Got Writer's Block? How To Outsource Your Content and Article Writing

Another method for writing articles that I use quite often when I have writers block is getting other people to write articles for me. I go to elance.com and submit a job. The job posting will say something like this:

“I am looking for someone to write 10 original 500 word articles in context about 10 different subjects of which I will provide. I am willing to pay $50.00 for these 10 articles.”

The response I get from that ad is great and even if I don’t use the 10 articles, I get some great ideas on what other people have said. This $50.00 helps me get over my block and I get some articles that will help me earn back my $50.00 and much more.

The key part of this job post is that I want it to be simple. I don’t want it to be complicated for the writer. I want it to look like a fairly simple thing for the writer to do. I don’t want to complicate it with a lot of keywords or research requirements. I include the article subjects in the post to attract the writers with that expertise.

It is not important for the keywords I am trying to optimize for to be in the articles itself. I include them in the bio that with the article when I post it. The only thing I really want is a simple, interesting article about the subject matter. I am most interested in it being a good article to my market place. In other words, if I sell to sports fans I want the article to appeal to sports fans. If the article is successful, then it will syndicate and that is what I am ultimately after.
