We know that content is important for various things, starting with website promotion and ending with building up a loyal audience. However, no matter what your final goal is, there’s only one way to achieve it – you have to fill your website or blog with high-quality content constantly.
In order to do so, you have to find the right writers for your blog. Doing this can be a real challenge: after all, you probably wouldn’t want to entrust your blog to a person, who has no clear understanding of SEO, doesn’t know how to write for your target audience and how to make the content not only useful but also very interesting to read. No, you most likely want to hire the best or at least the strongest writers – and that’s an easy thing to do once you know where to look for them.
We want to help you with that, offering 8 ways to find professional bloggers online.

7 place to find expert article writers for your blog |
Sure, freelance websites are probably the first place you might want to visit. Fiverr, however, doesn’t require you to post a job offer if you don’t want to. Instead, you can check out a special board where the freelancers post their ads and prices, and then contact the person that seems the most appealing to you.I use it often to find some great and useful services, you too give it a try.
This website is the right fit for people who need a lot of content written. The writers working for The Skilled Writer are paid for a number of pages written, and the prices are very reasonable. Moreover, the work they complete always meets the high standards.
There are so many websites online that specialize in freelance jobs. The ProBlogger, however, is a bit different from many of them: it’s a website made especially for bloggers (and allowing you to look for bloggers as well).
In order to find writers, you need to post a job opening which costs $70 (though you will get discounts if you post a couple of ads). The price might seem a bit high, but it is like that for a reason: the writers you can find on this website will be very experienced and talented.
Sometimes you need something more than just articles for your blog, especially if you want to promote something or market a new product. It’s good to offer diverse content to your readers, and that’s where iWriter could help you.

An easy to use service that offers written content of various kinds. Probably one of the best things about it is that you don’t even have to choose the writer yourself.

If your blog is popular enough, you can try this amazing option. Guest blogging is beneficial for both writers and blog owners: first are able to backlink to their own blog, driving more traffic and getting a promotion, while the second receive high-quality content for free.
All you need to do to try this out is to create a guest blogging page containing all the details and guidelines for bloggers. Sure, there are drawbacks too: for example, you still have to find time for checking your email and publishing the posts (or granting the bloggers access so they could do it themselves). You’ll also have to check the content to ensure that it’s written properly but you’ll have to do it with either way.
You can look for expert bloggers in your niche or you can allow them to come to you. The “Write for us” page can help you with that – however, only if you do it the right way.
Don’t simply state that you are looking for talented writers. Come up with your own list of requirements in order to filter the candidates. For example, you can ask them to show a couple of examples of their previous work posted on websites. This will allow you to understand that you’re dealing with the more or less experienced and published writers as well as help you get a grip on their writing style.
Specify your demands towards the text, including niche, style, the ability to backlink to their website or not, and so on. And, finally, name the price – though it’s not a necessary thing to do, it’ll help many writers understand what to expect of you.
These are 8 ways to find amazing writers for your blog. However, remember that simply finding a writer is not enough – you have to ensure that they are as good as they claim to be. Be sure to proofread their articles with the best proofreading tools or hire an editor to do so. Don’t forget about plagiarism checks too, running new articles through Copyscape or another service of your choice. And, finally, make sure that the writers’ posts do fit your preferred style and deliver the message you want them to deliver. This might take a while but in the end, you’ll definitely find a writer that suits you.
