I need to vent... Article writing on BHW

And poor me thought I can create backlinko clone for $500. $1 for 1000 words.
 
I'd ask for a refund and I would also send that content to a Marketplace Mod with a link to their sales thread to see if that level of content quality was presented to the Mod for a review to get approved.

None of my road bikes ever had 3 wheels either.

Will do. Maybe we are too old, and times have changed. Three wheels are the new thing!
 
Here is a few samples from articles that have been delivered. You get the picture.

"A professional cyclist is going to be hired to ride a bike in one position in a controlled laboratory. The speeds of the three wheels are then going to be measured so as to come up with what has the best aero drag."

"When doing a race of truth to measure your individual cycling speed without the advantage of getting help from teammates or some riders creating a slipstream when ahead, you could use the rear disc wheels. For flat surfaces, you will find that with little effort you hit higher speeds. Woe unto you if the terrain is hilly or there is a cross wind, the time trial rear disc wheel is going to be slower."

I didn't know a road bike had three wheels? That's new to me coming from a professional cycling background.

- Lets talk about gear ratio's instead

"Every mountain bike will have gears, but the hears will not change themselves. Once you are sure you have the right gears on your bike, it is easy to make the most out of your ratios so as to get the best form cycling, especially when climbing. "

I am sure there is a lot of potential with this on a comedy website, because it is absolutely hilarious. Which makes it absolute trash for a real professional article.
 
Do you guys pay $1 per 100 crappy words? I should increase my rates then. I feel like I'm charging too less for spending more than 3 hours for 1000 words to get closer to native quality.
 
Is it just me or are the "native" article writers so crap in here? I am yet to find a writer that can actually write a simple English article without a crap load of grammar mistakes and sentences that don't make any sense.

I feel like putting all the articles on display to actually show how poorly they are written.
the writer is definitely “native” the question is native of which country because it doesnt look like hes from an english speaking one :)

Yeah. I think I'm mad for not checking out rates before posting an ad. I was wondering why I got too many responses for single ad. Going to contact article providers to get a contract or so for a better rate. Let's hope for the best.

Please do that, it'll be an epic review. I trust in people like you being a non native English speaker.
 
I purchased for 5 different sellers..
Purchased for, or from a seller? Interesting. Probably this is why you were never satisfied?
 
  • Haha
Reactions: B22
You can't expect so much for a little pay. Most writing services I have seen here have ridiculously low prices. Anyway, why not ask for a refund for such low quality work?
 
Is there anyone who can write professional sales pages and corporate landing page copy?
 
I have paid several paid orders and review copies only one I didn’t particularly like, but that was cause I paid peanuts and expected a miracle. your best option do like BTB said refund and report the quality
 
In this case, all you can do is provide a topic to writers around 5-10 then pick the best one. If among those aren't suitable for you then keep searching for the best one! Also remember, to get desired outcome you need to keep train up your writers! Or else garbage wont stop.
 
Most native writing content writing services are just a marketing technique that many newbies tend to believe.
 
Yeah totally agree, but it shouldn't need to be that expensive. I have worked as a copywriter for a large European ecommerce store, it doesn't take that long to write a decent well researched 1000 word article.

Umm.... if you have worked or are a copywriter your self why farm the work out?

No matter what you are paying it will never meet your own standards.

It's the same as going.

The link building services on the marketplace are shit, and I should know as I do link building for a living.

Why even bother looking there first...




Personally grammar & spelling as a writer you get what you pay for. I don't know what people expect paying $2-5 per line or whatever the going rate is on here. Can argue that point as much you like but when it comes to writing, price DOES matter.

What do you mean by Native? I know Americans who cant spell for shit and Indians that can compose perfect ballads in English.
 
In My Life, I only purchased articles Once (I now have an inhouse writer whose content I check myself before publishing anywhere) and that was too because I needed them on urgent Basis. I specifically asked him to deliver content in 24 hrs and readable. They were scraped articles and it took him 7 days to deliver the content. I gg'ed myself and Never repeat the mistake of buying from BHW.

Mate I was almost going to pitch myself until I read this.

I'm not just a native English speaker, I'm competent with the language, I've studied the craft, and I can write any kind of fluent English you need, sales copy included.

Then you pointed out that you don't think that's important. You don't care about the time it takes to learn that skill, or the quality of service provided, "because it shouldn't take that long to write".

It shouldn't take that long to fix your busted hot water cylinder when it's leaking all over your new carpet at one in the morning, but I bet you don't tell the plumber that.

What you've said here is a red flag that tells me "do not work with this guy".

In my experience, clients who show that they don't value their writers with "shouldn't be that expensive" and "because it doesn't take that long" language are horrible to work with. They flake out on the job 9 times out of 10, and if they actually do follow through on a deal, they're asking for the moon while nickel-and-diming the price at every chance.

No thanks. I'll go work for the guys that throw around four and five-figure jobs without any of the hassles.

Want to know why you're getting garbage writers? Because you're attracting garbage writers.
