Don't hire anyone that charges per word. Seriously. Most legit writers won't even go there. You want quality, not necessarily quantity -- whether that's 50 words or 500. So don't pay per word,...

ElSam, great idea, how you find agents that pay well? Most agents don't make a ton of money and probably wouldn't be willing to pay copywriter fees. I guess you have to find the $1million listers.

I only glanced at it but my first thought was that you need to be more specific on what "healing" is. It's too broad of a term. Are you talking about chakras, mindfulness, what? You lost me there.
