Trying to start an online business - help?

    Hello Everyone

    I'm trying to start my way in the online business world, I have an idea for a website which is interesting to me and have enough traffic.
    I'm a programmer in my profession and I want the content of the articles will be written by other people who will be given the general guidelines of the article. I would really like to know what is my best option to get decent articles for a decent price (for example is 4$ for 500 words will get me a decent article or it probably won't?), where can I find decent people who will write articles and won't give me copied/bad articles? here? on elance? on warriorforum?

    if someone could point me in the right direction I would really really appreciate it.
    as a side note: if someone would like to join forces in some way I open for offers.

    Thanks for all reading!

    If you looking for Good Content Writer then you can go for odesk or hirewriters both are good and $4 for 500 words is enough or may be highest one. The average rate is $2 to $3 Per 500 Words. Wish you Good Luck with your Online Ventures.

    I usually order article on seoclerk.com (just make a WTB (want to buy), then specify your requirement, time for completion + max money)
    Good luck for your business
    PS: traffic is always vital for any businesses, and since it's not a big problems in your case (you claimed above), I would be grateful if you shared your method to gain traffic.
    Thanks!

    The "Buy, Sell, Trade" section right here on DP is a decent place to start, too. Make sure you develop a checklist of what you want in your articles, and provide samples of the type of styles you prefer. That is what will get you the highest quality articles possible.

    Do not fear hiring Filipino writers either, as long as you check them out carefully. Some of them can write fantabulously.

    Hey can I suggest you build on your programming experience and become good at programming apps instead? There are millions of people doing articles, and not so much app programmers/developers, thing is you will get paid far far better than if you would try to start a business doing articles. Hope that helps.

    It seems as if many of you think a $3 article is worth publishing, but I don't believe this to be true. From my experiences, 90% of the content you can buy for under $5 is low quality and should be revised before it's published live on your website. If you want to make real money then take the content more seriously and spend a little more, it would definitely be more beneficial to have a smaller amount of high quality content than it would to have a bunch of low quality content.

    With that said, I agree with mrgadget on using SEOclerks to find the perfect writer for your budget. Good luck!

    If you are looking for writers who can write according to your need, then my suggestion is you should go for freelancer. Writers from all over the world are there who can write depending your budget, and business content. More than that you can find writers from "linked in" or from facebook.
    I feel you can get writer within your described framework, with high quality and without grammatical error.
    Or if you have some flair of writing, you your self write according to your need.
    So, all the best
