How To Write Without Writing
Ever heard of a ghostwriter? These folks write material for other people for a fee. The buyer gets to put his name on the material as if he wrote it himself.
Okay, ever heard of a copywriter? Probably so, most likely in the context of website sales copy. A copywriter is a special kind of ghostwriter who focuses on advertising copy, which is what website sales copy is, by the way.
Imagine this…You're creating a website in a particular niche. You want it to be crammed full of fantastic content. In particular, you want to promote a specific affiliate product in your niche and you need a review page.
You certainly can write all that stuff yourself, but perhaps you have more money than time. In that case, you can hire a copywriter to write for you.
Tell the writer what you need and when you need it, and he or she will give you a price quote. If it's agreeable to you, you can hire yourself a writer and focus on other aspects of your business while somebody else slaves away on the content for your site.
How much would a copywriter charge you for a review page? That varies by writer. Typically, you'll get either a flat rate for the job (very common), or a rate per page (also very common). Most web "pages" are actually several printed pages, which is how most copywriters think about the work.
If you want articles for your website, you might pay as low as $5 for each one if they're 400-500 words each. A long copy sales page can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $25,000. A review page is typically shorter than a long copy sales page, and you could page $50-250 per page for it.
Many people like to hire writers at freelance sites like Elance.com. That's not a bad option at all, but remember, in most cases you get what you pay for. If you advertise your job and take the lowest bidder, you might get poor quality. The best approach is to take a middle bid, and start with a small project. When you find a writer you like, stick with that person!
