Hey, guys. I've decided to give it a whirl and take out an ad on the Warriors for Hire forum. However, I'm a bit unsure of how well it will convert readers into clients.

I know several of you have done this before and know a lot more about writing an effective ad, particularly in this marketplace. So, I'm open to any critiques you might have on why or why not this ad will work.

Thanks, everyone

-------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings, Warriors. I am throwing my hat in.

Let's keep it simple.

I would like to offer you the dedicated service of a talented writer. Don't you want someone on your team who is creative, intelligent, and articulate? Someone who drowns himself in research and pontificates on your topic like the academic he is? Because that's what you get with me: the skills of an academic.

Recently graduated from University with a degree in English, I go all 15 rounds with an assignment. The idea of dashing off 500 words and calling it done in under an hour confuses me, frankly. My philosophy holds that for any piece to achieve its full potential, it must go through several different rounds of brainstorming, drafting, and revision. It is this kind of writing that attracts readers and keeps them coming back for more. An understanding of SEO only gets you through the gate, and yes, I have you covered there, too. But REAL quality content involves driving that extra mile. That extra mile is what I went to school for.

If you're the right kind of client, you want this level of material for your blog or website. You're smart enough to know that good writing takes time and focus. It's a craft, not to be done cheaply or with haste. And it is a craft I perform with passion.

Why hire me?

Because I love the work. I love the process. Targeted research, for the purpose of writing an article or essay or blog post, is a hunt I'm addicted to. And writing is the Zen in my life. Hire me, and you have a writer addicted to YOUR work. Get in touch with me to see samples of my writing, and you'll see that it is a talented writer addicted to your work.

Services offered?

General ghostwriting. Articles, blog posts, e-books. Have material already, but need an educated set of eyes to go over it? I'll do that for you, too.

Introductory Offer

For the first five clients I take on (hopefully it's you Warriors), I offer a flat fee of .04 cents per word, for any type of material. After that, my rate will double.

Thank You

Hopefully it's you who will allow me my dream of writing for a living. Let's make our dreams happen together.

    First thing that stuck out to me is that you don't have a benefit oriented headline. I'm assuming that's because you didn't include your subject. Try to get creative with it too. Making people laugh is a huge plus!

    Always answer the question, what's in it for me?

    How does the user benefit from your offer?

    What is your Unique Selling Proposition? (USP)

    If I needed to outsource some articles, I'd want to know:

    Price
    Turnaround (how long will it take)
    Examples of work
    Are you reliable?
    Can you handle an enormous request


    In a nutshell, how much will it cost to get a QUALITY article from you and how long will it take to get done?

    Read Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini.

    This isn't meant to be rude, but I see people make this mistake in interviews and sales letters all the time. Most people don't give a damn about your passions. They're only concerned about themselves and if you can get the job done.

    I have an article service here as well. One thing that works for me is to have sample articles ready for your users to read. Also you can post reviews to your page as they come in from satisfied clients. Hope your business flourishes!

    I think you need to give out some free review to senior members first and collect some testimonial.

    I don't know what is your writing specialty. Can you do programming? can you do Forex writing tips?
    There are many subject about writing, so you should be able to grasp yours.
    Also include your previous experience : what is the subject? how much word? how long you complete it?
    My personal tips, tell people that you love to ask about the project.
