My idea is to buy unique articles 3-5 per day and just uploading them on Ezine... Do you guys know some people who are in this type of business (writing and selling unique articles) ? Did you ever test this? And I need to know do you think this is a good idea??? Thanks in advance Baster
I know that http://www.cyberhubonline.com/ is really cheap. I have used them before and they do a darn good job for their low prices. Anyway, you could do this, BUT to maintain the rank of the article up in the search engines, you will need to do keyword research and you will need a sufficient amount of backlinks (e.g. social bookmarking etc...), which will help you to rank and stay there for longer. This is all I know, but I am sure that the posts below from others will assist you too.
Yeah I did it once. My articles have around 30-50% CTR and I ussualy get a sale for every 1-2 articles I write. I bought 30 articles once for $100 thinking that even if the conversion rate was much worse then mine, for example 1 sale per 5 articles I would still make nice money (the product pays $32 commision). Well it turned out that the CTR was under 10% for most of the articles I bought and I did not make a single sale... But I have to admit it was a cheap Indian writer who turned out to be outsourcing the work further. The grammar sucked, sentence structure sucked, some of the word choices were ridiculous ("So here are some of the advices which if you follow then there are chances that you can reconnect with that lost love and make it yours again") and the articles were not written in a pre-sell manner. I did not test outsourcing articles anymore after this experience. Maybe it is possible but you definitely need a native english speaker to write them for you!
Yeah I know... My problem is writing articles so I should tell my writer to include the keywords in the text so the keywords can be targeted and to get higher rank in the search engines right? Let me know
how can you even ask that, being on DP forum yourself? Ever took a look at the buy/sell section here? Add: I need to add, its EXTREMELY hard to find good quality writers who write at a reasonable price. You might get 30 offers, but 28 of them you can forget - no way such articles would ever get accepted on ezine.
What seems to be the problem with getting articles accepted on Ezine? I have been hearing lots of rumbling from the ranks on several forums about getting articles declined, even old ones being taken off. I have over 700, and not a one declined yet! Is it really that tough?
Writing and selling articles. There are many DP members in this business myself included. If your looking for a writer can I give you some unbiased advice. Please use this list and ask questions. 1. Do you have any sample articles for me to review? 2. What are your IM and or email programs that you use? 3. Turnaround time? How long will it take you to get my articles done? 4. Do you outsource any work? 5. Are your rates and turnaround time negotiable? The sample is a must because knowing how the writer write when it comes to quality is very important to your success. Any writer that can not be contacted through IM or email should not be used by anyone. A quick turnaround is important if your working with deadlines. Writers who outsource have no control over quality. Flexibility to clients is always nice. It is important to understand what your client needs and wants are. Just a little help before you hire a writer.
I didn't say there are problems with articles getting declined (although it can happen occasionally) - rather the problem to hire someone for articles, you PAY them...and then you STILL have to hand-edit them because the writing is just unacceptable. I am aware that many of the writers are (eg. from here on the forum) are not native english speakers - but sometimes i think they really think that their articles are perfect and probably dont even know that their articles do indeed read "odd"...some more...some less. Some articles can be hideous, despites assurance that "we write perfect english articles using perfect english grammar" This is a problem since eg. EZA has a very high quality standard - furthermore, even if such articles would be accepted, its questionable whether they would sell anything. I can tell you, its REALLY hard to find good "cheap" writers, and if you DO actually find some you better chain them down in your basement..yes, they are THAT rare
Cheap vs. Affordable, is there a difference or what is the relationship between the two. It is true that there are quite a few non-native English writers here on the forum. If you feel that your not getting the work that you paid for, then you should let your writer know this. I for one offer to correct any article that a client does not like. I do my absolute best on what I write. If it is not up to your standards then I will work harder to please my clients.
I think it depends what you're using the articles for. If they're meant to bring you traffic and sales then as mentioned above you will struggle to get someone who can do them to the quality you require for this. However, if you just want to post a bunch of articles around the internet for backlinks to your main site - to rise in the search engines then outsourcing the writing can be a decent option - if you don't care about immediate traffic and just want the long term boost in google..
I'm afraid this is probably right. Especially with EZA being as strict as they've been getting recently. (Of course, you can buy articles with EZA-acceptance guaranteed, but they cost more.)
First, I'll admit that it is a good idea. But you can't hope to make money by simply submitting articles. There is much more that you have to do. The articles do need some editing. They are not always perfect even if you get native writers. I'm not talking about grammatical errors here. There is more that needs to be done. Once you start doing what you plan, you will come across little things that need to be done. People here are only going to discourage you to NOT do this, especially those that are really doing this. Everyone fears competition To sum up, you have to figure out most things yourself by trying out and failing many times. I have had some problems getting articles accepted on ezine. But that was due to excess keyword density & "content not related to title" and things like that. Overall, there is no such thing like they will ban you or they hate affiliate marketers. Just submit original articles that are 100% unique, not the 70% unique rewrites of other articles. You will be fine!! For rest of the things, spend some time searching this forum. You will find a lot of useful stuff. Edit: Sorry, I don't agree with this. Just spend a minute to check the article before submitting. You won't have any problem.
ROFL I've had similar sentences in some of the articles I had written! The last thing you want is to have to go through every article and check it for grammar errors etc, I use elance and have found some very good article writers on there for a reasonable price.
One way which can help to improve the quality is to write the articles yourself first and pay for rewrites. It seems then if their skills are poor and the articles are cheap even they can copy what you have written and rewrite it a bit easier than thinking about and writing a whole article from scratch, but there aren't really any such thing as $1-2 quality articles... it's a myth
Its all done on how many words, normally a 500 word article is best - price range $8 - $15 I would think for a quality writer.
Ok guys, Can you help me find what I'm looking for? That's a quality writer with not such a big prices. My goal is to achieve $100 per week... So please help me... Thanks
I am curious: It has been mentioned in this thread that articles on sites like EZA get ~50% clickthrough rate. Are the articles visible for only a short period of time and then the traffic dies off? Do articles expire or do they stay on EZA and similar sites forever? How much profit does each article generate, on average? That's how I would look at it, rather than aiming to make $100 per week... 'cause if there's a decent ROI on this, I would always find capital to invest and make more money.
