Why Pay Professional Writers to Create Your Content?

Better Content = Stronger Connections!

Have you ever been intrigued by the title of a webinar or conference seminar? “9 Breakthrough Strategies to Build Your Business in ’19!” screams one headline. “Everything You Need to Know About Attracting New Customers!" says another.  The promise of insights often leads you to register for the session quickly. But how often is the headline the best part of the presentation? Are you sometimes disappointed with the scarcity of useful content and left wondering why you wasted your time?  Weeks later, you start receiving multiple emails' pitching' you the presenter's services. You realize the event was a fishing expedition designed to get your contact information. Instead of building your trust, the sponsors have disappointed you and may have inadvertently alienated any future relationship.

Poor quality digital content can have the same effect. Your website, blogs, and press releases are often a prospective customer’s first experience with your company. Making a good impression with relevant and useful content marketing will encourage people to engage with you. The adage, "You only get one chance to make a first impression," is correct. Hiring a professional copywriting service is essential to starting relationships off right!

What a Professional Copywriting Service Will Do for You

A professional content writer will craft the headlines that draw people to your site or blog and importantly, will provide substantive information that helps convert visitors into customers. Think about a useful article or website you saw recently. The writing drew you in, told an interesting story, and addressed the curiosity that initially drew you to the content.

You won’t realize it, but the professional writer has also creatively woven key phrases and words throughout the content. The keywords facilitate search engine optimization (SEO) for the sponsoring company. SEO helps content become more visible online, leading more people searching for information about the topic to discover the sponsor’s content.  A professional copywriter has skills worth the investment!

How “Cheap” Writers Will Cost You More than Money

You can find writers who will provide content for pennies per word. To make a sustainable living, however, these writers must produce a high volume of content as quickly as possible. They'll have limited time to learn about your business, your customers, and your value proposition. Unfortunately, their lack of knowledge will be evident in their writing. Your website or blog articles will fall as flat as those webinars that overpromise.

Shipping your writing requests to overseas agencies may seem like a good deal. Weak language skills will often produce nonsensical content that your readers will quickly dismiss. You may be surprised to learn that robot content writing is available. Advancements in artificial intelligence enable computer software to generate content. Would software be able to empathize with your target audience? Could an automated program share relatable information?

Writing is a form of human communication. We use the written word, even in a digital format, to express ideas, share information, and persuade readers to accept our point of view. A professional copywriter understands the power of the written word. Paying for professional writing will get you results you need to connect with your customers.

Content Marketing Best Practices that Garner Attention

Remember the movie, “Field of Dreams”? It made popular the phrase, “If you build it, he will come”. Shoeless Joe and other baseball legends may have magically appeared on a cornfield-turned-baseball diamond. However, when it comes to content marketing, your audience will need more than a field of dreams to attract their attention. If you’re trying to get more traffic to your website, don’t wait for your local SEO efforts to direct your audience. Give them a hand with these proven content strategies.

How to Use a Pillar Page to Improve your Content Quality

Consider the dictionary meaning of ‘pillar’ – “a firm, upright support for a superstructure”, also defined as “a fundamental precept”. Your content marketing campaign is your ‘superstructure’ that requires a ‘firm, upright support’. That’s the key function of content pillar pages. Without these essential supports, your ‘content superstructure’ will neither stand strong, nor will it attract the right attention.

Two Proven Ways to Organize Products with Similar Keywords

In business, cannibalization typically refers to a loss of sales. A company introduces a new product that displaces sales of an older, usually more outdated, product. Instead of having an increase in sales, the market growth remains stable. What does this mean in the world of SEO and content marketing? Keyword cannibalization occurs when two products have similar keywords or phrases and confuses the search engines about which page is right for which query. Instead of competing with other businesses for search traffic, you’re competing with your own web pages. Here’s why keyword cannibalization is bad for business and how you can overcome it.

How to Build a Functional Content Marketing Funnel

Most people don’t wake up and think, “oh, today is the day I buy my new mattress,” unless they’ve researched different brands and checked pricing at different stores. Modern customers often take their time with major (and even minor) purchases. Using that information about today’s shoppers can help you design a content marketing map, or funnel, that guides the customer to your product.

5 Proven Ways to Improve your Website Ranking

The rules of SEO can often feel elusive, as if SEO is a great big experiment in which the parameters keep changing. Search engines keep updating the algorithm. User behavior is evolving and adapting to circumstances, all the time. You don’t have any control over how pages rank, or do you? Google will never share how it determines SEO ranking. Customers change how they search and shop. We may not fully understand the complexity of search engine algorithms, but we can test different elements of a webpage to see how customers and search engines respond to your content marketing strategies. It’s called split testing.

Revitalize, Refine, Repurpose

The Pareto principle is also known as the 80/20 rule. About 80% of your best results will come from 20% of your efforts. When you apply that to a creative endeavour like content marketing, you might be undervaluing some of your content creative efforts. It can be expensive to create content, from scheduling videographers, photographers, models, or even having quality copywriters write a blog post. Chances are that you have some valuable content that can be recycled or repurposed with a little elbow grease.
