How to Get the Most Out of Your Freelance Copywriter November 29th, 2008

Freelance copywriters can help you get more done for less in more ways than you realized before. It’s certainly very convenient to call up your regular freelancer and get them to finish up some copywriting work for you, on a brochure or sales letter, in a hurry but there are other ways to get the most out of your freelancer copywriter.

A Tale of Two Cities

You’ve had a busy day and you get a call about a conference you were supposed to attend later that week. It’s happening sooner than you expected, and it’s actually happening the same time as another conference you simply can’t miss – and you’re supposed to write up both. So you take your regular staff writer to one conference and call up your freelancer to attend the other one. They can then take interviews, photographs and so on and write up the entire event, delivering a finished product to you within 24 hours. Convenient no?

In the On-Site Pickle

Your regular staff writer is taking an extended break, you’re hitting an unexpected peak of work and you need an extra pair of professional typing hands because your other staff is experienced or trained for this work. Who you gonna call? The freelance copywriter. Many are willing to come in and work on-site (at the office) for a temporary period of time as long as they are duly compensated, factoring in for costs they do not normally incur.

This works also if the big boss (CEO or Senior Executive etc) suddenly decides they need a blog or a forum for the company website and your regular staff writers are booked and just do not have the time. Calling in a freelance copywriter means the work gets done and already existing deadlines are not compromised.

The Ideas Plan

Whether a freelance copywriter hits the jackpot or not, bringing in a couple of outsiders to your brainstorming sessions for ideas is a great way to invigorate the regular creative staff and take them in different directions. Freelance copywriters bring in knowledge and ideas from a much wider field of experience than your normal writers might be exposed to and the slight edge of ‘competition’ is a great way to get the creative juices flowing like nothing else.

So go ahead and call up your nearest freelance copywriter for any extra work or ideas that need to be taken care of. Chances are you’re going to get a lot more out of them than you thought possible!

Building Your Business through Web Copy November 28th, 2008

Many businesses opt to utilize web copy to increase profits through boosting their brand online. However, creating web copy that is capable of achieving your company’s goals is not a simple task. These are a few points to keep mind when writing:

1. Don’t Be Apathetic

When you use passive language, you run the risk of losing your readers part way through your message. It could also make your copy seem outdated or even inconclusive. Therefore, you should remain current and address your targeted reader.

2. Easy-To-Read Language

Many writers feel that when they use an advanced vocabulary they will be more appreciated by their readers. This usually backfires and alienates readers who want a sense of belonging. Your readers need to be able to understand your message, so keep it simple.

3. Be Welcoming

A welcoming style of writing can enhance the interest of your reader. Don’t think that your tone is the only way it can be felt within your copy, word choice is just as important. Keep the readers engaged by treating them like a good friends, even though you don’t know them.

4. Be Sure You Can Easily Navigate Through Your Copy

You should strive to keep your visitors reading by not wasting their time. Making your copy easy to read through the use of bulleted points, sub-headings, bold keywords, or colored text makes it easier to get your message across. Not all of these will be effective for every audience, so make sure that you make choices that reflect who you are targeting.

5. Get TO The Point

It is important to keep your writing from rambling by using the fewest amount of word you can to convey your message properly. Creating copy with too many filler words makes your reader lose interest. No one wants to read thousands of words when they could get the same information in a few hundred, therefore you should stick to the main points of your message.

6. Keep Your Keywords Discrete

Keywords are a crucial part of web copy. Harnessing the power of keywords, is best done by inserting them into sentences that give them meaning.

Not all writers are going to be successful in putting these tips together to create strong copy. So, if you can’t master these techniques, your best option would be to hire a company that has expert copywriters who can bring their experience to your business.

Article Writing for Personal Success November 26th, 2008

Words are power. By inviting reader participation, you can use writing to maximum effect on your website, attracting many more hits on search engines than if you used any other method. Article writing is cheap, highly effective in building your webpage, and increasing the likelihood that other pages with similar content will link to your own.

Writing articles has a twofold benefit: it increases your presence on the Internet, and achieving the status of a high-ranking writer of articles on such websites as EzineArticles brings you both personal success and financial profit.

7 ways to increase your effectiveness as an online practitioner of article writing:

By using your own name, or a similar one, or a constant pseudonym (or nickname), you increase your reader base. If your articles become popular, your older articles become items of interest to online browsers, especially if you’re lucky enough to garner a constant readership. Writing under your own name, or coming up with a good pseudonym, is referred to in marketing as ‘name-branding’, and as someone involved in article-writing, you want to make sure your name gets recognized.

A second way is by creating what are known as ‘one-way’ links. Good one-way links will lead to more links on the Internet mentioning your own webpage, or referencing your articles. An excellent application of this method is the way web search engines increase the ranking of pages which are frequently linked to. Building quality one-way links via article directories is a highly effective method of increasing your visibility as an online article-writer.

Article writing can also incorporate the method of being ‘keyword-rich’. This means that frequently searched for names, phrases, or words should figure more and more in your articles in order to increase the chance that web searches reach your page. This means that referring to popular words in your articles will lead to more people reading your articles, coming across your work as they search for keywords of their interest.

Know thy audience. Think about topics that excite the popular imagination, such as cloning or stem-cell research (or celebrities). Then try to write more articles concerning those topics. If you’re trying to achieve success in article-writing, a very good method is to write what your audience wants to read about. If your average web-surfer is more likely to read an article that refers to cutting-edge research in a particular scientific field, try to incorporate the results of that research into your article. This way, when people seek information on topics that are popular or controversial, your article will stand out as a possible source of information. Remember that article writing is not only about what you think: it’s also about what other people want to read about. Better yet, link that research onto your webpage. This will lead to those websites linking back to you, and the outcome of a hugely popular and successful website linking to your article is more success for you. Article writing can thus be informative and rewarding.

Your reputation precedes you if you achieve success in article writing. Getting an online following, or simply a group of people interested in your articles, means that you become a name-brand as a writer. This enhances your reputation. Try to be among the first to write about a new or growing trend, or any else people may find interesting. This will enhance your reputation.

The advertising side of it.

In addition, advertising on your website via promotions and clickable ads brings you a great deal of money. It helps you make a name and money at the same time! Programs like Google AdSense bring more visitors to your articles by detecting what your articles are about. Increasing promotion in this way leads to more people clicking those ads, which leads to more money. Article writing can thus be both lucrative and entertaining.

In conclusion.

Finally, writing an article detailing what your products and services are about will lead to people being able to make up their own minds about whether they want to buy. Very few people on the Internet buy products that are not accompanied by articles explaining what the product does. Article writing is thus similar to being a salesman, since the face-to-face interaction involved in being a salesman is replaced by your text. If your article is detailed and well-written and you have a high reputation online, the product or service you’re offering is far more likely to be bought by the consumer.

Research Is the Key To Professional Copywriting November 20th, 2008

If you are just starting out as a copywriter, you must learn to use good research skills to get the job done for your clients and save yourself time and heartache in the long run. If you find that you must constantly ask your client to clarify their requests, you are not researching properly. There are some things that you must consider every time you are copywriting for a client.

The first thing that you can do to understand the kind of copy that you will be writing is to take a look at the successful copy that is already out there. You should not be stealing anyone else’s work, but you can take a look at the style that is used and how the copy is constructed. This will help you understand how your copy should compare.

It is not necessary to give a comprehensive and in-depth look at the topic that you are writing about if it is to be used as sales copy. Look for some facts about the product or niche that not many people will know. This will make your copy interesting and informative. Your goal is to get the reader to buy the product. Learn how to use these facts and interesting bits of information to hit triggers in your readers.

For example, if you were writing copy about a new dishwashing soap, a good angle to go with is the environment or how harsh the chemicals are in other brands. What are these harsh chemicals doing to the environment or your skin every time you use it? This is a good angle to take if you are selling the product. Find these facts and use them to your advantage to promote your product. Do some searching online about your product and you will be amazed at what you can find out.

You should understand that your sales copy must serve a need by the consumers of the product. What does the product do to give a benefit to those who use it. Think about all of the things that your product is supposed to do. If it is dishwashing soap, it is supposed to clean dishes. How might your product offer a different benefit from the other brands on the market. Does it have a unique dispenser, does it use environmental ingredients, is it better for your skin? These are the factors that you should keep in mind when you are writing sales copy.

Understanding these things will help you to write better sales copy. You should always make sure that you do some research before you begin so that you can find the selling trigger for your sales copy. If you do this, you will quickly become a top copywriter.

You can choose to outsource your writing needs to a writer in Pakistan or India and stay within your budget. The quality of these writers is outstanding and you should consider the following when you are making this decision.

The Cost Of Living in Other Areas Of The World

While a $5 or $6 article may not seem like a lot of money for someone who is living in North America or the UK, it is a great amount for those who live in other areas. The cost of living in India and Pakistan is considerably lower than it is in other areas of the world. This is how these copywriting services can charge such a small amount for the articles that they write.

Quality of the Services

There are many companies in these areas that are able to deliver high quality content at a very low price. It is wise for you to request samples from the writers that you hire so that you can be sure that the quality meets your requirements. Evaluate the samples for the flow and tone of voice that is used and whether it will meet the needs of your target audience. Grammar should be a top priority for these companies and it will reflect poorly on your site if the content is full of grammatical mistakes and misspellings. Stick with a company that you have used in the past to ensure good quality work.

Your Budget

You know that your content is the most important part of your website, but you may not have an unlimited supply of money to spend. You do not have to spend a great deal to get high quality content if you look around. Finding writers who will charge $5 or $6 for a five hundred word article will allow you to use your marketing budget to its fullest. Just make sure that you are hiring a company that has the experience that you will need in your content writers.

Fast Service

Copywriters know that the speed with which they deliver content to their clients is one of the most important factors. If you have a need for new content for your site every day, you will have to employ a company that is able to deliver a constant stream of new content every single day. Your site will benefit from a steady stream of articles and content delivered to the right places. This may be the one thing that will make your marketing efforts a success.

What Are Your Requirements

When you are just starting a new marketing campaign, make sure that you hire the best copywriters to deliver your articles.

You can find copywriters who can deliver the best quality for very low prices. Often the prices are as low as $5 to $6 per five hundred word article.

Grammar Counts In Your Sales Copy November 18th, 2008

When you receive sales copy that is full of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, do you pay attention to the product that is being sold? Most people do not take these sales letters and copy seriously when they are full of mistakes that any grade school kid would find. Many people believe that the quality of your sales copy is a direct indication of the quality of your product.

E-mail has made it quick and easy to send off a message to anyone at any time that you want. Unfortunately, this speed and ease of access has caused some people to not take the words that they write in their e-mails very seriously. You should always make sure that the quality of your communications with customers and potential clients is always the very best.

If you are not very good with grammar or writing in general, there are some things that you can do to improve the quality of your written communication. It is very important that you double and triple check your written communications before you send them out. Think of your written work as a reflection of the kind of work that you will deliver to your customers and clients. Do you want to appear sloppy? No, you don’t!

Common Mistakes

Here are some of the most common mistakes that people make in their sales copy. You will notice that these common mistakes all have something in common. They are a misuse of words that sound alike, but are spelled differently.

The first one that you see very often is a confusion of ‘it’s’ and ‘its’. It’s is a contraction that stands for it is. Its is the possessive form of it. This means that the sentence should convey that something belongs to ‘it’.

Another common mistake is the confusion over ‘affect’ and ‘effect’. These two words should be used in different instances. Affect is used when there is an action, it is always a verb and it means to influence. Effect is used as either a verb or a noun. When it is used as a verb, it means to bring about or execute, and as a noun it means result.

Who’s and whose are often confused as well. Who’s is a contraction for the phrase who is and whose is the possessive form of who.

Another common confusion is ‘you’re’ and ‘your’. You’re is a contraction for the phrase you are and your is the possessive form of you.

There, their and they’re are often misused. There refers to a place and should only be used when you are writing about a location. ‘Their’ is used as the possessive form of they. They’re is a contraction for the phrase they are.

It’s okay if you can’t remember all of these tips and meanings right away. What is important is that you look it up if you are not sure.

How to Work With a Professional Copywriter November 16th, 2008

You may know that hiring a professional writer is good for your business and bottom line, but there are some things that you should know about how to work with one. Here are some tips to make sure that the relationship that you develop with your professional writer is a profitable and enjoyable one.

The first thing that you should know is what you are trying to achieve. It is not necessary to know all of the details of your project, but you should have some specifics to give to the writer that you hire. The clearer that you are with the writer, the better they will be able to meet your specifications for the project.

You can also ask the copywriter that you hire to help you define your goals. Copywriters are marketers and they may be able to offer you some fresh insight into your project to get it off the ground in the best possible way. The sooner you can bring the copywriter into the project the better.

Create your project description. Then you should ask your copywriter to rewrite it in their own words. You can also choose to ask the copywriter help you to write the project description. Even if they help you to create the description, ask them to rewrite it when you are finished.

The reason that you should ask your copywriter to rewrite the project description is because you may have left some important details out of the description. Remember that you are more familiar with your business than the writer and what you believe is common knowledge may not be. A copywriter can show you what you may have missed. This ensures that you are both on the same wavelength about the project.

Create some goals for your project. Milestones are an important way to ensure that you are staying on track with the project. The copywriter can help to create the milestones with you as well. An outline of the project is a good first milestone. You can also include such things as a first draft and other subsequent drafts before you reach your final copy.

Always make sure that you respond to the drafts that the writer sends to you. Your writer will most likely be working on several projects at the same time. If you keep your communication going, you will ensure that you are placed on the top of the list. Get back to the writer as quickly as possible with your comments about the draft. This will let them get back to the writing.

You don’t want to make the writer chase after you for comments about the draft. They will think that you are difficult to work with and may stop responding to your communications as well. A copywriter is a great asset to your business and project and you should treat them as professionally as you can. These tips will help you to develop a good relationship with your writer. They can be a big part of your businesses profit, so make sure that you develop a good working relationship.

The Lowdown on Freelancing November 14th, 2008

Working on the Internet can be done from anywhere – from your favorite coffee shop, from home, or even from college. All you need are a few basic programs (like MS Word), a reliable Internet connection and your laptop or desktop.

Many times when looking for freelance work online you’ll see sites that want a bit of money from you to sign up or get work. These sites are often scams, but plenty of them are legitimate avenues for matching up real buyers and providers around the globe. A starter list of sites that do this could read something like: getafreelancer.com, odesk.com, elance.com and guru.com. There are plenty more, but these are probably the most popular ones.

Freelancing normally entails signing up on a website (such as one of the above mentioned), completing your profile, listing your skills etc, and then starting work. This you normally do by ‘bidding’ on projects and if you bid successfully and win the project, then congratulations! You have become a freelancer.

Some sites, in fact most of them, will take a small commission on any project you get, but if you are careful about selecting your buyer and the project, then you will not have to worry about that normally minimal expense. (If it is a large sum then be careful, it may be a scam site.)

There are, of course, both pros and cons to this kind of work (as with any kind of work). But if you are the kind of person who values your home life and your own time, then freelancing may be for you. More often than not, you can negotiate work to do at your own convenience and your own pace, thereby leaving enough leisure time for you to do what you enjoy. There is no ‘boss’ or manager breathing down your neck and you also get to choose the kind of work you want to do. Whether that’s programming, content writing, transcription or web design, you can put any writing or computer skills to good use as a freelancer on the Internet.

There are certain drawbacks as well – which aren’t really drawbacks if you look closely. For one thing you have to learn to focus and manage yourself because there is nobody doing that for you. What this really means is an opportunity for self-development and growth, and learning to take responsibility for yourself which is a skill that can then be applied to any facet of your life. You also need to have very competitive rates as people from all over the world, with different standards of living, are vying for perhaps that same job. This means that often you might be working for less than you know you are worth.

Nonetheless, freelancing is a very rewarding and skill-enhancing way to work and many people make successful careers out of it. Remember, keep communication as a high priority on your list, along with quality work, and you are likely to do very well in a matter of weeks.
