You can really save a lot of time if you outsource article writing to a professional. However, you still need to emphasize on quality first. How much should you pay per article and are low-cost articles always bad?
There is no single answer to this question. For research intensive articles, you should expect to pay more per article. But here, we are going to take an example for casual articles.
One way to calculate the cost per article is to weigh the cost of custom articles against the time it would take you to write them yourself. For 500-word article, the price may be $10 to $25 with turnaround time of about 1 to 3 days.

Keywords are the building blocks of a website. You can have the best looking web site on the Internet but without keywords, your web content won’t be found online in one of the most powerful sources of qualified traffic. It’s the next to non-existence.
Having keyword-rich articles do not benefit only the search engines but also human visitors. If used correctly, readers can actually relate the content in the page with what their situation. For instance, if they are searching about rose gardening, and if the article happens to contain that words, they certainly know they are in the right place to find information about growing a rose in their gardens.

Article Rewriter - Do You Need One?
By Timothy Croy
Article rewriters are popping up all over the internet. Why? Because people are starting to realize the power of article marketing. Article marketing not only gives thousands of quality backlinks to our websites, they can bring in a nice surge of traffic. Best of all, the traffic is free, and will continue for many years to come.
As good as article marketing is, it’s not perfect. Google is catching on, and zapping any backlink that has “duplicate” content. If you spent hours submitting articles to your favorite directories, then you know this “slap” by google hurts.

What makes a copy profitable? This is one question to which you, as a web copywriter, must know the answer. Your goal as a web copywriter is to bring in profit to your website (if you’re writing your own articles) or to your client’s (if you’re hired by someone else to write for him). Whatever the case may be, it’s primarily all about the money. Of course, high quality content is also one of the main concerns, but when it all boils down to it, web copywriting is a business, and a business must earn to sustain itself.

FORWARD
Kal Bishop’s 188 stage Hero’s Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template. Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.
[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].

Imagine this scenario: You’ve just finished your first book. You are thrilled beyond measure. Fantasies of best seller lists, limo rides in New York, and appearing on Oprah dance through your head…
It’s a beautiful dream.
However, that dream can turn into a nightmare of wasted money and disappointment if you don’t know how to market your masterpiece.
In fact, according to industry insiders, some new authors sell between 40 and 100 copies of their books. Yes, you read that correctly.
However, many new authors sell thousands of copies of their books. Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen of Chicken Soup fame sell millions of copies of books each year.

“Do not fear mistakes. There are none.”
—Miles Davis
Mistakes are like the boogie-man. They are a myth. They exist only because we believe they exist.
When people talk to me about their nervousness when speaking or performing, one of their biggest fears is that they will make a mistake. They are afraid of doing something wrong, messing up, forgetting what to say and making a fool of themselves. Can you relate to this? Is this a fear of yours? If so, let me put you at ease.
