I want to build an amazon niche. My problem right now is content. I'm a non-native english speakers so I'm quite sure that I will make tons of grammar mistakes in the articles. At the moment, I cannot afford to buy content. I read a thread on here saying that it took three months for him to made sales and his english is no better than me. I dont even know how that was possible. I thought native english speakers would never bother reading review articles from non-native english writter like him. Any suggestions for me. Thanks.

1. Practice, practice, practice.
2. Do your research
3. Don’t fill your articles with fancy words trying to make your content look forcibly native
4. Practice makes perfect
5. Use Grammarly (if you can afford it) and http://www.hemingwayapp.com/ to check your content
6. Take a look at your competitors’ sites to mimic the structure of their content
7. Did I mention that you need to practice, like, a lot?

Yes I can afford grammarly premium but is it good enough? or I have to hire proofreader? Making 2-3 mistakes in an article is disaster. I personally would never buy anything from an article with grammar mistake in it.

You would never buy from me then as I am sure some of my content has grammar mistakes in it.

Perfect grammar is not always required for good sales copy and, in fact, it sometimes is a benefit to not be perfect.

Yes you make mistakes but they are "native english speakers mistakes". My mistakes are "noob mistakes" lol.
 
Grammarly free version maybe just enough for you, but if your english is not that "good", you may want to choose a solid writer, though its expensive.

If you outsource the writers to non-native speaker just for the price reason, you may want to use grammarly or teach the freelancer to use it.

2 options for you

1) hire a quality writer like Nerva, worry nothing only pay them of course
2) choose cheaper options then + grammarly, I suggest you go to check onlinejobs.ph or (bla bla other cheap places like iwriter...fiverr, which not recommend)
 
What about re-writing? It will be much easier.

Anyway, this type of content rely on your Copywriting skills more than Grammar skills. A great Copywriter will make more sales even with garammar mistakes when a native speaker may get 0 sales.. lol
 
You don't need to be a native speaker to sell things. Simple English can do well in the field. For affiliate marketing, mostly review type content won't work. You need a concept and tricks on how you introduce a product on your site for buyers.

2-3 mistakes a disaster? Do you have a budget to hire top-tier journalists? We are talking hundreds of dollars for a 500-word article.

Don't expect picture-perfect articles, even from professionals. A couple of mistakes here and there is absolutely fine because your articles won't be scanned under a microscope. The key is to write/get high-quality, engaging articles that can connect with the audience. The more they like the content, the more your blog posts will be shared. And, drive natural traffic.

Yes, grammarly is super helpful. So, get it. Again, don't expect to write perfect articles from the word 'go'. The more you write, the better you will get. It's an automatic process.

to get money off Grammarly, log in - go to upgrade - follow to checkout - abandon cart - wait a day or so and they will send you a money off voucher. I got 55% off doing it. And yes Grammarly is worth it, it has a plagiarism checker, spell checker and grammar checker, so well worth it

If you can hire a proofreader, go for it. Nothing can match the precision of the human eye.
The thing is, a decent proofreading service wouldn’t be any cheaper than a good content writing one, which brings us back to the budget problem.
As for Grammarly, the premium version is definitely worth every penny.
Also, as mentioned above, copywriting is more about persuasion, not perfect writing (although the latter is also important).
To put it simply, if you’re trying to get holiday money, here’s how it goes:
  • Excellent Native or Non-native Writing + Proper Persuasion = Holidays in the Bahamas
  • Normal Non-native Writing + Proper Persuasion = Holidays in one of your country’s top-tier hotels
  • Normal/ Excellent Writing + Half-ass Persuasion = What are holidays?
Again, remember that the more you practice writing, the better you’re going to get. There is no shortcut to success.

and inside grammarly there is a link to get a human proofreader, expensive though
 
Thanks guys I will choose to write my own content using grammarly + proofreader. It costs a lot but it worth it. My english writing skills will be improved days by days so I wont rely on anyone anymore. Btw @Nerva Do you have proofreader service?. I will spend all my chaturbate earnings to build this site.
 
How about paying someone for the article, with your affordable budget but you make sure you got the writting style, point of view and your opinion about the product/or topic the way you want it. In my opinion its important to focus on how the item delivered to the reader. Also newbie here, but I just want to contribute my opinion hahah

Also if you're using Yoast on a WP site, you have the readability scores on there too. They are not gospel but may also help you as you go along.

It's because my budget problem. If my english was good enough, I would write all my articles. To make money with niche site I guess I will need 30-40 articles (1000 words each).
Domain + Hosting+ Content+ Backlinks will cost me around $1000. That's big number for me.
 
- Complement your lack in grammar and language with tons of research-driven data that readers might not find in even authoritative websites.
- Go for mixed types of 'Text formats' such as bullets, tables, listings, infographics. Writing tons of paragraphs may bring out your linguistic weakness.
- Use tools like Grammarly, Hemmingway App, Copyscape to polish your contents.
- Do keyword research in a proper way to let google bring your contents at the top of SERP.
