How To Find Experienced, High Quality Website Copywriters

EDIT : Sorry about the misleading title, I forgot to include a question mark. I am asking for peoples experience in doing this...(hiring great copywriters)

So I have been listening to alot of Dan Kennedy recently, and he has recommended charging a premium fee for your services as long as you can find a way to add something that makes your services premium or unique.

I thought a way to make my web design services premium would be to find a high quality copy writer that is experienced in creating web site copy that converts into customers.

Does anyone have experience hiring great copywriters that increased conversion for this particular niche (offline web design)?

Perhaps I should REALLY niche and find a copywriter that is great at writing websites for painters/electricians/cleaning companies etc?

What do you guys think?

    I think it's a great idea to partner with a good copywriter. If you are working in the local market, I'd start by doing a Google search for copywriters, or website copywriters in your part of the world. Then contact them and see what you can work out. All the best with it.

    Trial and error bro. So many webmaster forums out there including this one where there is a BST thread. Check it out. Youll spend a lot initially, but you will end up finding the right guy.

    Fiverr??? for copywriting?

    OMG. Barf. Why don't you go get your car mechanic from fiverr, too. Oh I feel really safe now.

    We have a Copywriting forum right here on the site. It has a sticky directory of writers and their areas of expertise.

    Now I will say, you get what you pay for...to a point. There are plenty of writers here who don't charge an arm and a leg, but still get the job done well.

    Partnering with a copywriter is definitely a great move. Besides this forum, you can try elance as well and search for local copywriters, since it seems like that's what you'll need - local writers. It makes sense to hire locally since you're specializing in local offline businesses and "knowing the lingo" will be to your company's advantage.

    HAHAAAAA! The fiver comment got me too. Whats even funnier is I think he was being dead serious. If you're using fiver for copywriting you might as well just file for bankruptcy now.

      The offline niche doesn't render itself well to copywriting-style engagement.
      Personal visist or call center style marketing will do much better.

      BTW, the greatest copywriters (after they became ones) only accepted greatest products available.
      That's why conversions and selling were so astounding for those who hired them...

        What would you bring to the table that
        top copywriters would jump at the chance?

        You see, top copywriters either have waiting lists
        or use their skills to sell their own products or services that aren't about copywriting.

        I don't think you understand the marketplace reality,
        or we have different definitions of "high quality copywriter">

        Best,
        Ewen
