I just have a quick question to ask about oursourcing articles as I have never outsourced before and wish to have some articles written for me in the near future. How exactly do I go about with my order? Do I tell the writer what I want written then pay AFTER I receive the articles, or do I pay BEFORE I receive the articles (immediately after ordering)? Cheers
Depends on where and how you buy your articles. I won't take a writing job, unless paid in advance. However, when I hire out, I usually pay on the backend, after the work has been produced. Do check every single article submitted to you by a writer, for originality. Simply pull a sentence or two from the submission, put it in quotes, and run it through Google. 40% of people who send me articles, send me stolen content. I refuse to pay for stolen content. If you are interested, you can get the FREE Article Marketing Ebook that is offered here on the DP Forums or in my signature file: "Article Marketing: Beyond the Basics". In that book, I talk about hiring writers at length, and how to make sure you get the best work from your writers. I hope this helps you.
thanks for that reply, yesterday I sent a payment in advance to a writer here with good reputation, so hopefully I receive some good quality 100% unique content
Start with a small amount of articles, like five, and pay in advance. You won't be out of pocket for much if things go bad but it will give you a chance to see the quality of the work, the style and if they can be delivered on time. As soon as you both trust each other, you can negotiate larger jobs. Cheers, Rowan
For safety,i would say never pay in advance. Incase you no statisfied with the article,you can request the seller to rewrite. If the seller refuse to rewrite,you cannot sent the payment to the seller.
