Outsourcing with Fiverr
Fiverr.com gets a lot of bad press for getting articles written, I've seen many people here say don't use it. This is about my experience.
I've become much busier with my business of late, (you might have noticed my lessened activity here). After watching a webinar about outsourcing, which also showed how to choose a seller I decided to give it a go.
My requested "gig" was for 5 articles, unique and current, over 800 words in my chosen niche. I didn't give keywords, and left the seller to choose the topics. I received 30 replies within 2 hrs!
I followed the guidelines for choosing a seller (Nathaniell has written an excellent guide https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-ou...) and requested a gig.
Today, 5 days later I received my articles, all well over 800 words, one was 1900 and they were all well researched and written. All they need is a few tweaks to personalize and they'll be good to go.
How much did this cost? $20, yes, that's right, $20! I did give a $10 tip, well worth it.
I'll definitely use this time-saving method again. Even if you're on a tight budget, this is affordable and I've now got my posts scheduled for the next 2 weeks.
Hurrah for Fiverr!

That depend on the niche chosen. I think some niches can't have outsourcing. It can save a lot of time and take the website for higher links.
Yes, I was dubious as this is quite a specialized niche. I can tell the writer did the research as I already know a lot about the subject. What it lacked was the personal touch which can only be added by me. :)
Follow that link to Nathaniels guidelines to make sure you get a good writer. Don't look for a writer first, use the request button and be specific about what you want. Good luck. :)
Well done you Kathy. I have used fiverr in the past and it was ok but only up to a point but I'm glad you have done so well out off it.
It could get a wee bit expensive for your though if your plan is to publish an article every day and you're paying out $20 for the privilege.
have a great weekend.

Ok Kathy you have to look after the pennies or you will find you have none left lol
Why don't you try PLR. You can get loads of them very very cheaply.
For example.
I bought 6,000 last year for $18.
Of course you get what you pay for but with some creative editing you can buy enough to last you for years.
If you would like some address links I can send them via a PM.
Be quick coz I'm just about to go out for the day.
Robert
Ok Kathy will send you a PM with them as soon as tonight.
You missed me this morning.

Do they all pass Copyscape? As it seems a bit strange for someone to write a unique 1,900 word article when you wanted 800 words.
Yes, I've checked them Ian. She really did have very good reviews from other buyers, that's one of the reasons I chose her. :)
In that case, I agree - definitely a bargain. I've never tried there for articles but have got a couple of good people on Iwriter who are cheap & surprisingly good.
I'm delighted Ian, will definitely use this writer again, I believe it's hard to find good ones.
I myself, have given Fiverr a bad name. I've tended to, in past posts, tell users to avoid Fiverr when it comes to some things (Which still does hold true on some topics). Articles However, I should have been clearer than to just give them a negative rap.
Fiverr is a strong tool. You just have to use it wisely. If you are going for article creation, you 100% absolutely have to do your research. Find out as much as you can about the "Seller" - Look at their ratings, check their feedback, look at the comments other users have posted about him/her.
You can definitely save time by outsourcing, no doubt about that.
Just remember.. Anyone can sign up for Fiverr, Anyone can Sell on Fiverr. You can find someone that is OUTSTANDING... or you can lose some money... But Hey, It's only $5.. unless you got conned into some upsells ;)
I'm glad you found one of the better "seller's Kathy, and I'm glad it worked out for you! Cheers Dear!
I was very careful, I don't have money to waste! I have to say I was VERY nervous, I've read some of the stories!
I took my time and did the research, I'm not one for rushing into things. It still took me some time to hit the final button, a bit like diving off a high board!
That's great Kathy. If you want to pass the link on the seller, Feel free to PM his info to me. I may or may not use them in the future.
Esp if you say they were as good as they were. I tend to get busy writing 80+ content articles every single weekend. Wouldn't mind outsourcing once in awhile when I'm busy.
