Hire a Copywriter – Write Quality Website Content
ByThe False Economy of Cheap Website Content
Many businesses, keen to establish an internet presence, spend a lot of money on Search Engine Optimisation and marketing. Quite rightly, they assume that this will increase awareness and boost their site up the rankings. However, after spending large sums on marketing experts, they shop around in the bargain basement when it comes to generating web content. Rather than pay a professional freelance writer editor, they throw a couple of dollars to one of the freelance writing article mills, which churn out reams of regurgitated content.
This race to the bottom guarantees that all of their expenditure on marketing will be wasted, because Google algorithms are too smart to be fooled by article spinning and keyword stuffing. As their site sinks into the depths of the internet, they give up, or decide that generating business online is a waste of time. If they had invested a little money in hiring a professional writer for their websites, they could have avoided this fate.
A Professional Writer Underpins Marketing Success
If these businesses had spent a little time trying to understand the science of internet marketing, they would have finished the job, by using a professional writer to lay the foundations of their marketing drive. A website is no different from a ‘bricks and mortar’ business, and aggressive marketing is no substitute for core values, built upon developing customer service and marketing the business as quality, not cheap.
Imagine a store where the staff spend their time ignoring queues, insulting customers, and know nothing about the products. This sounds simple, but so many website owners do exactly this, when they insult their customers by using poorly written, rambling web content, instead of professionally written articles and blogs .
A Freelance Writer Editor Writes Web Content that Informs and Engages
Hiring an amateur and inexperienced writer to create poorly worded content, riddled with basic errors, is guaranteed to drive customers away. The words on your website are your only interface with your customers and you only have a few seconds to project a professional image. By assuming that your customers are stupid, you lose the sale and they will never return. The basic concept of marketing is no different on the internet than when merchants plied their trade along the Silk Route:
“Identify a Problem: Provide a Solution.”
This is a simple idea, but it is so easily forgotten amongst the jargon of SEO and the plethora of spun articles and sea of pointless words. Customers want to find information, without wasting time reading irrelevance and tired sales copy, containing the mandatory red fonts, endless exclamation marks and absolutely nothing of substance. They want carefully crafted web copy, drafted by a professional writer, which informs and gently entices.
A Professional Writer – A Sculptor of Words
Hiring a professional writer creates an interface built upon mutual respect, building trust between a business and its clients. A freelance writer editor sees words as more than blunt tools for communication and, instead, shapes them into emotive sentences and flowing language. To a professional writer, words are raw clay, to be shaped into objects of beauty.
A freelance writer editor will write concisely and clearly, using subtle layers of language to appeal to the emotions. A writer will guide the customer, rather than using blunt language and including countless ‘Buy it Now’ buttons. The days of hard sell are long gone, and internet savvy consumers hit the back button when confronted with aggressive copy, mentally associating it with spam.
Experiment Resources – A Case Study in Professional Writing
One example of quality winning over quantity is the scientific resource site, Experiment Resources, a highly regarded authority site, with a Google Page Rank of 5. This leading site is regularly cited in journals, texts, lecture halls and classrooms around the world. The owner of the site decided that he was tired of the poor quality online articles on the internet, and set about developing a high quality scientific resource site.
He employed a professional writer, with a background in science, to develop informative content around strong keywords. With this alliance of sound Search Engine Optimisation and high quality web content, Experiment Resources slugs it out at the top of the search engine rankings, taking on websites with huge budgets. The visionary entrepreneur now receives a steady stream of e-mails asking for permission to cite the work in course notes and academic papers.
The site owner is working with his writer to develop a series of books, and the Experiment Resources brand continues to grow, an example of how employing a professional writer attracts success.
A Professional Writer is an Investment, not an Overhead
Scraping around in the basement and looking for cheap, rather than good value, is why many internet businesses fail. Businesses are increasingly seeing professional writers as an investment, not an overhead, and are waking up to the new paradigm of quality. Consumers want the type of rich content that only a freelance writer editor can provide, rather than the meaningless drivel available on the various article directories. A professional writer will save you money and attract success and give you the opportunity to gain an advantage over the competition.
Instead of presenting customers with poorly constructed web content, guaranteed to drive them away, you can use a professional writer to draw them in and entice them to buy.

Currently traveling between Miami and Florida, reading this on my Iphone. Will read it in full when I get back, and I will also post a backlink on my website. Thanks.
Good afternoon, just needed you to know I have added your site to my Google bookmarks because of your extraordinary blog layout. But seriously, I think your site has one of the freshest theme I’ve came across. It really helps make reading your blog a lot easier. Have you ever thought about blogging for money? there is a website http://www.abused-pets.com that pays you to write articles, you would be good at it.
Do you have copy writer for so good articles? If so please give me contacts, because this really rocks! :)
solid post , really good view on the subject and very well written, this certainly has put a spin on my day, many thanks from the USA and observe up the good work
hey man great post, if you get more than 500 hits per day, maybe we can link to each other or something, drop me an email.
Where can you get good copywriting classes? I hate it when I am stuck without any idea on how to write good copy for ads. My boss tells me that my choice of words aren’t good enough, or my words are too complex, or I don’t have the tone of the people I’m speaking to.. I mean, what the hell? As long as I’m writing good copy with interesting words, isn’t it enough? Maybe I need copywriting lessons. So, any idea where I can get copywriting lessons from an expert?
This is a amazing site post, im delighted I came across this. Ill be back again later on to check out other posts that you have on your blog.
Great post, I read this a while ago and, since then . I was wondering… can I translate your post into portuguese – with link to your original post, of course?
I don’t like to write silly things in comment boxes either. It’s not what I want to leave behind as my signature
Thanks, Stacy – Backlinks are always appreciated. Safe Journey :)

I really like the fresh perpective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying.

Just like usual you have presented some fantastic facts. Been lurking on the site for a while and wanted to thank you for taking a few minutes to publish it.
I do like the article very much, was really useful know what’s even better was that only the recommended portion was elaborated,clear short knowledge often allows and retains readers running around searching for any information and facts will never require a read again.
This is a very intriguing post, I was looking for this information. Just so you know I discovered your blog site when I was researching for blogs like mine, so please check out my site sometime and leave me a comment to let me know what you think.
I think am just having some problems with subscribing to RSS feed here.
Great blog, really.
Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this also – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get anything done… Regards
Amazing, that’s very nice information, much appreciated.
I am unable to believe the amount of top quality material which exists on this site. The site is incredibly eye catching as well as brings the reader straight in, the articles usually are wonderful quality and are very professionally written. I have noticed too many of these websites where it appears like they pay an eight year old to undertake the writing – Not this place. Your website is definitely the best that i have seen in a long while.
Thanks a lot for the lovely comments, folks – Due to the dire state of the Greek economy, I have to work long hours and don’t have time to reply to you all individually. :(
Take care!
Brilliant post, nicely done. And thanks for mentioning all that info – you have introduced to me to three new blogs and I love them all! Cheers :)
Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing the info. I found the details very helpful.
This is my cardinal opportunity i afflict here. I initiate so tons absorbing baggage in your blog singularly its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I judge I am not the only entire having all the exercise here! board up the good work.
You got a positively useful blog I get been here reading in behalf of yon an hour. I am a newbie and your ascendancy is selfsame much an ardour in the direction of me.
I was very pleased to find this site.I wanted to thank you for this great read!! I definitely enjoying every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.
Great post full of useful tips! My site is fairly new and I am also having a hard time getting my readers to leave comments. Analytics shows they are coming to the site but I have a feeling “nobody wants to be first”.
As a copywriter, do you ever get attacked for doing what you do? People saying youre doing something wrong, too commercial or something like that?
Very good post. Will you please write much more about this subject.
