Copywriter has a favor to ask: please answer this one question

11 replies
Hey fellow warriors.

I'm putting the final touches on a new copywriting program
and wanted to get some feedback from internet marketers and
members here.

If you've hired a copywriter, or you're going to hire
a copywriter... what is your #1 criteria?

What's the single most important thing you need to read
on a copywriter's sales page in order to hire that person.

Is it budget? results, experience?

If you could take a few minutes to give me your thoughts,
it would be GREATLY appreciated and I'll also PM you a copy
of the program when it's done!

thanks in advance!

    Experience and samples over all.

    I've worked with expensive copywriters who've given me mediocre results and cheaper writers who have given me great results and vice versa.

    Content is king, regardless of price.

    Content is KING, you need to have a copywriter who understands your marketing and what your looking for............so l would focus on content, if like your stuff l will refer you to others who need your service....

    Solid proof that they've helped clients get results through
    their copywriting skills (in a similar market).

    If they don't know they need to prove their track record
    of their results beyond question, they're not a sufficiently
    experienced copywriter.

    Dedicated to mutual success,

    Shaun

      Um... no, i don't want to ask mostly other copywriters. I want to ask internet marketers and other warrior members who use/hire copywriters what they look for.

        Sales results. Nothing else matters. Sales results from clients.

          I want to see results.

          I don't care how much experience the person has.

          I don't care who they were trained by.

          I don't care how much time they put into their work.

          I don't care how much they study the market.

          I don't care whether the product is 2 words on a page or War and Peace.

          I want to see results. That's all that matters with copy writing. It either converts or it doesn't.

    1. Can they give me spec articles on topics of my choice so I can spin them and then reject all the writers who contacted me
    2. Can they deliver US quality language for a couple of pesos.
    3. Can they revise for hours and hours until it meets my high 2 pesos standard and get my gold star.

    ; )

    Ok, serious answer from a writer's perspective:

    Good, Fast or Cheap. Choose any two.

    Do your copywriting skills deliver results? Do your writing abilities convince people to purchase my product? How much experience do you have writing sales pages in my niche? Do you understand my target demographic well enough to relate in your writing?
