Outsourcing Content Creation
Have you ever thought about outsourcing your content creation?
If you're like me and would rather do other things that you are better at than spend time researching and writing articles, outsourcing your content creation may be something for you to take a look at.
It's not near as expensive as you would think.
Keep in mind you do get what you pay for and choosing keywords as well as titles for your article are some of the things that I suggest that you still do.
Seven of the past 8 articles on my main website were written by freelance writers and each 2,000 word post cost me less than $20 each. I am trying out a few writers on a platform to see if I would like to have one or more of them write for me on a regular basis.
Of the 7 articles, 4 of them are already on page #1 of the search engine results page (SERPs) which I give credit to the writer but also to my choosing of keywords through Jaaxy Pro.

I outsource content, but I have found I have to spend $50 - $70 an article for great writing.
Yes, the best copywriters are not cheap...Middle of the road freelancers will run like $35 for a decent article of 1500 or so words with images, SEO, and etc. incorporated...
The more specific you are with what you need the better, as little editing is then required...Too many times I had some freelance work done and ended up doing major rewrites...
Cheers!

Yes indeed, Tony...You have to find the right person or company to work with, but depending on what you are looking for, there are some great solutions out there...I know of a couple hehe...
The price you paid was very reasonable I must say. Depending on the quality that you need, you can find even cheaper sources...The problem is that you get what you pay for most of the time, and then sometimes you don't get what you pay for too.
If you can find someone that is good that you can work with on a regular basis it can be like having a hired hand without all the cost of a full-time employee. I am doing this...
Time is money, and although we know that regular content publishing is important, things get in the way. Whether it is sales campaign development, new business clients, or perhaps the grandchild is sick...
This will happen...
Just within the business itself, at some point, things like content creation, social posting, customer service, and even lead generation are all areas to consider outsourcing...
Of course, there has to be some income to get this in place, but as you start to scale your operations up, most definitely automation and outsourcing can be considered.
There are other important things to focus on as the head person in your business and the expectation is that you will step up to the plate and make the switch from worker to leader...
So the short answer is yes, I outsource content creation...
Cheers!

Well, it is really nice to know that the outsourcing is doing so well for you. It's something to consider. So far, I have stubbornly insisted on doing all the writing myself, because I want it to be my "voice." However, as time is in such short supply, it might be worth looking into. Gee, what should I do first? So many choices...
I like the results and the idea. Here's my question about it, but are you concerned about the 'voice' of the articles being consistent throughout your site? How do you address this?
I have thought about it and Upwork offers great outsourcing for a little of nothing if your on a budget but, do your research because, some of the people on the site may or may not have the experience in what your asking them to do and just remember everyone is trying to get paid so, look for credentials and example of work.
It's funny you posted this. I came across a company just yesterday that does this and I'm swing toward it as a niche as well. I have writers my self and looking 4 more because people do need help in this area.
I tried it but didn't have much luck at all. I even provided an outline of bullet points to cover for each section. Beyond the poor writing and typos, etc the articles just didn't fit in with my own writing style.
Are you using one of the article writing services?
Hi,
yes I am my friend and when I review the article if I am not satisfied I end it back for revision. That being said, I have had good experiences for the most part.

Makes sense. I imagine it's like anything else keep testing and will find some great ones.
I'd actually like to outsource everything from building the websites, writing the articles and the marketing. Then I can just spend my time on the things I enjoy the most. Researching, analyzing, monetizing, testing, etc.
With you successfully outsourcing the article writing you are positioned well to move in that direction.
Great stuff! Best of luck with your business going forward.
