Do you write articles on your own?

Absolutely on my own - never use spinners too. However, I do occasionally send it to freelancers when it gets too much

I do the articles by my own, but sometimes when I need many of them I go to freelancer website to search for reputable writers, by the way I have 10 of them now and they are on my skype, so it brings much faster service rather then use freelancer website afterward.

I don't write articles - I have a way to get like 50-100 articles in 10-15 minutes without writing a single thing.
Articles are like 85%-90% unique and redeable for both search engines and humans (though it wont be the best quality of course)
And no, it is not translating technique and neither char spinning

I create articles of my own and then I spin them to free article directories. This helps me.
Spinner have it's own limitation's. After spinning 4 to 5 times, articles lost its orginality.

Well , After reading a lot of replies above there ,
The Best Conclusion I see :-
You write for yourself specially for your Money Site
You use spun content for link building
And Finally , Outsource when you are good enough and want to Scale Up

I'm still new to the entire blogging thing, even though I been doing it for years now, but I only recently really jumped into it.

But to your topic asking about writing your own articles, I use to worry about how the topic was wrote, so my idea was just finding a good article then copy it, spin it ect..

But after really wasting time messing with posting something thats been copied 10x over, I figured it didn't really matter what I wrote and just went with what I could type. I look up some small facts if I need to, and just fill in the rest with "bs". Instead of spending the time finding articles & spinning, I can write up about 5 articles in the time it would take to find one good one. And lets face it if your using a program to find articles for you to save time your still just using something thats been wrote before, and who knows how many times its been copied, how much gain can you get from a article thats been put out 20x over on the net?

So my tip is write what you can, and just throw in some facts & don't worry if it doesn't sound good. Unless you have a spelling problem, or cant type fast enough to write your self then I'd suggest doing the copy method. Or find a friend who has gone to college that can write good content for you.
