2nd Phase of Hiring – Writers on Social Media Management & Inbound Marketing

To be frank, I was not quiet impressed with the type of writers I came across last time. I had hired all of them from DigitalPoint Forums. Nevertheless to say, it seems the quality of writers on this forums is getting degraded day by day. You will find most of them charging $0.01/word or $1/100 words which is the standard rate. However, when I say standard rate, it is for avg. quality writers. If you want to hire someone who have niche experience, you will have to shell out some good $$.

This time I am hiring content writers for Social Media Management (SMM as it is commonly known as) & Inbound marketing. This time I am not working with the mention category of the writers but I have hired someone who is really good. At least I can say this from his existing work.

I am not quiet sure where should one turn to when it comes to hiring a content writer for a short assignment. Most will go to DigitalPoint or Warrior Forums. If someone has good money to list the job opening, they can also put this on a Problogger Job board. It will cost you around $30 to list the requirement and the rest is the author fee. However, I feel the quality of writers should be good at Problogger Job Board. You can also go to Freelancer.com and list the job requirement there.

There is a trend that you will observe when you post opening for content writer on these Forums and Freelancer.com. Most of the people who reply for the opening are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines. And they are really desperate to work for you. They even boast of writing on almost every topic on earth that you can think of. I must say, we have a lot of writers but trust me, I am yet to come across someone who is really a good writer and care for writing. Obviously money is the unavoidable part but they give preference to what they are writing and simply reject the requirement if the subject is not their stronghold. Why rest of them feel that we can write on any subject maintaining the quality of the content? Do you think it is possible? At least I don’t think so.

Anyway, I shall update further details once I get the content delivery. However, if someone is really interested to write, then please contact me using the contact page.
