Should I offer to write for my website clients?

Hi David,

It all depends on what your goal is.

What is your goal?

Always start with the end in mind and then work backwards.

If you plan is to make a lot of money then this is a bad
strategy as you are selling your time for money.

Building a team of writers to offer the service...well now your
talking!

Hope this helps.

Hi,

The easiest way to offer the writing is to roll it into the overall cost. One problem you will find when doing sites for others is that many clients get caught up and slow the project down precisely because of the lack of content. If you create a standard format for a questionnaire of sorts, then you can make it fast and easy for clients to provide you with the necessary information which you can then quickly turn into well written content.

dude, i would say if you can handle the work load then go for it, and If they are offline clients then at least 10-15 $$ a article, or just outsoucre from a quality provider and pocket the rest. but the more things you can do in house for your client the more potential earnings you will get....the more you show the more you sell

If someone is willing to pay you what is a good wage for doing so, AND you want to do it, then why not?

But I will forewarn you, as someone who ghost wrote for others for nearly a decade, some of the content they request from you will make your head hurt so much that you may feel your head will explode.

You asked if you should — and so are also asking if you should not do it.

My opinion is that you are best served by doing what you do best — and leaving others to do what they do best. Embrace and spread this mentality and you can begin building a hierarchy with you on top, administering.

However, if you want to administer and lead others you might want to take the word should and should not out of your vocabulary. Because people only do what they want and need to do — almost never do what they should be doing — as they implies guilt if they should they not do it. People avoid guilt, and gravitate towards desire.

Remind them why they want to do something — and remind yourself of the same!

Your easiest way to sell anything is to start with your current client base. There have been whole books written about this.

You should continually stay in touch with your clients with free helpful information and every so often tell them about other things you can offer them. Most people want to continue to do business with people they are already familiar with first.

Whether or not you offer them writing services or anything else you know how to do is up to you, if it is of time/cost/benefit to you and is in alignment with your long term plans.

I agree with the poster who said start with the end goal in mind and work backwords. Even when I start a brand new business or consulted with someone who was doing so, I would always say, don't do things today that you don't want to have to keep doing to make a profit.

Success of any business online or offline is systems that lead to profitability. Systems you may have to do yourself at first and then can hire out or automate later.

Good luck.
