Help! I Want to Open a Women-Based
Website: Where and how can I get good copy?
In a world where more and more women own their
own businesses, the best way to make your business stand out is to have a
terrific website. While visually pleasing graphics and colors will greatly
enhance your website visitors' experiences, good design will not get you
anywhere without good copy. And if you want good copy, you're going to have
to go with the pros.
If you already know all of the right things
to say to make people fall in love with your women-based website, by all
means, write your own copy. However, if you're like most of the other people
in the world and the idea of writing your own copy makes you shudder, your
best bet is to hire somebody else to get the job done.
When it comes to finding good copy, there are
more than enough resources that should guarantee you exactly what you're
looking for. If you would like to meet with someone in person to discuss
your ideas for your website, your best bet would be to take a look through
your local phone book. You may find what you are looking for by searching
for Copywriters, Writing Services, or Writers. Circle the companies that
appeal to you most, and contact them to find out exactly what they can offer
you.
As helpful as businesses can be in your quest
to find good copy, they will likely charge you more money than you are willing
to pay. If you are looking for a cheaper, but equally professional copywriting
service, it may be a good idea to investigate a freelance writing service.
Though there are many websites that can connect you with freelance writers,
the two most reliable services are Elance.com and Guru.com.
Both of these websites can provide you with
many writers who will compete to win your project. All that you have to do
is describe exactly what you are looking for, from the amount you are willing
to pay to the kind of person you would like to hire. That means that if you
are only willing to pay $100, and you want to hire a woman from the San Diego
area, you have every right to say so. Once you post your project, your work
will be done; the writers will all come to you.
No matter where you go to find a copywriter,
just make sure that you give as many specifications as you can think of.
If you have an image of what you want your website to say, be as clear about
your ideas as possible. Give your copywriter all the information that may
be helpful, and ask for samples before you commit to working together.
As long as you are clear about your expectations,
you should receive great copy that perfectly blends in with the look and
feel of your website. And once you get your hands on that copy, your women-based
website will truly flourish. |
