"Literature" by Trish Parisy
There are plenty of sites offering content on the internet. As an internet marketer or website owner, you are constantly on the lookout for fresh content that will differentiate you from the competition and divert large amounts of traffic from the search engines to your sites. The old adage holds true: you get what you pay for.
Some content sites promote their writers at a premium; on sites such as Constant Content, the writers set prices themselves, and as a buyer you have the option of purchasing exclusive or non-exclusive rights to the articles. Constant Content vets their writers and is capable of delivering solid content.
However a disadvantage of a site like this is that you cannot read the entire article before accepting it and forking over the money before you’ve evaluated the product. You are effectively buying “sight unseen”. The same can be said for other similar sites such as ArticleSale.com and the Daily Article.
You could purchase content from a site like Associated Content – yet another very popular resource for articles. These articles are posted for you to examine in full; you can then contact AC if you want to purchase the rights for those articles. The writer will receive a couple bucks from that. The disadvantage here is that, duplicated content tends to be penalized with lower ratings by search engine algorithms. A good article is worth it – but why do that when you can have quality, unique content that is custom-written for you?
Other sources for content writers are forums such as Digital Point. You can post a query and find a writer on quick notice. Forums such as this do rate their members, so if you are satisfied with you product, do remember to rate the writer and help their online credibility. However utilizing a site like this, you are really taking a shot in the dark as to quality.
Beyond finding copywriters you like and establishing a working relationship with them, there is another site called Textbroker, which is proving to be very advantageous to the internet marketer and webmaster. At Textbroker you can navigate the lightning-fast interface, place an article order and have it filled quickly to satisfaction. They also vet their writers, and article buyers can choose which quality level you are willing to pay for. The advantages of Textbroker are numerous:
Inexpensive – article prices usually range from $1 - $5, or $.7 – $1.5 a word.
Articles are original, passed through Copyscape, and customized for each buyer’s requests.
Quality is assured. Buyers can give writers feedback to make necessary changes to the articles before purchase.
Articles can be ordered and filled in bulk.
Writers are approved US native speakers, continually evaluated, and given incentive to produce quality. Good evaluations by Textbroker editors, coupled with good customer satisfaction ratings, give writers access to higher-paying orders. They have incentive to produce quality and not just quantity.
Textbroker minimizes meeting time and maximizes productivity for both clients and providers.
Writers who are rated 5 star (professional level) can be contacted directly in order to fulfill custom orders.
How to Request an Article for Maximum Effectiveness:
While a lot of instructions aren’t necessary, make sure your instructions are clear. It may not be necessary to give a writer the article format, but be sure your keywords are formatted correctly, because many writers will cut and paste your keywords directly into their article, to avoid any spelling or word form mistakes.
It’s useful to inform the writer of the tone, style and target audience for your article, as well. Is it an impersonal product blurb? A personality piece? Is it meant to be conversational? Is it meant to sell a service?
Do you have any special requirement regarding keyword occurrence percentages? If so, it’s better to state it clearly.
The final way to find an article online is to make a request directly to a copywriter. If you’ve never done that, you can start here at One Cent Copywriter. Check out the specialty links and rates for custom articles. Watch for custom article ten-packs which will soon be made available for direct purchase on this site. One Cent Copywriter is interested in establishing a productive working relationship with your business.
Remember, you get out of your business what you put into it. If there is one quality that remains vital to the success of your online presence, it is authenticity. The right copywriter will help your business to stand out among the masses of automated sites - and won't cost you any extra than you are already paying. How much is your time worth? How much is your business worth? You get what you pay for!
