Great post! Article outsourcing can be very risky since the content of your site is at stake. Extra care must be given. And I agree about using copyscape. It’s a useful tool.

great article. Outsourcing success is dependent upon how well you manage the process before and after the outsourcing contract is signed. Many companies award the outsourcing contract to the lowest bidder without understanding what it means to the business and without performing a complete vendor selection process.

I think , outsourcing has been is use even before this term was coined. earlier, people used to say it sub -contracting, outside help, ghost post etc. Anyways a good article

Entrepreneurs and small businesspeople are always looking for creative ways to accomplish more of their business goals for less money. One strategy that can help you save time, money and frustration as you start and build your business is to outsource as much work as possible to skilled, but cost-effective, external service providers.

Great tips – mainly the first obvious one (there are still some more places to look). I found one good article writer, one average (but very cheap) but so far I wasn’t able to find anybody reliable that can write blog posts – nobody that can on given theme write X number of good blog posts per month.

Getting good writer at reasonable price is really tough job. I can understand this, if you will get him/her than you wont able to get the enough time of his/her.

I am getting article writing job and I pass this one to my channels. Benefit of this is they do not go anywhere and hence I can retain them as well.

Thanks for sharing the tips. I definitely learned from your mistakes.

Aside from Digitalpoint forum, what other forums can you suggest that I can visit to get some writers or other services? I only know one forum and as you have said, I will try to check out other sites before choosing someone.

I must go with the general feel here. It’s very risky outsourcing for main stay blogs (like DSWM for example) and I would never do it myself. I think you’re much better off either doing it yourself or getting guest posters….readers know it’s not you and someone else gets the credit they deserve.

Outsourcing for niche blogs is usually okie doke – the ones where you publish 20-30 articles, monetize and let it go.

Having said that though, most if not all your points above are still good for finding guests as well.

Very interesting reading Janith, especially considering I never outsourced any article.

Personally, I don’t plan to do so either on my blog. I like to write my own content, not only because I can fully control the content and don’t have to worry about all the problems you just mentioned, but simply because my readers like my style and get used to it.

I’d rather go with guest post from people I know rather than outsourcing a stranger.

Great article. Personally for me I maintain only 2 blogs so there’s not much need for outsourcing. But there are times wherein things really get hectic for me… Luckily I have writers that are always ready…
