Press releases are essential communication tools for brands, especially when an important change in the organization occurs, such as adding a new product, bringing in new leadership or announcing a merger or acquisition. Our writers create quality press releases, and our content distribution services can get it published on PRNewswire and other channels.

Our team carefully crafts every step of the content writing process to engage your target audience. From the outset, our production teams, project managers and content marketing strategists research your industry, market, competitors and customers to determine the best way to:

• Create digital articles that resonate with your most promising sales prospects.

There are several factors our professional writers consider when writing to any audience:

Style & Tone

Whether you already have a detailed brand style guide or need assistance developing the right voice for your business, Brafton can help.

Our blog writers are adept at skillfully incorporating nuanced writing styles into everything they produce. We can tailor articles to different customer personas and demographics, adapting the language to engage different customer segments.

Topic Selection

Our content writers use a variety of tools and resources to develop article topics that are guaranteed to resonate with your audience:

• Industry research.

• Breaking news items.
• Customer pain points.

Every topic is carefully researched beforehand to ensure each article we produce finds its intended audience.

Monthly reporting calls will clearly show how each blog article is performing and supporting your brand.

Should You Outsource Article Writing Services?

Outsourcing article writing services to a content marketing agency isn’t your only option, of course. Depending on available resources, you may be able to take that work in-house or assign it to a freelance writer.

There are  pros and cons to outsourcing  this kind of work through an SEO article writing service, but the benefits far outweigh any potential concerns:

Dedicated professional writers who understand your audience, industry and brand.

A full-service content strategy that aligns every article with your marketing and commercial goals.

Comprehensive topic and audience research ensures that each article resonates with your readers.

Strict quality control measures produce clean copy that accurately reflects your brand and your message.

Agency writers have years of experience working in different industries, developing significant subject matter expertise.

Expert writers can lend their article rewriting services to mold existing site content into SEO-enriched works that draw more organic traffic and increase search ranking.

Full-service agencies provide services beyond copywriting, including design, video, social media, web development, marketing strategy and SEO consultation.

Content writing services are typically far less expensive than hiring an in-house editorial team.

In-house teams have the benefit of working closely with your internal stakeholders. That being said, we pride ourselves on our responsiveness. Our strategists, project managers and professional writers feel like an extension of your team.

In-house teams are already intimately familiar with your brand’s audience, messaging and style guidelines, but agency writers take the time to become brand experts in their own right.

Contracting freelancers may be a more affordable option. However, they may not have a firm grasp on your brand, your audience or your industry to consistently produce content that meets your standards.

In most cases, the benefits of working with a content marketing agency far outweigh building a dedicated internal team or handing assignments to unvetted freelancers.

Brafton’s article writing services deliver more than just quality content. Everything we produce is in support of a broader content marketing strategy. Our teams routinely measure and analyze article performance, and continually refine content to draw more traffic, increase search visibility, produce qualified leads and, ultimately, generate more revenue.

We’re helping our clients meet and exceed their commercial goals, one article at a time.

Stay Healthy Through Autumn and Winter: Home Remedies Against Colds

The common cold is just that: common. Around the world, adults and children alike can expect to struggle with a cold at least once each year. While no one is immune to all colds, there are a number of ways to protect yourself against colds, boost your immune system, and fight off colds quickly.

How to Survive the Cold and Flu Season

At times, it might feel as if you are doing everything right, yet you still come down with a cold or the flu. There are certainly some risk factors , such as working with children, that will increase the likelihood of catching a cold. However, there are also a number of lifestyle and behavior changes that can decrease your chance of having a cold this season.

Keep Your Hands Clean: By some estimates, adults touch their faces up to 3,000 times per day! Touching your eyes, mouth, or nose means you are increasing your risk of spreading germs. To ensure that your hands are clean, make it a habit to wash your hands at every possible opportunity. For those times when it might not be convenient to wash your hands with soap and hot water, carry hand sanitizer instead.

Avoid Those Who are Already Sick: When someone you care about is under the weather, it is normal to want to reach out and help them. However, be wary of spending a lot of time with those who are already sick. Encourage friends and colleagues to stay at home if they are feeling unwell. Instead of spending time with a friend who has a cold, drop off some soup at the door and pick up the phone for a quick chat instead.

Ditch Your Cloth Bag: Many people carry around a bag or a purse with them on a regular basis, but not everyone takes time to clean that bag. Since cloth bags can collect germs and encourage the spread of viruses, a better option is to invest in a vinyl or leather bag. These materials can be wiped down with ease and kept clean, reducing your exposure to unwanted germs during cold and flu season.

Steer Clear of Communal Foods: Sharing is caring, but not when it comes to food and drink during cold season. Skip the communal tapas platter or the shared appetizers at your next dinner party and stick to your own plate. While you can control your own hygiene habits, you can’t always tell who else might be coming down with a cold or who simply didn’t wash their hands before sitting down to dinner.

Boost Your Immune System to Fight Off Viruses

In some cases, there is no way to avoid coming in contact with someone who has a cold or the flu. Fortunately, there are ways to strengthen your immune system so that you can avoid viruses. Many different lifestyle factors can impact a person’s immune system, and each of the following tips can play a role in improving your immune health.

Stay Active: It is no surprise that exercise offers several health benefits. While extreme endurance sports may have a negative impact on immunity, regular, everyday exercise can go a long way in boosting your resistance to illness. Whether you enjoy walking in the morning or hitting the gym after work, regular activity could be a key to your health throughout the cold and flu season.

Eat a Healthy Diet: To operate at the highest level, your immune system needs to be fueled properly. Although vitamins and supplements can certainly help, the best foundation is a healthy, nutritious and varied diet. Ideally, you should enjoy foods that contain a wide range of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. If you have a deficiency in certain micronutrients, such as zinc or Vitamin C, you may be more susceptible to colds. Therefore, eating a nutritious diet can go a long way in boosting your immune system and protecting you from any colds going around.

Stop Smoking: There is a direct link between smoking cigarettes and being able to fight off infectious diseases. Smokers are more likely to be susceptible to colds, and they may also experience cold symptoms for longer. To greatly improve your immune system’s strength, reducing or minimizing the consumption of cigarettes is key. In addition, those who do not smoke may want to take care to avoid secondhand smoke, which can pose some of the same problems for the immune system.

Minimize Alcohol Consumption: Alcohol can have a tremendous and negative impact on the strength of the immune system. The microbes in your gut are part of the body’s defense against bacteria, but the consumption of alcohol can damage the lining of the intestines and make it easier for bacteria to enter the digestive system. While regular alcohol consumption can be a problem, binge drinking may be even worse. During cold and flu season, reducing your alcohol consumption can be one way to avoid risk and stay healthy.

Get Enough Sleep: Routinely skipping out on sleep could have a disastrous impact on your immune system, making you more susceptible to colds. When you sleep, your body produces cytokines, a type of protein that can be used to fight back against inflammation or infection. When you don’t get enough sleep, your body is not able to manufacture enough of those cytokines to keep your immune system working. Catching up on sleep and sticking to a regular sleep schedule may be the easiest way to reduce your chance of catching a cold this season.

Aim to Reduce Lifestyle Stress: The immune system is a complicated system of the body, and it can react to many different sources of stress. Even if you eat well, avoid cigarettes and alcohol, and even get plenty of sleep, you can still decrease the strength of your immune system if you experience high levels of stress. Activities like meditation, reading, or any other form of stress relief could boost your immune system and help you resist everything from the common cold all the way up to more severe illnesses.

Home Remedies to Get Rid of Colds in Less Time

Even if you enact all of the suggestions listed above, there is still the possibility that you might come down with a cold. Fortunately, there are a number of home remedies that could help to treat an infection and get rid of a cold in less time.

Stay Hydrated: Dehydration can worsen the symptoms of a cold. At the same time, it can be challenging to drink enough fluids when you are feeling unwell. Staying hydrated is vital, so it needs to be a priority. While plain water is a great place to start, it may also be necessary to ingest calories or salt to boost hydration and increase energy levels. A glass of orange juice can provide some much-needed energy along with some Vitamin C, while a cup of broth can deliver salt as well as hydration. Warm fluids can do double duty as a way to stay hydrated and a way to loosen congestion and make it easier to breathe despite a stuffy nose.

Get Plenty of Rest: Above all else, it is important to rest when you have a cold. Although you might be tempted to get to work or keep up with your regular routine, doing everyday activities when you are under the weather will only prolong recovery. Allow your body to use its energy for healing and take time to rest. This is a great opportunity to take a nap or watch a movie. If you must get tasks done, stick to those jobs that are critical and delegate or postpone everything else.

Try Gargling:</b Having a cold can also mean a scratchy or sore throat. This might lead to discomfort, and it might prevent you from drinking fluids and staying hydrated. Gargling with a mixture of warm salt water can temporarily relieve a sore throat. Gargling warm salt water can be done safely up to six times per day.

Increase Humidity in Your Environment: Dry air can worsen the symptoms of your cold, and it can also decrease your comfort throughout your recovery. To increase comfort and make it easier to breathe through blocked nasal passages, use a humidifier to quickly add moisture to the air. Another way to increase humidity is to run a hot shower and make the most of the steam created as a result.

Use an Extra Pillow: Since you’ll be getting plenty of extra rest when you’re struggling through a cold, make sure to add an extra pillow to your bed at night. That little extra bit of elevation can relieve uncomfortably blocked nasal passages, allowing you to breath better and sleep through the night. The right position will drain your sinuses and improve your sleep, helping your body to recover faster at the same time.

Each of these home remedies can play a part in keeping you healthy. Even during the cold and flu season, those who are able to boost their immune system have a fighting chance at avoiding illness.

Cryptocurrencies: Are they the investment of the future?

The rise of cryptocurrencies over the past decade promises to transform the payments landscape. Since the release of the first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin , in 2009, more than 6,000 alternatives have been created . Unlike other mediums of exchange, cryptocurrencies rely on decentralized controls using distributed ledger technology . Trusted third parties are not involved in the transaction processes. Cryptocurrencies are borderless digital forms of currency that are not controlled by governments . These digital currencies can be valuable investments, but investors should be aware that they are highly volatile.

What is cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is a virtual currency that is used as a medium of exchange . Unlike fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies do not have centralized controls. Instead, they are decentralized, with each user of an exchange having control over his or her wallet. Cryptocurrencies have seven key characteristics , including the following:

• Digital forms of payment
• Use of a decentralized network
• Peer-to-peer transactions only
• No involvement of trusted third parties
• No personal information has to be given
• Cryptography with each user having his or her private code to access his or her wallets

Unlike fiat currencies, which are the individual, physical currencies used in different countries, cryptocurrencies are entirely digital and only exist online . They use a decentralized network comprised of all of the individual users of an exchange. These currencies use distributed ledger technology to remove the need for the involvement of trusted third parties . The most widely used distributed ledger technology is blockchain technology , which is a database that contains the history of all of the transactions that have ever occurred with a cryptocurrency. The data on the blockchain cannot be altered and can be seen by everyone on the exchange.

Cryptocurrencies use cryptography to secure their exchanges and the transactions that occur. The users do not have to provide personal information , and they use private codes to access their wallets . Because of the pseudonymous nature of cryptocurrencies, it is crucial for investors who own Bitcoin or an alternative coin to closely guard their private codes. The only way that they can access their holdings is to use their codes, and it is impossible to prove that they own cryptocurrencies without their codes .

When a user wishes to make a transaction, the request to send bitcoin or altcoin is submitted to the decentralized network or announced. Individual nodes called miners take the transaction information and encrypt it in a process called hashing while adding additional transaction information and hashing that as well until enough information exists to form a block . The miners then work to solve cryptography puzzles to elucidate the encrypted code of the block. The first miner who can figure out the code will be able to add the block to the cryptocurrency’s blockchain, and he or she will receive a reward.

Once a new block is added to the blockchain, the other nodes on the network will verify it. The entire blockchain for the cryptocurrency will be checked to ensure that the information matches. Once the block is verified through a process called consensus , it will be validated and confirmed so that the miner will be allowed to add the block to the blockchain. The transaction will then be completed, and the recipient will receive the cryptocurrency that was sent by the sender.

A person cannot physically hold a cryptocurrency. Instead, it exists on the blockchain. People have public keys that they can give to others to send them cryptocurrency. They also have private keys that they can use to access the cryptocurrencies that they own. The private and public keys are stored in wallets, which can either exist as digital wallets online or offline on paper or a hard drive. The person who has the private and public keys owns the cryptocurrency, making it crucial for people to take steps to protect this information.

What are the advantages of cryptocurrencies as a payment system?

Cryptocurrencies offer several advantages as a payment system over fiat currencies. Moving a fiat currency across the world is more difficult because of the various exchange rates and governmental and banking regulations. Since cryptocurrencies are global , they are simple to send and receive across borders without requiring approval from external authorities or sources. The peer-to-peer focus of cryptocurrency exchanges removes the need for trusted third parties to verify and approve transactions.

Cryptocurrency transactions are much more discrete than other types of transactions. Since they are pseudonymous, a user’s transactions with cryptocurrency are not readily associated with his or her identity. While cryptocurrency transactions are not truly untraceable, they are much more difficult to link to an individual than traditional types of transactions are .

A major benefit of cryptocurrencies is the greater autonomy that they afford to people. Users have a much greater level of control over their money and how they spend it since there is no intermediary authority such as a government or bank in control of cryptocurrency exchanges.

Cryptocurrencies are also not subject to many of the types of banking fees that are inherent with fiat currencies and traditional banking systems. While there may be occasional fees for sending or receiving cryptocurrency, there are no minimum account balances, account maintenance fees, overdraft charges, or returned deposit fees associated with cryptocurrencies. International payments using cryptocurrencies are much cheaper than sending money by wire. Since the transactions occur quickly , there also are no lengthy weights for bank authorizations on international transfers of cryptocurrencies.

One great promise of cryptocurrencies as a payment system is its ability to provide access to money to people wherever the internet is available . People who live in areas without access to traditional banking systems may participate in cryptocurrency exchanges. Women in countries that don’t allow them to open bank accounts can have greater control over their money with cryptocurrency exchanges.

Overview of common cryptocurrencies

After Bitcoin’s creation and subsequent success, many other cryptocurrencies have been created and released. While there are thousands of these altcoins , a few have emerged that are more common than others.

Bitcoin (BTC) was the first cryptocurrency and was released in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto , an unknown person or group of people. As of Feb. 6, 2020, Bitcoin had a market cap of $177.5 billion and was trading at $9,753.11 for one Bitcoin.

Ethereum (ETH) is an altcoin that offers a software platform from which developers can build and run decentralized applications and smart contracts without concerns about fraud, control, or downtime. Ether is the token offered by Ethereum. This cryptocurrency was launched in 2015 and is now the second-largest cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin . As of Feb.6, 2020, it had a market cap of $23.3 billion and was trading at $213.05.

Litecoin (LTC) was launched in 2011 by Charlie Lee , a graduate of MIT. It is similar to Bitcoin but offers a faster confirmation process because of its quicker rate of block generation. As of Feb. 6, 2020, Litecoin had a market cap of $4.7 billion and was trading at $73.22.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) was created in 2017 as a hard fork from the original Bitcoin . A hard fork occurs when a disagreement arises between the coders and miners. In the case of Bitcoin Cash, its creation arose out of an argument about the size of the blocks allowed by Bitcoin. The proponents of Bitcoin Cash wanted to make the blocks larger to make the transaction process faster. As of Feb. 6, 2020, Bitcoin Cash had a market cap of $8.0 billion and was trading at $439.08.

Libra (LIBRA) is the much-hyped digital currency that Facebook has yet to launch as of Feb. 2020 . On June 18, 2019, Facebook released a whitepaper on Libra. This digital currency is planned for launch later in 2020. With Facebook’s massive global reach, Libra will likely garner substantial attention because of the potential for large exchanges on its platform.

In addition to these common cryptocurrencies, there are thousands of others. Investors should conduct due diligence and thoroughly investigate any cryptocurrencies before investing money because of their high degree of volatility .

Criticism of cryptocurrencies

Governments and taxing authorities around the world have had some strong criticisms of cryptocurrencies. Since they are relatively anonymous, governments worry that they could be used for money laundering and illicit trade .

A few countries ban cryptocurrencies , while most have some type of regulatory scheme to address and tax profits made from cryptocurrencies. In the U.S., cryptocurrency profits are taxed at the capital gains tax rate, which starts at 15%.

As an investment, cryptocurrencies are known for their volatility . Investors who fail to conduct due diligence before investing in cryptocurrencies could sustain substantial losses. Like other high-risk investments, investing in cryptocurrencies should not be viewed as a get-rich-quick scheme. Individuals should take the time necessary to learn about cryptocurrency and to thoroughly research any altcoin that they might be considering before getting into the digital currency market.

A big problem with cryptocurrencies can occur when someone dies. If the person has cryptocurrency holdings, those holdings may be lost if no one else has access to his or her private and public keys. Some cryptocurrency owners are wary of giving these numbers to anyone. However, if they have not made arrangements for the keys to be passed on to their intended beneficiaries, their holdings will vanish when they die. A solution to this issue is to draft a will. Some people are concerned about providing their lawyers with their keys, but including cryptocurrencies in estate planning is important for ensuring that their loved ones will have access to them after they pass away.

Outlook on cryptocurrencies: Where is the journey headed?

While cryptocurrencies occupy a small space in the financial marketplace, they are unlikely to go away. Following a meteoric rise in 2017 and a large crash in 2018, cryptocurrencies had a relatively quiet year in 2019. Various cryptocurrencies have been unstable assets. However, many tech and financial industry experts believe that cryptocurrencies are disruptive and transformative , making it likely for them to change the banking and payments landscape in the future .

Bitcoin and altcoins have experienced tremendous volatility as investment assets, however, they could become more stable with greater acceptance . Many transactions are increasingly occurring online, including banking and payment functions. The availability of cryptocurrencies as a safe, decentralized option for payments could help to move them more into the mainstream. The key to whether to invest in cryptocurrencies depends on an investor’s understanding and acceptance of blockchain technology and his or her willingness to conduct the necessary research before getting into the market. As with any other type of investment, people should make certain that they are diversified to protect themselves when they invest in cryptocurrencies.

For many business professionals, writing articles that will rank on Google can be tedious. The hours spent researching, writing, and editing can make the entire process feel sort of like a chore.

But the alternative is spending a bunch of money on PPC ads or acquiring no customers at all!

Neither of those is a good option.

As such, article writing services have emerged to help businesses harness the power of content at scale — without the headache.

What is a blog writing service?

A blog or article writing service is a service that helps you expedite your article writing output to support your SEO goals. 

Producing content from scratch can be an expensive and time-consuming process. From coming up with an idea or the right keywords to producing thousands of words, it can take hours—even days!—depending on the level of research and editing required, not to mention publishing time.

Article writing services are organizations that provide for-hire writing, editing, and content generation . Basically, you let them know what type of content you want–from social media posts to long-form content –what you want it to be about, and any other details they request or you require. That company then writes articles to your specifications and brand guidelines.

Once you review and accept the content (or request revisions if you have them) you can publish the post right on your site. You’ll most likely have to spend some time editing to create a consistent voice in your posts, but the more exact your content briefs are–and the better the article writing service is–the less time this will take, and the more time (and stress) you can save.

What to look for in an article writing service

What are the important things to look out for when outsourcing content creation to a writing service?

• Quality is most important. Even the cheapest blog writing service isn’t worth it if what you get isn’t publishable and takes a lot of time and work to rewrite.
• You need to think about pricing too. Is the service within your marketing budget? 
• Speed: how quickly can you get the content you need? Do you need one quick blog post or consistent pieces for your blog?
• Ease of use . How do you select a writer? Is it straightforward to submit content briefs? Tracking your current and past orders?
• Expertise: Do writers follow SEO best practices? Are they experts in finance, marine biology, or whatever service you provide? The primary goal of Google (and other search engines) is to accurately answer the question you’re searching for. This has led to an increasing priority placed on E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) as a ranking factor. Therefore, to rank a site or article well on Google , you need content that is relevant to what individuals are searching for and authority and expertise in the subject area. This means you’ll want writers that know the intricacies of the niche you work in.
• Additional options : Do you want a content creation platform with WordPress plugins? One that does all content creation, from strategy to keyword research, to publishing? Is a content generator a better path for you?

Blog writing and content creation platforms vary in what they offer, and some features may be more important to you than others. This is why we’re covering the best article-writing service options today.

3. TextBroker

Textbroker’s online content creation platform has thousands of US authors who write articles specifically optimized for search engines and keywords of your choice.

How it Works: You choose an open order, direct order, or team order. Open orders mean your order is completed by any available writer after choosing quality and price. With direct orders, you commission an author of choice to write your content, and with team orders, you choose a team of writers on the platform to do all of your content writing.

Cost: You sign up for free to use the Textbroker platform, and then pay for content. For Open Orders, the price ranges from 1.5 cents a word to 7.2 cents a word depending on the quality of work, with a $0.40 processing fee per order. All Direct Orders and Team Orders start at 2.7 cents a word. 

For example, if you want 100 words for 1-star quality, you can get that for $1.90, plus the processing fee. But if you want 12,000 words at 5-star quality, that will get you up to $860.40.

Upwork is an online platform that connects professionals to work on projects from app development to SEO, social media marketing, content writing, graphic design, admin help and thousands of others.

How it Works : You create a free account, and then post a blog writing job with your requirements. You’ll then receive proposals from potential writers and determine the best match using their AI service, reviews, portfolios, and the prices they bid.

Cost : Pricing depends on the writer and what they bid. It can be an hourly or fixed price. On hourly contracts, they count keystrokes and take screenshots of the freelancer’s screen for time stamps. On fixed price contracts, you agree on milestones and only pay up when those milestones are hit.

5. Scripted

Scripted is a freelance writer marketplace that’s on the higher end of the price range that provides writers that can create a variety of content, from blog posts to social media posts to product descriptions and content tune-ups.

How it Works : You decide what content you need, provide your content brief, and then either select your writer or allow Scripted to select one for you. You can request revisions before paying for the work, and edit the piece right on the platform.

Cost: Pricier than most blog writing services, Scripted memberships range from $124 per month , up to $999 for the “ Cruise Control ” package. 

6. Writer Access

At Writer Access , you pay a membership fee to access the platform’s freelancers and different tiers of features and tools.  You can then use their advanced search and AI Matcher that uses text analysis of any sample you provide to choose a writer.

Depending on your plan, they also offer SEO integrations, design integration, image libraries (for an extra cost), and various marketplaces for writers, designers, and additional content creator needs. 

How it Works: After choosing a subscription, you find writers through Writer Access’ advanced search, order your project, and manage the workflow all on their platform. Revisions are unlimited.

Cost: You pay a monthly fee to access the platform, and then pay content fees when you place orders for freelance writers priced by project or by word. Basic costs $39/month, Pro $59/month, and Premium $99/month.

Verblio is a subscription blog writing service that writes posts for content marketing and SEO. The platform handles the logistics of working with the freelancers, and you provide edits and feedback. 

How it Works: When you make an account, you explain your audience, voice, and provide writing samples. Then for each content piece needed, you include a title, description, CTAs, keywords and details, and set a priority or assign a deadline.

Verblio chooses a writer and sends you the piece to review, which you accept, decline, or request edits as needed. Plus, if you’re not pleased with the work, you can get free content from a new writer. WordPress and Hubspot integrations are also available.

Cost: You pay a subscription for site access, and then pay for content. You can choose a monthly plan from 300 to 2,000 words/piece, at $35 a piece and $360 a piece respectively, as well as how many pieces you need each month.

So, if you want one 1,000 blog posts per week every month, you’d end up at $480/month.  You can also choose extra plans, such as images, search engine optimizations, and account management. 

Benefits of using content writing services

What are the advantages of hiring blog writing services? 

Growing your SEO-driven blog with proper, quality, fast content creation is one of the best ways to build your business and see a profit. If you blog two times a week for three months (about 20 posts) about a topic you know very well, you can create a blog audience large enough to engage users, build a community, sell products, and make a profit.

If you can master SEO and make articles rank on Google at will, you’re going to be able to build a repeatable and profitable business. And a huge piece of this puzzle is accelerating your writing and publishing output.

Sure, you’ll still need to read, edit, and add your own voice and style to the content. But the primary benefit of using blog writing services is the time they save. 

Beat Writer’s Block

Writer’s block is a real issue that can slow content production. Though with article writing services you still need to provide content ideas, no more staring at a blank page trying to get started! 

Reduce Costs

To build a business from your blog, great, consistent content is necessary. But, it may not be your strong suit, or it’s better for you to focus on other aspects of your business.

In that case, investing in content can be cost-effective because your time can be spent elsewhere, and you’ll get quality content from experts who enjoy the researching and writing process (speaking from experience).

Plus, full-service firms like GrowthBar will help you with your content strategy as well — meaning you’ll spend less time on content that doesn’t convert.

How to Get the Most Out of Article Writing Services

• Write amazing content briefs . Before you choose a blog writing service, spend time on your SEO requirements, so the service knows which keywords you want to rank for, and the best practices you expect. And though most blog writing services write specifically for search engine optimization, understanding the ins & outs of writing a search-engine optimized blog post yourself is invaluable when growing a blog. Need help creating your content briefs? Check out our how-to guide here. 
• Make sure it fits your budget. If it’s going to have that cost-effective benefit, you need to choose a blog writing service that fits your budget. Creating content is important to any business plan, but it’s supposed to boost profits, not hurt them.
• Find writers you love . Content creation services can pair you with writers with all different backgrounds, experiences, and education. Once you work with a couple of writers you love, you can request these writers in the future, even though it might cost a bit more. The more experience they have writing for your business, the better their writing will get, and you’ll receive exponentially great content. 
• Know your business . This sounds obvious but it’s an important step, especially if your blog or business is relatively new. Though you can edit and revise as needed, planning your content topics (like with SEO content clusters ), having outlines ready, and knowing the “voice” of your blog is very helpful. This goes back to “EAT”ing: If you’re writing about medical or financial topics, you’re in a special category of search Google calls YMYL (your money, your life). This means that Google scrutinizes this sort of content to the highest degree. Make sure to enlist writers who have experience in this type of content. +1 if you can find field experts like doctors or financiers.

Conclusion 

Using a content creation company like any of the blog writing services listed here will help you accelerate your writing output and see your blog and website visitors grow. Just make sure to outline your articles with your SEO requirements, and your content best practices, and then choose a blog writing service that is the right cost for your company.

Simply put, when you're in the market to hire article writers, Scripted offers a flexible, cost-effective solution every step of the way — here's how it works:

Content Strategy & Ideation

Content Creation & Workflow

Publishing & Promotion

Performance & Optimization

Although our SEO content, copywriting, and rewriting services tend to cost slightly more than some of the other commonly used platforms online, our clients get what they pay for. Still affordable enough for growing a small and medium-sized business, yet capable of handling the needs of large corporations, there are options for every budget. Memberships range from $199-$499 per month (including content credits) for the  Self Serve basic and premium packages up to $2,500-5,000+ per month for the Dedicated  agencies and enterprises packages — which are still affordable in regards to clients' resulting ROI. Whether you strive to increase your conversion rate or simply grow your site's traffic, Scripted can help you easily reach each milestone.

Scripted Testimonials

What clients are saying :

"Scripted has been a wonderful resource for original content across many topics. They're effective at pitching new ideas or taking raw thoughts and building them into well-crafted masterpieces of content."

"Scripted gives me the resources I need to be successful. I can count on my projects with Scripted to be on time, on budget and the quality we demand. Their writers really are an extension of my team."

"We liked the Scripted process, which allowed us to put our general ideas out to a group of writers and get thoughts and ideas back. It helps to have more brain power and creative thinking on a topic rather than just a single in-house writer."

Pros of Scripted

You'll gain access to high-quality writers based on Scripted's selective screening process. In addition, content comes with a 100 percent quality guarantee. With a 98 percent acceptance rate across the platform, this is based on the platform's high-quality talent pool.

Scripted's interface is easy to use, making it easy to navigate — yet extensive enough that clients can enjoy a wide range of unique features. We even give you 30 days free to try it out!

If you don't have time to search for subject matter writers, the platform's SmartMatch technology will help you find the perfect writer based on your specifications. You'll also be able to receive free pitches and blog ideas to better drive creative and analytical processes, all while saving your most precious resource of all — your time.

Cons of Scripted

As discussed, in comparison to other  content writing  services, Scripted does come with a slightly higher price tag. However, writers are able to set their own rates, offering a competitive marketplace.

Bottom line: Scripted is ideal for all businesses — big and small. Offering high-quality content and professional article writers at flexible membership fees, we're committed to your content marketing needs. The platform itself is intuitive and reliable, powering your marketing strategies with ease.

2. ClearVoice

ClearVoice's website states: " Better content.   It's what we do." In comparison to some of the other suggestions on this list, ClearVoice.com is a much more extensive marketing platform. Being an assignment-driven system, ClearVoice can help you tackle each campaign with ease. Although they offer content writing services, they also specialize in project management.  

ClearVoice has been referred to as the "Swiss Army knife" for content marketing. However, for some, the platform is too extensive for their current needs. If you simply require reliable, quality content, you might spend money on unnecessary all of the bells and whistles that come with ClearVoice.

Related reading: ClearVoice: Reviews, Features, Prices, and Alternatives .

The platform offers built-to-order pricing . So, depending on your membership, you could end up paying between $250 to $7000+ a month.   In contrast, if your marketing needs are rapidly increasing and warrant better control of various campaigns, all while receiving consistent content, ClearVoice can help you tackle your growth strategies.

ClearVoice Testimonials

Here's what ClearVoice's clients are saying :    

• "I love the service. Long learning curve."  
• "ClearVoice helps take your blog PM software to new heights."  
• "Powerful content creation management platform."  

Pros of ClearVoice

• Provides excellent customer service, providing greater peace of mind.
• It offers a simple and efficient way to better manage your entire team's content.

Cons of ClearVoice

• Initially, use involves a steep learning curve.
• Tough for users to find writers well-versed in industry-specific topics.  

Bottom line : If you're looking for a more comprehensive contenting marketing solution and have a clear strategy in mind, ClearVoice may be an ideal choice. Whether you require greater control over your workflow or more collaborative tools, ClearVoice offers a more holistic marketing solution. At its core, this all-in-one platform is somewhat of a niche product best suited for those who plan on generating a large volume of blogs monthly. 

3. Textbroker

As they say at Textbroker: "Get custom content that is fast, affordable, and scalable." This platform's goal is to bring its writers and clients together in a quick and efficient manner.

Their talent pool is immense, with more than 100,000 US-verified writers. This allows the platform to offer greater flexibility in its pricing.

Related reading :   Textbroker — Reviews, Features, Prices, and Alternative  

What makes this platform unique is that Textbroker operates on a 3- to 5-star rating system. For example, a 3-star author would cost 2.3 cents/word, whereas a 5-star author would cost 9.0 cents/word. Textbroker also offers various pricing options based on your desired service level (view Textbroker's pricing model here .)   This level of flexibility allows clients to budget accordingly. However, some indicated it took them a bit of time to find their go-to writers; once they did, they were incredibly happy with the service.

Textbroker Testimonials

Here's what a few of Textbroker's clients had to say on SiteJabber.com :    

• "One of my favorite things about the TB system is you can choose the quality of the writers. 5 stars usually mean very little editing (if any). I've been able to put together a team of quality writers who understand the different markets I serve and are available to do the work in a timely manner."  
• "I use TextBroker to quickly get content for our website and in less than a few hours, we typically have the article being worked on. Then a day or less later, it's done. Love it!"  
• "We have been using Textbroker off and on for a few years. When we find the perfect writers, it's a love affair, but it's a matter of finding the right one. The service is great, turnaround is awesome."  

Pros of Textbroker

Perhaps the most beneficial feature associated with Textbroker is its simplicity and ease of use. This allows clients to receive content fast and efficiently.  

Cons of Textbroker

• Some clients have had issues with the platform's customer service. In particular, this seems to be the case when it comes to revisions and turnaround times (especially when investing in the lowest pricing tier).  
• The majority of poor reviews are written by those who worked for the platform.  

Bottom line : If you're looking for content today, TextBroker offers a simple, fast solution. Depending on your needs, patience may be required to find the right content writers for your brand voice and overall vision. For SEO-optimized content developed by professional writers, consider using Scripted's professional article writing services .

4. Contently

If your current goal is to build your brand through quality content and effective marketing strategies, Contently can help you meet your growing needs. Acting as more of an end-to-end marketing platform, this platform enables you to view key insights each step of the way.

Much like ClearVoice, Contently is known for its hybrid, holistic approach. This is why the majority of clients who use this service are larger companies (1000+ employees) that require higher levels of organization across numerous campaigns.

Related reading: Contently: Reviews, Features, Prices, and Alternative

There's no denying that Contently is an excellent platform. However, it also comes with a more hefty price tag. Although costs vary immensely, clients tend to spend between $50,000 and $200,000 per quarter . Since Contently uses a series of specialized algorithms, they'll help you determine the best place to publish your content to reach your unique goals. When investing in this platform, companies are guaranteed engagement.

Contently Testimonials

Contently has achieved an overall rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 on G2 Crowd. Learn more about what their clients have to say here .  

Pros of Contently

• The ability to consolidate all marketing tasks and campaigns in one place, increasing efficiency and overall productivity
• Wide range of supportive tools to help you reach your unique goals
• Access to talented writers, journalists, photographers, illustrators, designers, and videographers who can help take your brand to new heights

Cons of Contently

• Very costly, making it a poor choice for growing businesses that don't yet have access to an immense marketing budget
• Concerns surrounding the editing software and the analytics component of the platform based on the unique need of highly-established businesses

Bottom line: If you're a larger corporation with a high marketing budget, this service will help you maximize your ROI. Offering clients an opportunity to revolutionize their brand online, Contently has proven growth strategies. Just remember, this isn't an affordable option for most small and medium-sized businesses.  

5. WriterAccess

If you're strictly looking for content that is ready to publish on your site or elsewhere, you may find WriterAccess useful, especially if you're looking for budget-friendly options.

It's worth noting that although WriterAccess is affordable, it may interfere with the overall quality of work you receive. Because this service lacks on-staff editors, it's possible your content will contain errors (though you can pay more for higher-quality writers). In that sense, if you're confident in your ability to make minor edits and are more interested in consistent, affordable content, WriterAccess is a great choice.

Related reading: WriterAccess: Reviews, Features & Alternative

With the ability to set your price and job specifications, you'll ensure your weekly content goals are met. The majority of clients agree that WriterAccess helps them scale their marketing efforts as they continue to focus on their growing business. However, many agree that the quality of the content they receive isn't always the greatest. In fact, WriterAccess received 3.5 stars out of 5 on G2 Crowd.

Read more about what clients had to say about their experiences here .  

Pros of WriterAccess

Access to a large pool of writers, ranging from 2-star to 6-star ratings. This rating system provides greater flexibility in terms of your current budget.  

WriterAccess prides itself on excellent customer service — regardless of what membership level you choose.  

Cons of WriterAccess

Although affordable, many clients are not happy with the quality of writing. If you're not comfortable investing in subpar content, this may not be the best platform for you.  

The platform and interface aren't as flexible as some would expect.  

Bottom line : If you're looking for a platform that provides basic, simplistic writing jobs, you'll be able to access a lot of writers and enjoy quick turnaround times. However, if you invest in writers that are rated 3 stars or below, you're better off investing your money elsewhere.  

6. NewsCred

NewsCred, a content marketing management platform that does it all, has since been acquired by Optimizely . The new platform allows you to manage every one of your assets, content, and media in one place.

Well-received among active clients, Newscred used to cost more than most content creation services (most basic plan costs around $2,950 per month, up to $10,500 per month for their pro subscription model). The new Optimizely platform appears to offer more affordable options and flexibility. Limited access to the content marketing platform is free for up to 5 users). For more content management features, the plan starts at $79 per user on a monthly basis, with the option to sign up for a free trial. If you're looking for a more comprehensive solution, you must request customized pricing.

When compared to other services within the content marketing category, Optimizely ranked highest for version control and lowest for SEO. Although the platform has a 4.2 out of 5.0 rating, the most recent users are happy with the content services and support they receive.  

Pros of Optimizely

Offers a wide range of tools and features, particularly regarding your ability to better manage and organize key processes and workflows.  

Offers a comprehensive analytics solution, including artificial intelligence.  

Cons of Optimizely

Some clients have been disappointed in the lack of dashboard capabilities such as reporting.

Users have complained that the previous platform was better, but since the updates appear to be more satisfied.  

Bottom line : Optimizely is a high-quality, credible platform. However, it's likely that it's still extremely costly. Unless you have thousands to spend on your marketing efforts each month, it's best to consider other options.

Skyword's pricing model is available upon request. However, they tend to work more with medium and large businesses. As stated on G2 Crowd , Skyword ranks in the 50th percentile for cost. Therefore, if you're a smaller business that's just starting out, this may not be the best option for you.  

Pros  of Skyword

Skyword is easy to use and is fairly straightforward in terms of its interface, It's also updated often to improve efficiency.  

Helps companies scale quality content production.  

Cons of Skyword

The text editor can be a touch buggy, causing formatting issues. There have also been a number of bugs reported, as well as problems with a lag in the system.  

Bottom line : Skyword works with some fairly large enterprises that can afford the services they offer. If you're simply in the market for quality content without the need for additional services, there are more simplistic, affordable options available.  

Another commonly used marketplace,  iWriter , has been around for quite some time. Known to be one of the fastest writing services in terms of turnaround times, this has also sparked concerns regarding quality. This is because although their writer pool is massive, this makes quality control much harder to manage.

In terms of pricing, the content marketing platform offers three tiers — premium, elite, and elite plus. To give you an example, a "premium" 1000-word article would cost you $20 in comparison to $80 when investing in the "elite plus" packaging. Learn more here .  

Pros of iWriter

iWriter offers the cheapest option for their "top tier" — meaning, the highest quality writers on iWriter cost less than other agencies.  

Known for its speed, if you'd like a lot of content quickly (and don't mind editing), iWriter may be a good option. Overall, the process of ordering content is very simple, allowing for a speedy turnaround.  

Cons of iWriter

You'll likely experience a massive difference in quality. Although you can obtain higher quality content when investing in the top tier, if you're going to spend that money, your budget may be better spent elsewhere.  

This platform is known for "spammy" practices. Also, writers can't hyperlink throughout, which is often a major pain point.  

Bottom line : iWriter is a great place to get super cheap content. However, "cheap" and "high-quality" don't mix. If you'd like content fast and don't mind editing, this is an ideal option. When speed matters (i.e., in outreach), iWriter is an option. However, most wouldn' t recommend this service as their go-to. After all, their reviews  are quite poor.   You can also try  Zerys (#9 on our list)  or  CopyPress (#10 on our list) , both of which have mixed reviews ( 3.4 out of 5 stars  and  2.9 out of 5 stars ,  respectively).  

Regardless of the writing service you choose to connect with freelancers, make sure they align with your company's core goals and objectives. When you find the right fit, you'll know.

The 6 Best Article Writing Services That Increase Organic Traffic

Updated: Sep 13, 2023

Despite what you might read online, content is still king. Writing high-quality articles featuring helpful content is still the foundation of any content strategy. However, this is no easy task. Writing articles that rank on Google takes hours of researching, writing, and editing. For this reason, many companies look to article-writing services to save time.

In this article, we’ll cover the six best article writing services to ensure you are getting the best possible content without the added stress.

The basics of a blog writing service

For those that don’t know, a blog writing service - or article writing service - is a professional service that supports your search engine optimization (SEO) goals while saving you time and effort.

While it looks like sitting at a desk and slamming keys on a keyboard is simple, creating original, helpful content is time-consuming. It takes hours to come up with the perfect idea and proper keywords for an article. Busy business owners just don’t have this kind of time.

Instead of ignoring their content strategy - a death sentence - they turn to blog writing services. Simply put, a blog writing service helps you decide what content you want to write and then does the hard part of writing it for you.

This is tailored to the company’s unique brand guidelines and specifications. Once the company approves, the content is published directly to the blog or website. If you hire a good article-writing service, then you’ll save tons of time while increasing your useful content output.

The result is an increase in organic traffic and organic, high-quality leads. However, this only occurs when using the best article-writing services. Thankfully, this list has them all for you. Before we get to that part, let’s look at a few essential qualities to look for.

Top qualities of an article writing service

When searching for the best article writing services, it’s essential to keep in mind the following traits:

Budget: Does the service fit within your marketing budget?

Expertise: Do the writers exhibit expertise, authority, and trustworthiness?

Efficiency: Are assignments completed on time without sacrificing quality?

Quality: Is the content submitted at the highest standard?

Keyword research: Are the writers including keywords relevant to your niche?

Speed: Are assignments completed by the deadline?

The top 6 best article writing services

1. Scripted

Scripted is a popular freelance writer marketplace. It is definitely on the higher end in terms of price but in return, you can get quality content of all varieties. From blog posts to social media posts and everything in between, Scripted is a good choice for those seeking quality, not affordability.

How it works: Contact Scripted and send them your content brief. You can then select a writer from their team or they will select one for you. Once the assignment is complete, you can revise it before paying.

Walden is more than an average article writing service. It’s a full-service content marketing agency and a local leader in high-quality SEO-optimized content and copywriting. The team boasts several years of professional experience and strictly utilizes native English, Italian and French writers.

Hence, hundreds of businesses have outsourced their content strategy to Walden including well-known names in FinTech, tourism, and fashion.

How it works: Each Walden client gets a full SEO and content audit to start. Then, the team will create a tailor-made content and PR strategy for the next 6 - 12 months. Walden handles everything from writing, strategizing, editing, and posting on your personal blog or company side. Furthermore, Walden provides ongoing analytics support to give data-driven insights to increase conversions.

UpWork is a platform that helps connect professionals with freelancers. This is not limited to article writing but can be graphic design, personal assistants, SEO, social media management, and more.

Can I trust Upwork?

Trust is an ongoing issue on Upwork. There are countless stories of scammers or freelancers overpromising and vastly under delivering. It is a time-consuming process trying to find the best freelancers on Upwork for the right price. However, for the patient ones out there, they could be rewarded.

4. TextBroker

For those looking exclusively for writers based in the US, Textbroker is a good choice. The writers at Textbroker specialize in SEO blog articles featuring the keywords of your choice.

Yes, Textbroker is cheaper than other options but you’ll have to do some legwork on your end to get the best rest from them. What’s interesting at Textbroker is that you can choose what quality you want your content to be. For example, if you want 1-star quality work, you can get it for a cheap price.

However, remember low-quality content comes with zero benefits.

Yes, believe it or not, Twitter - or X - is a good place to find article writing services. There are plenty of talented copywriters and content writers advertising their services on Twitter. Just scroll through their feed to see examples of their work and send them a direct message. This one takes more effort than your traditional blog writing service but give it a try.

6. Writer Access

Last on our list is Writer Access. While Writer Access made this list for a reason, it is last because you have to pay a membership fee just to access the platform’s long list of freelancers and premium tools. However, once you are in, there are plenty of options to choose from

How it works: First, you pick a subscription. Then, you find writers using the advanced search bar. From there, you order a project and manage the workflow all on the Writer Access platform. Revisions are limited, so make those edits count!

Conclusion: What is the best article writing website?

If you are looking to save time, grow your website’s organic traffic, and fill your content calendar with high-quality, helpful content, then using article writing services will certainly help.

That being said, you must be careful who you hire to handle your content. If you decide to go the fast and cheap route, Google may penalize your site for fake or low-quality content. It’s then extremely hard to win over Google’s favor once again.

Hence, it’s best to go with one of the companies featured above. Hopefully, you can find one that fits your budget and matches your brand identity.

Meet our awesome article writing services

Purebred seo pedigree.

We’ve got deep roots in the SEO world. We initially created The Content Panel to write articles for our sister company (an SEO agency), and still rank with our own articles to this day.

A.I Writer Matching

It’s obvious when a writer doesn’t know what they’re writing about. Let our A.I match you with a professional article writer who has real-world experience in your industry.

Original Content

We don’t take chances when it comes to copied content. We guarantee you that every article you order from us will be 100% original, free from plagiarism, and written exclusively for you.

Quality Guarantee

Don’t like the article your writer has written for you? We’ve got it covered. Let us know and we will get a new article writer to create an entirely new article for you, free of charge.

Tested And Trained Writers

We have teams of people recruiting and hiring article writers for our talent pool. We vet, test, and train them to ensure that they consistently write awesome articles delivered on time, every time.

Priced To Sell

We’re a lean, mean, article writing machine, which allows us to offer top quality content, at rock bottom prices. Our articles start from $3.40 / 100 words, with no hidden extra costs.

Buying our articles is as easy as 1,2,3.

Here’s how it works

It’s a match made in heaven

We’ve created what we believe to be the only artificial intelligence in the world that plays matchmaker between article writers and businesses. We’ve named him Panel Brain, and we’re very proud parents…

With your first order from us, Panel Brain will try and match you with someone who has experience in the same industry as the subject matter of the article. He will also try to find writers who have the same tone, style, and flow that you’ve indicated you’re looking for in our super simple order form.

Your first writers will be awesome, but Panel Brain gets smarter over time. He’ll learn from your feedback about previous writers to make better, and more accurate matches in the future. Over time, behind the scenes he custom creates you a team of professional article writers with experience in your industry (and a style of writing that you love).

It’s kind of like having an on-demand in-house article writing department.

(Just without the overheads)

Articles, without the annoying bits

When Panel Brain has done his job and found your perfect match, it’s time for us to get to work.

We’re a managed article writing service, which means you will be assigned a content manager when you join us. You’ll probably never know they exist (unless you have a question). But they’re working hard for you behind the scenes. 

The content will first go through our automated plagiarism checks (we use several) to ensure that every single sentence was written just for you. If any matches are found your content manager will assess them for false positives, and take action where required.

Once we’ve established the content isn’t copied we’ll then start our quality checks. We’ll manually verify some of your orders to ensure your content has been properly proofread, that it has great grammar, and that it matches your brief too. All of this work happens invisibly, behind the scenes, without you having to lift a finger.

Collect your content

When your article has passed all of our checks, we’ll let you know via email. You can then login to your dashboard and review the content. If you’d like a few tweaks or changes (large or small) you can let your writer know with our inline commenting system. You can request an unlimited number of edits, an unlimited number of times, free of charge.

If the writer has completely missed the mark (which rarely happens) you can let us know and we’ll get a new writer to write a new article for you, free of charge. Your content manager will oversee the rewrite behind the scenes to ensure it gets actioned as a priority.

That being said, in the overwhelming majority of cases, our article writers hit the nail on the head the first time around and their content needs no amendments or rewrites whatsoever. When you’re happy with your content, Panel Brain will ask for your feedback, which he will then use to improve his writer suggestions for your future jobs.

Awesome articles that are almost on autopilot, what more could you want?

Pick an article, any article.

Here’s what we do.

There’s no getting around the fact that if you want a huge amount of organic traffic from Google, then you’re going to need a huge amount of content to go with it.

We’ve got over a decade’s worth of experience writing SEO articles. Our content has survived and thrived through every quality update Google has thrown at us over the years, and we fully expect our rankings to stay rock-solid in the future.

Now, we’re not claiming that we’re going to send your site skyrocketing in the SERPs from just your article’s content alone. But we are confident when we say that we write some of the longest-lasting, highest-ranking content out there.

We heavily focus on quality, we pay close attention to EAT principles, and our writers study the search intent behind your keywords to create content that ranks.

At the end of the day all Google wants is to give its users the information they want – so that’s what our writers want to do too.

The days of being able to get to the top of Google with a 500-word article are long behind us. Sites are investing in long-form pillar content with massive word counts for one simple reason – they work.

That being said, Google’s #1 priority is content quality, and if you’re going to be writing an article that’s thousands of words in length, you need to be at least somewhat familiar with the subject.

It’s very easy to tell when an article writer is just Googling the subject and has no real knowledge or insight to add. Their content is thin, it states the obvious, and it’s full of “ifs and buts”. It’s embarrassing to publish, and it’s a chore for your readers to read.

But it doesn’t have to be this way…

By leveraging our talent pool of over 3,000 writers (and our A.I) we’re able to match you with a professional article writer who has experience writing articles in your industry. From plumbers to programmers and everything in-between – we’ve got someone who can write engagingly about your topic.

One man’s blog post is another man’s article.

We’re experts at writing blog articles (or blog posts, whatever you want to call them). Business blogging is our bread and butter, and we manage hundreds of blogs in all kinds of industries.

Our subscription-based blog management services are the Rolls Royce of the content marketing world. For a surprisingly low price, each month we’ll provide you with topic suggestions, images, content, and we’ll even upload posts on your blog for you.

In a nutshell, we handle all of the bureaucracy of blogging, while you focus on the creative, fun parts. Trust us. It’s as good as it sounds.

That being said, if you’re looking for a more flexible way of buying content for your blog (i.e without subscriptions) then you can order blog posts on a case by case basis too. 

We’re all about customization, baby. Learn more about our blog writing services.

We understand the subtle but important differences between writing articles for digital mediums and writing them for newspapers and magazines. We’re tough on fluff, and we will meet the exact word count you provide (give or take a few words) to ensure there are no issues with layout when formatting for print.

Our content managers will make sure our article writers meet their deadlines, so you can meet yours. Our streamlined amendment request process means your editors can highlight sections of the content and leave feedback for your writer in an efficient, and effective manner.

We’ll adhere to all of your publication’s sourcing and citing requirements – regardless of how strict they are, and we’ll ensure we match your writing style and tone seamlessly too.

Our articles have been published in printed national newspapers, and several magazines over the years. Our clients (and their editors) always come back for more.

And the best part? We’re a ghostwriting service. Which means you can take all the credit for our writers’ hard work (we don’t mind)!

Your website’s main pages are arguably some of the most important content you’ll ever publish. They’re your “official” and “formal” content that is a direct line from your visitors to your brand. 

We understand that it takes a huge amount of trust to put that kind of messaging (with that kind of importance) in the hands of someone outside your organization – and we respect that.

We’ll create articles for your website that convey your brand’s vision, beliefs, and goals in a clear, concise, and approachable manner. Give us a few examples of your other messaging, and our professional article writers will match your current tone of voice and writing style seamlessly.

It’ll feel like you’ve hired an in-house copywriter who’s been a part of your team for years – minus the hassle (and the expense).

Once you experience the convenience of having your messaging typed up beautifully by our article writers – you’ll never go back.

Learn more about our website content writing services.

E-books are one of the most effective digital marketing tools the world has ever known. There’s a reason that every website serious about their content marketing strategy offers ebooks to their visitors – it’s because they work.

Packaging up super long, detailed articles into e-book format allows you to take a deep dive into a topic in a way that is almost impossible to do via pages on a website

With over 3,000 writers in our talent pool we’re certain that we’ve got someone with the talent, knowledge, and real-world experience required to write an ebook article about your industry authoritatively and engagingly.

They’ll make connections and references that other writers who don’t know the subject (and are just Googling the answers) wouldn’t be able to make. They’ll delve deep into specifics, while keeping your content clear, concise, and to the point.

We’ll write a real page-turner, without the pages.

Articles that work as hard as you do.

Professional article writing services,,  from professional article writers, meet the gang.

Our writers are the backbone of our article writing services. 

Without them, we’d be nothing.

We have a team of people searching every corner of the internet trying to hire article writers and recruit them into our talent pool.

To join us they need to pass our infamously tough vetting, and training process where we perform over 9 different tests to determine their abilities, style, and experience level. We’re looking to see what areas of expertise they have, what their portfolios look like, and what kind of articles they like to write.

If the writer passes these tests (most don’t), they’re then put on probation, where we monitor and review every single article they write for us. If anything isn’t right, we rectify it before our clients have a chance to see the issue.

After they’ve written several consistently high-quality articles for us and we’ve built up a mutual trust, they’re a fully-fledged member of the team, and can reap all of the benefits that writing for us provides them.

They’re the best of the best. Try us out and see for yourself.

Trust us, we know SEO.

Check out our purebred SEO pedigree

The kings of keywords

Every article writing service in the world is going to talk about their mastery of keywords and SEO, but we’re willing to bet that few of them know SEO like we do – because we used to be an SEO agency.

We created The Content Panel initially to manage the network of freelancers we used for our SEO clients. When we understood the power of what we had created, we pivoted to leaving the SEO world and focusing on this full time.

Google is smarter than ever today, and keywords aren’t the be all and end all of SEO anymore. Keyword stuffing is super obvious to readers, and severely punished by Google.

That’s why we do things differently. We’ll scatter your articles seamlessly with traditional, LSI, and longtail keywords that flow naturally within the content without it feeling forced. We’ll use NLP techniques to aid semantic processing (holy buzzwords Batman!), and we’ll optimize titles, and meta descriptions on request too.

Understanding user intent

User intent is arguably one of the most important factors in on page SEO today.

Google is using engagement metrics more than ever before to determine if an article serves the user with the information they searched for. If you don’t give the user what they want, Google’s not going to give you what you want.

Unless you give us a detailed outline of what the article should look like, our writers will formulate their article based around the user intent of any keywords you have provided. They’ll ensure that anyone who lands on your page is delivered a well-rounded, satisfying answer to their search query.

Your users win, Google wins, and you win too.

Again, it’s not rocket science, but it works.

Fighting for featured snippets

Featured snippets are awesome ways to get huge amounts of additional traffic from Google – the only problem is, it’s not that easy to be featured in them.

There’s a specific way of formatting your article to try and land a featured snippet spot. Large pieces of the puzzle are on page SEO factors (and how you structure your content). However, a significant contributing element is the content of the article itself. 

When you work with us you can tell your writers if there are any featured snippets you’re targeting. We’ll make sure that our writers carefully craft structured answers to the snippet’s questions in a way Google will be able to digest, understand, and hopefully use.

We can’t guarantee that you’ll land a spot in a snippet, but we’ll give you a darn good chance…

Conquer with content clusters

Content clusters are one of the most interesting developments in modern-day SEO. They’ve turned the traditional idea of “sites must be siloed” upside down.

Our dashboard allows you to segment your orders into individual projects – which are perfect for your content clusters. Simply create a new project, send a bulk order, and watch your content cluster be created in real time. 

We’ll ensure the writers are aware of the other articles that you’re ordering to allow them to make consistent references for interlinking within the cluster. 

We’ll also give all your orders to the same writer (or at least a writer with a similar style) for a feeling of continuity. This allows us to ensure that there’s no repetition of topics throughout different pages of the cluster.

Frequently asked questions.

Ask us anything.

Why should I outsource article writing?

Because it’s often the most effective way for your business to meet its content demands.

Having an existing team member write your articles is inefficient, takes away from their other duties, and may result in subpar content if the person hasn’t got a natural affinity for writing. On the other hand, hiring a writer in house is an expensive commitment that requires a large amount of content to be created consistently in order to be financially viable.

How long will it take to write my article?

Turnaround times depend on two factors – how long it takes an article writer to claim your job, and how long the article is in terms of word count. Your first few orders can take up to 24 hours to find a writer as our A.I doesn’t know much about you (and is very cautious).

However, after your first few orders, this usually takes a few hours.

In terms of deadlines, writers are given 24 hours (after they claim the job) for content that’s around 1000 words or less, and around 4 days for anything longer. Deadlines can be viewed in realtime from your dashboard at any time.

Will people be able to tell you wrote my articles?

No, we’re a ghostwriting service which means nobody except you and us will know who wrote your content. You can attribute the articles we write to any of your team members, and you can take all of the credit for our hard work. Don’t worry, we don’t mind!

Should I use a cheap article writing service?

We have 3 quality levels of article writers for hire, and our cheapest writers start at $3.40 / 100 words. This already makes us one of the cheapest article writing services out there.

We’re a lean business with very low overheads, which allows us to offer native speakers at this kind of price point. If you want cheaper article writing services, they do exist, but you’re almost certainly going to get very low quality content written by someone with a marginal grasp of the English language.

Writing takes time, and $3.40 / 100 words already represents quite a low hourly wage for someone living in a western country. Any cheaper than this and your content is probably being written by non native speakers in other parts of the world (and it’s very, very obvious when this is the case). You can have usable content, or you can have super cheap content, but you can’t have both.

How do I tell your article writers what I want?

We’ve created a dynamic order form that will ensure we get all of the essential information we need to write you a great article. A general rule of thumb is the more advice and direction you give your writer in the brief – the better the article will be.

What if i want changes to my article?

The vast majority of the time our articles are accepted on the first draft. However, we have embraced the reality of revisions with open arms, and as such, we include an unlimited number of edit requests with every order as standard.

We have developed an inline commenting tool to facilitate the amendment process. You can leave feedback on the general tone of the article as a whole, or you can highlight sections and add comments to specific parts of your article.

It doesn’t sound revolutionary, and in all honesty, it isn’t. But once you’ve tried actioning amendments to your articles in this way, you’ll never go back.

How can I track the progress of my articles?

Traditionally, hiring freelance article writers is a hassle. Keeping track of briefs, deadlines, revisions, and versions is usually done by utilizing a combination of spreadsheets, email chains, and slack channels – which is less than ideal.

With our article writing services, you can see the status of every job from your dashboard in real-time. We’ll let you know which projects require your attention, which projects are ticking along smoothly, and which projects are ready for publication.

What happens if a writer misses a deadline?

Usually, our writers are extremely reliable. However, once in a blue moon someone will miss a deadline, when that happens, we’ve got you covered.

Panel Brain will automatically send your job back out to the writers as a priority to get someone else to write your article as quickly as possible to minimize disruption.

Your content manager will keep you updated via your dashboard every step of the way.

What is your policy on fluff?

There’s nothing worse than an article that’s filled with fluff. It’s a pain for readers to read, it’s an embarrassment for publishers to publish, and it’s boring for writers to write.

We let our writers know that we have a very low tolerance when it comes to fluff, and we expect every sentence in their articles to have substance and meaning behind it.

We initially expected our war on fluff to be hard to win when we first started The Content Panel, but it wasn’t.

It turns out that if you match writers with jobs that they are actually excited to write about (on topics that they are knowledgeable in), and you combine that with paying them a decent rate – fluff “magically” disappears.

What if I am unhappy with my article?

All of our professional article writers are awesome, they wouldn’t be writing for us if they weren’t. However, we understand that from time to time, there’s just not a good fit.

This very rarely happens, but if you feel you’ve received an article that’s missed the mark, and cannot be amended to your satisfaction, you can request a new writer.

Simply click a big red button on your dashboard, and we’ll ask Panel Brain to match you with another article writer who will write an entirely new version for you (as a priority) free of charge.

This rewrite policy is one of the reasons our articles are consistently high quality. Writers know that anything except their best runs the risk of being rejected by a client, so they put 110% into their work.

It’s just another little difference that we think makes us one of the best article writing services out there.

By tapping into their network of talented writers with expertise across various subjects and industries, these services help busy entrepreneurs and marketers produce well-researched, engaging content without spending countless hours behind a computer screen.

Utilizing such services helps businesses streamline their content creation process and allows them to focus on more critical aspects of running their operations.

With access to knowledgeable professionals adept at penning different types of writing, a reliable article writing service can be an indispensable asset for any business striving to make its mark on the world wide web.

Benefits of Using Article Writing Services

Businesses and individuals must leverage the power of content to engage with their target audience effectively. If you want your content stands out among the rest, it is vital to invest in quality article-writing services. Several benefits come with this decision, which we will discuss below.

Time Savings

One of the main advantages of using an article writing service is that it saves you time. Creating high-quality content requires significant effort and research, which may not always be feasible for those juggling multiple tasks or running a business:

• Content creation and editing can be time-consuming – Experienced writers can produce well-researched and structured content more efficiently than those less familiar with the process.
• Outsourcing lets you focus on other aspects of your business or personal life while professionals generate valuable content.
• With quick turnaround times offered by many services, you can access a consistent flow of articles even during busy periods.

Beat Writer’s Block

Whether you’re a seasoned professional writer or have little experience putting words together creatively, writer’s block can strike at any time. Enlisting the help of professional article writing services offers several solutions:

• A fresh perspective: Writers from various backgrounds bring different insights, enhancing the uniqueness and value of your content.
• Collaboration: Engaging with professional writers can reignite ideas by offering new perspectives and expanding upon existing concepts.
• Consistent output: When creativity temporarily fades away, these services keep your content production uninterrupted until you overcome those obstacles.

Reduce Costs

Investing in an article writing service may initially appear as an added expense, but doing so often results in long-term cost savings:

• Reduced staffing costs: Hiring an in-house copywriter significantly increases payroll expenses compared to contracting services as needed.
• Efficient investment: Pay only for completed work rather than investing resources into training and maintaining a team dedicated solely to writing.
• No overhead costs: External writing services cover all expenses associated with content creation (equipment, software, etc.), meaning your business does not have to shoulder these additional costs.

Leveraging professional article writing services offers numerous advantages, such as time savings, overcoming writer’s block, and reducing overall costs. By outsourcing your content needs to reputable services like the ones listed below, you can focus on other aspects of your business or personal life without compromising the quality and consistency of your articles.

Several key features set ContentGrow apart from competitors within the article writing services:

• Impressive Writer Selection: The key strength of Draft lies in its vast network of experienced and vetted freelance writers. Clients can access talent suitable for content requirements like blog posts, website copy, press releases, and whitepapers – catering to their niche audience needs.
• Collaborative Workflow: Draft provides clients with a user-friendly interface where they can collaborate directly with writers. This makes communication seamless and ensures that the end product meets the client’s expectations.
• Managed Services Option: To streamline your content creation process further, you can opt for a managed services account wherein a dedicated project manager will handle all aspects of your project—from assigning tasks reviewing, and revising work submitted by the writer(s) to ensuring timely delivery.
• Transparent Pricing Structure: With Draft’s pricing model being upfront and defined based on different tiers according to word count, no hidden or surprise fees are involved – offering clients peace of mind when budgeting their projects.

Draft Weaknesses

Among Draft cons it’s worth mentioning:

• Limited Subject Matter Expertise: While Draft boasts a wide range of talented freelancers, for businesses requiring subject matter experts it may be difficult to find writers specializing within specific fields—particularly in cases concerning highly technical subjects like healthcare or advanced technology topics.
• No In-Built AI Writing Capabilities: Unlike other article writing services available today (e.g., SEOwind), Draft doesn’t employ AI-powered algorithms or tools for generating content suggestions or improving readability—relying solely on professional human input and expertise.

Draft Pricing

Draft offers tier-based pricing depending on your project’s complexity, word count, and deadline requirements. You can get discounts for bulk purchases.

Draft is optimal for businesses seeking professional article-writing services that streamline content creation processes while working directly with expert freelance writers. Its transparent pricing structure, an extensive network of skilled professionals, and collaborative platform add tremendous value by ensuring top-quality tailored content suitable for various industries.

However, clients requiring highly specialized subject matter expertise may need help sourcing freelancers who meet their demands within specific sectors. Additionally, those enterprises interested in AI-powered content tools may prefer exploring alternative service providers like SEOwind, which offer such features within their platforms.

How to Find the Right Article Writing Service

Navigating through numerous article-writing services can be an overwhelming task. To ensure you make a well-informed decision, here are some essential steps to take when selecting an article-writing service for your needs.

Research and Compare Services

Begin by conducting thorough research on available article writing services. Search for reputable providers and compile a list of top contenders. Once you have shortlisted these companies, compare their offerings based on cost, delivery times, range of expertise, clientele, and more. Additionally, examine their websites in-depth and analyze the quality of their published content.

Besides searching online resources for information about different services, consider seeking recommendations from your professional network or joining relevant forums where people share experiences with various platforms.

Check Reputation and Reviews

Reputation is a crucial aspect when it comes to hiring any service provider—article writing services are no exception. Investigate a company’s brand image by reviewing customer reviews and testimonials on review sites such as Trustpilot or Google My Business.

These evaluations will provide insights into professionalism, work quality, customer satisfaction levels, etc., enabling you to understand whether they live up to their advertised claims. While expecting only positive feedback across all platforms is unrealistic, consistent negative remarks on specific issues should raise red flags.

Compare Rates and Quality

Your goal shouldn’t solely be finding the cheapest article-writing service. Instead, aim for one that offers exceptional value for money. Striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and high-quality output is vital since poor-quality content may harm your reputation or SEO rankings.

When comparing rates among prospective providers:

• Determine what types of articles they specialize in (e.g., blog posts vs press releases)
• Evaluate the expertise levels of their writers
• Inquire about additional benefits like proofreading and revision policies
• Assess whether they charge per word, per hour, or based on project complexity

Be bold in requesting work samples to gauge the company’s writing style and overall quality. This thorough analysis will guide you toward identifying an article-writing service that aligns well with your budget and expectations.

Types of Article Writing Services

Understanding the types of article writing services available in the industry is crucial to selecting the right service for your needs. Each type serves different aims and caters to distinct audiences. Leveraging these tailored options can make a significant difference in the success of your blog and website content and strategy.

Blog Writing Services

Blog writing services focus primarily on crafting engaging, informational, or conversational blog posts for businesses and individuals. These high-quality articles typically revolve around a specific topic or niche within an industry, striving for valuable insights that appeal to readers. With a combination of storytelling and expert knowledge, blogging services aim at establishing thought leadership and maintaining reader interest over time.

Website Content Writing Services

Website content writing refers to creating static web pages such as homepages, about us pages, product/service descriptions, landing pages, and FAQ sections, among other essential components of a website and content marketing strategy. These services ensure that all site content aligns with brand identity while persuasively directing visitors towards particular actions (like making purchases or signing up for newsletters).

Press Release Writing Services

As marketing tools targeting journalists and news outlets, press releases aim at announcing significant events or accomplishments related to a company. Professional press release writing services provide well-structured news pieces that embody newsworthiness and adhere to formatting guidelines favored by various media channels. This service caters explicitly to organizations looking to have their news picked up quickly and efficiently by media agencies.

Guest Post Writing Services

Guest post writing concentrates on generating value-driven articles designed for submission to external publications or websites relevant to a client’s industry.

Micro Content Writing Services

Micro content refers to short-form text such as social media posts or product descriptions. Given the limited word count for micro-content, its purpose is to convey essential information or key messages concisely while igniting customer interest. As such, these writing services aim at formulating catchy sentences that grab attention and effectively communicate critical points within minimal word usage. This type of service is ideal for clients looking to enforce a solid social media presence or optimize their eCommerce site with compelling product descriptions.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Article Writing Service

When searching for a reliable article-writing service, it’s essential to consider several factors to ensure the company meets your specific needs. 

Price is always an essential factor when selecting article writing services. Remember that prices vary widely between companies due to multiple aspects such as writer qualifications or content complexity.

• Compare rates from different providers: Researching offers by various companies gives you more flexibility and options.
• Don’t compromise on quality: While choosing a cheap article-writing service provider might be tempting, remember that high-quality content should be your primary goal. Therefore, invest in finding affordable services without sacrificing the content’s caliber.
• Keep track of additional charges: Some services might charge extra revisions or quick delivery fees. Be sure to understand every cost associated with the service while assessing.

Quality of Work

The effectiveness of your written content significantly depends on its quality. Besides delivering error-free articles, key quality indicators include coherence, relevancy, structure consistency, and search engine optimization.

• Request samples from potential providers: To gauge competency levels, assess their previous works regarding grammar proficiency and style adaptation capacities.
• Ensure expertise in your industry: A professional article writer specialized in creating content relevant to your niche can offer compelling and engaging results.
• Evaluate how well they follow guidelines: Reliable writers follow clients’ instructions keenly while maintaining creativity and authenticity within each piece.

Turnaround Time

Time is another major consideration when outsourcing projects since meeting deadlines demonstrates efficacy and professionalism.

• Choose a service with fast delivery times: Speedy turnarounds reflect efficiency; however, it should not compromise writing integrity.
• Assess their workload management systems: Inquire about their methods to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. This guarantees that writers will allocate adequate time and effort to your project.
• Examine whether they offer rush services: Understand their flexibility in accommodating last-minute requests or urgent tasks.

Customer Service

Exceptional customer care contributes tremendously towards a smooth and hassle-free collaboration between clients and an article writing company.

• Seek a service available 24/7 through multiple channels: A good provider will ensure you can access communication means such as email, chat support, or phone calls anytime.
• Gauge the responsiveness of the customer support team: Routinely test how quickly they reply to inquiries and address them satisfactorily.
• Research reputation: Online reviews can help determine other customers’ experiences with a particular provider. It amplifies trustworthiness and credibility aspects.

Identifying suitable article writing services involves evaluating costs, quality parameters, turnaround capabilities, and reliable customer assistance. By holistically assessing these attributes, you can find an exceptional article writing service suited to your requirements while delivering optimal outcomes for your content marketing needs.

Tips for Working with an Article Writing Service

Succeeding with any article above writing services involves open communication, cooperation, and clarity. Here are some tips to help you optimize your experience when working with an article-writing service:

Provide Clear Instructions

No matter how experienced or skilled a writer is, they still need clear instructions from you to produce content that matches your vision and requirements properly. When providing assignments to article writers, make sure to:

• Be specific about the topic and your target audience.
• Provide guidelines on keyword usage, tone, style, and format.
• Include any relevant sources or links that must be incorporated within the article.
• Clearly state the desired word count and any other specifics.

Having all this information will save time and ensure both parties are on the same page right from the start.

Set Expectations Early On

Setting clear expectations is essential so your chosen article-writing service knows precisely what you need. Try doing the following things before work commences:

• Discuss turnaround times as well as deadlines for drafts and revisions.
• Establish a system for feedback, edits, or approvals.
• Ensure there won’t be surprises; discuss extra fees if additional requirements emerge later.
• Lay down points of contact to simplify communication lines during project execution.

This proactive approach significantly reduces potential misunderstandings or disappointments once work begins.

Be Open to Feedback and Suggestions

While you know your brand best, professional article writers bring invaluable expertise to creating engaging content for readers across various industries. Hence:

• Trust their creative judgment regarding wording choices or enhance reader engagement through captivating headlines or subheadings.
• Be receptive towards suggested changes in the structure or presentation of ideas when necessary; skilled writers excel at adapting complex concepts into digestible formats for diverse audiences.
• Remember that collaborative revision helps refine the final product while building a solid relationship with your service provider.

Ultimately, trusting that these article writing services have your best interests at heart and are committed to delivering high-caliber content will prove fruitful for your projects.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Working with an Article Writing Service

When outsourcing content creation, working with the right article-writing service is crucial to meet your goals. However, it’s easy to fall into common pitfalls that can hamper your project’s success. To help you navigate the process efficiently and achieve better outcomes, here are three mistakes you should avoid.

Not Doing Enough Research Before Hiring a Writer

Before choosing an article writing service, take the time to do extensive research on potential candidates. A hasty decision may lead only to disappointing results or wasted resources. Assess services by considering the following:

• Reputation and reviews
• Portfolio samples
• Specializations within your niche or industry
• Communication style and availability for revisions

By investing extra effort in researching available options, you’ll make an informed decision about which company is best suited for your needs and will deliver high-quality content tailored to fit your brand’s voice and objectives.

Not Being Clear About Your Requirements

For any professional article writer to interpret a client’s vision appropriately, developing top-tier content begins with understanding clear expectations. Some vital details to clarify include the following:

• Topic focus or angle
• Goals (e.g., driving traffic, boosting engagement)
• Target audience
• Tone, format, and style preferences
• Keywords or key phrases you want to be incorporated (for SEO purposes)
• Word count 
• Due date(s)

Failure to provide clear instructions upfront could result in receiving unsuitable content requiring tedious revisions—even if the writer is competent. Therefore, strive for clarity from the outset; consider providing reference links whenever possible.

Not Setting Deadlines or Expectations in Advance

Setting realistic deadlines during project discussions ensures timely content delivery without compromising quality. For long-term collaborations or large-scale projects involving multiple articles, establish individual due dates and overall timelines for completion.

Never assume writers will meet unspoken expectations regarding turnaround times – always communicate openly about deadlines at the start. Be sure to inform them if a specific piece is also under an urgent deadline, so they can prioritize and allocate resources accordingly.

Moreover, establish expectations and limitations when it comes to revisions. Determine how many revision rounds will be included per single article or whether extra fees may apply. Finalizing these details in advance sets clear boundaries that enable efficient and satisfactory collaboration between both parties throughout the project life cycle.

How to Get the Most Out of Article Writing Services?

Maximizing the benefits of using article writing services involves a few key steps and practices. Following these guidelines ensures that your chosen service works effectively, providing high-quality content that suits your needs.

Choose a Reputable Service

• The desired word count
• Format and structure
• Keywords/SEO considerations
• Tone and style guidelines

Providing clear instructions helps writers create high-quality articles tailored to your expectations.

Set Realistic Deadlines

Agree upon a reasonable timeline with writers to ensure they have adequate time to research, write and review their work before submitting it. Remember that rush jobs might result in subpar content quality; therefore, establishing realistic expectations related to turnaround times benefits both parties.

Request Regular Progress Updates

A continuous two-way communication loop between yourself and the writer ensures timely feedback exchange regarding drafts or concerns. Staying actively engaged throughout the process improves overall satisfaction by allowing real-time adjustments if needed.

Cultivate Long-term Partnerships

Building strong relationships with preferred writers or platforms lets them familiarize themselves with your brand voice, messaging, and style more intimately. Over time, this familiarity improves your understanding of your communication needs and results in better-quality content.

Stay Open-minded for Suggestions

Experienced writers often bring unique perspectives or ideas to the table – entertain these suggestions and be prepared to allow flexibility in creativity. By fostering a collaborative environment with your content creators, you open up new avenues for fresh insights, content ideas, and innovative approaches to your articles.

Getting the most out of article writing services involves:

• Finding the right providers who align with your needs.

What are your goals? Are you looking to increase your website traffic, generate more leads, or improve sales for a product?  

How much are you willing to spend? This will help you outline how much you will pay the freelancer and when.

2. Create a clear work description

You need to write a detailed gig description to get more out of sites like Upwork as a client.

Why? Your work description helps freelancers understand what you need and submit gigs that are a good fit.

Make sure to include all the necessary information, such as;

• Your content requirements and the project scope
• Deadlines for the project
• Budget and more

Also, be specific about your desired experience level. Do you need a writer with 3+ years of experience? Mention all those details. This will save you a lot of time as you don’t have to review proposals from freelancers who’re not qualified for the job.

3. Set up your project

Make sure to filter freelancers carefully.

Read their profiles, reviews, and portfolios no matter what content marketing platform you choose. Ask questions to make sure they are a good fit for your project.

Once you find someone, communicate clearly and talk about the budget. Try to provide feedback to get the best output.

Once the project is done, review the work, make payments, and leave feedback.

Above all, be patient. Finding the RIGHT freelancer for your writing projects takes time. Don’t be afraid to leave a freelancer if he’s unsuitable for your needs.

Constant Content is a marketplace where you can either buy pre-written content or submit a content request based on your requirement. Their team of writers will then receive your project as an assignment or pitch their services to you.

However, the quality of content will vary based on the quality of the article writer and the price you pay.

Post your request about the kind of content you need. Qualified writers will then reach out to you, or you could directly contact a suitable writer in their marketplace. You can then work out the turnaround time with the writer and get your article in the pre-decided period.

• You get access to stock images that go with your content.
• They also provide product review writers.
• You can select a writer from a large pool of content writers.
• The UX isn’t that great, especially at the backend.
• It can be difficult to vet a writer that matches your needs.
• There’s no consistency in the content quality and will vary with the writer you select.

The pricing varies depending on the writer’s charges.

Poor Nations Are Writing a New Handbook for Getting Rich

Economies focused on exports have lifted millions out of poverty, but epochal changes in trade, supply chains and technology are making it a lot harder.

• Share full article

By Patricia Cohen

Reporting from London

For more than half a century, the handbook for how developing countries can grow rich hasn’t changed much: Move subsistence farmers into manufacturing jobs, and then sell what they produce to the rest of the world.

The recipe — customized in varying ways by Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and China — has produced the most potent engine the world has ever known for generating economic growth. It has helped lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, create jobs and raise standards of living.

The Asian Tigers and China succeeded by combining vast pools of cheap labor with access to international know-how and financing, and buyers that reached from Kalamazoo to Kuala Lumpur. Governments provided the scaffolding: They built up roads and schools, offered business-friendly rules and incentives, developed capable administrative institutions and nurtured incipient industries.

But technology is advancing, supply chains are shifting, and political tensions are reshaping trade patterns. And with that, doubts are growing about whether industrialization can still deliver the miracle growth it once did. For developing countries, which contain 85 percent of the globe’s population — 6.8 billion people — the implications are profound.

Today, manufacturing accounts for a smaller share of the world’s output, and China already does more than a third of it . At the same time, more emerging countries are selling inexpensive goods abroad, increasing competition. There are not as many gains to be squeezed out: Not everyone can be a net exporter or offer the world’s lowest wages and overhead.

There are doubts that industrialization can create the game-changing benefits it did in the past. Factories today tend to rely more on automated technology and less on cheapworkers who have little training.

“You cannot generate enough jobs for the vast majority of workers who are not very educated,” said Dani Rodrik, a leading development economist at Harvard.

The process can be seen in Bangladesh, which the World Bank’s managing director called “one of the world’s greatest development stories” last year. The country built its success on turning farmers into textile workers.

Last year, though, Rubana Huq, chair of Mohammadi Group, a family-owned conglomerate, replaced 3,000 employees with automated jacquard machines to do complex weaving patterns.

The women found similar jobs elsewhere in the company. “But what follows when this happens on a large scale?” asked Ms. Huq, who is also president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association.

These workers don’t have training, she said. “They’re not going to turn into coders overnight.”

Recent global developments have accelerated the transition.

Supply chain meltdowns related to the Covid-19 pandemic and to sanctions prompted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine drove up the price of essentials like food and fuel, biting into incomes. High interest rates, imposed by central banks to quell inflation, set off another series of crises: Developing nations’ debts ballooned , and investment capital dried up.

Last week, the International Monetary Fund warned of the noxious combination of lower growth and higher debt.

The supercharged globalization that had encouraged companies to buy and sell in every spot around the planet has also been shifting. Rising political tensions, especially between China and the United States, are affecting where businesses and governments invest and trade.

Companies want supply chains to be secure as well as cheap, and they are looking at neighbors or political allies to provide them.

In this new era, Mr. Rodrik said, “the industrialization model — which practically every country that has become rich has relied on — is no longer capable of generating rapid and sustained economic growth.”

Nor is it clear what might replace it.

There’s a future in service jobs.

One alternative might be found in Bengaluru, a high-tech center in the Indian state of Karnataka.

Multinationals like Goldman Sachs, Victoria’s Secret and the Economist magazine have flocked to the city and set up hundreds of operational hubs — known as global capability centers — to handle accounting, design products, develop cybersecurity systems and artificial intelligence, and more.

Such centers are expected to generate 500,000 jobs nationwide in the next two to three years, according to the consulting firm Deloitte .

They are joining hundreds of biotech, engineering and information technology companies including homegrown giants like Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro and Infosys Limited. Four months ago, the American chip company AMD unveiled its largest global design center there.

“We have to move away from the idea of classic development stages, that you go from the farm to the factory and then from the factory to offices,” said Richard Baldwin , an economist at the IMD in Lausanne. “That whole development model is wrong.”

Two-thirds of the world’s output now comes from the service sector — a mishmash that includes dog walkers, manicurists, food preparers, cleaners and drivers, as well as highly trained chip designers, graphic artists, nurses, engineers and accountants.

It is possible to leapfrog to the service sector and grow by selling to businesses around the world, Mr. Baldwin argued. That is what helped India become the world’s fifth-largest economy .

In Bengaluru, formerly known as Bangalore, a general rise in middle-class living attracted more people and more businesses that, in turn, attracted more people and businesses, continuing the cycle, Mr. Baldwin explained.

Covid sped this transition, by forcing people to work remotely — from a different part of town, a different city or a different country.

In the new model, countries can focus growth around cities rather than a particular industry. “That creates economic activities which are fairly diverse,” Mr. Baldwin said.

“Think Bangalore, not South China,” he said.

Free markets are not enough.

Many developing nations remain focused on building export-oriented industries as the path to prosperity. And that’s how it should be, said Justin Yifu Lin , dean of the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University.

Pessimism about the classic development formula, he said, has been fueled by a misguided belief that the growth process was automatic: Just clear the way for the free market and the rest will take care of itself.

Countries were often pressured by the United States and the international institutions to embrace open markets and hands-off governance.

Export-led growth in Africa and Latin America stumbled because governments failed to protect and subsidize infant industries, said Mr. Lin, a former chief economist at the World Bank.

“Industrial policy was taboo for a long time,” he said, and many of those who tried failed. But there were also success stories like China and South Korea.

“You need the state to help the private sector overcome market failures,” he said. “You cannot do it without industrial policy.”

It won’t work without education.

The overriding question is whether anything — services or manufacturing — can generate the type of growth that is desperately needed: broad based, large scale and sustainable.

Service jobs for businesses are multiplying, but many offering middle and high incomes are in areas like finance and tech, which tend to require advanced skills and education levels far above what most people in developing nations have.

In India, nearly half of college graduates don’t have the skills they need for these jobs, according to Wheebox , an educational testing service.

The mismatch is everywhere. The Future of Jobs report , published last year by the World Economic Forum, found that six in 10 workers will need retraining in the next three years, but the overwhelming majority won’t have access to it.

Other kinds of service jobs are proliferating, too, but many are neither well paid nor exportable. A barber in Bengaluru can’t cut your hair if you’re in Brooklyn.

That could mean smaller — and more uneven — growth.

Researchers at Yale University found that in India and several countries in sub-Saharan Africa, agricultural workers jumped into consumer service jobs and raised their productivity and incomes.

But there was a catch: The gains were “strikingly unequal” and disproportionately benefited the rich .

With a weakening global economy , developing countries will need to wring every bit of growth they can from every corner of their economies. Industrial policy is essential, Mr. Rodrik of Harvard said, but it should focus on smaller service firms and households because that is going to be the source of most future growth.

He and others caution that even so, gains are likely to be modest and hard won.

“The envelope has shrunk,” he said. “How much growth we can get is definitely less than in the past.”

Idaho teen arrested and accused of planning to kill churchgoers in the name of ISIS

An Idaho teenager was arrested and accused of planning to kill churchgoers during services across his hometown in the name of the Islamic State group , authorities have said.

Alexander Scott Mercurio, 18, from Coeur d’Alene, was arrested early Saturday as part of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force investigation, a day before prosecutors say he planned to carry out his attack.

He is accused of "attempting to provide material support and resources to ISIS," according to a federal criminal complaint filed in Idaho on Monday.

The FBI said he was actively planning to attack churches Sunday in Coeur d'Alene, a town 30 miles east of Spokane, Washington, using "weapons, including knives, firearms, and fire," a statement said. The attack was timed to coincide with the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, investigators said.

According to a direct message sent to an FBI "confidential human source," quoted in a lengthy affidavit attached to the criminal complaint, Mercurio set out his plan in detail.

"Stop close by the church, equip the weapon(s) and storm the temple, kill as many people as possible before they inevitably disperse/scatter, then burn the temple to the ground and flee the scene," Mercurio allegedly wrote. He said he would then repeat this for all 21 churches in the town, according to prosecutors.

Mercurio will face up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted. A court date has not been set. NBC News could not immediately identify an attorney for Mercurio.

As part of their investigation, prosecutors said, FBI sources met with Mercurio in person and heard him express support for ISIS and outline his plan to incapacitate his father with a metal pipe and restrain him, then take his firearms and attack a local church.

"His plan grew more precise as he eventually identified the church and date on which he planned to attack," the affidavit said, adding that he had pledged his allegiance to ISIS and said he was prepared to die while killing others on its behalf.

Law enforcement officers found an ISIS flag, butane canisters, lighters, handcuffs, a knife, a pipe and a machete at his house during his arrest, as well as several firearms belonging to his father, which he allegedly planned to take.

Mercurio also spread ISIS propaganda online and discussed ways to support the group financially as well as traveling to west Africa to help its operations there, the affidavit said.

The FBI said it became aware of Mercurio during an investigation into a fundraising network that uses cryptocurrency and other platforms to support ISIS in Syria and its Afghan affiliate ISIS Wilayat Khorasan, known as ISIS-K.

That investigation found that Mercurio and at least three other suspects who were not identified in the documents were financially supporting someone only referred to as "Individual 2" in Gaza, the Palestinian enclave that has faced widespread destruction from six months of the Israel-Hamas war .

According to the FBI's testimony, Mercurio was in an encrypted group chat group with fellow ISIS supporters. Investigators also found on his school-issued laptop documents relating to ISIS ideology but also far-right terrorists such as mass murderer Anders Breivik .

Mercurio told a second "confidential human source" sent by the FBI that his parents were not fond of his "deen," meaning "the path" and a reference to his Islamic faith and customs, prosecutors said.

In a direct message conversation with this source, Mercurio allegedly said: "I am a hypocrite who has not even spat in the face of a kafir [non-believer] or donated a single penny in the cause of Allah, let alone spilled their blood and induced terror into their hearts and minds."

"Thanks to the investigative efforts of the FBI, the defendant was taken into custody before he could act, and he is now charged with attempting to support ISIS’s mission of terror and violence," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said Mercurio had formed a "truly horrific plan."

"This case should be an eye-opener to the dangers of self-radicalization, which is a real threat to our communities," Special Agent in Charge Shohini Sinha of the Salt Lake City FBI said in the statement.

In December another 18-year-old, Humzah Mashkoor from near Denver, was charged with providing support to ISIS after allegedly planning to travel to the Middle East to become a fighter for the terrorist group.

A joint intelligence bulletin issued last Friday by the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the National Counterterrorism Center warned of possible threats to public gatherings in the U.S. from lone wolf extremists inspired by last month’s ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K) attack on Moscow’s Crocus City Concert Hall and by later official ISIS statements calling for similar attacks in the U.S.

The unclassified bulletin, circulated to law enforcement, said intelligence agencies have identified “several possible signposts … indicating potential violence.” 

The indicators included explicit discussion in online spaces of tactics associated with ISIS’s attack; a proliferation of violent extremist content associated with ISIS’s attack, particularly in English; and interest in attack guidance in online forums.

Wray of the FBI told Congress in March that the terrorism threat in the U.S. since the Israel Hamas war began on Oct. 7 has reached “a whole other level.”

Mark Gatiss Writing & Starring In UKTV Drama About Crime-Solving Bookshop Owner

By Jesse Whittock , Max Goldbart

EXCLUSIVE: Sherlock star Mark Gatiss is writing and starring in a British TV drama about a bookshop owner who helps police solve crimes.

Bookish will be a six-part series for UKTV crime drama network Alibi set in post-war London in 1946. Gatiss, the co-creator of BBC shows such as Sherlock and The League of Gentlemen and Netflix/BBC’s Dracula and actor in films including Operation Mincemeat and Mission Impossible — Dead Reckoning , is the creator.

Starring alongside Gatiss is Polly Walker  ( Bridgerton , Line of Duty ), who plays Book’s colourful wife Trottie. She is charismatic and adventurous, owns a wallpaper shop next door and loves Book deeply but not physically. They shares a ‘lavender’ marriage, which helps conceals Book’s sexual orientation at a time when it was illegal to be gay.

Guest stars include  Joely Richardson  ( The Gentleman , The Ballad of Renegade Nell ) ,  Daniel Mays  ( The Long Shadow, Code 404 ) and Jonas Nay ( Deutschland 83 , Concordia ). Other core cast members include Connor Finch ( Everything I Know About Love ) as Jack, Olivier award-winner Elliot Levey ( We Were the Lucky Ones , Quiz ) as Inspector Bliss and Buket Kömür ( Our House ) as Nora.

Each case will span two 70-minute episodes and will, according to producers marry “post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life-affirming atmosphere of the times.”

Hotel Portofino producer Eagle Eye Drama is attached to make the show, which has a 2025 airdate on Alibi. Germany’s Beta Film has international distribution rights. The series is produced in association with Belgium-based Happy Duck Films, which is part of the Eagle Eye stable, and is supported by the Belgian Tax Shelter. 

UKTV Head of Drama Helen Perry produced commissioned the show, which was ordered by Alibi Channel Director Emma Ayech. The BBC Studios-owned broadcaster is behind crime shows such as the Nicola Walker-starring Annika , Molly Windsor and Martin Compston vehicle Traces and the Barcelona-set drama The Diplomat .

“UKTV is the home for writers’ passion projects, and we are so proud to be working with the exceptionally talented Mark Gatiss on his, along with the effervescent team at Eagle Eye,” said Perry. “Mark’s unique detective thriller is full of wit and heart, with a central platonic love story that is sure to enthral audiences. And because Book is a gay man, at a time when it was illegal to be so, we are proud that the drama shines a light on an important LGBTQ+ story. The star-studded cast Eagle Eye have already put together is tribute to the sure-fire hit  Bookish is to become.”

“To misquote  Goodfellas : ‘All my life I’ve wanted to be a detective!’,” said Gatiss. “I couldn’t be more excited to be bringing this series to the screen, and to plunge viewers into our intoxicating version of post-War London. It’s an under-examined time and an under-examined world and  Bookish  is the strange, funny and thrilling show that I’ve always wanted to make.”

McGrath, Chief Creative Officer for Eagle Eye Drama, added: “There are some characters, some ideas that just leap off the page and demand to be realised. Book, Trottie and the clever crimes Mark Gatiss has woven around the precinct of Archangel Lane is one of those projects. The answer to every crime can be found in a book and in  Bookish , Mark Gatiss has created a unique, memorable and stand out new detective series.”

Beta’s Chief Distribution Officer, Oliver Bachert, said the show was “sure to become a great example of a sophisticated crime drama and instant classic for audiences around the world.”

Gatiss is repped by Curtis Brown for acting and by PBJ Management for writing. Walker is repped by The Artists Partnership.

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — When Alexei Navalny turns 47 on Sunday, he’ll wake up in a bare concrete cell with hardly any natural light.

He won’t be able to see or talk to any of his loved ones. Phone calls and visits are banned for those in “punishment isolation” cells, a 2-by-3-meter (6 1/2-by-10-foot) space. Guards usually blast patriotic songs and speeches by President Vladimir Putin at him.

“Guess who is the champion of listening to Putin’s speeches? Who listens to them for hours and falls asleep to them?” Navalny said recently in a typically sardonic social media post via his attorneys from Penal Colony No. 6 in the Vladimir region east of Moscow.

He is serving a nine-year term due to end in 2030 on charges widely seen as trumped up, and is facing another trial on new charges that could keep him locked up for another two decades. Rallies have been called for Sunday in Russia to support him.

Navalny has become Russia’s most famous political prisoner — and not just because of his prominence as Putin’s fiercest political foe, his poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin, and his being the subject of an Oscar-winning documentary.

He has chronicled his arbitrary placement in isolation, where he has spent almost six months. He’s on a meager prison diet, restricted on how much time he can spend writing letters and forced at times to live with a cellmate with poor personal hygiene, making life even more miserable.

Most of the attention goes to Navalny and other high-profile figures like Vladimir Kara-Murza , who was sentenced last month to 25 years on treason charges. But there’s a growing number of less-famous prisoners who are serving time in similarly harsh conditions.

Memorial, Russia’s oldest and most prominent human rights organization and a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, counted 558 political prisoners in the country as of April — more than three times the figure than in 2018, when it listed 183.

The Soviet Union’s far-flung gulag system of prison camps provided inmate labor to develop industries such as mining and logging. While conditions vary among modern-day penal colonies , Russian law still permits prisoners to work on jobs like sewing uniforms for soldiers.

In a 2021 report, the U.S. State Department said conditions in Russian prisons and detention centers “were often harsh and life threatening. Overcrowding, abuse by guards and inmates, limited access to health care, food shortages and inadequate sanitation were common in prisons, penal colonies, and other detention facilities.”

Andrei Pivovarov , an opposition figure sentenced last year to four years in prison, has been in isolation at Penal Colony No. 7 in northern Russia’s Karelia region since January and is likely to stay there the rest of this year, said his partner, Tatyana Usmanova. The institution is notorious for its harsh conditions and reports of torture.

The 41-year-old former head of the pro-democracy group Open Russia spends his days alone in a small cell in a “strict detention” unit, and is not allowed any calls or visits from anyone but his lawyers, Usmanova told The Associated Press. He can get one book from the prison library, can write letters for several hours a day and is permitted 90 minutes outdoors, she said.

Other inmates are prohibited from making eye contact with Pivovarov in the corridors, contributing to his “maximum isolation,” she said.

“It wasn’t enough to sentence him to a real prison term. They are also trying to ruin his life there,” Usmanova added.

Pivovarov was pulled off a Warsaw-bound flight just before takeoff from St. Petersburg in May 2021 and taken to the southern city of Krasnodar. Authorities accused him of engaging with an “undesirable” organization -– a crime since 2015.

Several days before his arrest, Open Russia had disbanded after getting the “undesirable” label.

After his trial in Krasnodar, the St. Petersburg native was convicted and sentenced in July, when Russia’s war in Ukraine and Putin’s sweeping crackdown on dissent were in full swing.

He told AP in a letter from Krasnodar in December that authorities moved him there “to hide me farther away” from his hometown and Moscow. That interview was one of the last Pivovarov was able to give, describing prison life there as “boring and depressing,” with his only diversion being an hour-long walk in a small yard. “Lucky” inmates with cash in their accounts can shop at a prison store once a week for 10 minutes but otherwise must stay in their cells, he wrote.

Letters from supporters lift his spirits, he said. Many people wrote that they used to be uninterested in Russian politics, according to Pivovarov, and “only now are starting to see clearly.”

Now, any letters take weeks to arrive, Usmanova said.

Conditions are easier for some less-famous political prisoners like Alexei Gorinov , a former member of a Moscow municipal council. He was was convicted of “spreading false information” about the army in July over antiwar remarks he made at a council session.

Criticism of the invasion was criminalized a few months earlier, and Gorinov, 61, became the first Russian sent to prison for it, receiving seven years.

He is housed in barracks with about 50 others in his unit at Penal Colony No. 2 in the Vladimir region, Gorinov said in written answers passed to AP in March.

The long sentence for a low-profile activist shocked many, and Gorinov said “authorities needed an example they could showcase to others (of) an ordinary person, rather than a public figure.”

Inmates in his unit can watch TV, and play chess, backgammon or table tennis. There’s a small kitchen to brew tea or coffee between meals, and they can have food from personal supplies.

But Gorinov said prison officials still carry out “enhanced control” of the unit, and he and two other inmates get special checks every two hours, since they’ve been labeled “prone to escape.”

There is little medical help, he said.

“Right now, I’m not feeling all that well, as I can’t recover from bronchitis,” he said, adding that he needed treatment for pneumonia last winter at another prison’s hospital ward, because at Penal Colony No. 2, the most they can do is “break a fever.”

Also suffering health problems is artist and musician Sasha Skochilenko, who is detained amid her ongoing trial following her April 2022 arrest in St. Petersburg, also on charges of spreading false information about the army. Her crime was replacing supermarket price tags with antiwar slogans in protest.

Skochilenko has a congenital heart defect and celiac disease, requiring a gluten-free diet. She gets food parcels weekly, but there is a weight limit, and the 32-year-old can’t eat “half the things they give her there,” said her partner, Sophia Subbotina.

There’s a stark difference between detention facilities for women and men, and Skochilenko has it easier in some ways than male prisoners, Subbotina said.

“Oddly enough, the staff are mostly nice. Mostly they are women, they are quite friendly, they will give helpful tips and they have a very good attitude toward Sasha,” Subbotina told AP by phone.

“Often they support Sasha, they tell her: ‘You will definitely get out of here soon, this is so unfair here.’ They know about our relationship and they are fine with it. They’re very humane,” she said.

There’s no political propaganda in the jail and dance music blares from a radio. Cooking shows play on TV. Skochilenko “wouldn’t watch them in normal life, but in jail, it’s a distraction,” Subbotina said.

She recently arranged for an outside cardiologist to examine Skochilneko and since March has been allowed to visit her twice a month.

Subbotina gets emotional when she recalled their first visit.

“It is a complex and weird feeling when you’ve been living with a person. Sasha and I have been together for over six years — waking up with them, falling asleep with them — then not being able to see them for a year,” she said. “I was nervous when I went to visit her. I didn’t know what I would say to Sasha, but in the end, it went really well.”

Still, Subbotina said a year behind bars has been hard on Skochilenko. The trial is moving slowly, unlike usually swift proceedings for high-profile political activists, with guilty verdicts almost a certainty.

Skochilenko faces up to 10 years if convicted.
