Is every single blog writer just a spinner?

Yes, there is always the risk of a getting a fake sample. However, I recently I started looking to outsource some of my work and I found that there are tons of writing gigs by people for whom English is not even their first language, and yet they have a bunch of five star reviews. Obviously, a lot of buyers’ standards are much lower than mine, so their reviews are not a good guideline for me at all. You can usually tell from their gig description whether or not they know how to use proper grammar, at least. I have heard that some people copy gig descriptions from other sellers, so that’s not 100% reliable either. People also pretend to be native English speakers when they are not. At least if you see something you don’t like, you know not to buy from that seller.

I would solve this by just writing a couple of messages to a seller prior to ordering. Ask some questions that need a real answer.

I have written articles for clients that were published on one of the main marketing blogs in the Netherlands. Some of them gathered tens of thousands of views, ranking in the top 20 of articles in the year they were published. Any online marketing consultant (there are quite some) would be quite impressed if they knew. The problem is, the article doesn’t bear my name. And maybe the client is not happy that I share with others, as it shows that he is not the real writer (although he had the ideas).

I know exactly what you mean! I’ve had people ordering guest posts from me and sending me the most appalling guest posts which I then have to spend hours editing or I have to cancel the order. I have now just started cancelling orders as it is much less time consuming for me.

I just cannot publish low quality content on my website.

I’ve come to realize that the majority of guest post gigs here are not high quality articles written for people. They are written for search engines. And the posts are published either on websites that appear to be set up just to sell guest posts or on websites that anyone can register on and publish posts on.

I am a blog writer(creative writer actually 'cause I write a whole lot of things), and no, I don’t spin. I take a minimum of 3 days to write a post because I always make it unique. Before you buy from anyone, read the reviews. That’s the best way to know sellers who would provide you with top quality content. The seller level doesn’t matter, the reviews do. 🙂

How about self-deprecation, is that allowed? I had a client ask me to write him a 1500 word article (I am not a writer and I don’t have a gig for that). I agreed to do it, and it took forever. And it was terrible. It just rambled on. I wish I had known about this spinning business and I would have used that.
