With so many talented ghostwriters these days, online coaches like you do not need to write your own articles in order to promote your coaching programs via article marketing. If you’ve already tried it, I am sure you’ll agree with me when I say that writing and distributing articles day after day after day isn’t really the most exciting thing to do on earth. What I suggest is that you let expert writers do the hard work for you and use the time that you’re going to save on things that you really excel at (for example: designing amazing coaching programs or building customer relations to boost your sign up rate).
Here’s how you can outsource your articles the easy way:
1. Instead of visiting hundreds of websites that are being run by ghostwriters, I would suggest that you cut your research time in half by making use of freelancing sites. Although you will need to pay each time you post a project on these sites, you can be assured that there are benefits in using their services. For example, most of them have escrow service that will safeguard you from getting scammed by your chosen providers. In addition, you’ll be allowed to access genuine feedback from previous customers so you’ll get an idea about the skill level and dependability of your prospective service providers even before you hire them.
2. Next step is to post your article writing project. As there are so many ghostwriters who are looking for freelance jobs these days, you can expect that at least 10 service providers will bid on your project. To avoid getting too many email inquiries, give these people everything that they need to know. Indicate your chosen topic (you’ll get less bids if your topic is too technical), the number of articles that you need, the deadline, and the budget. If you would like to convince those established ghostwriters to bid, ensure that you offer at least $6-$10/article depending on your chosen topic.
3. Give interested parties enough time to bid. Keep your project open for at least 2-3 days so interested ghostwriters from all points of the globe can place their bid. Then, compare their rates and their offers. Keep in mind that getting the services of trusted, skilled ghostwriters doesn’t always mean spending a fortune on this endeavor.
4. Shortlist the 3 best candidates. Next step is to shortlist at least 3 freelancers who demonstrate in-depth knowledge in your chosen niche and who have exceptional writing, SEO, research, and proofreading skills. Ask each of them to write a short sample article just to make sure that their skills match your needs and demands. Before you choose the winning bidder, make sure that you talk about revision requests, submission, copyrights, and plagiarism so you can save yourself from a lot of troubles later on.
