Premade articles

    This may be a dumb question, but I am curious for the answers to it:

    Often in the content creation section I see people offering premade articles, like 10 500 word articles on weight-loss or other subject.

    How many of you actually do this to sell articles, and what are your results?

    Is there actually a market here for ready made unique content?

    And last is there a going rate, or is it whatever Joe Blow thinks its worth?

    The reason is say this, is because I see you endorsing a website selling items I can get for free, and where articles are shown not to be selling. Plus the traffic volume does not even rate. Now that website owner is listed as an endorsement reference on the website of an infraction happy mod. Yes I can prove it.

    In America, we have words for that, and it often involves the FBI. So people instead do it on the internet.

    Hopefully, you are just misled, and actually would like to hear some truth for a change.

    1. I have 40,000 PLR articles in a database.
    2. Chris Knight of Ezine Articles and I email each other, twice this week.
    3. Christopher (Chris) informed me they have over 200,000 PLR articles they track, and are programming to reject these rewritten articles.
    4. People who buy articles, PLR articles, or rewritten articles, or machine word substituted articles, are only fooling themselves.
    5. The purpose on an article is to bring only a buyer to a website. That is what pays the bills.
    6. Therefore it must be research by the author for keyword phrases, researched for content, written to expose that very narrow niche problem, give reasons why the problem should be solved, and then almost how to solve it.
    7. The problem is addressed with a solution on the website. Plus the article must be 500 words or more.

    Now saying that, I will let you give your own answers to the values of article writing.
    1. Does your offer do the above steps?
    2. Are you being paid enough to do all that?
    3. Is your article written by you, and only offered once?
    4. Do you charge per 100 words or by quality?
    5. Why are you being hired, besides to survive?
    6. Are you selling it to someone that will then claim to be the author without any rewriting?
    7. What do you think of all the people that buy your article and sell it for 3 times more?
    8. Are you content to fight for food, when you could be the author profiting?
    9. If someone uses you as cheap labor would you like to give them a little legal payback, and 100% fool them?
    10. If you could get paid at least twice as much ,gain more business, and write a better article would you?

    At age 12 most people can write. That does not qualify a person to be an article writer.

    You can earn from $2.00 to more than $250.00 for an article. As your writing ability climbs, so does your pay. As your own boss, you stop where you are comfortable. However then besides articles, maybe blogs, website writing, splash pages, ebooks, paperbacks, monthly newsletter entries, or your choice of many more become available.

    As I have mentioned before, If I can do it, so can you. You need a craving to write, the ability to be creative, and a strong dose of determination. When you have that, you set a price, stay firm, keep learning and moving up, and then stop when you are comfortable. Do you expect to be a paid like a college professor, when you fail the basics of article writing?

    So, for your benefit, I pretended your inter-connections did not exisit. It may be that you are unaware. Regardless your question has been answered. Due to the snobs here, I am going to start being much more fussy on who deserves an answer, and who wants to criticize every letter and word I enter.

    If you are sincere you have everything to gain. Just watch out for all the self-interest predators along the way.

    Yeah, put some content together, make sure it pass copyscape and sell. Easy, I made $100 doing that. Buyers Satisfied. But even so, I noticed that it takes much time; I would better spend it learning or doing something else of higher value. That being said, if I needed $100 cash the next month, DP is a good way for it.

    I agree with that concept. You must earn, while you learn. In an Ebook, but not on here, I will show you numerous ways to provide writing that will fool 99% of the buyers taking advantage of low pay workers. And 100% legal.
    This will allow you to make survival money very fast, and leave more time available to learning to upgrade your skill level. Then eventually you will no longer have to compete as you will become the competition.
    I am not on the side of either the seller or buyer, but I believe in getting paid fairly and that you learn how to fight back legally.
    I will also show the buyer how to catch cheaters. Now, I expect the guilty and lazy mistreatment buyers to be too lazy to discover that.
    So Omar I can show you how to do what you are doing much faster. Then you will be able to set a much higher rate for quality articles, because you deserve it.
    By exposing tactics article directories are using, you will see where the market of this group of current buyers will dry up. So make your money now, but easier, and get ready to move up away from the rest.
    Remember, even the price of writing, is based on supply and demand. However getting in a less competitive, over-flooded area of suppliers, will require the quality writing which is where the demand is increasing.

    dyadvisor, in your first reply you are so far off, it is not even funny. Please stay on topic.
    @omarabid, thx for the reply. I was not referring to this while learning, or as a means to make a quick buck. My writing has been going steady for years, so no worries. I am just curious if the method as described is worth it, as I see so many doing it, bur never see the results.

    Whenever I do writing different than most people, that it the reaction I expect. They snicker, while I laugh all the way to the bank. I have been doing this 40 years. Almost everything I do seems to others to sound strange. That is because I do not copy other people's methods.

    If I copied the way they did writing would I make any money? Yes, but then I would have to struggle and struggle. Now if I develop a method completely different, then is it wrong to make three times (or way more as much?).

    In fact when others are doubters it gives me a charge. That means I am do something that most have not thought of. So actually, I welcome your reply. I am nearing the end of a rewarding career and it makes me wonder what would happen if a writer took a few of the things that I do that still work. Then they took that concept, and built off of it. How much they could earn in the field of writing? So I was going to hold off for my book, but for you and others, I am going to do a few posts. You can see how, stay laughable, and others will benefit by. By all means make me prove how my weird writing works. Would anybody want to buy my book, if it was just about everything in writing they already knew? I for one, would not.

    Starting today, I will make a few posts on how I would recommend a writer who thinks they are fairly good, to at least double, if not triple their earnings. If they are content with getting $10 or $15 for a 500 word article, that is fine. That just makes it easier for others to zoom past.

    So sincerely, thank you. You were not vicious, but skeptical, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. I am not looking for money, nor am I looking to change the world of writing, only to show where the money is and how making a little adjustment can get more for your writing.

    Watch for my posting, and have a great day.

    No sir, that is not wrong by any means, it just is NOT the topic of my thread, so once again please stay on topic or just stay out of the discussion.

    I am not doubting your skills, nor am I stating you are wrong. What I am stating is that your posts have no place in this thread as I did not ask about alternative ways to earn from writing. I asked about a specific method, and only that method. No more, no less.

    It depends. If you need some bucks, yes, it's worth it. If you are fine, then no, it'll just waste your time
