Hiring a freelancer to write an article for your blog has two advantages: It frees you to manage other aspects of your blog, and it can bring a fresh perspective to your articles.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Perform a search with the term "writers' forums" in your favorite search engine.
Step2
Locate several writers that may suit your needs and initiate contact via email.
Step3
Begin a dialogue with at least three writers and discuss terms of service.
Step4
Decide on one writer that you think will suit your blog the best, but let the others know that you may be in touch.

Tips & Warnings

  • Be sure to ask for a sample of each freelancer's work.
  • Be very clear in your expectations and requirements when discussing articles with a potential freelancer.
  • Ask for a trial period before committing to any long-term agreements.
  • Do not be afraid to give constructive criticism. Remember that you are paying for a service.
  • Do not completely sever ties with your second and third choices.
