subject: Outsource Article Writing - Announcing Nine Brand New Tips For Buyers [print this page] Here are some tips that can help you succeed in this endeavor:
1. Find the best ghostwriters on freelancing sites. Explore freelancing sites that have been in the business for at least 3-5 years. In here, you will surely be able to find reliable and talented ghostwriters from all points of the globe. Go to the page where you can access the profile of each ghostwriter. Study their online portfolio and read their feedback. Through this, you'll get an idea as to which service provider you're going to hire.
2. Verify skills. It's not enough that a certain service provider is highly recommended. To make sure that you'll get the kind of articles you need, I suggest that you verify skills before you hire somebody. Don't worry as most freelance writers these days are more than willing to supply free sample articles.
3. Talk about payment terms. Before you sign up, make sure that you and your service providers are on the same page when it comes to payment terms. Discuss the rate per article and when you're going to send the money. For your protection, avoid sending advanced payment. Pay for the articles you get after you make sure that they're original and that they're of high quality.
4. Have the articles sent in batches. It will help if you get your service providers to send the articles in batches. Ask them to send the first couple of articles and provide feedback. Through this, you can easily get them on track.
5. Check the articles. Do not use the articles unless you're 100% sure that they're unique and that they are of high quality. Read them or get a professional editor to do the legwork for you. Then, run the articles on copyscape dot com.
6. Talk about revision requests. This is something that you need to discuss before the project starts. Is your service provider willing to revise the articles until you're completely satisfied? Will they charge additional for these revisions?
7. Put all your agreements into writing. You will need to do this for your own protection. Write everything that you've agreed on and have the other party sign it. It's good if you have something to refer to when conflict arises.
8. Provide feedback. Whether it's good or bad, it's important that you give your service providers feedback about their job. Commend them if they have met or exceeded your expectation. Offer them with feedback and recommendation if they fail to deliver what you're looking for. Make sure that you do this in such a way that these people will not feel degraded.
9. Pay on time. Be a very considerate buyer. Make sure that you send the payment on agreed date. But make sure that you only release the payment if you're very satisfied with the articles submitted by your service providers.
