We all know that hiring writers isn't cheap. That's because you have to pay for good quality. But when you need lots of content written, you're easily looking at a three figure investment or more. By asking three questions of your writers you can insure the you always get your money's worth.
Q: "How Long Have You Been Writing for the Internet?
This may seem like a silly question but it's a very legitimate one. Just because someone is a good writer doesn't mean they can write for the Internet.
Writing for the web takes skill and it takes knowing what online readers want. Only through lots of experience can anyone expect to create online content that people actually want to read.
Q: Are You Writing the Content or is a Team Creating My Content?
When you ask a writer for samples, it does little good if he or she isn't the one creating your content. By asking who is writing your content you can make a decision whether to use that writer or not. That's not to say that a team of writers can't do a great job! It just means that a writer should never lie about or try to hide the fact that he or she Is the only one writing your content.
Q: Why Do You Charge What You Do?
If you're going to pay for content, you are well within your right to ask why you're being charged what you are. The writer may cite lots of experience, the fact the the writing is always of the best quality or that he or she Is always on time. You may find the writer coming down in price after this question, which may indicate a lack of confidence. That means you want to move on.
A writer who isn't confident in his or her abilities likely won't give you the quality content you desire. But if you ask the a above question and your writer gives you firm answers as to why the rates are what they are, then you may have just found the perfect writer for you.
Finding quality writers can be difficult. But if you know the right questions to ask then you'll always come our on top.
Until next time,
