NEW! Top 12 Reasons Your Online Business Needs a Copywriter

Top 12 Reasons Your Online Business Needs a Copywriter Hiring a copywriter is one of the most important investments any businessperson makes. Even if you know how to write your own copy, you'll still find that working with a good copywriter brings positive results to your bottom line. That's because you could be too close to your product or service to properly write copy for it. Or you could be at that point in your business, when you no longer have the time and/or energy to do your own copywriting. One place I recommend for copywriting is All Custom Content: http://allcustomcontent.com/go.php?affid=YOURNAME&u=copywriting-services.html If you're still on the fence about the value a high-calibre copywriter can bring to your business, then read on, because here are... 12 Reasons to Hire A Copywriter: Even before a good copywriter writes one word for your promotion, he or she will ask you questions that will help you: 1. Clarify your target market Your copywriter will help make sure that you have a clear idea and understanding of your target market, and that your product/service matches it. 2. Communicate your USP A copywriter will also help you identify and communicate your Unique Selling Proposition. That's what makes you stand out from your competition. 3. Identify the features and benefits of your product Another part of preparing to write your promotional material is identifying your product's features and benefits. Without communicating this, you won't give your prospects enough reasons to buy your product. 4. Assess the strength of your offer A copywriter can also assess if your offer is irresistible, or if it's something your prospects can easily pass up. 5. Come up with all-purpose headlines Your copywriter will brainstorm dozens of headlines before choosing the best one for your material. You can use these for your website, landing pages, text ads and banner ads. 6. Craft an engaging "About" page Writing your personal story can feel awkward. A copywriter can write your "About" page copy, so that it helps readers know, like and trust you. 7. Come up with a laser-targeted, benefit-oriented title for your website and a headline for your home page Make sure your home page communicates your USP within 3 seconds. A well-crafted website title, sub-title and home page headline are necessary for this. 8. Describe your products and services in a customer-focused way If you have a catalog-like page of your products and/or services, a copywriter can write descriptions for them in a way that focuses on what your customers want and are looking for. 9. Create an effective opt-in form for your site Effective copy makes a big difference in how many of your site readers sign up for your mailing list. 10. Write a high-conversion landing page for your products and/or services A good copywriter will create a landing page for your product/service that effectively gets you more orders -- even with the same traffic. 11. Write promotional emails that get opened, read and clicked through If you have a list, you'll want to occasionally promote your products or affiliate products to your subscribers. You'll need good copy to get more of them to actually read your emails and click on your links. 12. Create promotional materials for your affiliates to use Affiliates need promotional materials to help them pre-sell your products. Make their job easier by having a copywriter prepare solo promos, articles, blog posts, text ads and even Twitter tweets. As you can see, copywriting plays a big role in your business. You could do all the copywriting for your business if you want. Or, you can focus on other strategic areas of your business and hire a copywriter to take care of all this for you. All Custom Content can take care of all your copywriting needs.

Article 1: How to Work with Contractors to Create Great Content

How to Work with Contractors to Create Great Content By Alice Seba & Annette Elton Many Internet marketers use writers to create content for their websites. We are frequently asked for suggestions on working with contractors. Let’s take a look at some of the more common questions on the subject of hiring a writer. How do I find the right person for the job? When first looking for a writer, you might be tempted to go with the cheapest one just to save a few dollars but cost should not be your only concern – and never your first concern. This person is going to be writing as you and you should feel comfortable putting your name on the work they do. Here are some things to do to find the best fit for you. - Request samples of their writing. This will give you a feel for how they approach different topics, the amount of time they put into making sure the content is informative and engaging to your readers, as well as if they have an understanding of the subject. - Request references. Ask around your group of networking friends. Have they used the particular writer? Was the writer timely and did she ask questions for clarification? Was the client happy with the outcome of the content? Did the writer need to tweak the article more than normal? - Test their work. Give the writer a small assignment so you can see how she works. Does she take constructive criticism well? Does she make certain she understands the assignment before beginning by asking questions? Does she need hand holding throughout the entire process or do she complete the project with very little direction? What about payment? How payment to the contractor is handled will be something the two of you should discuss up front, before any work is passed back and forth. You should find out the following from the contractor regarding payment: - What are her rates? Do she charge by the hour, per page, per word, etc? - Does she offer discounts for on-going work or client referrals? Many writers will offer this. Keep this in mind for future projects. - When do they invoice clients? Do they bill once the project is complete, weekly, or monthly? What are your payment terms? - Is a deposit required? If so, how much do you need to initially put down? Although paying a deposit is ok, never pay 100% upfront. We like to think the majority of contractors are honest and ethical, but there is always a possibility a contractor will accept payment in full and then never complete the work. Give your writer an incentive for completion; payment or remainder of amount due. - Will you be paying them via paypal, check, or some other method? Paypal is pretty standard in today’s virtual world, but not everyone does it this way, so be sure to double check. If you want an alternate payment method, be sure to ask about that. How do I assure I keep a contractor that does a good job? When you find a writer that fits well with you and your business, you had better keep them. Some tips for keeping them include: - Give her continual work. Don’t just throw her a task or two a month, when you need something and expect her to stick around forever. She can and will move on to bigger and better projects if she doesn’t have on-going work from you. - Be patient during the learning curve. Working with someone new always has a learning curve. Your writer needs feedback and patience while she learns your writing style and preferences. - Pay her on time, every time. Swift payment makes a writer want to work with you more because she knows she doesn’t have to worry about whether she will receive her money or not. - Allow them to correct any mistakes they make…don’t just fix it for them. Your writer can’t learn what you want if you don’t let her know. Once you find someone that works well, using a contractor to create content for your business is a wonderful thing. Be patient during the learning curve that comes with working with someone else and if you find it’s just not working out, don’t sweat it. Let her go and move on.

Article 2: How to Get Your Website Visitors to Willing Supply You with Plenty of Fresh Content

How to Get Your Website Visitors to Willingly Supply You with Plenty of Fresh Content By Alice Seba & Annette Elton If you are like most people, you probably have more commitments than time. You make cuts to help compensate, typically setting aside the more time consuming tasks like writing fresh content for your business. Some people find it easier to hire a writer than try to schedule time to write but what if we told you, you could also get content for free? Here are two easy ways to get your visitors to willing give you content at no cost. 1) Encourage Commenting on Your Blog The first thing you need to realize is that it takes time so if you don’t have tons of comments right off the bat, don’t be discouraged…just keep at it. A blog that is up-to-date with fresh content will encourage more and more commenting. Just like with any other marketing you do for your business, you need to first build a relationship with your blog readers. Blog readers need to feel like they “know” you and the more you post and the more real you come across to your readers the easier it will be for them to approach you and build that relationship. Make your blog convenient for your readers by setting up an RSS feed and email notifications of new posts. You’re busy and so are your readers, so don’t waste their time by making them check everyday to see if you’ve posted something new. Give your readers something to talk about and respond to by asking questions and voicing your opinions on hot topics. When given the invitation to communicate with you more will do so. 2) Encourage People to Post Product Reviews One of the reasons Amazon.com does so well is because it allows its visitor to contribute their own opinions. People love to give their opinions and people also love to hear other people’s opinions about products. You can do the same thing. Post simple product reviews for products that your target market is interested in and allow your visitors to add their own comments, full reviews and ratings. As more people leave reviews, the more likely your site will be the go-to place for product reviews in your particular subject area. Tell your blog visitors, subscribers and visitors about the product review system. You can even offer a points and ratings system where reviews can earn rewards for the quality and frequency of their reviews. Getting your visitors to willing give you content won’t just happen over night, you still have to work with and supply some initial content and points of discussion, but once it gets going participation starts to multiply.

Article 3: How Do I Get More Traffic? That's EASY...with Content!

How Do I Get More Traffic? That's EASY...with Content! By Alice Seba & Annette Elton We’re frequently asked how people can get more traffic to their website, set themselves apart from their competition, and generate more leads for their business. Of course, there are many things that play a factor in this, but one of the simplest ways to do all of the above is with content. Many of us already know this and use content readily, but every day we receive new questions from people who are desperate for traffic, yet aren’t utilizing content in their marketing strategy. We’ve all been told content is king and we know it’s true in online business, but have you sat down and thought about why? What makes content the most important thing that a website owner needs to have in order to move forward with and grow their business? The benefits of using content go beyond just having a huge website with lots of information. Let’s start at the beginning of the content journey. Whenever someone sits down at their computer looking for information on a topic they go to their search engine of choice and enter a targeted phrase that describes the information they’re seeking. The more targeted content you offer your readers, the greater the chance of people finding you for the various phrases they enter. Once they’ve found your content, they’ll read it and hopefully take your product recommendations and/or sign up for your mailing list…and thus a new relationship builds. Offering quality, targeted content is just one way you can use content to get more traffic. Just like any other business, word of mouth plays a huge part in your website’s traffic. As visitors come to your site, they will take in the content and if they like it, they will pass the word on about your site. They may tell their friends and family about it, post your reprint articles on their site or blog about you, bringing you even more traffic. By giving them something to talk about, you can position yourself ahead of the competition. Just a bit of caution, regarding word of mouth…it works both ways. On the flip side of telling others about your great information, visitors will also pass on a suggestion to avoid your site if you don’t provide good content. The quality of your content is just as important as the content itself, so be sure you’re giving your readers the information they really want. Content is a key tool in improving your traffic and your business growth, but use it wisely. Take the time to think through how you present your content to your readers and you’ll be busy sweeping the dirt off your site’s front door from all the new visitors.

Article 4: Information Sells: How to Use Content to Sell More Products

Information Sells: How to Use Content to Sell More Products By Alice Seba & Annette Elton Unlike offline, when you run a business on the web, words often speak louder than actions. What your potential customers read is what will ultimately determine if those people make the decision to buy from you. When you hear the phrase, “content is king,” don’t make the mistake of creating content for content’s sake. Content is great and the extra traffic it can bring is a bonus. You just need to make sure you’re making the most of it. Here’s some tips for making the most of your content. Show them what to do and what tools they need to get the job done. Readers love “How to” articles and you can create some great content around showing people how to do certain things. As you create these types of articles, give enough detail so they know what they should do and also recommend the tools that will help them get the job done. Add your product promotions wisely Don’t end your article with “Buy Here” or “Visit xyz.com” People have a tendency to scan an article before reading and if they see wording that looks like you are selling something right off the bat, they either ignore it or will immediately move on. So, don’t give them instructions to buy, instead use phrases like "Further Recommended Reading”, “Further Recommended Study" or “Learn More”. We find keeping it highly informative sounding inspires plenty of click-throughs and sales. If you sound like a used car salesman, they may not believe a word you say. Inspire confidence in your knowledge and your recommendations Include links to your products within your articles. Some article directories don't allow promotions within an article, but subtle promotions in the middle of an article are often the most powerful, so make sure to sell in the articles you publish on your site and when submitting to other publishers that do allow links in the body of your article. Provide incentive to other to publish your articles. If you’re distributing your articles for publication, ALWAYS allow people to substitute your links with their affiliate links in your article. It's an extra incentive for them to publish your article over someone else’s. Whatever you do, ensure every piece of content you create and publish serves a purpose. Whether it’s to get people to sign up for a mailing list, recommend a product through an affiliate link or sell more of your own product – don’t be shy about letting your content do that for you.

Article 5: How to Sell Your Content: It’s Not Just for Displaying on Websites

How to Sell Your Content: It’s Not Just for Displaying on Websites By Alice Seba & Annette Elton Content – content – content, everyone is looking for fresh content. Many website owners simply post content on their sites, slap on some Google ads and hope for the best. Did you know that you can sell your content as a way to bring in an income? Here are some ideas on what types of content you can use to bring in money. Writing for Pay A great place to start earning an income from home is through writing for pay. Do you have a knack for writing articles, web copy or newsletters? If so, you can easily set up shop as a writer specializing in that area. Private Label Content Sell private label content memberships, bundles and/or packets. You can start out writing them yourself or make it a more hands-off operation and hire writers to compile the content for you. Just be sure you’re giving your customers fresh, quality content on a consistent basis. First Rights Selling first rights to your content gives the person who purchases the content the right to publish it before anyone else. For example, a magazine may pay to be the first to publish your article. After a certain amount of time, you are free to publish it elsewhere. You don’t usually get paid as much as for “exclusive rights”, but this means you can use your content again elsewhere. Info Products Create your own information products. Good examples include eBooks, video tutorials, interviews and teleseminars. These are all content that you can create for your market, but once you’ve established your expertise in an area, keep going with it. Don’t just create one eBook and leave it at that. Pre-written Coaching Take what you’ve learned on a particular topic and turn it into pre-written information to help others. Give them homework you check each week as they work through the course. They get extra help and you can charge a premium price. Be creative, keep the focus on your target reader and the information they are looking for and you’ll see just how powerful a tool content can be in your business.
