Hey guys,

Thanks for opting in to receive the exact script I use on Elance to source and hire the best fit content writers to write killer blog posts.

You’ll notice I state in the script that we want to pay someone hourly and that a post should take no more than 2 hours. This helps you get a range for how much a blog post will cost once you see the hourly rate that applicants charge.

Remember everything is negotiable  especially if you’re ordering in volume. All writers want long term relationships just as you want to avoid having to continuously look on Elance for new contractors.

Here it is:

Hi there,
