This is how the world works. Upwork will dominate and even raise prices more until someone creates competition. Business 101 don’t complain do something about it.

Doing great thank you! Hope you are too.

Pros of outsourcing your content is mainly to free up time to be able to do other things with your website. Or to be able to submit more content than you can produce yourself. For me, English is my second language so outsourcing the content has been priority for me from the beginning… This site though I write most the content…

Cons is that it can take some time to really find the writer you are looking for. I’ve been through my fair share of writers for sure, but then you find somebody that is invaluable and they stick with you for a long time, it makes it all worth it!

Hope that helps,
Vicky

Yes, you are right about Fiverr. A lot of the outsourcing companies are doing extra fees…
I don’t see anything wrong with using a platform to get clients. You still work on your own terms, deciding what, when and where…
That is freedom to me, has nothing to do with the fee you are paying.

This was very interesting to read. I’ve almost had my site open for a month, and so far I’m the only one who puts content on it. I’ve thought about outsourcing to others in the future, but I’m just not there right now. Also never heard of Upwork before, so this was very helpful as far as becoming more aware of such businesses out there. Since you use Upwork to hire writers, what would you say would be the pros and cons of hiring other writers? Thanks!
