    I write mostly everything myself, or pay someone authoritive on the topic.

    An article I spend 5 minutes on is going to be better than one written by an outsourcing company. I don't understand why people use those bozos. They can't type decent English and they don't know anything about the topics they are writing about. What they do is read articles written by Americans and Europeans and they rewrite them. The end result SUCKS almost every time, but what did you expect to get when you paid $2 for it? And don't fool yourself into thinking you are getting something good. You aren't.

    A writer authoritive on the topic is going to cost you $20 to $100+ per article.

    Always outsourcing. Two reasons. My English is not perfect. Saves time. All you have to do is to spend time finding a good writer who charges accetable price and is reliable (makes all jobs by the due date). I have couple of them on my list and I can't be happier at this point :)

    Both by myself and outsource. and it depends on my ability...
    If I can write the article well and interesting, then I would do it by myself..
    otherwise, I'd like to outsource,.

    Been writing my own. But eventually I'll start outsourcing it, that is if I can find a writer that I am satisfied with.

    Magic Article Rewriter is great. I just discovered it last week and it's saving me a ton of time already. Although I use a different system than you... I submit via the article distribution services...

    I still go the old fashioned way (writing a unique article from scratch) when I submit to EZA and the like. Maybe that's not necessary but I have a lot of articles up in my EZA account (over 700) and I don't want to do anything to get them taken down.

    I wrote my articles on my blog myself. However, I am considering to hire one since the number of my blogs are growing...

    I hire a person. I am not fast to write an article.
    I take a hour to write an article from 350 words.

    Why would anyone write a 550 word article for only $2.50? How long does it take her? 10 minutes.

    We write our own. Getting quality writers would cost too much. It has also meant learning a lot and learning more about the areas that our clients work in.

    A question for those who use software to spin their articles. What are they like quality wise? Any articles that I've seen that have been spun have been pretty incoherant.

    A mix of both. I write the topics that I know about and feel I can write quickly. Other than that, I outsource in an effort to save me time.

    I have both outsourced and written my own articles. Most of the articles have been written by myself. I was a freelance writer for quite a while so I can really bust them out. I outsource when I am burnt out on writing though. Outsourcing is the quickest, and best way to get articles in a very quick and efficient way. Especially if you trust your writer to produce quality content. I would find a writing service that finds there own writers, checks the copy to ensure it passes copyscape and formats it for you. Its usually not any different in price because they find writers who are cheaper based on the bulk orders they get.
