Content Writing: Deciding Who to Hire for Providing the Writing Content for Your Webpage

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 11:50 AM PDT

In the world of online businesses and SEO content writing, "Content is king." This is because having new web content on a regular basis allows search engines to know that your website is alive. However, content writing takes time and when you run your own business you may not have the time to devote to writing. So, to build brand awareness along with increasing search engine ranking, many website owners opt to hire content writers to provide web content.

How to Choose a Content Writer

But how do you know which content writer to choose? After all, there are thousands of web content providers available, each with their own style of content writing. So, if you are looking for a web content provider, here are some of the characteristics of a good SEO content writer:

  • The content writing provider should be a self-starter. Doing web content writing is not for the faint of spirit. It requires taking the time to research the topic thoroughly and then provide content writing that appeals to the client as well as the reader. A competent content writer will provide SEO content writing on time and not require babysitting along the way.
  • The web content writing provider should be organized. When you are talking to someone about content writing be sure to ask how the approach writing content. Do they use a writing checklist, a calendar or task organizer? Perhaps, the content writing company has a team of content writing specialist where jobs are divided up based on skill sets. The more you know about the content writing development phase the more at ease you can be in hiring a specific content writing company for a job.
  • Does the potential content writing provider understand the various types of web content writing? An effective content writer knows how marketing writing differs from navigational writing, as well as how to write good descriptions, SEO friendly titles and paragraphs that are informative yet interesting to read.
  • The SEO writer is able to not only provide web content writing but can edit, as well. This is especially helpful if your company frequently re-designs websites where the site owner wants you to take the existing web content and give it a new look.
  • Does the web content writing provider submit nearly flawless (preferably, error-free) work? Despite living in an age where texting and three letter acronyms are common, content writing issues like misspellings, typos, improper subject-verb agreement, poor grammar and slang should not be a part of a properly executed content writing. When corresponding with a content writer pay attention to how they write. If there is a plethora of problems in their e-mails, chances are their content writing will reflect the same.

These are some of the most important traits for a content writing provider. After all, effectively composed content writing can make the difference in the success of your web business. Content is king, but if the content writing reflects the mind of the jester rather than the elegance of royalty, your web content may do more harm than good. Be sure to hire a content writing provider whose work successfully promotes your company!

10 Terrific Creative Writing Blogs

Posted: 03 Jan 2012 03:00 AM PST

badge for Top Ten creative writing blogs

If you know Copyblogger, you know that we believe in writers.

Which is why we always look forward to the results from the “Ten Best Blogs for Writers” each year — a contest currently being produced by the blog Write to Done.

If you want to become a better writer yourself, it’s smart to study writers with strong voices, to learn about the craft of writing, and to spend time with others who share your obsession.

You can do all of that and more by checking out this year’s winners.

Do yourself and your writing a favor and dig into these excellent blogs!

Congratulations to all the winners, but we’d like to give a special shout-out to our own Copyblogger guest writer Jeff Goins.

Jeff Goins Writer
Jeff writes about the process of becoming a professional writer, including what it takes to get published and how to succeed at the creative life without losing your marbles.

The Write Practice
Joe Bunting and Liz Bureman focus on one of my own favorite success factors — deliberate practice. Any writer will get a lot out of this creativity-boosting site.

Media professor and speaker Jane Friedman focuses on how technology affects us as writers, marketers, and people.

The Creative Penn
Once again, Joanna Penn makes the Top Ten list with her popular blog on writing, publishing, and book promotion.

The Bookshelf Muse
Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi offer a warm and friendly take on the craft of writing, social networking for writers, and more.

Romance University
A fascinating site run by a writing team to help romance writers “establish and advance their careers, introducing readers to a variety of authors, and delving into the ever-inscrutable male mind.” Worth a look for any writer, not just those in genre fiction.

Courage to Create
Ollin Morales makes the list again with his passionate, creative blog about his own journey as a novelist.

terribleminds
Novelist and screenwriter Chuck Wendig offers advice, information, and attitude in equal measure.

The Artist’s Road
Patrick Ross’s career has taken him from journalism and communications consulting back to the creative life. He describes his blog as “an ongoing conversation among the blog's author and its readers regarding the challenges and rewards of pursuing an art-committed life.”

WordPlay
WordPlay’s tagline is “helping writers become authors,” which shows that fiction writer K.M. Weiland doesn’t just know creative writing, she also understands how to put a benefit in the headline. She offers lots of advice for fiction writers to improve their craft and create publishable work, as well as reading guides and other material for readers.

Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners! (You can find the finalists on the Write to Done site.) Thanks for consistently putting your passion into words.

By the way, we couldn’t help but notice that there’s not a single blog on this list that’s primarily dedicated to copywriting. We love our creative writing colleagues, but we also love the brilliant copywriters and content marketers out there. So look for our own list of a few favorite copywriting and content marketing blogs coming later this week.

I’d love to get your input … what’s your “vote” for a terrific copywriting or content marketing blog that should make our list? Let us know about it in the comments.
