Have you ever wondered how major bloggers fill their websites with articles? I know I did and it came as a surprise that they were using copywriters to write for them. This, of course, sounds pretty simple until you try to do it for yourself. There are two ways that you can find a copywriter, the first is to go through a reputable company like HireWriters or Fiverr or you can go private and ask around for a freelancer whose writing you admire and ask them to write for you.
How Do I Get Started?
1. Decide how much you want to pay
2. How many articles do you want to be written per month?
3. How many words per article?
How much will I pay?
There is no set amount in the market for a certain length of an article, so you will need to do some research. Let's look at two companies' price-lists for a 2000+ word article.
Hire writers - Based on what skill level you want, you will pay between $20 - $30 US.
Fiverr - Starting at $20 US and the writer you choose.
Freelancer - This is a negotiated price so it could be better for a set amount of articles for a month or they may have a base rate, usually around $20 - $30 for 2000+ words.
In Australia, this works out to be around $24 for a 2000+ article and $12 for a 1000+ article. Consider that you want to be adding 2 x 2000+ articles and 1 x 1000+ article a week, your budget needs to be around $400 Australian a month or 280 US for 12 articles plus any promotion you negotiate with your copywriter. With a freelance writer, you could choose to negotiate other inclusions, such as social media promotion for extra.
That is 70 US or about $90 (depending on the exchange rate) a week for 3 new articles and around $360 a month for 12 articles.
Don't forget to set up your email collecter to gather subscriptions to your website, that list is pure gold for marketing.

He writes masses of quality content and promotes it on several social platforms and answers questions on Quora. It's all about being noticed by Google and the user experience which is important when people stay to read your content. The longer they stay the more it pushes your bounce rate down.

There are also facebook groups, Pro Blogger is one off the top of my head.
Many are experienced and have samples of their work, prices are negotiable.
I use one every now and then.
The way I do it is, she writes the article, I add the links and photos. I also give her the title and keywords.
Often times we will discuss keywords to use as she has quite good knowledge of SEO.
They are out there and finding a good one is not too hard.
Many people rubbish Fiverr, but I have used it once or twice and was very pleased with the result I think it cost US$45.00.
The exchange rate was a lot kinder then.
A great post Lil,

Even when my blog was not making money, I still paid her( I don`t exactly enjoy writing)times when I felt the correction I need to do could have been much easier had I written the whole by myself.
After 5 years, she/he (I want to think it`s a she) got so careless I ended up waiting for 10 days to get an article and when the articles came, these were so low quality I felt sad.
I told her I`m sorry but I can`t accept the articles going forward.It made me feel sad to take away this income from her after all that time.
I`ve been to India on vacation so I know things are not easy there is you don`t have a good job.
I did this purely to help, she benefits and I do the same, I could have paid for fewer articles(but paid more for the work quality from Native English speaker)
Since I said I can no longer tolerate the below-average articles, she never contacted me to apologize or explain herself. Something that really hurt me.
Deciding to stay quiet and not say anything positive or negative after working together for over 5 years made me feel I was disrespected by her. but hey, I'm a big girl, I won`t cry I promise.
Once I found a lady on upwork, I don`t know how she convinced me to pay her upfront then she`ll do the work. I never got the work, after over 1 month without a single article, I reported her and upwork gave me my money back.
One thing I did do to hopefully avoid your quality problems was I read and watched the copywriter's work that I had in mind, for 12 months. I wanted to know if we wrote in a similar way and if their own quality was maintained.
Perhaps going through a writer's platform might be safer as your money is held until you approve the article. This way you are protected.
Remember this is a business transaction and although I laud your motives both parties need to come to the party when you are working together.
Thanks for your comment and like.

I had to catch up with my writing, so I requested 10 articles from them with keywords and instructions. I kept getting articles to approve, so I find out their writers are working on the same keyword at a time. I told their support to make sure no duplicate articles. They ignored me, so I told them if they don't take care of the problem, I am going to call my bank to deny the charges. It has been a month, and they never responded. I don't bother to download anything because I know they contain a lot of duplicates.
