20 Things to Know BEFORE You Hire a Copywriter
How do you know you’ll get quality work when you hire a copywriter from the freelance community? One thing I’ve noticed in my 10+ years as a professional writer is
Managing content takes
work.
effort.
time.
creativity.
Writing services are a needed skill set. You’ve got websites, landing pages, e-mails, blogs, social posts, advertisements, training content, and sales materials. There are other things you could be doing. Let’s see if I can help you with content.
My Writing Services
It’s all about the intent. What should your content do? Entertain, engage, or educate? Do you need them to buy it, try it, or schedule it? Content is King in the digital marketing world. My writing services can help you sort out your intentions. Here are my writing services:
A Commitment to Content
Have you ever read a poorly written ad, post, website, or blog and think, “what the hell is that?” or “WOW! That was awful.” You look at it with contempt and cringe at the errors. Or maybe that’s just me.
When you see bad marketing communications, it’s usually because one of three things happened:
- Someone tried to save a buck by doing it themselves.
- They asked someone inexperienced to do the work
- They hired a cheap “guru” online to provide writing services.
Often, they’re sorely disappointed with the results.
Writing is a challenge even for seasoned folks like me. Anyone can slap together an internal e-mail, creative social post, or timely text message, but that’s a far cry from managing content for business marketing. That’s a whole other ball game, and it’s incredibly competitive.
If you don’t put in the time to practice the sport, you won’t be any good. I’ve been practicing since 2008.
Why This Matters
I’ve seen it happen a hundred times – poor grammar and bad messaging can tank a reputation and budget. Remember, business marketing is an investment, not an expense. You should be thinking, “how can I make this better?” Bad writing isn’t worth the time, money, or embarrassment. Work with a reliable content writer who takes deadlines and quality seriously.
