I have been article marketing for a while now and when I am in a good routine can regularly submit daily. However as other projects come along my time gets pulled away so I have been debating about employing a good ghost writer.

I have a few questions for the group.
  1. Has anyone got any specific feedback they can provide on their experience on employing a ghostwriter?
  2. Apart from Elance are there other areas that I should be looking at?
  3. Does anyone use a full time ghost writer?

I started our article writer business for my son to address a need for people like you are describing. We just try to keep the articles priced correctly, write them around a primary and secondary keyword, keep them at 400+ words, and get them done in a timely fashion.

As more and more people start website and blogs keeping those filled with fresh content becomes hard to do and a good writer can help fill that void.

    Rentacoder.com is another place.   YOu must exercise your judgement how to choose writer.  Rule of thumb, the person must be at least handle 100 job before.
Read his portfolio.  

Be very specific about what you want and what you don't want.  Otherwise you may end up getting lots of crapy stuff.    Review their work before your accept.  Avoid last minute review and you are in the disadvantage to accept without much room for review.
 
Try a few articles and test the writer.  Try out a few writers.  Then stick to the one you like.   BUt make sure you use if for different keywords.

Hey John,

You could go to Guru.com too.

I think there is no magic pill to actually find a good ghostwriter.
You will have to test and evaluate which one will be more suited
to work with you long term either on part time or full-time.

Most of the time, you will be expecting to get good ones
if you decide to pay a fair price for it. There are serious individuals
which are more creative out there and do be wary of those
who cheat you of original content by running a certain software
to churn out articles.

Cheers,

Vern

Alan,

Thanks for sharing.   I also got some good feedback for my fellow IM freind.

Guess what?  My past experience with Rentacoder.com was that, I got a very lousy writter.  In the end, I spent much time editing the articles myself.  

The next I will do is use the service you mentioned.   Thanks.


Allan Tan.

Hi

I recently came across http://onedollararticle.info/ although I'm yet to use it so I can't comment on how good the service is.

Certainly looks good though.

All the best

Sarah

PS - I'm nothing to do with this site.

I tried the link and didn't get anywhere.  I'll try a google search instead.  Thanks for the tip.

Well, I like to write articles for myself as
of this moment because it gives me the
control to do so.

Then, when I feel like it's an article or
topic I'm able to write but don't want to
spend more than a few hours working on
churning out like 5 articles I'll just outsource it.

We have to be in the know about what our
articles should look like and also how the
content will turn out to be in order to get
good readership.

Vern ;)

I prefer writing content myself for people and their websites but I like to consider myself a professional in this field.  I can write on any topic and produce dozens of articles a week with great SEO.  I usually charge around $7.50 for a good 250 word article and basically 3 cents a word for longer ones.

The problem is people who read websites won't usually read more than 500 words so I don't like to go over that limit unless it's a detailed review.

Your biggest hurdle in this are writers and article producing companies that claim to be professional.

I've met clients who have paid as much as $75 for a 500 word article only to end up with something produced in a warehouse in India. 

I now work with a few trusted individuals so if you need me, let me know. 

My official article site isn't up yet but will be soon.

Personally I prefer writing content myself.  Once I have researched what I want to write about, I have it down so that I can write an article in about 20 minutes or so.  I prefer writing myself since it takes me about that long just to tell a ghost writer what to write about and to edit his materiel.
