Re: Which of these "headlines" is more compelling?

I agree with ^^^^^.
"Get paid to shop" says exactly what your service is, offers an obvious benefit and is concrete.

Re: What to write for Fashio Ecommerce Description?

You might want to hire a copywriter to do those descriptions. (I take it most of your jewelry is targeted toward women.) Is it costume jewelry, fine jewelry, or what?

Re: Where to hire writers?

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,...

Re: No MLM Thank You!

There are many legit MLM companies. I was with one for a couple years. They had a great training program, their products were good (but overpriced) and there were people making money at it. Some of...

Re: Help me with my offline business. How many websites, social media, etc should i have?

I would use one website and social media(s). You're branding yourself as a festival planner -- it doesn't matter what kind of festival it is. The fact that you do a lot of them, even though they...

Re: Industries/Companies looking for Copywriters

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.

Re: Sources for copywriters and experienced figures particular niche.

It's the job of a freelancer to do research on your topic. (And yes, you have to pay for that!)

Re: New website - copy critique please!

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.
