So I have a total newbie question. I am looking to outsource copywriting. What is needed for the person to do the copywriting with the correct formatting and everything? Who would you recommend for a low price but great quality....I know an oxymoron but still. I am strapped for cash but would like to get this project finished and my copywriting skills suck.

Thanks

    What kind of budget are you thinking? "Low" for some is $1000 and for others, $200.

    how bad do they suck because for low cost you're only going to receive low quality.

    As far as formatting and outlining, as the employer you should write out a detailed explanation of any requirements/suggestions you have for the project itself. Also, providing the worker with an outline of what the web page currently looks like always helps.

    <sigh>

    This is the message of almost every copywriting job on contractor boards like elance. "I want awesome results for zero investment!"

    You'd better absorb this:

    And we need a little more info about the project. Is it web copy? A letter? Who's your target market? What's your product or service?

    Dan Axelrod,

    Valid question. I don't know what a sales letter for an OTO page would cost.

    adammaxum,

    That is the crux of the matter. I have seen great sales letters for OTO pages but I don't know how to structure them or what is cosidered great sales copy.

    Kaniganj,

    Thanks for the link and I will be going over it for the next couple of days.

    The whole point of the question was to get an understanding what is needed to hire a copywriter and what to put in the sales copy.

    Any further suggestions?
