Outsourcing your content writing can give an ultimate turbo boost to your online business. You can keep on building your content while you are doing other things to build the business or alternatively you can lay down on the beach while somebody else is working for you. Today I am going to show how to outsource content writing, I will give you 4 options and you can choose which one to take.
UPDATE: I also created a YouTube-video where I walk you through 3 options for outsourcing your content writing.
5 Benefits of Outsourcing Your Content Creation
But first, we will start by going through some real benefits of outsourcing content creation.
1.Gives You More Time for Other Tasks
When you are blogging or building a website, content writing takes the most of your time. You can create quite a good website quite quickly but in order to get the traffic, you need content.
You can do
* Social Media Marketing
* Keyword Research
* Optimizing Your Pages for Maximizing Conversions
* Creating PPC-Campaigns
* Building Your Email List
* Creating Products
* Making Youtube Videos
There are tons of things that you can do to make your online business bigger and better. Content writing is one of the most important things for bloggers but definitely not the only one if you want to create a very successful online business.
2.Leverage Your Business => More Profit
Let’s say that you earn approximately $0,25 per visitor and buying an article from HireWriters costs $8. You only need to get 32 visitors to that article to make it even. And if you get 320 visitors, you have already made 10x more money than you have invested.
Then multiply this with 100 articles and you have earned quite good money. This wouldn’t have been possible if you would be writing all your articles by yourself.
3.Faster Results
Let’s say that you have 20 hours a week time to work on your online business. If you are writing 15 hours of that time, there are only 5 hours left for the other things. What if you outsource a few articles and you have some hours more?
By outsourcing some of your tasks, you can speed up the process, get faster and bigger results. What do you think if Bill Gates or another business owner would never outsource anything? They wouldn’t accomplish very much. The same applies to you. If you try to do everything by yourself, you’ll not move forward so quickly.
By hiring other people to work for the same purpose, you are speeding up the process significantly. Your online business doesn’t need to be a one-man show.
4.Learn Leadership and Other Useful Skills
When you are writing all articles yourself, you are learning a lot about the subjects you write. But when you outsource content, you are also learning valuable skills. You learn how to lead other people. You learn how to give clear instructions, manage people and probably many other skills.
One of the most important things is that when you are outsourcing content writing, you are adopting a mindset of a business owner. If you live the whole life with “Do-it-yourself” -mentality, you will never learn to create a big business neither learn to lead other people enough.
When you give tasks to others, you need to learn to trust them and their work. When you become a better leader, your employees will also provide better results.
5.Enrich Your Blog
When other people are writing to your blog, it can significantly enrich the content. You have your unique style and your writers have their own style. Maybe some of your readers prefer your freelancers writing styles. Of course, there is a risk that not all your readers fall in love with their texts but if you want to become a very successful online entrepreneur and build big online businesses, you just can’t write everything by yourself. Outsourcing is a leverage that can turbo-boost your business totally to the next level.
Fiverr – High-Quality Content for $5
Fiverr is one of the most famous online marketplaces. You can find writers and other freelancers even fro $5 / project. That is a ridiculously cheap price for a blog post. Of course, there are no 100% guarantees that it will be the highest quality in the world but my experience had been quite good so far. I have had to reject a text only once when I have bought $5 articles on Fiverr.
You can order an article from any freelancer that you want. They have written descriptions about their services so you can easily know what you should wait for them.
Here is an example:
You can see in the picture that this user is providing articles of 1000 words for 4,73€ (=$5). I actually bought one review from her and the result was quite good if we think that it was so ultimately cheap.
HireWriters – Get the Cheapest Articles for $2,40
HireWriters is a marketplace dedicated only for freelance writers and their clients (=you). You can buy articles starting from around $2 per text. Then the most expensive articles cost even $60 if you buy a very experienced and a high-rated writer. You can choose an article that cost everything in between, for example, $8, $22 or $30.
By registering through my links, you will get a 25% when making your first deposit. When I made my first deposit to HireWriters, I put there $100 and got $25 for free. It means that if I am buying, for example, articles that are 1,000 words longs, I can get 3 of them for free. Then all those three articles can bring more traffic to my website through Google, other search engines and from social medias.
You can order an article very easily from HireWriters. Just click “Order an article”. Then you will:
- Choose the length and price of the article
- Give a subject and clear instructions for the writer
- Decide how fast your article to be delivered
After doing this, just wait and somebody will write you an article that you ordered. If you are not satisfied, you can ask for a revision and a writer will make it better. If you are still not satisfied, you can fire a writer and give a task for the other one for free.
The better instructions you give, the more likely writers are going to deliver what you wanted. I have needed to ask for a revision only once in HireWriters.
Upwork – Find Writers Starting from $2-3/hour
Upwork is the biggest marketplaces on the Internet with a huge one billion turnover every year. You can buy writers with an hourly salary starting from $2-3/hour or by agreeing on a price for a project with them.
If you want to know more about Upwork and how it works, have a look at my full article about their services.
I think that it could be useful especially if you would like to outsource content writing for the same writer for a longer time. But of course for another kind of services. It’s the biggest marketplace so you can naturally find anything you can imagine.
Wealthy Affiliate – #1 Online Business Community in the World
Wealthy Affiliate is an online business community with probably the best training and tools in the world. They offer their premium everything from domain hosting to a powerful community and full support.
You can also find writers for your websites from Wealthy Affiliate. One very successful community member Eddy Salomon found a writer in WA with this post. So if you are looking for writers, you can make a post on WA like Eddy.

Have you outsourced some of the content writing on your website? Where did you buy writers? Did you find it profitable?
I really appreciate this article. I use outsourcing now but haven’t always. I have become so busy managing my site that now, I don’t have the time to write. Not only does it save time, but because I outsource often, I create more traffic. You are so right, it does save a lot of precious time. Thanks so much for this article!
Hi SJB,
you are right that outsourcing content brings in more traffic. Especially if you have found skillful writers who produce quality content. Google appreciates a constant flow of new content and ranks your website higher.

Amazing tips and article, and I am a huge believer of sometimes you got to spend money to make money. Writing content is the most time consuming thing with my online businesses, I am sure you know that yourself as well, I do suggest outsourcing it, but one thing I might add is to wait a little bit and not start outsourcing from the get go since you want to make sure you have a healthy flow of traffic to your site before anything else.
Hi Bassam,
I partially agree that it’s wise first to write yourself when starting out a new website but I would say that it’s not 100% necessary. I would recommend it for those people who are just starting out with their online businesses so they learn the process how to get ranked in Google, organic traffic, etc. But if you already know how to write great articles and how to make money with affiliate marketing, it’s not necessary to write articles yourself.
One very successful affiliate marketer explained me about his “new” project of outsourcing almost all of his traffic in his Amazon affiliate-website. In the beginning it didn’t make any money for him and he was using thousands of dollars. But he knew that when we are building websites, we see the results only afterwards. So he kept on buying new content and nowadays that traffic is generating almost a full-time income for him.
The most important thing is to find a good writer because otherwise you will end up editing the article longer than you should. Sometimes when I bought an article from a bad writer I thought that I should have written it myself because editing took almost more time than writing it myself from the start ;).
Now I am regularly using a very good writer that I found on Fiverr. She has cheap prices but very high-quality and unique content.

As if my mind isn’t spinning enough with all the things I want to do to move my online journey forward your article has put another question in my mind? Given me serious food for thought. Writing is not my strong point as I am too concise with my words. Why use 20 when 10 will do the same job? Was my motto at school. Failed English! Big problem is trying to keep costs down when there is no income?
Hi Pete,
even though you wouldn’t be an excellent writer, you can create a successful online business and make money with your website. Many times people don’t even need a “perfect” text but personal opinions from somebody who has more expertise than the readers have. And if you don’t want to write a single text yourself, you can outsource everything and become very successful anyway.
Trying to keep the costs low is wise if you don’t have much income yet. But once you learn the process of making money online, you can rinse and repeat. Even though your income would be small, it will grow exponentially when you grow your business.

Your article enlightened me on the advantages of outsourcing content writing as well as what I need to watch out for as I search for possible writers. Perhaps, I can consider this in the future. It’s true that letting others contribute their views and insights can add a different dimension and texture to what the site can offer, not to mention the fact that it could definitely speed up the process. Thanks so much.
Hi Cassia,
outsourcing content writing is one very tyical way to grow the online business. It’s important to find good writers because if the content is great, it will add big value for your website. I recommend having a look at HireWriters. because they put great emphasis on providing valuable articles for their clients.
