5 Signs You've Hired A Bad Freelance Writer

    Lately, a lot of people have been complaining about the quality of writing they, as buyers, have found here on DP Forums. I'm a firm believer in the statement, "You get what you pay for." I'm also a firm believer in the fact that paying in pennies leaves you no room to complain.

    That said, I came across this blog entry today that I wanted to pass along to all you content buyers out there. It highlights some very good points about gauging a writer's ability and some common red flags you should look out for.

    It's not my blog. It's not my writing. I'm not affiliated with it in any way. It's just some good information that I feel like could benefit lots of people here on DP Forums.

    Well said, and thanks for the link. It's mostly because of those "article farmers" that there's a substandard competition in the writing field.

    Good of you to share this. Article farmers are totally spoiling the business. When someone takes on a client and promises to complete a project, outsourcing the work to other people is just unethical. Also, beware of people who say ''I have a team of writers''. They are nothing but article farmers with a huge IM list of school kids who can't compose a proper sentence.
