How To Market To India for Content Writing/Proofreading Services?

Actually I want to offer services to India. And yes (Patrick)I know they undercut the prices.
I don't do what I do for the money. Although I need it to live, I see that there is plenty of opportunity in emerging markets.

I know that most in the US would not do this, but throughout history we all know that the most successful people in the world did virtually the opposite of what everyone else was doing.

I know the prices I set will have to be in line with their standard of living, but I love what i do, so as long as you're doing what you love, it's not really work.

If anyone knows a few sites, etc. that may point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

I can do a Google search, but I just wanted to tap in here to see if anyone else had any insight.

Maybe even someone from India has some insight.

I don't know where you should advertise, but I wanted to chime in nonetheless. I think that you would have a hard time competing with the prices of Indian content writers. However, I think that there is a possibility to market a service for 'Americanizing' pre-written content.

The smartest and hardest working people I know are Indians (I've interned there twice, my girlfriend is Indian, and I'm heading back for a fourth trip in July). However, the phrasing of Indian-English is different to Western English. For example, it features words that have not been used in the West for a long time such as "thrice" and particular novel phrase structures that you wouldn't find in the West.

The Indian content writers who have communicated with me (a small number) exhibit writing that from my Western perspective is overly dramatized, too formal, and is generally not easy to read in that sense.

Most people I know from India speak 3 languages, which I commend. But there is a bit of a gap between their vocabulary and ours - there might be value in this gap.

I think that Indian companies that are marketing to the Western World would benefit from someone checking that their content is easily digestible by their audience.

Perhaps you meant to say Indian 'Internet Marketers'? IMO, this generalization could be applied to most struggling IMers looking for content, not specifically Indians. In my experience, Indian people are extremely generous. You will find this out if you travel there. You probably will be invited over for dinner by a complete stranger.

Indians work their asses off and know the value of money. They are organized, ambitious, hard working, determined and have a fantastic work ethic. We should consider ourselves lucky that countries such as the US pay a minimum wage that is greater than a commercial lawyer's salary in India.
