Need a copywriter

DavidO · 09-05-2008, 11:07 AM

Can anyone recommend a good copywriter for a health product? This is an established product that needs a good rewrite, plenty of material to work with and some of it's technical. Needs to be available too.

Oh, and I don't want to spend more than $50 (just kidding, but if my pockets were deep I'd have Michael Fortin on this right now!).

Thanks for any recommendations.

$50? Go to Elance - Find and hire programmers, designers, writers and other independent professionals

Ya get what ya pay for.

English should be one of their languages.

Somebody took that $50 joke to heart

50$ = only for the headline

Lol.. To the OP.. What prices are you looking to pay for quality work?

You might get more serious responses as opposed to using your $50 joke..

Okay, the $50 is obviously a joke and, as such, indicates that I'm aware of the market price and that you get what you pay for. I've had too many "cheap" copywriters in the past. Having said that, I'm also not at the top end of the market either. Nuff said?

Hi DavidO,

I know what you mean about "cheap" copywriters. I've been hired to clean up after a few. While cleaning up those letters I was shocked to find that some of the copy was actually copied off of other websites- word for word! You have to be careful when the offer sounds too good to be true.

I read a recent thread on this forum warning people not to hire a copywriter if they didn't charge atleast $1500.

I had to pipe up on that one because I only charge $997 at the moment. The reason being is that I'm building my portfolio.

The genius of my offer (and why people feel good about hiring me) is that I have an awesome copywriting mentor who analyzes my copy and consults with me every step of the way.

So when people hire me it's kind of like they're getting two copywriters for the price of one (which is a real bargain since my mentor charges $6,000 per project.)

Send me a PM if you want and we can talk further about what you're looking for.

Take care,

Rebecca
