Want to Outsource Your Blog Writing?

On average, it can take an experienced writer at least 6 hours to write a high-quality blog post of 2,000 words or more, according to research from Orbit Media.

But what about someone who is less experienced in the art and science of crafting an effective blog post? Or someone who may be a skilled writer but who is also responsible for a multitude of other marketing tasks, such as campaign planning and management, content promotion, analytics, PR and more?

The fact of the matter is that writing takes time. And good writing—writing that’s clear and compelling, is effectively optimized, connects to a purpose, and is written for a human and not just a search engine—takes even longer.

These are just some of the reasons why many bloggers look to outsource their blog writing.

However, as there are so many options for outsourcing blog writing, it can be overwhelming to know where to start, how to evaluate the different options, and how to choose the best option for your needs and budget.

To help make the process easier, I've outlined four common blog writing outsourcing options and evaluated them by type, pros/cons, and the average cost for their services.

All you have to do is sit back, visit the thread, read the posts, ask
questions (if any), contribute to the topic.

And you do
all of this without even leaving Nairaland!
How easier can it be?

Common Blog Writing Outsourcing Options

“Independent” Freelance Writers

An independent freelance writer is a self-employed contractor, rather than a full-time employee, who offers their writing services directly to their clients.

For comparison purposes, in this section we’re referring to freelance writers who have built a strong personal brand and writing reputation.

As such, they are less likely to be found on content platform sites or through “content farms.”

Most independent freelance writers can deliver a variety of content types and may work across different industries or verticals.

However, some writers may niche themselves in specific types of content (e.g. emails or white papers) or work only within a specific industry (e.g. medical or automotive).

Most independent freelance writers today will have their own website where prospective clients can find samples of their writing (on their personal blog, for example), their bio, reviews, rates and instructions on how to start working with them.
