Is outsourcing content worth the time and effort?
I hear a lot of people saying that outsourcing content is not worth it. And that you should be looking at outsourcing to better writing platforms than say Fiverr.com. But, if you look to Fiverr and do a good search of some blogging and article writers you can still find some gems in the rough. I'm not saying that these writers are top-notch but they can produce a readable article for $5.00 still.
As a former Fiverr writer I can say during my time there I produced over 1000 articles for people and always got a five star rating because I took it as it was a job even though I made little money at it. But it did help me build a good portfolio and reputation on the website.
Here it is easy to get overwhelmed with all the training and trying to figure out the best way to learn and write at the same time. When I get burned out on writing my own content I go to Fiverr, order an article and then do some simple editing and add my links, pictures and some H3 tags and it good to go.
I would definitely recommend outsourcing if you are at a point where your time is needed elsewhere or you would rather focus on training than writing non-stop. While many of the writers on Fiverr write substandard content if you search for the higher rating writers and that write English as a first language you're bound to find one that will still write a decent article for $5.00. Just a thought for those who may be tired of writing all their articles non-stop and maybe need a break for a week or two but don't want to lose the consistency of putting out content.

Good to know, and heard about this when I was stuck one day - 100% writers block disease and still feel that while in training.
Seems that training is hindering my ability to write, but know that it's really just too much going on and should focus on 1 topic and write it instead of analyzing all the right words to use. I may try Fiverr for this and test it out. Cool that you made a portfolio wtih Fiverr, and at $5 for a page can be quite the task, and I'm sure validated your good writing ability. I've noticed people do not want all the "fluff" in what they read, just get to the point, and that should suffice. lol
Lol. Yea it may have been me being stubborn and just kept going for three years writing articles for people. But if it wasn't for Fiverr I wouldn't of researched affiliate marketing and probably would of just kept writing on there. I wanted to find out what my articles were being used for and I guess I found out. I wish I had found out sooner. Ironically my profile is still on Fiverr but I no longer write for people there. Thanks for the comment:)
I am definitely not to the point of outsourcing, but it is good to know where I might find decent articles should I need them. Thanks for the article.
Outsourcing is definitely worth it. I never have much time at end of my daily grind to sit down and write. You can get some very well written articles. I use iwriter, but only from premium writers. Standard writers charge less but you will be lucky to get a good one.
Interesting post here... I'm thinking of outsourcing for my dive site, hopefully I can find someone who knows about scuba diving. Anyway, I'll check out Fiverr and Leo's IWriter.
I'll do the keyword research on them thru Jaaxy first...
Thank you for sharing this.
I'll admit it's hit or miss. I have had some luck with Fiverr but had to do some digging. Thanks for the comment.
