Also browse the PROVIDE JV Related Services. Copywriters are listed there too.
Questions to answer first though:
- what's the industry/vertical? Unless you don't want to make this public to protect your niche, you should mention it.
- if your offer is already live, provide a link so a copywriter can skim the offer and better guage how complex the topic is and how unique the story can be (again, unless you have a reason to keep it secret, please mention it)
- what's your budget? Like anything else... you pay for a premium name, chances are you'll end up with a very unique and compelling salescopy (not necessarily but in most cases) and your potential affiliates will be more comfortable mailing if it's a respected name... BUT you're paying top dollar. OR you can find a talented up-and-comer who writes fantastic copy but doesn't have the name branding and client base in place yet... so you can get great work for relatively very cheap.
The budget for an established copywriter starts in the $8k range and can run you $30,000 for a really world class writer.
I have 2 copywriters who do all my work these days. For the first 4+ years I wrote my own copy, it converted well, was recognized in copywriting forums, I sold copywriting as a service but these days I no longer offer copywriting and, in fact, I don't even do it for my pages. But I have 2 talented writers. I trust them both and they each produce GREAT work.
I don't have any work for them until likely mid January. So get in touch if you'd like an introduction but I'll need the answers to the above questions first.
Also are you only looking for 1 salesletter? Or squeeze copy, direct response ads, affiliate toolbox emails, AR emails etc?
Finally... have you considered having a hybrid page? Sales video + sales text. It's the same copy, except one gets read and recorded as video, but you still have text on the page.
P.S. I'm about to spend 3-months with a seriously heavy hitter copywriter (charges $27,000 per letter and has endorsements from legends such as the "4 billion dollar man" Ted Nicholas). So I'm going to be mecca of world class direct response copywriting lol.
Anyways... get in touch on skype (robtoth) or email thegenie @ robtoth.com (remove the spaces).
Regardless... best wishes with the new offer.
OH!! and also mention the timeline. I see it's not for a launch and your offer is already live, but when do you need it by.
These are all useful questions for a prospective copywriter to be able to help you. Cheers!
