Articles - All About Bulk Articles

"Bulk articles" refers to when a client will ask for a large number of articles on a particular topic from a writer. This can be from 10 articles a week to 150 articles every 5 days. The articles are ideally 500 to 1000 words long, or more; they are also related to a particular topic, usually a topic closely related to the product or the service the client offers. 




Freelancers on marketplaces aren't the only source of bulk articles that client go to. There are hundreds of writing agencies that supply articles in bulk, at a very reasonable price. Most of the time, all the client will do is supply a title or a niche, or explain their business to the writer and you'll have to come up with 100 to 500 articles based on that. 

Sounds hard, doesn't it?

Articles - Writing for Blogs, Part 1

There's a reason I always prefer writing articles for blogs - they mean similar-kind of work for a long period, with a decent interval between each submission. Most bloggers or clients won't require more than 2 or 3 articles per week; sometimes, when the blog is an old one, they only need a single article per week.  

Practical matters aside, writing for blogs is fun, more if you are genuinely interested in the topic you are writing about. 

When you are writing articles - or content - for a blog, your work needs to be of a high quality. Businesses depend on the quality of their blog articles to boost sales or attract new customers. They cannot risk a mediocre-level writer for their own sake. Blog articles pay well, but you need to spend a lot of time and attention on those articles. You need to consider yourself almost an expert on the topic, or at least very interested in the topic you are writing about.

Articles - Writing for Blogs, Part 2

To be continued after the previous post.....!  

3. Writing and maintaining your Client's Personal blog  


Both in our country and abroad, a lot of people are investing time and effort on a passive income source, via their own blog. They start a blog, monetize it, spend money on the SEO so that it reaches the right people, and then give a writer the job to continue working on it. If you are the writer hired for the job, you have to maintain a constant flow of articles on related topics.

Unfortunately, I can't add examples here because the job of a ghostwriter is to write behind the shadow of the "original" writer. You get it, right? If a professional chef has his/her own blog with recipes, they won't want other people to know that a ghostwriter is providing the articles, not themselves!
