My site is a business to business site that will have articles about all aspects of business. It will be a business training site.

I am about to advertise for writers for content, and wondering what to offer the writers for there service. Would it be a %age of the $$$$ or do I pay them for the work and use it as I see fit.

Is there a contract we should agree on, that you might share with me.

If I get articles from a site, it would be nice to be able to sell them for what ever price without ending up in the klink.

Is there a site that can provide articles or content like this needed wordage that can be sold as E - articles. I have been looking around some but have found little without being charged a ton considering I am starting out and have to keep prices down.

Is there any other ideas any of you can give, to make it the site to be at for all dreamers of having a biz to the major corporations.

Would video's be good and where could I find them.

Search for PLR (private label right) articles or ghost writers who provide writing for your topic of interest. You can find article packs on specific topics. The cost varies but is generally very reasonable. One thing to keep in mind though is that the article quality can be bad, so you may need to re-write the article. I would also ask for a writing sample.

I've never gotten into anything like Clickbank (I am a plodding turtle who does everything for themselves regardless of the consequences—I call it tenacity and determination, my wife calls it something else), so perhaps someone else could help out here.

But you might find material there or offer to pay on percentages of sales and help people arrange to put them through Clickbank or whatever. The reason for the thinking is that most people will either want real money or some way to be sure they get the percentages they are promised.

So far pretty good suggestions. You can Google "where to find article writers" and get a huge amount of links to various writing services.

Then there are a few of the webmastering forums like SitePoint and Digital Point which have places to hire article writers. They are not as good as they used to be but non English as a First Language writers can be had for as little as 1 cent or less a word, you just usually have to do a bit of touchup work on them afterwards.

Decent article writing from EFL writers starts at 2 cents a word and goes up from there. It is always a good idea to see samples first, it will save you time in the long run.

Clearly state in your request that you will own all rights with the purchase. That is SOP but if you don't specifically state it, sooner or later you will run into the unscrupulous who will keep using what has become YOUR property.

If your site is of the sort that you can give the writer a byline then more power to you. However it is not necessary. You would be amazed at how many people at "ezinearticles" hire ghostwriters and then put their names in the byline.

PLR articles do not have to be expensive. You can find tons of them online for free or nearly so. Once more, Google it! Also check on various "giveaway" programs going on. Just remember that they are a starting point and you really should do a little rewriting on them to make them yours uniquely.

================

On a different note: Clickbank sells ebooks and the like, not articles. It is expensive all around as you have to pay a hefty fee just to list your book there and then, since they pay huge commissions to affiliates, your price tag will be high to potential buyers even though you are not necessarily getting paid a lot.
