There are many types of writers. Most writers prefer not to work with mature content. Even the few who do are skilled, but they excel in only one kind of writing.
Some of these writers specialize in writing ads, while others work on blogs and social media, and still others write stories about love or fantasy.
It is also hard to find all these writers in one place. It is not easy to put an ad in the local paper. You could try ads on websites like Craigslist, but that won’t help much.
Your best bet is to use a website that helps you find freelance writers. One website like this is called Guru.
Guru is a popular site, but is it good for finding writers who can work with adult content? Let’s see.
Find Freelancers
Guru has almost 290,000 freelancers and nearly 500,000 services. But that doesn’t mean you will easily find the right person for your needs.
When you search for writers who work with adult content, you can find some good ones, but most of them write about regular fiction or other content.
Most writers on Guru write for ads or with adult themes. Some also write romance or adult stories.
Prices for Writers
Writers on Guru charge different amounts. One way to determine if a writer is good is by examining what others say about them. If they have no reviews, it’s okay if they are new, but if they’ve worked before and don’t have reviews, that is a warning.
On most freelance sites, like Guru, clients and workers can rate each other. If a writer has bad ratings, you should be careful.
Guru doesn’t have tests like Upwork, so you must trust the ratings from other people.
Writers’ prices vary. Some writers charge $5 an hour or start at $25 per project. This price is often from people who don’t speak English well. You may pay them and wait a long time, only to get a bad result.
Even if you pay low prices, you will likely need to spend more time and money to fix the mistakes. A 300-word blog isn’t a big deal, but fixing a 50,000-word adult story can take a lot of time.
Writers who charge $10-50 an hour, or start at $50 per project, usually do better work. But just because they charge more doesn’t mean they will be good.
Here’s an example of bad work from someone charging a high price:
Nobody’s around this creek so I pulled my skirt down, I had a long white T-shirt and a blue skirt by the way.”
This was posted by someone who claimed to be a professional adult writer. See what I mean?
Website Layout
The Guru website resembles another site called Freelancer. It is almost the same. When you post a job, it shows up in the order it was posted.
The site features filters to help you connect with the right writers. I’ll explain more later, but please make your job post as straightforward as possible so that writers can understand what you want.
How to Post a Job
Posting a job on Guru is easy. First, click the “Post a Job” button at the top right.
Then, fill out a form with these details:
- Title: Give your job a clear name.
- Description: Write a complete description of what you want. Be as clear as you can and stay within the character limit.
- Check for Errors: Double-check your writing for any mistakes to avoid confusion.
- Add Files: If you have any files that help, upload them. You can also add an outline or a first draft of your work.
To achieve the best results, tag your post with the relevant keywords. Use words like “content writer” and “adult content” to help writers find your job.
Next, decide on the amount you want to pay. You can offer a set price or pay by the hour. Most writers like a fixed price. You can also set a deadline to make sure they don’t take too long.
You can choose who sees your job post. You can make it visible to everyone, only Guru freelancers, or just invited freelancers. You can also choose where the freelancers are from or the time zone they are in.
Getting Started
To post a job, you need an account. This takes only a few minutes. You can sign up using Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, or simply with your email address and password. Once you verify your account, you’re ready to post a job. It’s free to sign up.
My Opinion
I don’t have many positive things to say about Guru. You might find some writers who can create adult content, but there are not many of them.
The few writers who undertake this kind of work charge a substantial amount of money, and the quality is not always high. You could have better luck on other sites like:
- Upwork: A large number of workers, good tools, but be cautious of teams and scammers.
- Freelancer: Good filters, but it works on a bidding system.
- Fiverr: Lots of freelancers, many cheap options, but it can take time to find the right one.
To learn more about these sites, search for them online. Overall, I recommend using another platform, but you can try Guru for a different experience. Maybe you’ll find someone you can work with.
