    Hello All:

    A good friend from my media days is now running a cool service that some of you may need. They specialize in PR, and have a division that writes blog/web articles 'for hire.' (One of the owners has some monetized sites and understands how we operate.)

    Address is in my sig.

    Looks like a press release writing company. $200 for a blog article . . . is he kidding? Seems like a bit of a rip-off to me.

    They specialize in press releases, as well as news articles. Their prices are actually less than the competition.

    In regards to $200 for a blog article. Well, you get what you pay for. In the real world of journalism, a 400 word article by a talented writer for $200 is a steal. They've been writing blog articles for eight months now (in fact, several DP and Earner's Forum members have used their services) and not one complaint.

    Writers are like carpenters. The good ones stay busy and charge premium rates. The others, well, they are free to lowball, and the work shows.

    Rip off? No, it's called market demand, and they're meeting it. You may not pay it, but many are.

    Incidentally, they did a press release for one of my niche sites and I booked a national syndicated radio show as a result.

    Meaning what, that I'm marketing their services by posting in forums like this one?

    Short answer..yes, my earlier post in this thread is meant to hype their company. One of the partners is a buddy of mine and I believe in the service.

    Anyone that has a signature that pumps a site or service does the exact same thing, including you.

    Now, did I join DP or EF or other forums specifically to pump their service? Nope. I'm just an earner and contributor, mainly in the affiliate threads.
