Irony, Thy Name is Outsourcing

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — WebWriter @ 12:18 pm

I’m often struck by the irony of “business people” who think they’re making a smart decision to buy junk content just because it’s cheap. But seldom do we find such a rare jewel of irony as this. If you read it, you may be struck dumb for awhile. The next phase is disbelief followed by a fit of the giggles. Yes, the article is all about defending his stellar communications skills. A few highlights:

“Well we am an inexperienced communicator who uses many a place to place my articles as well as we bear what?”

“has no scold to determine a inexperienced authors same me what we crapper as well as cannot indite or many of a scarcely twenty-five, 000 authors upon an online essay humbleness site.”

“Many workman avowed writers encounter be vexed inexperienced essay writers who place their entireness as well as ideas cgange innovations online as released noesis for each takers.”

Apparently this guy gets work. Well, congratulations to the brilliant business mind who hires this guy to do their content work. What a great decision you made and how smart you are to find content for so cheap. So what if it makes you look like a jackass? At least you can brag to your buddies about how cheap you got your content. You’ll have to do it from your cubicle at work, since you will never make a dime and will never be able to leave your day job, but bravo nonetheless.

When You Don’t Even Want to Pretend to Care

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — WebWriter @ 11:39 am

If you’ve never taken a look at this site and seen the full horror of outsourcing Web writing overseas, please take a look around. If you didn’t think outsourcing to India was bad before, you probably will now. People who do it generally don’t care about quality and are not businesspeople in the sense of wanting to create something and then profit from it. They just want to be able to brag to their buddies that they got content for less than .01 a word.

But what to do when you just don’t give a damn anymore? What happens when even paying $3 an article gets to be too much bother? What happens when you don’t even want to pretend to care about your website? That’s when this invention comes in pretty handy. With it, you can plagiarize quickly and with ease without any one source becoming the wiser. The article won’t be good and it won’t make sense, but heck- you had that anyway with the overseas writers. Why not have it from domestic software? Surely this will revolutionize the need to “write” things. Hell, we could probably write whole books with it!

A Few Particularly Bad Inside Jobs

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — WebWriter @ 4:15 pm

I hate to say this, but outsourcing to India might actually be an improvement over this. This could be a $3 article, but it looks more like an inside job. To publicize his website and create a backlink, he figured there was no reason to pay anyone to write the article for him since he could write just as well as anyone else. He was wrong. Most of this makes no sense, and his “examples” are the worst kind of flawed logic. (Um, yes, people did order flowers before the advent of the Internet- it’s called the phone.) Much of it is little more than strings of keyword phrases with no point. Would you want to bother with his free report? I didn’t think so. Next time, hire a writer.

This is the classic “I know a lot about computers, so I can obviously write for the Web” mentality. No sir, you can not. Not only is the formatting completely inappropriate for a Web article, the grammar is a train wreck. And if you’re not a grammarphile, you may have been struck by the complete lack of organization and sense.

Holy cliche, Batman! This list of cliches is supposed to interest us in her knowledge about education? Um, I don’t think so. I can’t stress this enough, people- being able to barely string words together doesn’t mean you have any business writing for the public. She probably could have gotten a fairly good article that size for about 10 bucks if she’d bothered.
