Odesk so far for writers with one exception has been horrible for me. awful english, than I even point out mistakes and they insist thats how it needs to be lol. I am sure you will find some but nothing around $1-2/words will be easy to find and you will end up with awful writers. Check there scores, they try to trick you :
- check spelling scores - often you see 80-9x% ...
but then check the basic english skill test and you will get the point. when actually using the language and you cannot find the answer by copy and paste in google they suck..
so have them give you a sample because a lot of them wont even bother to write an awesome article for that and you can already see they suck. if the sample is good have thme write 200 words or so on something random to see if they are still good. last but not least write on skype. if it takes them long to answer , chances are they use google translate. good luck
Thanks. To be honest, I wouldn't go to somewhere like Odesk for writers, unless I was truly desperate. I freak out when I'm at a grocery store and a sign says "Potato's - 99 cents a pound" -- there's no way I would be able to deal with most of the articles that would come out of there (or fiverr, for a previous poster).
