 iWriter (www.iwriter.com) Rating: 2
Address and Phone Number (NONE)
Description
57% of our polled participants have outsourced through iWriter, a cheaply priced article outlet, where content is available for as low as $1.25 per article. It recently angered its writers and gained a bit of unwanted attention when it accidentally sent out an email, intended for its outsourcers, to its service providers, which advertised the service as “the cheapest place on the planet to get content written.” As expected, the service’s writers vocalized a strong dislike of the slogan and what it implied, and the service’s owner has been trying to perform a bit of reputation management ever since.

I haven’t used iWriter yet, but am planning on trying them out. Hopefully it works out.
Thanks for contributing, YogaDude. And please let us know how things turn out.
Its duplicate content all around. I’ve been using this service for a while now and the quality is getting worse. The content is not run through copyscape and people (or bots) are scraping and rewording. The concept is great but the quality is promises is not there. Brand Callen needs to step up and enforce this issue from happening again.
