How many articles have you submitted?

[doogers]

I am not a great writer so it is challenging for me to write articles. I have submitted 12-15 different articles to various article directories. I am wondering how i compare to other agents?

I think we send out 3-5/week (most of the time). It's an ongoing process that never ends

You might try finding a writer on Craigslist, or something similar, and just proofing the finished articles before sending them out.

Do you submit the articles to many sites or just one per article?

We have a list of around 15 article directories that we always submit to - if you can tolerate it, try to change titles, your summary, a few sentences and the link paragraph for each submission.

Jayson, which article directory is your favorite?
Think carefully before you answer :-)

Repa - your directory is the best of course

3-5 a week! how much do you pay for so much writing?

@doogers,

It really, really depends. I probably spend at least an hour a day (usually) looking for writers. It's a constant job - I find that most writers stop caring as much after the first article or two. If we have a lot of time to edit, we spend a lot less $ but if we're busy and I know it has to be decent when I get it back we'll pay a little more/article.

I'd have to guess on an estimate, but I'd say we pay around $200/week on content - whether it's a bunch of offsite content, a page or two of onsite content or a combination of both.

We haven't been the best at getting and submitting content over the past three months but we'll get back into it in a week or two.

Are you writing general real estate articles or are your writing articles about your community? I tried hiring writers and have found that the time I spent hiring, proofing, etc that I could have done it myself for free.
