Why Should I Hire a Writer?

The decision to hire a writer does not come easily to some.  It can seem like a waste of money to hire someone to do something that you could do yourself for free.  And even though this concept seems to be better accepted when it comes to hiring a cleaning service, landscaper, or accountant, folks still seem to balk at the idea of hiring a wordsmith.

I completely understand the hesitation.  There is the obvious issue of dollars and sense.  It would save you money to do your own writing.  However, would it make the most sense?

True, I might not know everything you know about your business, but I know an awful lot about SEO content writing.  From a money perspective that means I know more about how to make you money with words than you do.  I know how to help current and potential clients find you online.  And if you can't be found online in today's Web based world, your business is less likely to beat out your top-search-engine-page-listed competitor.

And as for knowing your business, the fact is I only need to know the basics.  It's your job to understand your business, it's my job to advertise your business.  What I know is advertising language.  Using nothing more than words, I know how to create an interest and need in someone who sees your website.  An interest and need that can only be satisfied by calling you NOW! to find out how only you can fulfill that need for them.  It's almost magical what words, when arranged "just so",  can inspire a person to do.

Let's think about what makes it easier for someone to hire a landscaper than a writer.  For most people hiring a landscaper means that ultimately you will be saving time.  You don't have enough hours in the week to fit all that life demands of you in today's world.  Having someone take over the responsibility of keeping your lawn looking good means one less thing you have to worry about, right?  Well, you'll have the same satisfaction when it comes to hiring a writer.

If lack of time is keeping you from taking advantage of any of the many new Internet Marketing opportunities available to your business, then you really need to look into hiring a writer.  Writing for the Web is one of the largest demands in the freelance writing world today.  The demand is there because most business owners realize that without a strong online presence, your business has little chance of really growing.  And when it comes to anything online, words are definitely integral to the success of your Internet Marketing campaigns.

Sure you can establish and update your business's Facebook page on your own -- but do you have the time in your work day?  Absolutely you can write an article or two every week for your blog -- but does it mean sacrificing the ability to chaperone that next school event?

A writer makes his or her living by working with words all of the time.  That makes it easier by the very nature of the work for a writer to keep up with your writing needs than it does for you.  Stopping to switch gears from business owner to writer can be overwhelming and frustrating.  By letting the professional writer take over for your business writing needs, you free yourself to devote more time to growing and maintaing your client base.

So to answer the question: Why should you hire a writer?  Because when it comes right down to it, hiring a writer will make you money and save you time.
