Seriously. Project suppliers must think about the fact that there are "writers" out there who: a) Cannot fully understand what your project description is all about. b) when they apply or ask you questions about your project and their question and/or application is already full grammar error? Just a small reminder: If you think hiring a Professional is expensive! Wait till you've hired an Amateur! Be reminded that the content is representing you, your website and your product. You do want to sell something right?? Do you think that your conversion rate will increase because of some crappy content? You do it for the search engines??? That's even worse! Don't you think Google is checking the quality of our content? With the new updates etc? They are constantly trying to improve their search engines and you are constantly trying to cut cost by giving up quality :S instead on to focus how to cut cost it's time to focus on how to make more money. Did you know that high quality content increases sales up to 15 times more? Now try to beat that!
shouldnt that be "when they apply or ask you questions about your project and their question and/or application is already full of grammar errors? from my experience, you can pay people high rates and get content that is not 100% suitable for your needs, and you can pay people low rates and get the same.
I think the title sums it up- "When WRITERS ask questions about your project.And the question is full grammar error!" But you should leave a space between the .And it makes me gasp for a breath.
when i work with senobia her work is always excellent. ive never edited her work once, and i will say that she is the best ive ever worked with to date. Sadly being good, she tends to be in high demand. i will be totally honest here, the rates people ask for, and people pay here are shocking. It makes me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcSUWP0QNeY I will confess that i have hired people at low rates, but i personally believe that having people doing $1 per 100 words is 'damaging'. It devalues the work of anyone with real skill and in order to get work, everyone feels the need to compete with $1 per hour. Sadly the public opinion is that anyone can write... and its not true. Anyone can bash a few words together to form a semi-literate sentence, but it doesnt make them an excellent writer. just my 2 cents. (no wait, its actually worth $0.79 cents)
That is 1.6 words a min.. If someone can only type/hen peck 1.6 words a min.? they must be watching tv and typing a sentence every commercial or extremely... Slooooww...
haha nice video though! anyways, I've been in the industry for over 5 years now and what I have seen is actually the other way around. For the real writers it's not as damaging as you think it is because it's a perfect time to show their true skills as a writer. So that feeling of competing against $1 per hour? No it's not a real pressure at all. On the contrary: Web masters and Marketing companies should realize that if you don't deliver the quality that their readers/visitors/potential buyers are looking for; they can miss out on the "real profits". Come to think of it: $5 per article is already very very cheap. Do you know how much real copywriters charge?? $2000 per sales page! But then you get a page that will convert (a Hard-selling page) Seo articles are at least worth $15 per article. Writing articles is much more then to create an article that is keyword optimized and 100% grammar error free. Less focus on Google crawlers and more focus on what your readers want because first impression is everything..after that there is no turning back. PS: when you readers like what they're reading, they are more likely to link to your website. And that is the most natural form of link building. What Google really wants see
