uk-netmarketing Archive (2011-2015)

We tried quite hard to find good writers. 
We’re quite niche so most good writers don’t know the subject area.
The best person in the end was someone who works in the area we wanted to cover, who I knew was good at expressing herself. We did some copy editing to finish it.

I keep my eyes open for other people who write well on industry blogs.

From what I have heard (and my own experience) the technical orientated marketplaces (ODesk and Elance) are not the best place to find them. Freelancers.net is hit and miss... so where else do you go? Is it worth finding horses for courses or finding one you like and giving them a variety of work?

From grammar, to US spelling, to the biggest problem being the slow slide of ennui... (how many articles can you write about XXX  before you get bored?). I suppose if I were to put a list together of what I look for is: writing quality, spelling and grammar, style (and suitability for the client), responsiveness and thick skin (to feedback)
