sell their services.


    But for some reason, its hard to attract content writers. I know the site is new and will take some time to get orders but i need writers to post first in order for me to sell them.

    Need some help...

    Are there people who help market, how can i outsource this.??

    Thanks in advance

    That's an extremely competitive industry. It will take time to gather the traffic. I'll spread the word for you, though. Don't give up if this is your dream!

    You need to look at your credibility and how well known you are in the market. Before they sign on with you they want to be sure that they will get paid even if you don't - and they want to be sure you can get enough work for them because signing up with you will take time and effort.

    If you aren't getting many bites then I'd say you need to advertise more and potentially be more targeted in your advertising.

    What is the URL for your site? I'd like to take a look at it and maybe see what kind of jobs are on there. Getting someone to do a review might be a good step in the right direction, but sarahk is right, people want to know they can make money.

    What incentive do they have to sign up to your services or use your site when there's plenty of established marketplaces out there for them to do so which already have traffic and customers?

    Places like ODesk, Elance, EGuru, Freelancer, PeoplePerHour, Warrior Forum, Digital Point, BHW, Traffic Planet, Wicked Fire and probably hundreds more specialised places.

    If you don't have a solid reason for them to use your site and a ton of people ready to purchase then there's no reason for them to even consider it

    I agree these are good places to go to find content writers especially since you can contact writers specifically and find writers based upon their payment preference so you have an easier time determining budget. This may be a tedious task though as freelancers are known to come and go.

    If I may add, you just have to spend more time in marketing your site and let it be known to writers around.
    Also, make sure to invite writers from this forum or from other platforms to try using your site to sell their work.
    I'm pretty sure there's more willing and able writers to try this out.
    Good luck.

    Creating writing contest may be a good idea.

    There are too many writers getting scammed and not paid for their work.

    I think you need to establish your reputation first.

    Lovely Website by the way!

    Get authority figures to write reviews! Post on established sites (even Warrior Forum).

    You can pay a minimum amount to publish article to your site or you can make a bundle offer that you first buy article from content writer then offer to sell a bundle on your site.
