Textbroker did not work for me. Any recommendations?

I tried out textbroker . com recently (200 odd articles) and had a harrowing experience. With some practice, I managed to get it to work, but the overall time required was comparable to writing all the articles myself.

Anyone have any recommendations (and price points) for getting content written?

I used to use a guy in India called Ajeet

I am having no choice but to use him too

But for article marketing kind of jobs, I cannot justify the time spent on writing an article

I have a guy who does 300-500 word articles pretty cheap (about $3 each if I remember correctly). Has a team too so is usually reasonably fast (~1 week for 100 articles). They are decent quality too (not amazing but good for MFA type sites). Let me dig out his details and drop you a PM.

You are likely going to hate this answer but trial and error. I have never found a good place to get great content as really, those who can do. Alternatively they charge a lot and do it at a large price. So as is always my mantra, define what you need and plan to how to get it.
Example you need articles on law, so you find a few serious forums targeting law students. Well chances are there are a few talented writers there who would like to make some extra cash, they write well and its great content.
Need it cheaper, haunt fivver, until you find some one who can spin existing information believably and with enough originality.
Regardless of price your best bet is always going to be tracking down individuals who can produce it and working with them over a period of time.
I appreciate none of this has actually answered the question.
I do not have any idea how much text broker ran you but there is probably some smart kid who could plagiarize information together into articles for the same price. After all that's what 90% of what content creators do?
