Have you ever had a bad experience with a content writer?

I'd say that all but one of the cheap writers I've hired have been bad for me.

But I've found a guy/service (at another, non-domaining forums I frequent) that is 'cheap' (a little less than $0.01 per word) but still pretty good. Research and all is included in that. Obviously you get what you pay for so there's a few grammar issues that I touch up myself, but it's all unique so I'm happy.

Funnily enough before now I've hired content writers for $0.03 per word (so medium-priced ones) and they've been pretty bad too.

I think you'll always get bad content writers, so once you find a good one, stick with them

Also remember that the truly good ones aren't cheap. They'd be the ones who would charge $x,xxx (at least) for a sales letter, for example.

But you can also find pretty good ones who are cheap. You just need to keep looking.
