I’ve ordered hundreds of thousands of words from CDP. They’re okay. Some content was awesome. Some terrible. Some just okay. They do a pretty good job for simple stuff like listicles, but when it comes to more complex content, I much prefer Writer Access or my in-house writer.

You don’t have Content Development Pros in this list? You said you used them in one interview with Doug Cunnington. How are they? I am planning on getting their monthly affiliate long-post blog package (30 blog posts a month at $2500/month).
Good eye Pranav. I added them. I’m not using them right now because I’m focusing on higher end content with WriterAccess and I’ve hired a full time in-house writer. However, for simple listicle stuff, CDP is okay.
Hi Jon,
I wanted your view on using images on your website.
Do you think if someone used royalty free images and normal google images but balances it out throughout their website 50/50 thats okay? And if not how do you get your images like you use in the article of all the companies.
Hi Jon,
I am impressed by your work. I’d like to give my feedback from the perspective of the writer. 2 – 3 years ago, it was easier for one to sign up to these websites but things have been going south since then. I remember I used to earn $ 8.1 for a 500-word article. It was paltry but I had no choice because then, scripted paid more but had fewer jobs. Today, I work privately with clients rather than use a third party.
