Content writters needed
-
Good Morning from 14 degrees C light showers & rain wetherby UK
Ok I'm getting really frustrated with clients inability to ad content so much so its time to go round the problem and find an outsource solution. So my question is please:
1. Can anyone recommend a contnet writting resource
2. Whats reasonable rates to expectThanks in advance
-
Thanks, I developed it myself
-
Uh nice, I know when you get into print and Press Release copy it can become very expensive as it requires a higher level of writer.
Yeah when I first looked at it I thought the UX design was good, lots of white space making it clear and the navigation very clear.
One thing I also noticed was the load time, very quick, which is rare.
-
Thank you, it's only been up a month or so and we're noticing a lot higher conversion rate and stickiness.
We've got a news article each day (coming soon), so I can't provide feedback just yet, but they seem alright, and have some big clients on board.
For the £200/day we got a lot of value for money, it wasn't just online copy

Another nice thing about Textbroker is your ability as a 'client' to re-use the author if you like the content they're producing for you. Therefore, rather than having to continuously re-iterate instructions and 'break-in' a new writer, you can continue building your relationship with someone who has a little more insight into what it is that you do.
-
Another Vote and Thumbs-up for Textbroker.. I think they also recently launched a service where in you can ensure a local/UK based writers. Like with TextBroker US, it's only US based writers.
-
Yeah sure I will send you a message, rather then putting the personal details up.
If anyone else wants the details as well let me know, only UK based though.
-
Could you provide a contact please?
-
Another route you can consider is: www.textbroker.com. I've worked on both the 'client' and 'writer' side and one of the nicest perks as a 'client' is that you can create instructions for the writer to focus on a specific topic, include keywords, links and more. Additionally, if the author fails to meet any of the criteria outlined in the job description, you can request Textbroker to have the author 'revise' their article.
As far as pricing is concerned, the articles are generally priced between $10-12(US) for a quality entry created by a 4/5 or 5/5 ('star') writer.

I've looked at iwriter.com recently. the reviews aren't too bad, but I am yet to use them myself. They have a tiered payment system based on quality of article and writers level.
I've got a few contacts in the music street journalism business so I've approached them. That could be a good avenue for you as well. I'm sure the Music industry in the UK is underpaid as well.
-
That's a real how long is a piece of string question and depends to some extent on the quality, length, topic etc. We have a bunch of writers that can cover some areas and I have a bunch of freelancers I am happy to share if you give me a rough idea of what you are looking for.

Are you just getting copy done from 'content plus' or all round package?
£200 a day must of got you some good copy.
By the way, like your website looks clean.
-
We are about to sign up for a London based company called content plus. We have previously paid £200+/day to outsource a copywriter.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
We use these guys http://buykeywordarticles.com/ on a regular basis for content articles for a number of our sites. There around £4,50 An article and are quiet quick with there response times on requests for more articles.
-
I use a UK based copywriter rather then a online service, find being able to call and email him direct helps get the content write from the word go, rather then getting it, sending back to make amends etc.
With all the research involved I think £25 for 500 words of onsite copy is good, 2000 words £100, job done.
-
No personal experience with outsourcing content creation, tho you might just take a look at: http://www.ghostbloggers.net/ It gives you a good idea about the prices as wel.

2 Domains, 1 Brand - Content Marketing Strategy Question
I have a customer that has two separate locations for the same business on two different URLs (both connected via Landing Page). I cannot change this. They are in the powersports industry (snowmobiles, ATVs, motorcycles, dirt bikes, etc). The locations are about 10 miles from one another, essentially sell the same brands & products (there are 1 or 2 exceptions), have the same target audience (local & from out-of-state), and have the same goals. They currently rank #1 and #2 for their industry in their area. They now want a content marketing strategy. I face limitations with the CMS (no blog abilities and technical issues that are out of my control), and content marketing can really only consist of custom graphics & custom page creation. Typically, custom pages are utilized by creating Brand Pages describing the major brands to built out authority in those categories, and then try to branch out from there to create individual product-category pages with more unique content to answer more of a question based on the intent. I am very concerned about creating content that will be too similar between the two locations and will thus compete with the other location, so I am thinking I should devise a completely different strategy for 1 location over the other. Is that a good idea? I think with the smaller location, I choose the typical route of creating brand pages, product pages, etc, and then with the bigger location, try to focus on unique content such as buyer's guide, local SEO ideas about the area, FAQs, testimonials, etc. Thoughts/ideas?

Community Discussion: Can 10x content be short-form content?
In his (intentionally very short) post on Tuesday, Rand makes the case that long-form content isn't necessarily great content: "Rather than applying a tactic like long-form content universally or setting length as the bar (or even a metric) for greatness, we instead match our content to our audience's needs and our business/personal goals. 700 more words will not help you reach your goals any more than 7 more words. Create content that helps people. Do it efficiently. Never write an ultimate guide where a single image could more powerfully convey the same value. Trust me; your audience and your bottom line will thank you." I think this is something we all struggle with as online marketers, in one way or another. As someone who casually consumes online content on a regular basis, this also resonates with me on a personal level. I'm curious, what are your hesitations with focusing on shorter-form content that packs a wallop, and what excites you about it? Can you think of any examples of content you've come across that you consider 10x short-form content?

SEO for a News based site : Outdated content
How do we maintain the SEO of a 5 year old News content based site? How should we deal with 3-4 year old content, which are outdated or not searched? Some of them are still useful as archiving/history of a topic..but not searched.... ?? Should we no-index them? or should we keep it like that?

Getting Duplicated Content Removed
So I recently took over an in-house SEO role and began some house cleaning. I found a few places that had copied or duplicated our homepage content. Naturally I reached out to them to ask them to remove or change the content. Today I come to the office and one of the sites I had requested to remove the content, had fired back at me that I was being rude, threatening and I should go f**k myself. As if this wasn't enough this guys was an upper level manager (managing director) and knows the upper management where I work. Now I have people in my company pissed at me, when I thought I was doing the right thing. Am I in the wrong or what? I had simply asked to remove or change the content and that failure to do so could result in legal action. I understand that it could have been misconstrued as a threat (which it wasn't intended to be) but its seems like a pretty immature response from a higher level person. Any thoughts or advice on what to do next?
