How To Find Your Internet Marketing Writer

March 8, 2009

Thoughts

It’s hard to keep writing really good content every single day. Many people have experienced this and therefore, they are outsourcing their writing.

Why Should You Hire A Writer?
There are many reasons why you should consider to hire an Internet marketing writer.

Think of it this way, your business can only grow if you can keep up the pace and quality of your work. If you hire a writer, it will free up your time, and you can use your time to be creative, doing what you do best.

Let me give you an example.

I just hired one of the most popular talkshow hosts in Norway to visit our college. Everything is set, and it will happen in just two days. So far, I haven’t talked to the talkshow host, I have just talked to his manager. The talkshow host is never involved when it comes to stuff like this, all he is involved with is producing great content.

If he had to talk to all the people that wanted him to do a show, he would never have time to do anything about the content. This is why he hired a manager to do this.

Think like the talkshow host.

Hiring a good writer is not expensive.

If you outsource parts of your writing, you can spend more time commenting on blogs, builing links, finding partners, marketing your blog and finding new ways to promote your products.

My First Experience With Outsourcing
I read a very interesting book a while ago, it was The 4-Hour Workweek, a book about outsourcing your life by Tim Ferriss. After reading this book, I decided that I had to do something in order to get more things done, and save a lot of time doing it.

Since then, I have outsourced webdesign and writing.

When you get a little experienced at Internet marketing, you will eventually want to outsource some of your work. I think that outsourcing your writing might be the best way to start. The reason for this, is that it’s very easy to find writers, and they are fairly cheap. But if you are a strong writer, you might want to outsource some of your other work.

I just said that it’s very easy to find writers, it is, but it’s not as easy to find good writers.

Discussion Forums
Many people are looking for writers at sites like Elance and Rentacoder. You can find really cheap writers there, but usually, this is not where you find the best writers.

During my experience as an Internet marketer, I find the best people at Internet marketing discussion forums. Many of these writers are Internet marketers looking for an extra income.

The two best discussion forums I use:

- Digital Point Forums
- The Warrior Forum

If you use those two forums, you’ll certainly find really good writers.

You Need Samples
You’ll not have a hard time to find writers if you use the discussion forums above. But, before you hire one, you should ask for samples. Personally, I would ask for two samples.

I always check for spelling, grammar, punctuation, but more interesting to me, is the writer’s style. I find it very important to be a voice that I can compare myself with.

The samples you get is most likely the top work, therefore, if you find any mistakes, you should probably go with other writers.

All Communication Is Important
Don’t just read the samples, pay attention to all communication with the writer. You want to carefully read all the emails that the writer sends to you. Look at the language, the grammar. Take a closer look at the writer’s forum posts to see if they are full of errors. Be sure that the writer has no, or at least very few, errors in any of the communications.

Personally, I think that you should use discussion forums to find your writers, then, ask for samples of their work, and finally, pay close attention to all their communication, both emails and posts. But, there are also important things to remember when it comes to outsourcing your writing. You can even concentrate on a specific country, I have been very satisfied with outsourcing content development to India.

Writing Your Own Articles
If you’d rather write your own articles but are concerned about the time it takes, you can try a piece of software that a lot of people are recommending. It’s an easy to use software that will help you to write quality articles fast, it’s Instant Article Wizard by Jonathan Leger.
