  1. 1. http://www.instituteofoutsourcing.com Hiring the Right Website Content Writers Web content writing is essential for people who use websites to advertise and improve their business. This is an important task that could turn readers to potential customers of that website. Having website content writers who can write about you and what you do can be an edge in todays competitive world. By browsing your site, people can get to know more about you, your qualifications and how you deal with people. Follow these tips in hiring your own writer: a. Find someone who knows about you or your job. A person who knows who you are can easily write about you and what you do. Since he knows your background, advertising you will seem natural and ordinary. If you cannot find a friend who can do that for you, hire someone in line with your field. If your business is selling computers, hire someone who has knowledge in the information technology industry. This is very crucial in hiring online writers, especially freelancers. These professionals usually write for many companies and websites, but not all of them know what you do. If you already hired a writer and found out he has no experience in your business venture, tell him stories about it. Share what its like. Make him feel your emotions. b. Look over the qualifications.
  2. 2. The writer doesnt need to be a graduate of journalism, but it is a good point if he is. Journalists can easily write articles and research for facts. They can easily do marketing if you require them to. That is their field. However, not all journalists know about you and your job. Would you really think of hiring a journalist when your business is about appliances and he has no knowledge about it? Certainly not! Also hire someone who rarely (and if possible doesnt) make grammatical errors. You wouldnt want readers to lose their interest in your company just because of typographical errors. Make sure the writer knows what to write and how to write it. c. Ask him to write a sample article. Always ask the applicant to write a sample article about your work. That way, you can assess his knowledge in your company, his writing skills and how he organizes and puts his ideas into paper. Do this as soon as he applies. Never ask him to write something at home and pass it to you instead. That could be done by someone or just copied from somewhere else. Make sure his write ups are originally created by him and are not plagiarized. Else, you and your company could suffer the consequences. d. Choose the person who can give quality writing in exchange for his salary. Do not just hire someone because you can afford his salary offer. Hire someone whose talent and skills can compensate for your offered salary. If you cant find someone in your place to do that for you, it is time to consider a business process outsourcing company.
  3. 3. A company which offers great business process outsourcing services can provide website content writers from outside the country. These writers can offer quality and valuable articles, but you can easily afford their fees.
