All, I am planning to employ article writers via the appropriate forum here in DP. My intention is to have the writer create about 10-20 articles on a particular topic and then have them posted via article submission to create awareness and backlinks to my site. However, I am new to this, so I wanted to hear from you the pros out there how you feel about this. So... in your opinion... is using paid article writers to create content for both your site and article submission an effective and legitimate way of promoting a site? Thanks!
Certainly! Just make sure that you hire good writers who will write accurate, professional articles. Also, make sure that you do SEO along with your content marketing efforts. Forgive the blatent promotion, but my team of writers and I can write your articles for you: http://www.rypmarketing.com/content.html ~Adam
Sure it's a good idea. Just make sure you get good ones. There's a lot of scammers out there so make sure you be diligent in your research before you hire anyone.
great idea mate. I think we could definitely help you with that. If interested, my contact info is in my sig.
I have to agree. Getting a good content writer is a great way to go. We have used content writers on many occasions, and if you keyword target the article your search engine ranking can definitely go up.
Take a look at WriterLance.com (I'm not affiliated with them). It's a great way to find good writers at a good price. You can post what you need and writers will bid on your job.
Yes ofcourse it is. Im #1 for my keyword becuase I use this same technique. Just make sure you choose the right link text in your article. I usually outsource on scriptlance and pay 3 bucks an article.
I'm really lazy these days, so I just outsourse content writing. I highly recommend using http://wordstreme.com - I've used them last month and they were exceptional. I got a package for 120 articles and they delivered all that in just a little over a week! Staggering ig you ask me! I get my articles done by cheap writers but I get high quality and just plug them into my blogs and websites...They're keyword optimized when they write them for me, so I dont have to do much work whatsoever!
It's been very helpful to network my sites this way through articles submissions as I don't have the time to do my own articles these days so a big heck yeah from me!
Just the very act of developing good procedures for outsourcing tasks as cheaply and effectively as possible once you know how to do them yourself will make your business jump to the next level. In any business, not just IM.
Surely to save time and money I would recommend finding a good PLR Article membership site. Sign up, download and post. It would probably be cheaper than paying 3-6 dollars each for articles from a writer and then you have to find a writer that's worth it. Just my 2 cents. Ray
Sure its a good idea with two things in mind 1) Either make sure you do some tight keyword research yourself - Statistics state that 90% of internet marketers fail to make money on line due to poorly chosen keywords... It’s an unfortunate fact that poor keyword research leads to most internet marketers either not making any money or a small percentage of what they could... Do keyword research yourself or outsource. 2) If you out source your articles check the quality of the writer you are going to give the work too, before requesting articles.
I would highly suggest having a list of topics for your article writers. For my niche, as an example, I'd probably have a list of wineries that I'd want them to create profiles for in article form. You can also use those same article writers to spin your articles so that you can take advantage of all of the best directories
I've done this many times. I currently use The Content Authority. They charge $5 for 500 words and their writers are mostly top notch. The only downfall is that it can take up to 5 business days to get your finished article, mainly because the screening process is very stringent. I don't mind that because all of my articles have been good and have never had a problem getting accepted at Ezine Articles.
Using writers is essential, especially if you are developing a lot of sites. At least for me. Writing takes a long time. I don't mind editing the outsourced articles though if necessary.
Like all tasks, paying someone else to do it will save you time, and allows you to leverage the expertise of others who focus on that. Article writing takes time, and that makes it great for outsourcing. This is doubly true if you're not sure how to work in SEO value, and triply so if you you aren't a particularly strong writer to begin with. The downside is that your materials will not likely carry through it a consistent voice... your voice. This may not be a primary concern for everyone. But some people are marketing themselves as much as any particular product. If your personal brand is a part of your marketing strategy, then having others write for you may make it more difficult to connect with your prospects and customers.
That is a Fantastic idea... If you can afford it.. Outsource everything and anything if you like... You can get a lot of things done for cheap.. Just be aware that there are some jerkies out there that can't do what they say they are going to do. Look at their feedback and make a decision based on that. If you like their feedback, contact them and ask them some questions to help you make another decision on whether you want them to do the job or not. I outsource a lot... I can't keep up with the amount of articles my clients want written...
It is better to use your own account for Ezine submission, unless you trust the writers not to change the links in the resource box
