Are you writing content yourself or you hire a writer?
I'm thinking of starting a blog and then hire writers.
 
Hiring writers is always a better option as you will be able to better focus on traffic part that way without worrying about content creation.
 
I might be biased, but definitely hire! Blogs have a better chance of succeeding if you can commit to a regular (& frequent) posting schedule which can be hard to manage yourself. Keep in mind that in addition to writing, you will need to handle keyword research and all other aspects of running a blog, so it can be time-consuming.

Do content writers write to rank or they just write, if it rank or not is not their business?

Okay if i get you correctly, I'll have to do keyword research for content I need my writers to write about or I'll leave everything for them to handle?

That would depend on your agreement with the writer. Most writers can handle topic/keyword research but they may charge you extra, that's all.
 
In my opinion it depends on what's the purpose of this blog, if its personal blog you most likely would like to write it for your own, if its games tutorials and similar hiring writer is great solution.
It all depends if you want practice writing skills, which will be good for you for long term, you should try on your own
 
It depends on the quality of the "writers" - but I mostly do it myself.
 
The best way to get content that fits your company's needs is to hire a professional content writer. Your content is the core of your online sales pitch so it's important that people read your content and want to work with you.
 
For some blogs I write myself. It is hard to get good writers in all niche.
 
Hiring a writer is a great way to focus on the other aspects of the blog.
 
Depends on your niche. Anything that's highly technical, I prefer to just write myself.
 
It really depends on the topic of your blog as well as the content update frequency of your niche.

These are the two main factors you should consider when trying to decide between producing content yourself or hiring writers.

Another thing to keep in mind is the level of personalization.

Are you going to be telling a lot of stories on your blog that are personal in nature?

Believe it or not, this approach goes a long way when it comes to building a loyal fan base.

This can still be outsourced, but you have to be very careful.

You have to keep a consistent story.

The overall persona that you establish with one ghostwriter must not change overnight when you switch to another ghostwriter or you farm out all your content production to a wide number of writers.

At the end of the day, successful blogs do get outsourced.

The key is to have a solid content outsourcing plan so as to properly manage your brand and the value you bring to the lives of the people visiting your site.

If you have the time and can produce great content yourself, you can do it yourself. But if you have other things that need your attention, for improved productivity, it's always smart to make use of other people's time by outsourcing to them.

That includes outsourcing your content writing needs.
 
For a start it's better to write yourself, to know the job before hiring.
