Wanted! Best Warrior Copy Writer

Thanks for link, it is certainly a good place for me to start narrowing down my search by fieled of expertise. Only thing is, it seems every man and his dog is a copy writer
So would still love to hear from people who have had good experiences working with particular copy writers.

Thanks again

Joner

Thanks all for your comments.

Ray - I was talking a bit tongue in cheek regarding the sheer volume of copy writers in the link Griffin sent. It's a lot of people to go through to find someone.

Going on the pricing Joe is indicating I think I will need to give it a go myself first and maybe get it re-written once I have made some money from site. $1000 + is way out of my league at the moment.

Thank you, Yoda.

I would definitely recommend checking out the Warriors For Hire section if your budget is less than $1K.

One of my mentoring students Ken Hoffman just launched a Warriors for hire deal where if requested, I review what Ken wrote and give him any suggestions (if needed) on making it stronger. You can get the details here:

This is the route I went many years ago when my budget didn't permit hiring a pro. The upside is you'll learn a very valuable skill that will help you long-term with your online business. The downside is you're investing a chunk of your time to do so. To get really good at writing copy is something that can take months or even years to accomplish.

The two books I most often recommend are Dan Kennedy's Ultimate Sales Letter and John Caples' Tested Advertising Methods.

Personally, I'd go the route of paying for a full critique. The reason being whatever copywriter I hired for the critique is getting paid for their time and can go much more in depth on how to improve my salesletter. A free critique, you're counting on the kindness and generiousity of a free critique giver. They may not have much time to spend on your free critique (because working for free does not pay their bills). The person giving the advice may or may not have much experience or expertise to be giving accurate advice as well.

Nail the list and the offer then worry about the copy. I've seen countless 5-6 figure product sales achieved with mediocre copy written by the product owner (instead of a pro copywriter) because they nailed down the right target market and made them a compelling offer.

Hope that helps,

Mike

As mentioned I am a newbie to this, so any advice is great for me. Now as to you not having time for me. Firstly I didn't ask for your time or comments, that was your choice. Secondly if you have not even bothered to read my initial post, then I highly doubt I would want the service you offer. If you are only going to leave sarcastic rude comments please don't bother.

It wasn't meant to be rude - just matter of fact. I didn't call you dumb or insult your integrity, so don't imply that I did. I simply stated that I don't understand why you're confused over so many copywriters in a copywriter directory in a copywriting forum.

Since you're new, I'll clarify the second part of my statement - since we're copywriters, we tend to write our own stuff. That being said, we know of others who are skilled at certain niches and can usually make recommendations. However, with as little info as what you gave, that's kind of impossible, leading to many people referring you to the copywriter directory so that you could decide what you need. To further clarify - I don't hire other copywriters. I can't make recommendations based on that qualification. Do I know talented copywriters? Sure. I'd rather know what you need them for before I pass along their contact information. Key information like topic, budget, and timeline also help. Had these people (who are taking time out of their schedules to help you) known your budget was under $1000 up front, they probably would have been better able to help you.

So we're left with my final comment, which could definitely be taken as rude since it was rather blunt. But if you don't have time to do your research, I tend to take that as a sign you don't have time to interact with me. Were I to be your copywriter of choice (obviously I'm not, so we don't have to worry about that), it would be a red flag for me, as would saying "everybody and their dog is a copywriter on that list". I'm all for helping people who've never worked with copywriters before. I have several clients for whom I do just that. But it's all about respect - please don't put down useful resources just because it seems like a lot of work. Sales IS a lot of work, as is finding the right fit for your team.

Good luck on your first foray into hiring a pro copywriter. Hope it pans out.

So, you're...

... a newcomer to Internet marketing (which probably means you have no traffic, leads or prospects)...

... looking for the best experienced Warrior copywriter (obviously because you want the best possible conversions)...

... for a high end product...

... and you're in the real estate infoproduct market (a market that's ultra-competitive)...

... it's only two pages of copy you're looking for ...

... and you have a budget of a couple hundred bucks?

Did I miss anything?
