I would be interested to know if anybody has used fiverr.com for article writing? If so, what are the good or bad experiences you have had?

I know that I was short of time to write articles on one of my websites, I used fiverr.com to bridge the gap. I was delivered one well written article and one article that was probably written by a nusery age child!

I would love to know your experiences.

QWERTY,
I have never used fiverr.com. I have outsourced articles in the past, though. The best thing to do is find a good writer and stick with him or try and get "real" reviews of the article writer.

You could try freelancer.com......
There are some good writers there.....

One new feature has just been launched that you'd find interesting. Employers can easily contact and re-hire freelancers they've worked with whom they find really good. It’s called the “Hire Me” button that appears on every freelancer’s Profile page. The site also added a “Contact list” from which you can easily rehire Freelancers whom you’ve previously awarded projects to.

Fiverr? no mate all scammers

**ishuvonet** · 10-22-2011, 02:01 AM

I also think writers in Fiverr cant give you a good quality task.Best is if you use a freelancing site like freelancer to get the best writers to write your articles.

**qwerty** · 10-22-2011, 02:55 AM

Thank you for the responses. I doubt I would use fiverr again due to the quality of work delivered. I have used freelancer for coding work in the past (before the name change) and know there is quality within.

**DianaZou** · 10-22-2011, 04:09 AM

you can try ezinearticles.com where you can find many good writer and article.

**qwerty** · 10-25-2011, 08:48 AM

TY. I have tried ezinearticles.com (written articles there). I think freelancer will give me the quality I am looking for at the end of the day.

**jstthomas** · 11-22-2011, 03:33 PM

I don't think many quality writers use that site. The prices are too low. $5 for a 500 word article is just a penny a word. I can make more money working for minimum wage at McDonald's lol

No need to prefer an automated system that will be soon thrown out spammed by the reputed article directories. They have mastered the art so they are hosting opportunity for us to get some traffic.
I have a bad experience got my account banned goarticles. Neither articledashboard, ezinearticles or even sooperarticles would let your content published

true. i tried fiverr and i was surprise why they had a lot to offer with a minimum cost. when i order one service, i realized that they are also using a software that is spammy. too bad.

I wouldn't get your primary content written from Fiver.
A lot of it in my experience just doesn't read well.
If you do give them a try, check out the gig owner's ratings closely.
If you are willing to spend more, you can get better content from places like TextBroker or TheContentAuthority.

**verthandi** · 01-20-2012, 06:56 PM

My experience says that you should stick with the guy/girl who gives you an article of 4/5 or more.. It really is a hit and miss, even with some of the more established fiverrs

**affhelper** · 02-08-2012, 04:31 PM

My strategy is to find authors outside of freelance sites if I am looking for quality. It's more expensive but it definitely generates better results.

**blossom83** · 03-07-2012, 01:38 PM

I've hired one person (twice) from Fiverr to write articles for me. The articles were 'okay'. Initially, I thought the person was doing 2 articles for $5. Then I found out that they're actually earning about $3+ for the whole gig. If you're looking for one or two articles, it's a good place to search for writers. If you're looking for bulk content, I'd advise you to go somewhere else and search.

G'day

I think Fiverr certainly has its place out there, i've used it once i wouldn't want to knock it although there does seem to be some crazy stuff going on there, but i suppose it comes down to quality. If you owned a Ferrari you wouldn't take it to a back street garage for a service would you ? so likewise if it's quality content your after i'd do what most have suggested on this thread and source a better " mechanic " than rely on someone to throw together something for $5.00
If they are that great at creating articles etc ask yourself why they are working for less than $5.00 per article (remember Fiverr takes a $1.00 fee) and not using their creative skills for their own venture ?

**AntonZaleski** · 03-12-2012, 11:56 AM

Fiverr seems not the best place to get quality articles from. TexBroker or smth like that would be better

**Mavrhiley** · 03-22-2012, 04:15 AM

I found someone on Elance.

**GoodHalfOrg** · 04-22-2012, 12:43 PM

Thanks for the information! We hope to recruit some very good writers to our marketplace!
