    Question Do you pay content writers for content to use on your site?

    As the saying goes, content is king! And so having good content for affiliate sites is important. Most webmasters create some content themselves. But it is very common to supplement that content with content provided by others. Maybe articles make available in consideration of keeping embedded links in place, maybe content provided by others in a forum you run, maybe press releases or news from affiliate programs, maybe articles you pay others to write to to translate.

    Besides answering the poll question, share you experiences creating and obtaining content for your websites.

    If it's casino/poker content I'm after I write it all myself.
    For sports betting or an area that I'm not so experience in I hire writers but have had trouble finding good ones, for now I only have 1 sports betting site and use a writer from peopleperhour.com which is working out extremely well.
    I also try and write content for other sites (guest blogging) but it's extremely time consuming negotiating links.

    80% of the content on my website is written by me while the other 20% I pay my writers to produce.

    I do all my own content - I don't know if I could hire anyone to do it as it wouldn't be up to my standards

    I would say 80%+ of my content is written by writers these days - the only stuff I write myself at the moment is structural stuff and some blog posts with promotions.

    95% of content on my sites is written by me and 5% by others who are friends with me, so I don t pay for this.

    All of my content is written by me though it is on my to-do list to try and find some content writers. My worry is that the quality control will take just as long as writing it myself.

    Most of the content in my native language is written by myself. For other languages I have translators and content writers.

    I don't have the patience to sit and write a few hundred word article or review. I'd much rather pay someone else to do it
