In spite of all this, when you have hired your worker there are some that will lie, cheat and trick you into being paid for writing that is not original.

Here are some of the tricks that they will use and you need to keep your eyes open for them:

#1 - Workers will steal other people's work online and pass it off as theirs. What they will do is look of articles on other people's web sites, make a few changes here and there and then sell you their work as an original.

#2 - Ghostwriters will find articles on other people sites and rewrite them substantially but in essence the article is still the a rewrite and not an original.
