Sorry if asked before but how much do people pay for outsourced writing? Also do you ever charge per hour or always per words? Thanks.

I pay between $20 - $30 per 1000 words. I’ve found there’s not much difference between this price point and more expensive writers.
I always pay per word, most writers prefer this as they can work faster and earn more.
Can I ask where you recruit those very niche topic, educated writers? I'm in a similar situation where my niche is too specific/technical for generic writers, and I'm looking to recruit a writer with personal experience in the niche. I'm currently trying to find someone through niche forums, but I'm curious where you recruited them from. When I posted something on Upwork I only got terrible applications.My Writers in the States/UK that are $0.05/word are highly educated on very niche topics (ie, a Mechanic writing about automotive repair), they have qualifications/certifications and I get to list that background on my site (also paying for their likeness).
So depending on the niche, who ranks, etc. You would be surprised how easy it is to message the writers for other sites and to get them on-board writing for you. This is obviously problematic if the sites that exist are single author blogs. However I’ve yet to enter a niche where multiple authors didn’t exist and one didn’t get back to me.Can I ask where you recruit those very niche topic, educated writers?

Thanks, that's an idea that might work for my niche. Can't really poach any writers from competitors, because most competition is just listing whatever sells on Amazon without any insight. But I do know of some true experts who have quite obscure sites. Problogger looks promising too.For single author blogs: Another strategy I use is to go deep into the SERPS and find blogs that are run by people who clearly know the niche. They may not rank for a multitude of reasons but they also aren’t making any money. Their sites tend to look like early html/css blogs, the blog content is usually orphaned but the information is usually informed. These people usually just need a bit of direction in terms of formatting. This also provides incentive as you could market what you’re offering as teaching them how to write for the web; They are able to apply what they’re taught to their own sites (again they don’t rank for a reason, that’s leverage/incentive enough).
How is the quality?In my local currency I pay let's say ₦100 per 100 words.
That's like $0.26 per 100 words.
Most of my writers are locals though
Very goodHow is the quality?
