Should you purchase web content. There are plenty of writers online who will gladly take your money. Many marketers hire content writers to write blog post, pages, etc. I even had a writer prepare a book for me because she was an expert in an area that I am not. I put her name as the author and me as the editor even though I had no requirement to mention that she even existed (I don't like ghost.)
One very successful web marketer hired English students to write content for him while he was in college. He had a lot of sites and needed lots of content.
I know a number of our members who buy content. Why? They don't have the time to do everything. If you can make money by hiring writers, why not?
Although you may not get enough hits on a link in a certain blog to warrant the cost of the writer, it may still pay off in your rankings and may bring an overall financial benefit to your site (or sites).
I have hired a number of writers. Some try to take advantage of this old man so I move to another. But I have found good writers who write convincing content. I usually tell them exactly what I want but not always. Sometimes I want to see what is in their brain and turn them lose. I never base my decision on having a writer write one article. i usually buy 5-10 at a time.
Ten articles will let me update a site for 5 weeks.
I don't recommend that new members of WA buy copy. Write your own as long as you have the time to do it. I get up early in the morning so I am done writing by 9:00 A. M. Some like to stay up nights.
I have another reason for hiring writers. I have carpaltunnel.
