Autoresponder Rewriter

15 replies
Hi all

I'm currently writing my own autoresponder series and I was wondering if someone could give me any idea of what I might expect to pay someone to rewrite them professionally?

I know it's "you get what you pay for" but since I need someone to rewrite it might be cheaper.

Regards
Heimir

      I have 4 already but the plan is to have at least 10-15. I can write them myself but I'm far from being a copywriting expert so the quality is far from acceptable.

    Hello Heimer

    I recently came accross a resource that I hear a lot of marketers are using, I would recommend you check out Human Rewiter.

    They charge you 15 cents/sentence between 8-22 words. The cost scales up and down dynamically for higher/lower word counts. The total price for each sentence is calculated when you submit your article. Instead of paying directly for each rewrite, we use a credit system. That means if you pay more up front, you can get more rewrites later, they also have bonus offers?

    check it out..

    Anyone here have any other suggestions on a cheaper alternatives?

    Heimer, good luck and dont forget let me now how it goes!

      This is just a simple spinner service. I'm looking for copywriter to rewrite the series. Because, I myself have little or know knowledge of how to tap into peoples emotions and sell to them.

    The word "cheap" and anything to do with marketing should never be used in the same thread... "Cheap" = "No Sales" in the marketing world.

    And I do have a suggestion for a "cheaper" alternative... Hire a pro so that the emails will pay for themselves by, I dunno, actually doing what they're supposed to and converting readers into customers...

    Heimer, if you wrote them and they're "not up to par" why do you want them rewritten?

    I mean, if I were to write them it'd be from scratch... If you don't think they're up to par it's probably got just as much to do with the approach as it does with the word structure.

    I'd charge the same to rewrite them as I would to write them from scratch... In fact I'd prefer to write them from scratch.

    For 10 emails you're looking at a minimum of high $xxx, and quite a bit more in most cases...

    You can find a writer who'd probably do it for $20... You can also throw a $20 bill on to the street, it'd accomplish about the same thing.

    Feel free to PM me, if I like the project I'll shoot you a quote.

      [QUOTE=Scott Murdaugh;1212081]The word "cheap" and anything to do with marketing should never be used in the same thread... "Cheap" = "No Sales" in the marketing world.

      Scott, I think you took what I was saying out of context..

      I was simply wanting to know whether there were any "less expensive" or "affordable" options to hire copywriter as not everyone can afford a top quality copywriter.. or autoresponder writer, as in Heimers case.. and for the sake of clarity im not implying that neither I or Hiemer cannot afford to hire a top quality copywriter. I

      I was merely trying to help Heimer not sell anything so cant quite see why you have got on your high horse about the word "cheap". Scott, sorry I found your tone quite patronising especially, considering I could potentially need of your superior copywritng skills in the future... .

      Heimer, may I suggest you check out the following instead:

      • GetAFreelancer - a place to find affordable freelancers
      from almost anywhere

      • RentACoder - another top resource for freelancers;
      specializes in coders, designers, and programmers, but also
      a top-notch resource for freelance writers; a daily stop for
      freelancers looking for new projects.

      Heimer sorry im not able to help any further with prices...

      You can of course hire a fellow warrior, like someone here suggested..

      Scott, may i suggest you take a chill pill? no offence intended.

    Your Not Wrong Scott! Just adding to what Scott said you may think it would be an investment to hire a pro to do it but you have to remember they no what there doing! So if they are as good as they say they are then you should see a return on your investment

    Richard,

    You have 3 posts here... No credibility.

    Let's examine this paragraph, maybe it'll explain why I'm so condescending...

    They charge you 15 cents/sentence between 8-22 words. The cost scales up and down dynamically for higher/lower word counts. The total price for each sentence is calculated when you submit your article. Instead of paying directly for each rewrite, we use a credit system. That means if you pay more up front, you can get more rewrites later, they also have bonus offers?
    Let's look a little bit closer... "Instead of paying directly for each rewrite, we use a credit system."

    We? As in you're involved with the site, correct?

    I have absolutely no problem with this, except for the fact that at the beginning of your paragraph you try to sound like an unbiased 3rd party...

    I recently came accross a resource that I hear a lot of marketers are using, I would recommend you check out Human Rewiter.
    So is this something you've "recently come across" or something you own? The review seems biased to me.

    My tone IS patronizing, because you're recommending GAF and your own service... I don't have experience with your own service, and if it's good I'd probably use it for articles.

    It's nothing personal... But I get sick of hearing "I can't make any money"...

    And for those people, "I can't make any money" means I can't invest in graphics, converting copy, a good product, or high quality and relevant traffic...

    I don't mean any disrespect... But the truth is you have to spend money to make money, unless you're talented enough to do everything yourself.

    The only reason I said anything was because the OP doesn't need a rewrite... He most likely needs a completely different approach to his marketing.

    And I will stand by my statement... "Cheap and marketing doesn't work. Cheap writers don't sell."

    I'm sure your service serves it's purpose, but I highly doubt that it produces serious conversion numbers... If it does you should be charging A LOT more than you are.

    If I sound condescending I'm sorry. But anyone who can produce results at .13 per sentence either has no idea of the value they provide, or they can't produce value.

    I don't want to get into a pissing match here. My opinion is that you get what you pay for.

    If you don't like it prove me wrong.

    On the same token I sincerely wish you nothing but the best with your spinner service... If you're good I'll probably inquire about some work soon.

    Good Luck.

    We all want a lot of value for next to no money... the trick is knowing when and where you can get it.

    The problem with trying to hire a cheap marketer is thus: you're hiring them to sell. And if they can't sell themselves, they won't be able to sell you.

    I know some amazing musicians who make no money. I know brilliant artists who are starving. I have friends who are brilliant at various talents yet still are more or less broke.

    But I've never met a brilliant marketer/copywriter who doesn't charge what they're worth... because their skills directly tie into income.

    And Richard... I'm sorry but the idea of getting anyone half-way capable from one of those sites is about as likely as me winning the lotto... and I don't buy tickets.

    No self-respecting freelancer would go NEAR those sites... not in the marketing/copywriting biz, anyway. Maybe coders etc... but not anyone who is in a marketing-related field (and is good at what they do).

    So, to do this, I would expect a minimum of $1 000. Personally, I'd charge more... but I would expect you could get someone just starting their copy career to do it for a thousand or so, maybe. PM me if you want some names.

    And obviously if you want someone like Vin or Raydal... their prices will be much higher.

    As Scott said... your emails probably need to be rewritten from scratch... if they just needed tweaking they would probably already be converting well, if not amazingly so.

    I'm glad, though, that you understand good copy is valuable... it's a nice change of pace from the usual "What? Can't you write me a killer letter for $100?" types we usually deal with, LOL.

    Anyway.. hope this helps. Feel free to post back if you need further clarification from one of us.

    Hello,

    I am a little more expensive than some and a little less than others, but just to give you a good idea my typical fee is $100 to 200 per email message. For a re-write it would depend on your foundation. Just be cautious, you are correct, you truly do get what you pay for.

    Here is a quick tip that may help you if you are trying to write your own content: map your message. A- attention B- info C- call to action. With that said, put yourself in the mind of your reader. What would make you take the desired action.

    I would be happy to talk to you more if you like. Please send me a PM.

    Cheers!

    On the subject of writing your own... Raydal has the best autoresponder writing course I've ever seen as a WSO.

    Last I checked it was $27.

    He gives you a pretty solid blueprint on how to write great autoresponder copy. A pro copywriter would still be better, of course... but this might get you "up and running".

      I was actually looking at this WSO the other day. So now I decided to buy it, start writing my own series until I start to get some cashflow.
      After that I will find a quality copywriter to write for me.

      Thanks all for great tips.

    I've never been asked to rewrite an autoresponder series but to write a
    7-email series starts at $2,500 for my services.

    I can't imagine how I'll approach rewriting series of emails without
    taking the ideas and starting from scratch. This is quite different to
    rewriting a sales letter.

    Plus, I have my own winning template that I use which may not
    fit what you have already written.
