4 Essential Features of Online Content that Sells Quickly

Posted on May 13, 2013 by

People who buy articles and web content from online writers are always looking for particular qualities both from the writers and the product of their service. These are usually some of the indicators of client satisfaction, because many people who pay for web content usually want to find some of these things in the content they are paying for. These indicators also show the proficiency level of any writer; writers who are very proficient will normally provide good content that the buyer is satisfied with. This kind of writer also strives to adhere to any specification the buyer may have given. Some of these indicators include-:

Unique Original Content

Buyers of web content always want to pay for and receive articles and other content that are unique and original. The reason for this is very obvious. There are copyright and plagiarism laws everywhere and nobody wants to be held liable for using content that belongs to another person without permission. Another important reason why clients insist on using unique and original content is because of online search engine regulations. For instance, Google penalizes any website that uses duplicate content. It assumes that such content must have been copied from another website or the owner of the website must have used the same content repeatedly on different websites. The penalty is usually removal from search engine index or a drop in search engine rankings. Nobody will want to buy content that will bring them this kind of misery.

Well Optimized Articles SEO

Almost everybody that puts up a website looks forward to having a lot of visitors to that site. Without visitors coming to see what is on any website, the purpose for putting that whole information online may be defeated. One strategy to attract web traffic to any website is by optimizing web content to be attractive to search engines. This makes search engines like Google to index such web pages quickly and include them in the results whenever anybody runs a search engine query that concerns information on such pages. Hence, many people who pay for articles most times want them to be optimized for search engines so that they can get indexed quickly and attract organic traffic from search engines. This is a skill that every online writer that produces content for online consumption should know very well.

Information Rich Articles

Another very important thing that buyers of online articles usually desire to get is articles that are loaded with information, not rehashed and poorly written articles. People usually appreciate it a great deal when they visit a site and get more than what they are looking for. It makes them to come back again and again whenever they have such information needs. This increases visitor traffic to a website and also some other webmasters may decide to link to your website mostly if they are in the same niche area. Search engines has a way of detecting these links easily and most often, such websites are rewarded with higher or better rankings and an improved visitor traffic from the linking website.

Fast Turn Around Time

Many people who pay articles usually request that the job be delivered within a particular time frame. This is because most times these people have time frames with which they work and intend to achieve specific tasks. When articles are not delivered within the agreed time frame, it affects everything the buyer intended to use them for and most of the times such writers who do not deliver on time lose their clients. However, people who deliver their jobs in good time retain and attract more clients which tend to increase their online writing income.

Static Web Content

With new businesses coming up every day and more and more businesses going online; this has also become another type of online content that is in high demand.  Many businesses are setting up websites to showcase their products and services online. Most of these businesses are within the small and medium scale business category, and often times business owners do not have the time or the expertise to create the right kind of content that will promote what they do online. Hence, online writers are usually needed to fulfil this need. In most cases, the web pages are usually static and the website usually has typical pages like: About Us, Products and Services, Prices, Contact Us etc.

E books

E books are basically books that are written and offered in soft copies or electronic format usually in PDF formats.

Training

A couple of these training packages are available online for people to enroll.

A Profitable Market

Without a good market that is profitable, online writers will be working in vain, except in situations where they are not concerned about making money from their services. The internet has created a huge market for writers and people providing content for websites generally.

4 Essential Things You Must Do As an Online Writer to Retain Your Clients

Posted on March 18, 2013 by

Attracting and retaining good customers as an online writer is a skill that many people trading their writing skills online usually find difficult to develop. Ironically, this is one of the skills that has the potential to keep you busy at all times with jobs and of course it will always make the writer to be smiling to the bank most of the time.  It is not a very difficult thing to do or learn, but it requires a lot of discipline to keep doing it and to always maintain that standard. There are a couple of things that will help anybody who wants to retain their clientele. Some of these include -:

Be Professional

Nobody wants to do business with a mediocre or somebody who knows little or nothing about what they are claiming to be or the skills they have. This is particularly so when money is involved, people usually want to get the best value for their money. In a situation where a client feels that the online writer is a mediocre who cannot deliver the kind of quality job they want, they are likely not going to make any job offer to that person subsequently. One of the ways to enhance your client’s confidence in your professionalism is to create and have tools that make you look professional in your work. One of such tools is your website, where you can describe your services and offers, state your contact details, job conditions etc as well as any other important information about your business. You can also include testimonials of previous satisfied customers. Another important tool that one can use is signed contractual agreements. This will make you to be very professional, responsible and disciplined with your clients since you will have to work hard to meet your own aspect of the contract. A good job contract document can contain the monetary value of the job (as agreed by both the writer and the payer), job specifications, delivery timelines, and any other relevant information.

 Deliver Quality Jobs

Another very important factor that an online writer must be very keen about is the quality of their writing jobs. Many people who pay for writing jobs are usually particular about the kind of quality they want. In order to avoid conflicts and disagreements over the quality of delivered jobs; writers must learn to discuss with customers, understand, agree and document what the expectations for the delivered job are before setting to work. This usually reduces significantly disagreements between the two parties that should have been avoided. It also has the potential to make the customer satisfied with the services they received thereby increasing the likelihood that such customers will return for more work or refer people to the writer.

Keep Your Deadlines

Many people place a very high premium on their time, and any delay in their schedules can have devastating consequences. This is also true about online writing jobs. Many people who pay writers to do writing jobs for them usually have particular timelines when they want to use such content. Whenever such timelines are not respected or if the writer fails to meet such deadlines; the buyer interprets that as a sign of inefficiency especially if financial consequences are involved. Such a person may never return to that writer with more work and may discourage other people who may want to patronise the writer. It is therefore very imperative that one should work very hard to keep any agreed deadline that has been given in order to earn customer confidence and subsequently retention.

 Communicate Effectively

This is very effective skill that must be learnt and used by any online writer that wants to succeed in their business; it will help them to cultivate customer confidence and customer retention. One can use this to keep the customer updated on progress of work and also to let them know immediately whenever any challenges that may affect the agreed deadlines are encountered among several other things. There are a lot of cost effective ways in which this can be done. Some of this include -: Phone calls, emails, internet video calls (Skype), online chats, social media messages, etc. All of these are cost effective and are usually very affordable. Customers who are carried along will most likely feel satisfied and may decide to patronize such a writer again with more work.

Posted on March 18, 2013 by

Many people usually find it difficult to find online writing jobs, especially for people who are just starting out look for this kind of jobs. Some of them usually hear about these jobs and how someone can make a reasonable income online from it, but they do not really know how to go about finding it. For some people they have done this kind of jobs before, but they are not aware that there are multiple avenues where these jobs could be found. They may just be limited to the only one source they know, which often limits their potential of making more money online. Some of the places where one can find good writing jobs are described below.

Job Sites

There are a variety of job sites that are dedicated for online writing jobs. These sites are designed differently with different operation mechanisms and tools, but the processes are almost the same. People who have writing needs/jobs usually advertise such jobs on this kind of websites and writers who are interested in such jobs bid for them. When bids are submitted, the job owner gets to see how much (payment) an intending writer is willing to accept for the job and other details like when the hope to complete the job, records and evidence of previous performances on similar tasks. The job owner then selects and communicates with whoever they feel convinced that will be able to do the job satisfactorily. The writer is then given more details on the project and commissioned to start work. Some of these kinds of sites include: www.guru.com, www.elance.com, www.freelancer.com, www.freelanceswitch.com

 Referrals from Previous Clients

Another simple way to find online writing jobs all the time without so much effort is getting referrals from clients who you have worked for previously. The only thing you should be careful about in this instance is to ensure that all your clients are satisfied with the kind of services you render to them. Once your clients are satisfied, they will always come to you whenever they have writing jobs. This means that you will always have work to do most of the time, because either your clients are coming back to you with more work or they are referring people to you because of the kind of satisfaction they got using your  services. Some of the things you MUST do to ensure that you have a good percentage of customer satisfaction and retention include -: delivering premium quality content to them (worth more than or equal to the rates you charge them), keeping to agreed deadlines or even delivering before the deadlines, communicating effectively with job owners etc. All of these make job owners to have confidence in a writer’s ability to deliver quality services to them which contributes significantly to customer satisfaction and retention.

 Pitching Potential Clients

When you have gotten a few regular clients for online writing jobs, the next thing should be to advertise and convince new clients or potential clients to use your services. This should be done when you have gotten some experience with online writing. This is something that should be done carefully, because when you meet a new client or potential client you have a very short time to impress them; and if you do not succeed in getting them to subscribe to your services you would have lost all the effort and resources used in getting that lead. Besides, ensuring that your new clients are rendered good quality services, one must think of innovative ways of getting them to come back maybe using incentives like discounts etc.

Having Your Own Site

One thing that makes finding online writing jobs a lot easier is having your own website or blog. This is usually an indication of how professional you are in your business. It gives you an identity and distinguishes a serious freelance writer or professional from the rest of the people writing online for pennies. People are more confident to do business with a writer who has a website than one who does not. Creating a website or blog is not difficult, you can learn how to you can get a befitting website or blog here.
