Description of service

We recently needed some articles written for our company. We needed thirty different articles written, about one thousand words per article. This is the price we paid for each article. The articles pertained to construction and industrial supplies. We were able to find writers through two different internet sites. We posted the article descriptions and then the writers would accept the assignment. We were able to reject assignments that we did not feel were written well. We received all thirty articles within two weeks.


Review of Service

I had no idea there were so many freelance writers on the internet. Actually, I think we could have offered less money and received articles of similar quality. However, the quality of the work we accepted was excellent. This is a yearly publication we have, and we will definitely find freelance writers online next year. We only rejected four articles; most were too short or obviously rushed. We did do some editing on all of the articles.


Tips

Remember, even if the article's quality is not total perfection, you can always do a bit of editing. Also, try to find a site where the writers put bids on the work. Another option is to find a site where you have the ability to reject work that is poor quality.
