There's been a few threads posted already about outsourcing but I wanted to share one of the things I've been outsourcing for quite a while now - article writing.

I don't know about you, but the one thing I hate more than anything else is trying to sit down at the computer and grind out articles. Especially articles that I'm only using for backlinks. Ugh. :404:

So, here's what I do - go to Amazon Turks (or Odesk or other sites like this) and create a project for article writing or sentence re-writing or whatever you need, just be specific about what you want. You set the amount you want to pay, the workers do the project, you approve or reject the work depending on whether they followed your guidelines in the project description or not.

If you're on the fence about whether or not to outsource, just ask yourself this one question - What do I value my time worth?

How about Sixty Cents An Hour to re-write sentences?

^For some reason it won't let me upload a bigger pic, but the red oval highlights the "Effective Hourly Rate: $0.600" or sixty cents an hour. :cool:


Or Seventy Three Cents An Hour to write a unique 500+ word article?
