The search engine results are yours so choose a content writer (blogger) wisely.
Tips For Hiring Content Writers:
**Business owners are responsible for all content placed on a website. If a writer plagiarizes content, passes it off as original, turns it over to a business owner who posts it, the business owner is legally responsible.
1. Do a Google search for writers: Pay a stranger to write about your business after spending time explaining what they need to know about your business. Edit their copy, check spelling, grammar, punctuation. Post copy to your website.
2. Turn to Craigslist: Hire a stranger to write about your business. It’s cheap but you’ll have to hope they didn’t lift the copy from another site or are writing the same copy for you as they are another client. You’ll have to proofread carefully, allow time for delivery and rewrites. There are no guarantees on who the writer is or if they’ll produce what you need. Resumes and online profiles can be falsified.
3. Hire The Marketing Square: An experienced website content writer provides original, proofread, strategic content on deadline. Writer reviews the existing website for tone and to learn products or services. Website owners can be interviewed to determine areas of the business needing additional sales. A written contract provides details of service and a quality guarantee. Original, strategic, proofread, sales-driving copy is e-mailed to website owners. Blogger can also post directly to the website.
4. Write your own content: Business owners can write their own content or have a staff member write content. Write posts on days off, or at a set time every day. Add content regularly to assure being found on search engines.
