How To Play The Writing Articles Game
By: Dani Choi

Professional copywriters know how tough the market is these days. It's really not about the lack of jobs. Rather, it's about the dirt cheap rates that companies and individual website owners are more than willing to give to freelance copywriters.

Not that there's anything wrong with it. If you can get a fancy branded bag for just $1 why not buy it, right? But writing it's a different ball game where copywriting is concerned.

* Think Of Ego

If I were to sum up writers and their writing, I can put it this way: WRITER+ WRITING= EGO. What this means is that writers are egoistic about their craft. Good writers like to do a good job because it does reflect on them as a professional and, more importantly, as a person. Unlike starving artists, however, writers know the value of their output.

The artistic commodity that is your article can bring in a lot to your sales funnel. You don't want your writers to write less than their best by undervaluing their writing output.

Writers can, and do, change employers as often as website owners and internet companies place ads for "good, reliable writers".

After all is said about differences in economic status, writers in Asian countries - in outsourcing hubs - know when they are being paid too low. A word of caution: they can take it personally too. Some writers are not above bashing "cheap" employers in ad posts.

* The $1 Rip-Offs

Going back to $1 Chanel bag, what are the chances that you're going to get a good deal from it? There's a great chance that what you're actually getting is a knock-off version or a stolen which doesn't make it a great deal at all.

It's the same with articles. Do NOT ever expect a $1 500-word article to be a masterpiece. Most likely, what you will get from a $1 500-word article is a rewritten version of an existing article that has only gone through an MS Word spell check. There is nothing inherently wrong with spell check (it's especially handy for spotting wrong spellings), but it really doesn't give you an idea on how to revise an article to make it better.

* Everything Can Be Negotiated

Just like everything else, the price for writing services can be negotiated. You can simply ask your writer to write a batch of articles at his standard rate and then ask for a discount. Leverage on repeat jobs for your writer. Give an incentive to your writer and be creative about it.

One thing about dealing with writers is that respect goes a long way.
