Hi Stella,

Very true we all look at writing and outsourcing differently… and that’s ok :).

I love interacting with my readers, I love different opinions it opens up discussions that other readers can learn from as well.

Thank you for coming back to my site, hope to see you back again soon,

Vicky

Thank you, Vicky!
Yes, the copying issue online really is a nuisance!!

About the writing, yes, I’ve seen and been part of a lot of discussions about that whole aspect of online work. There certainly are many different points of view. I appreciate you taking the time to share yours.

I wrote my original comment in a hurry and looking at all the typos, anyone would probably wonder if I know anything about writing!! haha

Thank you again for responding so quickly. It’s a very positive point about your work and online presence. You are a real person who is obviously active and interacts with readers. I really like that!

All the best!

Hi Stella,

Thank you for your comment.
There are many reasons to why I’m not sharing the site, main one being that the site could be copied. Believe me I’ve seen it happen too many times…
But I’ve also said in previous post that if you contact me, I will be happy to share it 🙂

As far as outsourcing goes, most of my writers has been with me for years. They are happy to have an ongoing job where they know they get paid and they know what to expect. There are many reasons to why people write, I’m not getting into that.
I post a writing job, people apply to the job, nobody is forced to write, if my job is not what people are looking for, they will move on and apply to the next one…

I feel good about helping people make their own money! I feel good about hiring people and paying them for their job!

I don’t look at them as not having confidence to ask for more, they are very smart people great writers with many different reasons for taking my jobs…

Hi Vicky! Thanks for all of the information that you share. Would love to take a look at this website, but could not see a link. People sometimes get a little dubious when you talk, but don’t show the actual website.
Also, about outsourcing the writing. I know a lot of people do that, and I understand the reasoning. It fees you up for other business building activities. I’m not sure I can bring myself to do it though. I’ve worked as a writer online and offline. My online experience is that we are treated like sweatshop workers. The pay online is generally much, much lower than online. In fact, other than a couple of upscale sites like Constant Content, it is insulting to pay 5-6 dollars for the work that goes into some of these articles.
As i said, I understand it, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to bring myself to do it at any point. I always feel like I would be ripping people off who just don’t have the confidence to ask for what they are worth.
Just a few thoughts. Thanks again for your sharing and info!

Hi John,

How are you and your family doing? We are doing ok, I’m heading back home to Sweden tomorrow for a few days…
Thank you! If you have a clear outline for your writer I’m sure the reviews will be good.

Thank you for stopping in and leaving a comment John,
