There is no shortage of articles for sale and freelance writers online.

However it is difficult to find good ones.

The problem with purchasing and article online is that there is no guarantee that the article will not be sold again. Of course there might be a written guarantee that it won't -- but that doesn't stop some people from doing it regardless.

One other problem is that due to a lack of a standardised portfolio structure it is difficult to evaluate and set apart good writers from mediocre ones. Even if we do achieve this since the Internet is home to such a wide range of topics we can never be sure that a specific writer is up to the task of creating an article about the unique niche.

I have come across professional freelancer sites that offer much higher standards of articles for sale and writers for higher. These sites require all freelancers to hold a Bachelor in English language or higher and charge from $0.20 per word and above.

Since these sites end up pricing a regular 400 word article at $200 or more I assume that this is just not feasible for most individuals seeking to purchase articles. However this is the single approach to purchasing articles online that meets rigorous enough standards to ensure uniqueness and excellence.

Places To Hire Freelancers

You can purchase freelancer services and premade articles at a much cheaper price without these guarantees however.

The first site worth looking at is Constant Content which provides pre-written articles at about $40 and up for unique usage rights. Most of the articles on this site are well written. However there is no guarantee that others who have purchased non-unique rights prior are still using the articles elsewhere.

The second place I recommend looking at is Digital Point Forums. You can post a request in the Sell and Trade forum and receive dozens of offers within hours. The going rate is about $8 for a 400 word article. You have no guarantee about how well it's going to be written or even if it's going to be delivered however!

The final site to see is Get - a - freelancer. This is site where it's possible to post a project for an article to be written. Freelancers then bid on the project. It's a good idea to select a freelancer with a good reputation score but one who is offering a reasonable price. Get - a - freelancer charges a small fee for each project posted so it can be wise to post a request for several articles to be written at once.
