Where do you buy your articles from?

Some of the sites known to me are:
(Services)
Elance, oDesk, Guru and Freelancer

I would appreciate if anyone has more to contribute to this list.

Thanks

Truth is there are lots of companies offering article writing and even submission service which makes it hard to spot a lemon from their huge numbers. If you are trying to find a service that offers great quality articles at very affordable price, first check out their reputation then atest their service. I always do this when searching for companies online.

There as many writers as there are grains of sand on the beach... and nearly as many sites offering... Determine type of articles/subjects then go where they exist, see who are the writers/authors of note, then contact them. But there's little need to build a directory/list of these guys... Bing and Google do a pretty fair job of that already. :)

You can post an ad on classifieds websites like Craigslist

I love searching for freelancers on "webmaster forums"... just post a thead explaining what needs to be done.. get dozens of PMs and try some of those that seem credible...

this way I even managed to make friends with couple cool guys :)

We get them from YellowBrix and FeedSyndicate.

Just a quick question...

If you use the services that everybody else is using, won't you end up with the content that everyone else is using?

Maybe there is a way to tap into the expertise of people who have experience with a subject without having to shell out large amounts of money?

As a publisher, YOUR value comes from your ability to find such experts and get them to contribute. If you are able to obtain it with very little work, well, wouldn't your competitors just do the same thing?

You'll find some amazing writers on Fiverr. I have used dozens of them. The going rate is $5 for 500 words.

Ok, I apologize for being cynical, but...

When you say amazing, what exactly do you mean?

For me, an amazing writer is one whose writing is compelling and interesting that people who see the headline will feel that they MUST read the story.

For me, an amazing writer is one whose writing will naturally attract inbound links and mentions, and garner tweets and shares and plus ones, etc.

Yes.

Thanks SilverSpirit. I am testing it out with three requests. Delivery in 5 days, and will see what three of them will come up with.

Of course, you'll need to do quite a lot of testing...
