3 Good Reasons to try iWriter

Hey everyone,

I hope you've had a great start to your week!

I've recorded a video for you today where I show you a peek inside my iWriter account, and I also talk about 3 reasons why you may wish to try iWriter's new article writing service.

To watch the video, click here

In short, those reasons are:

1. To make money by writing articles for other people. You can log in at any time and start writing articles for other people and make some extra pocket money. You won't get rich as an article writer at iWriter, but it can be helpful for making some extra money to cover some bills and so forth.

2. It's a great place to go to get inexpensive articles written that are returned to you extremely quickly. It has a lot of advantages over elance and you'll see why when you watch my short video where you'll see inside my iWriter account and see me posting an article to get written.

3. All articles come back in spin-ready format, which is great for link building as you can generate several unique versions of your articles or submit the spin-ready code when submitting your articles to blog networks for link building (e.g. www.amautomation.com etc).

If you're looking for a link directly to the iWriter website, click here to check out iWriter.

I think iWriter is ideal for getting articles written that you wish to use for link building purposes.

If you're looking for 'white copy quality' articles for your own website and/or newsletters, then you'd be better off posting a project to elance, getting writing samples and choosing a writer based on that (it'll probably cost $15 to $25 per article for a top writer). However, like I just said (and I also mention in my video where you see a sample of the writing quality), if you're looking for 'reasonably good articles' that can be written for you fast, and at a cheap rate, then iWriter is ideal. 

Try it out, even if you just get a $3 article written to test it (though I'd recommend you spend $5 and get a higher quality article written to test it out). I'm keen to hear your comments below.

Have a great day,

Mark Ling

Hi Mark,

How does iWriter compare with Vworker (RentACoder) and Odesk?

Thanks for your time,

Great tip Mark, as always your tips are very much appreciated... :) Quick question, do you know if Iwriter also do rewrites... If you have an original article that you just want rewritten? Many thanx!
markling at 0:01 21 Sep 2011
Hey, yes you can just paste your original article in when giving further instructions for your writing job.

Hi Mark, I want to thank you for sharing this with us. I have been looking for a freelance job for years now. Sure, I found many but they all required bidding and I hate bidding for jobs because the competition is too much. I also didn't like the ones I found because they were also clustered with jobs that require other skills and the only skill I have is writing and SEO. I just wanted a site with a simple interface like Iwriter and I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity if you hadn't shared it with us.

Now to the best part...
"I Earned $2.43 Within 1 hour!". I signed up as soon as I saw your email and read this post. I took a job that required me to write a 500 word article which only took me 30 minutes to write. I logged in 30 minutes later and saw that my article had been approved and I had earned $2.43.

I'll devote more of my time to this 'cos it can quickly add up. Only two of this per day will amount to around $150 in a month. Thanks again for sharing this.

Just tried iWriter out myself and it was a great experience. I had three articles written for the medical field and all were done quickly and with my keywords.
Here is tip: Fill in the Article Purpose and Special Instructions boxes with as much info and other keywords you want included as possible. My writer used them to as guidlines to write the article and so I got really personalized articles with lots of my keywords throughout.

iWriter is beneficial both for the people who are looking for money but can write and the
people who has the money but do not want to write. I have not known this but only here in Affilorama. Thanks for the info, Mark.

I haven't try their service but I will soon. With my busy sched I need someone to do the writing for me, but just like every web owner I am concerned about the content though I admit that I am not a good writer.

Thanks Mark! Appreciate the video. Looks like this could be a good service, as you've said, for getting inexpensive articles written for back linking purposes. I'll give them a try.

Sorry Mark, I' am going to have to disagree with you on this one. I trid this service and got 2 articles written. They were so bad I had to trash them. They were from 2 different writers. Never again!

markling at 2:30 21 Sep 2011
Hey Wendy, did you use the quality writers? ie $5 per 500 word article, or did you go with the less expensive $3 per 500 word articles?

I guess with only having 2 articles written it's hard to draw a conclusion, though so far from my use of this service, the articles have been quite a reasonable quality (I may have had different writers than you did) and I used them for link building purposes (ie not a super high quality for use on my own websites, but not exactly bad either and useful enough for article and blog network link building)
markling at 2:36 21 Sep 2011
It also helps if you fill in the article purpose and any special instructions you may have, as that can help the writer if you give them tips (and can also make some writers stay away from the article). Also, you have the right to refuse the article that gets submitted to you, so if you receive something you don't like, you just hit the 'reject' button, and someone else will write the article for you.
Brad Callen at 14:24 22 Sep 2011
Hi Wendy, it all depends on how you use iWriter. With 2 sides to iWriter, there will be some bad writers that sign up and "try" and write articles for requesters. That's why we have the "reject/approve" system in place. If you get a bad article, reject it, pay nothing... and then it's placed right back into the queue for someone better to write. It's not possible to pay for an article you don't like. Also, like Mark mentioned, if you don't want to mess with the potential of a bad writer picking up your request, simply submit to "top writers only" and only writers with 20+ reviews and a minimum of a 4 star rating will ever see your project. This guarantees you get a good writer writing for you. Lastly, once you find a good writer, KEEP them and submit projects to only them. Hope that helps.

I had bad experience first time with iwriter. I had 5 articles written for me, all were so bad and useless. The writers spun all articles, and for haven sake, they didn't proof read them - I took it as an insult. All were so bad that I cannot make correction or rewrite them. It's beyond low quality. I made a mistake by used automatic approval as suggested in the tutorial video. They may have good writers, if anyone wants to use it, DO NOT USE AUTO APPROVAL option. You don't have to pay if you don't approve it. As Mark suggested, use high quality writers. The thing is Iwriter got a quick turnaround assignment - one day. I used other services before; it took about more than one week to get the result.
markling at 22:17 21 Sep 2011
Yeah, I never use autoapproval now, but the main thing is to only use the quality writers, which means it is $5 per 500 word article instead of $3. Otherwise it is very much moreso hit and miss.
markling at 22:22 21 Sep 2011
You can also specify which writer you want to write for you. You'll receive the article back a little slower, but if you don't mind waiting a couple of days it could be worth it. You may wish to try the 'top writers' listed on their main page of their website.
Brad Callen at 14:31 22 Sep 2011
Hi, we completely removed auto-approval about a week ago. The iWriter today is MUCH MUCH different than the iWriter 2 weeks ago. We've done so many positive enhancements that I strongly urge you to give it another shot. Some of the things that have changed are: 1. Done away with auto-approval. Now it's impossible to pay for an article you don't like. If you don't like it, reject it and a better writer will write it. You pay zero until you're happy. 2. Any writer with repeated negative reviews is automatically banned from the website. This really cuts down on the few bad writers that sign up. 3. We added the ability to submit to "only top writers". When you do this, only writers with 20+ reviews and no lower than a 4 star rating will even see your request. Anyway, like I said, the iWriter today is completely different than the iWriter 2 weeks ago... or even 1 week ago for that matter. We're adding feature requests constantly and I strongly urge you to give it another shot. I'm confident your opinion will change. Thanks

I've used them - I generally found them fast and pretty good. As with most outsourcing work though - the more you can nail your requirements to the wall - the less variable the results. There are some out-and-out stinkers too though. Definitely agree that the "auto approve" option should be off - had one scoundrel try to submit absolute garbage (twice!) - they have a handy "ignore this author in future" feature which was a pleasure to use in his/her case!
Brad Callen at 14:32 22 Sep 2011
Thanks Stephen. There actually isn't even an auto-approve option anymore. We removed it. And, also, glad you noticed the "ignore this author" feature. We're adding more to that today. You'll see it on your profile page.

Hi Mark I took your tip and gave iwriter a try, I must say the results are mixed. The first 4 articles were good thelast 2 not what I was expecting in fact below par.
Leon at 3:11 25 Sep 2011

I tried out iWriter before I even found this post. As Mark said the trick is to pay the extra 50 cents or whatever and click on 'only the best writers'. I initially had 4 articles done by 4 different writers just to be able to spin for article submission. 3 were good and one was really bad. I disapproved the one and without even questioning they immediately had someone else write a good article.

The main thing I do like is now I have one writer I ask for cause he is really good. He just wrote me 2 high quality 800 word articles that I am putting on my sites.

I think their service is really fast.

And yes you can have some bad apples in the basket, but I had some relatively good articles written. And the good thing is that you can choose if you want the article or not before the time delay is up.

So for me it's a good service. It spares me a lot of time and take off a lot of pressure beside having to go to my regular job.

Will try it out. Article prices have been getting expensive.
Eric Moore at 15:57 17 Oct 2011

I tried 5 articles and checked only the best writers. I ended up rejecting 2 of the 5 for poor grammar, spelling and sentences that didn't make sense.

I also sent the same 5 keywords to The Content Authority and found the article quality to be better for the same price. You can also order article rewrites at the same time so you get 3 versions of each article which you can then put together and then run through the best spinner to get lots of very unique versions.

The Iwriter articles came back fast so if you're in a hurry, maybe iwriter gets an edge, but if you can wait 24-48 hours, I think The Content Authority is better quality and multiple rewrites gives it an edge too, IMHO.

Hey Mark,

I've tried iWriter on both sides. I received 2 great articles, rejected 1.

I have seen a few requests for articles where the person says they want an article rewritten and will deliver the article in .doc format.

I've also seen someone request spintax by the writer.

If there was a way to Flag these types of requests so the requester would know there is something wrong in their request.

-- Your article request has been flagged for:

And a comment could be posted as to the problem with the request.

In addition to banning writers who get a lot of rejections, I believe you should check on people who reject articles consistently and ban these people as well. Some people are taking advantage of the writers by rejecting high quality articles over and over again.

It takes my husband about 30 minutes to write a 500 word article. His grammar and his spelling are excellent and the article he wrote was super. I noticed quite a few people in a row had been rejected with the same complaint about writing a high quality article and getting rejected.

I would add in your system a way to have the rejected article examined by a third party so that if it is indeed a quality article, the person who banned it would get a warning not to reject high quality articles or to go somewhere else.

I wouldn't want to spend 30 minutes writing a high quality article only to find my time is wasted on someone who is taking advantage of the "easy" way to reject any article.

Other than that, I thiink iWriter is a great place to get high quality content as well as a nice way to kick back and earn a little money on the side.

:)

Rating sistem of each 'writer' should be improved, so I could chose to request writing only from writers with 8 stars and above. I wouldn't mind to pay more for such a quick service but 90% of articles are useless. Or this is just my bad luck I haven't got any proper english speaking writer there and I dont really feel I need article in Hindi at the moment.
If someones husband has excelent english grammar and his general writing skills is so super, then iWriter is not the place to show them.
Sick and tired of rejecting useless, spun and robot generated not human readable 'articles'.

I have tried iwriter and I find it pretty good. You can have your articles written within a couple of hours and they have recently introduced a system that allows to choose if you want basic, very good or premium quality, and this allows to have quality articles written at a very reasonable price.

Am a regular contributer to iWriter and my message to all the writers who have problems remember this--- Doubt has a twin sister who he has never met and she is Hope. Instead of complaning just write to the support team and Brad himself does make time to respond to all your questions and tickets. Believe in something and it never lets you down.. After having logged on to a few websites, i contribute to iWriter...ONLY!!, they do have a few requesters who r cheap and reject good work for frivolous reasons... but it is a very good and easy platform for budding writers. All the best to the the iWriter team....cudos for the excellent and untiring work...

"Peanuts and monkeys"

Any iWriters get the email that was sent out recently? That's what this site really thinks of your work and talents. Cheap.

By continuing to work for places like this you are only devaluing your work - even if it is 'only being used for backlinks'

Oh and three more words. Content Farms, Panda

Good luck

Hey Mark
I had a few articles done for me and they're good.

However, noticed the spun-versions only have about a 30%+ rate.... isn't that too low?

I found that was for about 5 articles I grabbed.

Hey mark....i grabbed about 5 articles from iwrite but found the spin-versions at about 30% according to AMA.

Is that ok?
kinetik86 at 9:44 16 Dec 2011
REPLY
Also the spin versions of the articles use the wrong delimiters which means you have to edit the whole thing so AMA will accept it.
eg. a sentence came in this format {a|b|c} which is WRONG whereas it should come back RIGHT as {a~b~c}....and that's just one example.... Just thought i'd share that if you didnt pick that up,...

Hey Mark, just thought I'd add another cool thing you can do with iWriter - if you write articles (and get paid) you can then use the money you earn to buy articles from other writers on iWriter.

This means you could write articles about a subject you're knowledgeable on, and then effectively "swap" them for articles on a different topic.
