@Diane - It's good to know you have had good experiences with TextBroker as well. It's nice to be able to palm off content writing, it's not my most favorite job I'll be honest.

@Jake – That’s fair enough, thanks for the info. I’ll certainly look into Constant Content, or maybe even some of your own services, I’m always on the look out for good content writers :).

@Ben - Well I'm glad you've had good luck there,and I'm certainly not trying to dismerit any of the writers there or people who use their services. I just know a lot of writers who have been unhappy with things there, and a handful of clients who weren't happy with the value of the content they receive. As you say it's all relative, and people have different needs for their content to be sure. @Rochelle - A place like Constant Content attracts a lot of high quality writers, or just independent freelancers who you can build a more substantial/direct relationship with.

I have been using Texbrokers for product reviews, site reviews, buying guides, etc. I first put a couple of different things out there and recieved good content from 3 different people. One person seemed to write especially well and matched what I would have written myself. I sent the next order just to her. We started exchanging messages and I have been using her excldusivily ever since.

Sorry – I meant to add that I’ve used TextBrokers several times and have been impressed overall.

@Jake,

If you find TextBrokers to be a lower-end option, then which site(s) do you recommend for top tier choices?

@Jake – I have not experienced the lower quality of textbroker and always use 4/5 star writers and can honestly say I have never had a problem with them or the quality, I’ve been extremely happy.

Whilst all copy should be of good quality, it’s like everything it life, you often get what you pay for and like you say if your not paying much….

I see you offer some good quality services yourself.

From the other side of the picture, speaking as a freelance writer, Textbroker is really not a top tier choice… at least when you’re seeking quality as opposed to bottom-bin prices. I don’t know of a single decent writer who spends any time on Textbroker except to accept high paying personal requests.

That’s not to say there aren’t good writers on there… just the perception within a loose community of writers is basically, you get what you pay for on there. And if you’re not paying much…

All just IMHO.

@Jake - Your absolutely right! It's great not having to sit and write page upon page of content about golf putters or ladies handbags :). Textbroker is my first choice every time as well. @Ray - Thanks for that. Outsourcing is a great thing to get into as far as site building is concerned, it certainly allows things to move a lot more quickly.

I absolutely LOVE textbroker! There\’s NO ONE that can compare, IMO.

Nothing like submitting an order and having it within a few hours… and most of the time even faster than that!

Nice post…

Hi Ben, An excellent blog post, well written and informative.

Outsourcing is something I intend to get into when I get established.
