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.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Perform a search with the term "writers' forums" in your favorite search engine.

  2. Step 2

    Locate several writers that may suit your needs and initiate contact via email.

  3. Step 3

    Begin a dialogue with at least three writers and discuss terms of service.

  4. Step 4

    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.
