Where do you all go to find your writers?

[RGLTD]

I have been producing content at a reasonable rate for online casino portals for a while now. Most of these clients have just 'found me', which is fantastic and all, but I want to find more. I have emailed some portals directly, but nobody ever responds.

Is there a special place you all congregate? I have tried UpWork, PPH and Freelancer, but finding the casino gigs is like a needle in a haystack (I enjoy writing for you lads and ladies, nobody ever causes trouble and you all pay on time)

So, anywhere you lot are picking up your writers? Other than the 'other marketing offers' section on this site. I see people complaining all over Affiliate Guard Dog that they can't find a quality writer. There I am, 100% British, 100% willing to offer them competitive rates. NOTHING! Nobody ever answers the contact form on their website.

Yeah so contact forms and out of the blue emailing isn't probably going to get you that far. We get hundreds of emails a week pitching content, web design, links, programs etc... no way we would respond to all of them. Plus for every 100 we get maybe one would be from someone with something useful to offer.

We use PPH and Upwork from time to time, but for igaming most of the people we work with have been found through forums (here, AGD, PAL and various others) or introductions.

Thanks!

Yeah. I tried AGD earlier. Already have three people looking to buy, so it is a good start!

I don't place any "I am looking for a content writer"-ads because that results in dozens of spam emails of content spinners. Usually, I check at forums if people are offering content services.

I consider it difficult to find good content writers that know a bit about SEO, are writing interesting articles & reviews and that do not make too much errors.

[RGLTD]

That is why I have been looking more into casino writing. I have been doing it for a LONG time now (as I mentioned in the first post, I think). In the past couple of weeks, as I have ventured deeper and deeper into the world of affiliate marketing, I keep seeing casino portals constantly complain that it is tough to find quality writers. That is why I am trying to make a big push into this industry. Beats writing about weight loss products 24/7.

Yes, exactly. I'd never post a content wanted thread unless I was looking for something really specific (ie: a writer from a particular area). Normally we'd only reply to posts by writers looking for work, but only if the post reads well - you can tell a lot about a writer from how they carry themselves on a forum.

[Triple7]

Yes, true. Also, I check the how many time they promote themselves. Content writers that bug all the time at Skype they have some slots left... I don't know. A good writers has his or her slots full I guess

Completely agree with the sentiments regarding contact forms. Since most of the pitches you get through those come from Indian spammers, the default response when you receive a message offering content writing, logo design, web design or worse still SEO, is to delete it. That means unfortunately genuine offers like your own get missed.

This thread is probably going to get you far more work than a day of pitching via contact forms, so I would say your time is better spent sticking to the forums.

So on that note, do you write sports content as well or do you prefer to stick to casino stuff?

UpWork

Most of the stuff I do is casino stuff now. I do dabble in sport news for a couple of websites from time to time, so no issues with that. Don't really go much beyond football, though.

And you are right. This forum has resulted in me getting 5-6 PMs, and 4 on AGD too.

Glad it's worked out for you!

Maybe it might already be too late, but i will comment anyway. Ever heard of Wattpad? A work-colleague uses it. It seems to be quite good. Plus the service providers are of all ages, experiences, and backgrounds, thus you could tailor it to your own needs. Plus they are required to put in work for exposure or critique. Whereas other websites are very community-based, i think this one is more content-based.

has anyone tried iwriter.com before?

[Geomet]

I have! Only for a little while, but I really liked it.

i did. wasn't the quality i needed. you need to test a lot before you find someone decent

I found a lot of clients via Upwork. From what I can tell the issue with that is two fold; only very few good clients and only few very good writers. I have gotten lucky a few times with excellent customers. Another way is to message affiliates/casinos directly, but that requires the necessary experience(ie. need to know who and what you are looking for). Perhaps the biggest source for me has been friends/acquaintances. Connections, as always and everywhere, rule absolute!

Not finding good writers is mainly a self-inflicted wound; most affiliates pay between 1 - 5 cents per word which is just about enough to buy a pile of horseshit. The price is going up because Google is full of that tripe now(google free spins to see for yourself); however I haven't seen affiliates increase their "average price" considerably. This is why again I would suggest contacting casinos directly. Casinos tend to buy their content from content companies; they pay between 10-20 cents for this, but in effect the content companies pay the writer 1-2 cents per word, probably even less if they can. If you can give them a better deal they tend to take it...problem is finding someone who will listen.

There's not too many writers on this field who know what they are actually writing about.
