My First Experience With Copywriters
So for years I had heard how important it is to have someone else do my copy - and for years I had written my own. I was from the Cory Rudl school of long copy and had decided it was time to finally up my game.
So I began to look over some of the coptwriters here on the WF (and a few other places) and low and behold I selected a few to help me with several projects I was doing.
I realize not every copywriter will fit into this box but at least in my experience here is what I encountered.
1. Arrogant - The majority of respondents (4) all seemed a bit condescending and out right know it all. One of the 4 I tried to hire actually insulted my original copy on two separate sites - both of which are earning me money each month. I agree there was room for improvement but is this traditionally how most copywriters behave?
2. Overpriced - $$$$ prices ranging from $250.00 with NO proven track record to as high as $3,000.00. Jeepers. Ok good copy is worth it I am told.
Little Or NO Communication Each copywriter seemed to care less about communication and keeping me posted on progress. It was as if what they were doing was mystical / magical and I couldn't have a look behind the curtain.
Final Product Is Questionable At Best One of the copywriters could not even finish in 2 weeks writing under 1200 words and actually had to refund me
what I paid. The other three delivered in my opinion, really crappy copy that was an embarrassment to consider putting on my sites.
So what is a marketer to do? I realize this may not be typical, but it sure seems so for what I experienced. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks for your input. I am not against payng for good copy just seems like more due diligence is required when looking to find a qualified copywriter.
