Bill Glazer Consulting

have you read his copywriting books ?

he's an outrageous marketer, and some of his sales letters have bought in millions to their clients

Keep in mind: the best of the best don't generally advertise much. They don't need to. They're booked out for months.

Start out by asking your friends in the IM world. Likely, they know of a hardcore copywriter who will follow your instructions and meet your needs.

Watch out for the many poor writers out there and make sure to request samples.

If you want truly good content, you are going to have to pay for it. For example, if a client of mine needs blog-filler or tier 1 link content, then I charge as low as $2 per 100 words. However, authority money-site content and sales pitches can start at $5 per 100 and reach up to $10 per 100 or more.

When you read an article in a print magazine, do you think the writer was only paid $20 for 1000 words? No, some are paid hundreds, and some are paid thousands, per 1000 words.

It depends on your budget, reach of contacts, etc. Again, start with your inner circle and see if anything pops up.

My apologies. Need to keep an eye on two year old threads getting bumped by sig file noobs. Isn't there something available to limit this phenomenon other than our own diligence (which I neglected here) to keep two and three year old threads from being bumped? gja


Top copywriters get to pick and choose their clients carefully, and with that in mind, the salary may be less than you think or what people have said.

#1-It depends on your company, How long have you been around? What type of product are you offering? How big is the market potential? How do you currently market?

#2- Sure, there is going to be some out of pocket money, maybe a huge chunk, but if you know what you are doing, then they might want a piece of the action. Some copywriters have been paid for several years on the work they did for a product which continues to sell.

#3-You might need a specialist. For every one known copywriter in a given industry, there are probably several more you have never heard of. Some established writers are known for their financial promotions, supplements, Biz-Op, specialty product, jewelry, etc., etc.

#4-What is the time line? When do you hope to have the promotion live? A year is a short period of time, and if hiring the writer is the last thing done, the best ones won't touch it (with a couple of exceptions) because it shows a lack of understanding of the market dynamics.

Without giving us details, it would help if we had a general idea of the market, the time line and company.

I have on my desk a Rolodex of the top 75 copywriters out there, and I'd bet that 65 of them haven't been heard of by most people.

The last question and maybe the most important one is, why do you think you need one of the best or top writers for your project?

Your answer, a considered one, will tell most experienced copywriters a lot about you and your company. Probably all they would need to know whether to take you seriously or not.

It's a Facebook group for those looking for copywriters.

I worked for a major company. They were paying the main copy writer over one million per year. He was worth every penny. Get the best and forget the rest. Maybe you can learn the process. Look at the product descriptions of your competitors. What do they say. Time to get up to speed is now.

I suggest Upwork! there are a lot of rising talent and really good people there, just list the things that you are looking for and you can ask for their previous work as well, and have an interview as well!!!

Happy hunting

I get a kick out of what some posters consider "world class".

There aren't that many truly world class copywriters out there, and they don't have to get out of bed for $5k or $10k. The best of the best tend to work on a fee + royalty basis. Think $100k + 2-5% of sales generated by the campaign.

You find these superstars by networking and gaining an introduction.

Its something called outsourcing
Go to fiverr and search for writers/freelancers who can write supreme stuff for whatever website/blog you wanna put up

87% of whatever copy you want has already been done for years which is where your paid copywriter is going to source his info..

I would hit up the copywriting section of this forum.

Copywriting

You could try the website copyordie.com. You can get a sales letter from there for about $300. I know of people who have paid $10,000 for sales copy if you really want to spend money on one. As far as top tier copywriters go, I think Mike Marin is known for being one.
