Mark,

In regards to your question about finding article writers, here is a response I gave to someone else the other day about the same topic:

PS
In terms of price, I pay between $8 and $20 per article, and that largely depends on the author and what I need written.

Joel,
I submitted my first article to ISNARE and paid to have it distributed and it has been a week now and it is still in pending status. Is this normal? Or should I contact them?

[Tina Fountain]

Mark - good question, I've also been looking for an article writer and have picked up some good information from this.

Joel - you may want to check your home page banner in Firefox, I think it's not displaying correctly.

Looks like it's the search status extension and the highlighting of nofollowed links. When that's disabled it displays fine.

I have been through several writers. I spent as little as $10 and as much as $40 only to get garbage each end and at every level in between. I finally found someone I like right around $25 for 400 words including a summary.

It took me 4 writers to get me the one I needed. And he has been around writing for me for like 5 years now? It takes sometime to get good writers to suit our style and liking. and when it does happen, treat him as a `partner' to your projects cause you won't want to screen another 4 again everytime you have some writings to outsource.

Finding a writer who has a style that you like is hard enough. Finding one that has time for your projects is a whole other battle. There are a lot of good writers available. The trick is finding one and creating a solid working relationship.

[Joelrunner]

yeah -- it can take a while. Have patience.

Do you have a google alert set up for your title? (That's the exciting part.) Remember to set up a googalert for your exact title, and put it in quotes.

Tina - thanks for the head's up.

I assume you're talking about AutomatedHomefinder.com? Do you have the nofollow plugin turned on? I have the same problem, but it's because of me tracking nofollow.

Please let me know.
