The problem with writing services is, for someone doing a large scale they are just too much money. I mean lets say I wanted 100 posts a week. That's $300 a week if you figure the average service charges $3 per post (assuming it's quality).

That breaks down to being only 20 posts per day if you figure a 5 day work week. You could easily hire a local college student for that same money and likely get more posts out of them for the same money. Of course you would have to train them, but still I think you would be better off.

Not knocking the writing services out there as I've used a few and had good results, but it's just too expensive in the long run at the average prices. Then when you get down to it, 100 posts a week isn't even large scale, so it could really add up.
