5 Things To Avoid When Hiring a Professional Blogger
If you own multiple blogs or have a need for fresh content, hiring a professional blogger is the best way to keep up with this demand. Not only is fresh, unique content needed, but it is essential to get any type of online visibility with the search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.). The more quality content a website has, the more readers it will have. Having a large following will establish a webmaster as a guru. When hiring a writer or blogger, there are a couple of things to avoid in order to not get burned:
“I can write 100 articles per day”- Although it is good to hire a blogger who can produce large volumes of articles or blog posts, submitting to many articles can cause the writer to become fatigue. Writers need time to research in order to create a well-written article piece. If the blogger is making these claims, they could also be using a software which spins words around in an article. Google has already caught on to this scam and any spinned article that is published in the search engines will be ‘sand-boxed’ or pushed low in the rankings. Another approach bloggers or writers take when saying they can produce a high volume of articles in one day is; they could be using a third party source which hire writers form overseas. A lot of the times, these writers produce content that is full of grammar and spelling mistakes.
“I will write 20 articles for $1 each”- As mentioned before, claiming to produce such high volumes of articles at low prices is another red flag. No decent writer is going to accept such low payment for their hard work. It takes time to come up with article topics and research material. If you care anything about your readers, do not fall for the $1/per article scam.
“I will get you thousands of visitors to your website by using certain keywords”- Although SEO writing does have a lot of benefits and can get your website ranked pretty high in the SERPS, it really is a 50/50 situation. There is really no formula to use when trying to rank high for a certain keyword in the search engines. Sometimes you can rank high one day, and the next, you can barely get one visitor to your webpage. Yes, a professional blogger can offer keyword-optimized articles, but they cannot promise a bucket-load of traffic for any piece of content they produce.
“I have a lot of experience, but I can’t tell you who’s on my client list”- One of the reasons many writers get into the content industry is because there is not a lot of qualifications to get started. You don’t need an expensive college degree or years of experience to create a good article or blog posts, however, most freelance bloggers for hire should be able to produce writing samples or clips of their published work. There are a ton of places you can publish articles for free, such as article directories, hub sites, and much more. There should be no excuse for not showing writing samples.
“I know a ton of secrets for getting more website visitors to your website”- There is no secret for increasing the number of visitors you get to your website. In fact, the only thing you can do is to keep producing unique article topics which cater to a certain niche. Readers are interested in fun and unique content that they can’t find anywhere else on the Internet.
When you are looking for a good blog writer, it is important to follow this list in things to avoid. There are some clients out there who are happy with their freelance writers or bloggers for hire; to make sure you are one of these happy clients, examine their writing clips and take your time when choosing a good blogger.
