iWriter.com Review-Do You Like Stale Crackers?

Are you thinking about outsourcing some of your articles to iWriter.com?  Before you do, you may want to learn what you can expect for your money. As someone who has purchased content from places like Fiverr and from freelance authors on InfoBarrel, I see a sad theme with all of the articles I get back. YAWN......please pass the caffeine so I can keep reading this stuff. Why? People are either afraid or don't have enough confidence to use words that are creative and unique. What looks like an exciting and entertaining personality type in a forum becomes a droll, boring yawn of an article topic writer.  I don't really care if the spelling is off here and there (which is a good thing) . I am looking to be entertained, moved, inspired, uplifted or even shocked by what I read.

How Iwriter Compares To Fiverr In My Opinion

I was excited about iWriter as a potential source for good content. I need affordable content because I have so many projects online that I feel overwhelmed at times. The article topics that I write about are not that hard to do. I don't ask for Rocket Science information and deeply serious stuff. At this point, I think Fiverr might be the better option for me. At least you can try to build a relationship with a halfway decent writer that is flexible enough to learn what you want. They both cost about the same amount of money.

What You Can Expect On iWriter For Your Money

Um.....unless you write a huge 10 page PDF instruction booklet, the chances are not good that you will be happy with what you get back. All of the writers that have taken my assignments have trouble using descriptive words and all of them have problems with English sentence structure. They go back and forth from singular to plural in the same sentence which drives me crazy.  Looking through the list on the homepage does give you a chance to reserve people that have happier clents, but you might have a lengthy wait.

The Sad Facts Of Hiring A Freelance Writer For Any Rate

Right now, I am just sad that I have to tell a writer what kind of words are considered entertaining, exciting and passionate. Here is the biggest difference between me and the typical stuff I get for my money:

Keyphrase-CHEAP DANCE LEOTARDS FOR WOMEN

What I am hoping for : Cheap dance leotards for women have amazing style for the money. Show off on the dance floor without blowing your budget

What I get : The cheap dance leotards for women can be founded  today with sleeve or no sleeve.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!  Not AGAIN! Where is that suicide hotline number??

Gosh, I sure hope you are getting a good laugh at this! It is funny to me now, but eventually, every five dollars I spend on this stuff will really add up. People say that you get what you pay for when you are looking to outsource content. I agree that paying more attracts experienced writers that can do a better job with grammar and sentence structure. However, even the most experienced freelance writer may have problems with content that requires personality and pizazz. The fact is, the Internet is full of the dull, the bad and the boring. Let me excuse myself now and get started on that 10 page PDF instruction booklet entitled How Not To Write Content Like A Stale Cracker.

I have used iwriter and I have got good and bad articles. But I agree that English does not seem to be the strong point of the writers there.

I couldn't use one word of the last article I paid for. It was simply horrendous. Instead of making a fuss and returning it, I just accepted it and moved on. No more iWriter for me!

I have never thought of buying one, until now and then you talked me out of it. :D

I have never really thought about selling one either.
