In this case study I wanted to compare the results of hiring different content writers from Fiverr. I picked 4 writers that each charged $5 for a 500 word article.
I will walk you through ordering these articles and the results.

Finding Blog Content Writers On Fiverr
This really did not take much time. I use the Fiverr phone app, so I just opened that up. Next I tapped on the search bar then from the auto suggestions I selected the Writing and Translation category.
The first option in this subcategory is Articles And Blog Posts. I selected that next.
From there I just looked around until I found 4 different gigs that were $5 and offered to write a blog post containing 500 words about a topic of my choice.
I made sure to read some of the reviews and the full gig description before ordering.
These are the Fiverr gigs that I picked.

This is pretty standard Fiverr stuff. The gig cost $5 and Fiverr charges a $2 fee. I selected order gig.
Each gig had slightly different order requirements. Below are photos of each of their order requirements and what I requested.

#2
#3
#4
*Note* The write for gig #4 contacted me to mention that this gig focuses on casual blog post. I admit I did give her a pretty deep topic.
She offered to write the piece for an additional $15 or I could change the blog topic to something simpler.
We settled on – How To Write A Blog Post For Beginners.
The Paid Writer Content Result
I will be discussing the blog post as they were completed.
Blog Post #2
This blog post was the first to be completed. Other than a few grammar errors (less than 5) this article was more than I expected. He covered the topic plus some.
This blog post was 977 words long.
I did add some content to this post to increase the word count and cover my bases on the topic. A few more paragraphs, a few lists and a table go a long way for user experience.
For the price, quality of content and how long it took I am very happy with how this blog post came out. You can view this post by clicking the link below.

All in all not bad, not great but not bad.

Conclusion
I feel like I learned a lot from this Fiverr blog writer case study. Do not expect a perfect blog post, editing will be required. However, you will get a nice skeleton of a blog post to build your own voice into.
I think this is a good way to fight burnout or writers block. I also think compared to other online blog writing services Fiverr is a bargain.
Taking a bit of time to add content and media to these really makes them come to life. Make sure to add your flavor and voice to the post so you do not end up with different writing styles on your website.
My Favorite Fiverr Blog Writer
Blog post writer #2 or Trevis24 won this case study by a long shot. At 977 words he basically doubled the word count of every other writer. The delivery was fast but the writing did not seem rushed. He did his own research and was very nice to chat with.
Since doing this case study I have made Trevis24 my go to paid blog content writer. If you want a longer post say 1000, 2000, or 3000 words just chat with him about it before hand and he’ll give you a reasonably priced quote.
I’ve had him write four more blog post for me and I have liked every single one. He has also not turned down any of the topics I wanted him to write about which is pretty cool. He does thorough research on the topic, organizes the information, and delivers a hefty word count for a great price.
