How my content writing service can generate new leads for you

Why would you hire a content writing service? You need content for your website or blog to generate more leads, right? I mean, nobody wants content just because somebody is there to provide it to you. You need to solve a specific purpose, and for every business, that purpose is, generating more business through leads and direct sales.

My content writing service can help you increase your direct sales as well as generate new leads for your business. This page is specifically dedicated to the topic of how I can help you generate more leads.

What are leads?

In conventional advertising and marketing, leads are a list of people who have shown some interest in your business. Your sales rep probably called up a prospect and that prospect, instead of showing total disinterest, asked to be called again, or asked for more information. This is a person who is ready for more talks and carries a greater chance of becoming your paid customer or client. He or she is your lead.

Lead generation from your website

You can get new leads from your website in multiple manners:

  • A person comes to your website and subscribes to your regular updates by submitting his or her e-mail ID
  • A person visits your blog and subscribes to your RSS feed to get fresh content from you
  • A visitor uses your contact form and asks for more information
  • A visitor uses a phone number listed on your website to call you and show interest in your business
  • A visitor starts following you on LinkedIn, Google Plus, Twitter or Facebook

If you notice, all these actions are performed by the visitor himself or herself. What you have done is, give him or her a reason to visit your website and stick around. You are not misleading. You are just providing the information he or she needs to make up his or her mind. He or she is interested in keeping touch with you, or engage you with further dialogue. He or she is a lead from your website.

How my content writing service helps you get more leads

To bring people to your website you need quality content. These people will come from multiple sources including search engines, from your links appearing on other websites and blogs, and from social media and social networking websites. If you have been following my blog closely, you already know that to achieve all the above, you need fresh content on a regular basis. Let us quickly recap.

A major chunk of your visitors will be coming from search engines. The search engines are constantly looking for fresh, high-quality content. Since they are always looking for fresh, updated content, rankings go up and down accordingly. It’s like, you publish a great blog post and that blog post ranks quite high on Google. Then somebody else comes up with equally, or even greater blog post and then this blog post begins to rank higher compared to your link. The more people create new content, the lower your link begins to feature and eventually it moves to the second or the third page, where very few people go. In order to remain in the fray, you constantly need new content.

The more content you have, the more incoming links your website and blog acquire. This is because, the more subjects you cover in your niche, the more reasons people have to link to you.

Suppose I’m looking for a blog post covering the overwhelming impact of content writing on SEO. As a professional content writing service you may have content on many content writing topics, but not something specifically for this. But another website has covered this topic and I link to them. What happens? Despite being an excellent source for various content writing topics, you’ve lost a good link building opportunity.

The same goes for your social media and social networking profiles. I’m not saying you have to cover every possible social networking platform, but wherever you create your presence, you need to keep it buzzing with new content.

Basically, you need new, valuable content for every platform you decide to focus on, whether it’s your own website or blog, or anotherr website. It’s your content that brings people to your website, directly or indirectly, and encourages them to either contact you, or give you their contact details so that you can contact them later on. This can only be achieved by content that inspires trust. My content writing service can provide you such content.

Through strategic content creation I can help you instill confidence among your prospective customers and clients. My content writing service can help you increase targeted search engine traffic so that right people come to your website — people who really appreciate what you have to say.

In order to generate new leads your website requires content that makes both search engine as well as human visitors happy. But why hire a content writing service for that?

Aside from quality, the biggest challenge businesses face while implementing their content strategy is continuity. To an extent, at least in the beginning, you yourself can maintain a certain level of quality, but eventually other business responsibilities take precedence and your content marketing begins to get neglected.

This is where a dedicated content writing service can help you. The biggest advantage of working with me is that my entire content writing effort will be targeted towards your prospective customers and clients rather than simply rambling on in order to increase your content density. I love to interact with the written word and this is what people want. With a perfect blend of engagement, information and entertainment, I can keep your prospective customers and clients coming back to you and consequently, help you capture leads through different entry points to your website.

About Me [Amrit Hallan]

Amrit Hallan

What I currently do

Primary focus of my content writing services

Through my content writing services I help businesses and individuals sell more, whether they want to sell products, services or ideas. Yes, I am a content writer, but I consider writing just a tool. My primary focus is providing a value, a service that goes beyond simple content writing. When you work as a professional content writer and people hire you for your content writing services it goes without saying that you should know how to write well, convincingly and compellingly – that goes without saying. What really counts is, how much you contribute towards the growth of your client’s business. This is what I do. Through my content writing I help my clients

  • Engage their audience meaningfully
  • Educate and inform their prospective customers and clients
  • Always remain in front of their prospective customers and clients by publishing high-quality content
  • Choose the right platform for content publishing and promotion
  • Improve search engine rankings by increasing focus and using the right language
  • Look at the problems and issues from the perspective of their own customers and clients
  • Formulate a long-term content publishing and content marketing strategy in order to build a formidable platform

All this, I try to achieve by empathizing with the prospective customers and clients of my clients.

I also create content for social media marketing.

Content writing services for inbound marketing

Through inbound marketing you attract people to your website by providing engaging and helpful content rather than bombarding them with advertising material that puts them off in more than 99% of cases. People want to be engaged when it is convenient to them, when they are feeling more receptive and when they actually want to hear from you. Through my content writing services I can help you distribute your content throughout all major channels so that it is easier for people to find you and come to you when they need to contact you.

My content writing methodology

As a content writer whose sole purpose is to help you make an impact and eventually, grow your business, when I start working with you, I try to know your business as much as possible. What does your business stand for? What do you really offer in terms of values and benefits? Why would your customers or clients do business with you rather than with someone else? Why in the first place customers or clients would be looking for your product or service? What are all the possible search terms they may use if they need to look for your products or services on Google or any other major search engine?

Whether you’re looking for a content writer for a B2B business or a B2C business, you need to articulate yourself in the language your target audience uses. This not only, automatically, makes you sound more convincing, it also improves your search engine rankings organically because you are using the phrases and expressions they may use on search engines.

As much as I can manage, I like to write in a conversational style. Lots of jargons and technical gobbledygook induce lack of interest.

My background

I graduated from college in math. After completing my two-year postgrad diploma in computer applications maintenance for half a year I worked as a C programmer (during the mid-90s application development boom). Always itching to chart my own path I started my own consulting business (software development and training) and it was during these times I created lots of educational material for computer training centers that were popping up like mushrooms in a rainy season. That was a great experience in writing content that didn’t just educate but also entertained and engaged. Then came the Internet.

I first stumbled into web designing, and then PHP programming (due to my C/C programming background) and eventually in 2004, since I couldn’t resist writing, I started my content writing business. Since then I have been doing this. I haven’t kept a count – I should have, actually – but by now I must have written content for more than 1000 clients from different countries (I don’t even know whether I am exaggerating or understating).

What makes me qualified to work with you?

Well, how should I put this. I think my basic strength is that I’m not just a content writer in the conventional sense. Yes, I can easily use writing as a communication tool. I express well and I am totally at ease with my craft. But more than that I understand the Internet. I’m totally in tune with contemporary technology. Social media and social networking are something I totally relate to and sometimes help my clients leverage their potential. Above all, when I write for you, I don’t actually write for you, I write for your audience, and this is the primary reason why most of my clients choose to work with me.

incingly and compellingly – that goes without saying. What really counts is, how much you contribute towards the growth of your client’s business. This is what I do. Through my content writing I help my clients

  • Always remain in front of their prospective customers and clients by publishing high-quality content

Why you should hire me as your content writer

To be frank there are some really great content writers on the Internet who are doing a marvelous job of helping their clients sell more and grow their businesses. So the intention behind this page is not to convince you into dumping your present content writer and working with me. If you are happy with your present content writer, nothing like it, please stick to him or her.

The home page of this website gives you a fair idea of what I have been up to (in a good sense of course) but this particular page serves as a 1-1 communication. Really, why should you hire me as your content writer? What do you need that I can provide? What is your problem that I can solve?

It doesn’t really matter for how long I have been providing professional content writing services (well, if you insist, since 2004). It also doesn’t matter for how many clients I have worked so far. What really matters is, how many of my clients have actually benefited from my services. This, is the number that tells whether I have been successful or not. This is something that I understand. Numbers don’t matter. The value that I deliver does.

What helps me deliver that value through my content writing services?

My ability to understand your problem

When, or if, you approach me, that is, you decide to work with me, you don’t merely need content for your website. There is something lacking in your website and you want to eliminate that discrepancy. You know that it is your content. Somehow it is not able to convince your customers and clients into doing business with you. Maybe it’s not providing enough information. Maybe it is providing too much information, or too little. Maybe it is very distracting. Maybe it is not convincing enough. Maybe it does not use the language your customers and clients are comfortable with. Maybe your content writer totally missed the central message.

As a result, you are losing valuable sales. Just imagine how much new business you could have gained. Just imagine how your business could have grown. All your ambitions and plans are going down the drain just because the content that is supposed to bring in business isn’t doing its job.

So am I going to write content that dreams are made of? Sincerely speaking, I cannot make that claim. But what I can claim is, my content will speak the language of your customers and clients. It will understand their pain points and provide solutions accordingly. It will make them feel as if you are one of them and not just a business minded person simply trying to profit from their necessity.

This is not as miraculous as it sounds. It just needs some understanding and a desire to help people (and make money along the way). Through my content I want to improve your business. So it is not about the number of words or the number of pages. It is about the end result. The moment you start gauging the value of a service in terms of words and pages, these numbers become important to you, not your business.

I bring in a multipronged approach

I write as a writer, as a person who knows the Internet quite well, as a person who is totally comfortable with contemporary technology and how it is changing the social fabric of the world in general and the world of business in particular, and as a former web developer.

So it enables me to look at the problem from multiple angles. If you tell me, look, Amrit, my content is not doing business for me, I will understand your problem from your perspective, from your customers’ perspective, and then bridge the gap between both the understandings. Please keep in mind that your prospective customers are not bothered about how great your product or service is. They have a pressing need and they’re looking for a solution. So in order to make your content convincing and trustworthy I normally follow the following path of textual communication:

  • Highlight the problem currently being faced by your visitors (that’s why they are on your website if they haven’t arrived by mistake)
  • Inform them that their problem is about to be solved
  • Tell them what you have got that can solve their problem
  • How convincing and reliable your solution is
  • How people are currently benefiting from your solution
  • How easy it is to avail your solution
  • What they are missing if they are not buying your product or service

In between I use call-to-action to prompt them to do what you want them to do (buy from you, subscribe to your updates, or contact you).

As you can see, my primary aim is to make your content customer-centric. Unless yours is a highly known and reputed brand (Apple, for instance), more than the name, people are concerned about what they are actually getting. My content writing is centered around that mentality.

I focus on the message, not the language

It’s not your language that does the business for you, but your ability to communicate your message convincingly. I’m not saying language is not important and you should throw the grammar rules out the window (because this reeks of disrespect and carelessness), but your content should be written in a language your target audience understands, not the way you speak among your own colleagues.

I can write content both for humans and search engines

Every website needs search engine traffic and your content plays a major role in increasing your search engine rankings. The problem with most content writers is that they can either write for search engines (senseless, keyword-intensive content) or for humans — they normally fail to strike a balance. Personally, I don’t even believe in “striking a balance”. If you purely focus on the end-user, you automatically create search engine friendly content. Think it this way – you are writing about what your customers and clients are looking for, you are using the same phrases and expressions used by your customers and clients and you are providing answers to their most pressing questions. So why shouldn’t you get good search engine rankings unless you face indomitable competition? Why needlessly use “tricks”?

I understand content marketing

In order to write content for business websites one needs to understand the importance of content marketing. Simply being able to write content does not mean that your content writer understands the importance of marketing that content. Many content marketing experts are deeming 2013 as the year of content marketing as major brands reduce their conventional marketing and advertising budgets and put that money in content marketing. The beauty of content marketing is that even a one-man business can compete with a multinational enterprise.

These are some basic attributes of my content writing service that can actually grow your customer base and consequently, build your business. While writing content for my clients, my sole purpose is to help them prominently bring forward their most compelling positive points. Some clients prefer the storytelling technique, and some stick to the conventional marketing pitch. Both can work in different scenarios. When I write content for you, I care for your prospective customers and clients so that they are convinced into doing business with you.

Content Writing Services For Websites

Whether from search engines, or social media and social networking websites, or directly, your prospective customers and clients come to your website not just looking for the right information, but the information that can convince them. Credible content writing services can give you an edge your website has always needed: written words that become your evangelists.

Your website needs content that can make an impact. You make an impact by being trustworthy and reliable and on the Internet only your content can help you achieve that. It is the ultimate communication tool that transforms vague interest into favorable action and visitors into customers and clients. No beating around the bush – engaging and relevant content that educates and informs your prospects, empowers them, and ultimately, converts them. Conversion is the ultimate goal of your website content.

Writing content for your visitors

As an experienced content writer (again, I am Amrit) I know that the true value of your content lies in its performance. Big words don’t matter. Esoteric expressions don’t count much. SEO content that fetches you “tons of traffic” holds no meaning. What matters is how many people actually do business with you. When I’m writing content for you, I write it keeping that in mind. I don’t aim to impress you. I want to make your visitors, your readers, trust you. So I write in their language. I constantly keep their aspirations and expectations in mind while creating content for your website.

Writing content for SEO

As I have already mentioned above, I am more concerned about improving your conversion rate rather than anything else. Having said that, I know search engine traffic matters and I also know that your rankings depend on your content. I don’t do keyword stuffing. I definitely incorporate your primary and secondary keywords but it is done in such a manner that they become a natural part of your overall content – and that is what search engines are looking for.

Content writing services for your every need

You can hire me for the following content writing requirements:

  • Business webpages (homepage, services, company profile, about us, product descriptions, terms and services, etc.)
  • Blogging
  • Email marketing campaigns
  • Article marketing
  • Guest blogging
  • Marketing collateral (brochures, flyers, etc.)
  • Case studies and white papers
  • Service and product documentation

Business realms, professions and industries I have so far provided content writing services for

  • Web design and development
  • Internet marketing and SEO
  • Social media marketing
  • E-commerce websites
  • Enterprise level solutions such as CRM and ERP
  • Web hosting companies
  • Telecommunications
  • Cloud-based services

  • Computer and PC maintenance
  • Alternative energy companies and blogs
  • Hotels and hospitality industry
  • Real estate agencies
  • Legal firms and attorneys
  • Investigative and surveillance agencies
  • Event management companies
  • Hospital and medical equipment

These are but a few categories I can recall. Since I have been providing professional content writing services for websites since 2004, I have practically written for every major business and industry.

Do I have a specialty? Well, yes and no. Since I have been writing content for such a long time I can easily write on different topics, but if you really want to know my specialty, I have extensively written for web design and development companies, email marketing, software development, social media marketing, Internet marketing and SEO. So you can say that I am more comfortable writing for these fields. But again, as you can see the list above, my writing abilities are not restricted to IT-related businesses.

Want to know more? Then use my contact form and send me a message and I will promptly get back to you with all the information you need.

Linkbait content writing services

If you’re wondering what is linkbait content, I have explained on this page: What is linkbaiting.

With that out of the way, if you need your blog posts and articles to go viral and spread to the farthest corners of the Internet, you need linkbait content. It’s articles and blog posts specifically created to cater to people who don’t just read interesting stuff but also like to share it and write about it. It might be a funny story, an anecdote, a long list of tools and tips – something that is highly useful, highly entertaining or highly relevant.

It is very difficult to create linkbait content?

It is not difficult to create linkbait content, but yes, it takes time. It is not something that you can create in 30 minutes. Let us say, you want to create a blog post titled “30 Most Influential Blog Posts on Content Writing”. Now either you already must be gathering these links over a long period of time, or you will need to do lots of research and even interact with many people because everybody defines “influential” in his or her own way.

How do you do targeting for linkbait content?

While creating linkbait content you need to keep in mind that you cannot please everybody. So this type of content has to be highly focused because the more targeted it is, the better chances it has of becoming linkbait.

The best way to target is, totally understand what your audience is looking for, why it looks for it, and what purpose the linkbait content is going to solve. Remember that people are not going to link to your content for doing social work – it must add value to their own blog post or article.

Does linkbait content always go popular?

There is no scientific proof. Sometimes even silly stuff goes viral and gets written about and promoted on various social networking websites while world-changing ideas wallow in the mud of oblivion. It depends on where it is coming from. For instance, if Charlie Sheen writes a blog post on how he was abducted by the aliens and then brought back he will get lots of coverage, but if you and I write a blog post on the same topic, we might not get that much attention unless we either spend lots of money promoting the blog post or spend lots of time highlighting it on various forums.

Having said that, there is a solid reason why businesses get linkbait content for their websites. Well-written and information-packed content normally gets promoted provided you are careful about what channels you are using to promote it and what time is the most apt for the activity.

Where do I fit in for your linkbait content writing need?

Obviously, the writing part comes from me, and the researching part if needed. Either you can give me all the information you want to include in your article or blog post or I can dig it out from various resources. I can straightaway deliver you the document and then leave it up to you how you want to promote it, or if you want I can help you figure it out.

How linkbait content goes popular

Although I mentioned above that there is no direct formula for making your linkbait content go viral, there are a few things you can do in order to give it your best shot:

  • Choose your topic carefully: In order to choose your topic you have to know your audience. “How to enjoy smelling your cat’s poo” might be a highly engaging topic for a website like The Oatmeal but if most of your audience constitutes of people who enjoy having meals at elite restaurants, they might not relate to the topic and appreciate it.
  • Mind your style: It’s very important what style you follow when creating your linkbait content. You have to keep your audience in mind. Tech savvy people enjoyed reading geeky language. People with literary inclinations like their text refined and well proofread. Teens and young adults use different language. The point is, be mindful of your audience before adopting the right writing style for your linkbait content. Unless you are an excellent writer don’t try to “pretend” a style. It shows through.
  • Promote at the right places: Simply publishing your article or blog post on your website is not going to get you much attention unless you are a celebrity in your niche. You will need to promote your link on various social bookmarking and social networking websites. There too, the popularity of your content depends on who sees it and who promotes it. Sometimes a single person promoting your link can get you more attention than 100 people doing it. This process is not something that can happen within a day or so, it takes consistent networking in order to reach at a state when influential people promote your content.

So you have seen that writing linkbait content is just one aspect of the entire exercise. You need to strategically promote your content in order to make it go viral.

You must provide all possible information to your content writer

Hiring a content writer doesn’t mean he or she is going to come up with everything you need to communicate on behalf of your business. Being a unique business you need a unique voice and this voice can only manifest if you provide sufficient information to the content writer before he or she proceeds with some effective content writing work.

Many business owners or decision-makers leave it up to the content writer to come up with the best content for their websites. Sometimes it works but mostly it doesn’t. A content writer has to be extremely experienced if he or she can come up with the right kind of information on his or her own. For instance, if you have hired me as a content writer and you are providing software development services and I need to write about your website how am I supposed to know what sort of software you provide, what the software applications can achieve and what all platforms you work on? Me being me I can dig out some information, but most content writers will turn up with superficial content or very badly prepared copy. And then you will blame the content writer for doing shoddy work. How do you expect quality work if you are not providing enough information to the content writer?

You and the content writer need to work together

The content writer you have hired may be highly talented but he or she may not be aware of what sort of questions he or she should ask you, and being a business owner it’s up to you to provide that information. Before leaving the content writer to his or her own devices you must provide the following information to him or her:

  • A well-defined site map
  • Titles of all the pages you want content for
  • Comprehensive descriptions of products and services you provide
  • A list of advantages of doing business with you
  • Profile of your target market
  • Your objective of getting the content written
  • Company-specific information

These bits of information will help him or her understand your requirement properly and deliver you exactly what you are looking for.

An experienced content writer on the other hand asks all these questions before he or she begins to do your work. For instance, I have a template that I normally send to my clients and request them to fill it up before I can proceed with my work. This gives me all the information that I may require while working on a particular project.

The basic idea is, it is not solely the content writer’s responsibility to create better content for you just because you’re paying him or her. No matter how well he or she writes he or she is not a magician and certainly not a plagiarist. If you don’t want him or her to copy/paste information from different “sources” provide all the information you can. Whenever copying/pasting takes place it begins with the content writer going through various websites in order to obtain the right information. It is the wrong advice that the content writer should visit competitors’ websites and obtained all the information needed.

Credible Content Writing Services FAQs

On this page I have tried to answer all the questions on content writing and content marketing services available at “Credible Content Writing Services”. I work as an individual and it rarely happens these days that I outsource my work. All the work is done by me, so whether it is great or it sucks, I’m the one solely responsible.

Note: When I use “I” or “we” in the highlighted questions covered on this FAQs page, I mean you, the client (Not the ensuing paragraphs, where “I” actually means yours truly).

Who writes content on Credible Content Writing Services?

As mentioned in the first para, I do. My main focus these days is providing quality and value as a professional content writer and sometimes it becomes difficult to monitor these aspects when you are getting the work done from other content writers. I used to outsource, but am no longer doing it.

Is the content that you write totally unique and original?

To my best knowledge, it is. No self-respecting writer wants to plagiarize because then you are appreciating another writer’s work and undermining yours. I am running a full-fledged business of providing content writing and content marketing services and I have a comprehensive presence not just on my own website and blog but also on other websites. Just to save a couple of hours I won’t sully my reputation. Besides, I am happy the way I charge for my services so that I can fully concentrate on providing unique and original content. Please also read A successful content writer must have a unique voice.

But what’s unique and original?

Sometimes I may have to use data from other sources; does that constitute copying or plagiarism? In most of the cases it is not. As long as the language is original and all the information is being presented in a unique manner, it is not copying and plagiarism. If you have problem with data from other websites being used for your own copy, and if you want some sort of data to be used, you will either have to supply that data on your own or you will need to pay for the effort needed to generate original data.

Do I own the content that you write for me?

Yes you do, you get the exclusive copyright the moment I turn in the document and you have paid for it. After I have handed over the documents it’s up to you what you want to do with that content. You can distribute it further, you can change it, truncate it, or simply delete it (although this would be heartbreaking and discouraging).

I may use some of your documents as samples to prove to prospective clients what a great content writer I am, but the content of these documents will not be used for commercial purposes. In case you have made me sign a non-disclosure agreement, then I won’t use your documents as samples.

Are you a native English speaker?

No, I’m not. It is a language that I have learned. My mother tongue is Punjabi and since my wife speaks Hindi, this is the language that we use at home. I do my business in English and I also do all my writing in English.

So if you’re not a native English speaker, why should I hire you instead of a content writer who is a native English speaker?

Why shouldn’t you? Please go ahead and hire a native English speaking content writer if that’s what you want.

But this doesn’t address the “why should I hire you” part.

Command over a language (including writing abilities) is a gift. You are not born with it. Many Booker prize winners are not native English speaking writers. Just because a language is your mother tongue it doesn’t mean you can write compellingly and convincingly. Language is just a tool that you use to make an impact.

Most of the writers are equally adept at using multiple languages. This is because the ability to literarily express yourself does not depend on which language you use. Of course in order to write fluently you need to be comfortable with the language you are currently using but once you have attained that comfort level, it doesn’t matter whether you are a native speaker or you have learned the language.

For more material on this, please read Why you should hire me as your content writer.

How much do you charge for your content writing and content marketing services?

Please refer to My content writing rates.

How do you track your time in order to invoice for it?

I use the time tracker tool from FreshBooks.com. It tracks time by the second.

Can I trust you that you will use the time tracking tool honestly?

Trust is an individual choice based on experience, so I cannot say much to convince you. On my part, all I can say is, all the clients that work with me trust me.

Typically, how much time do you take to complete a business document?

This depends on the amount of information I have with me. Normally it takes me 40-70 minutes to complete a business document. Generic blog posts and information articles I can complete in about 30 minutes. If research is required, then the time depends on the amount of research needed.

Do you charge extra for revisions?

This depends on whether it is minor revision or major revision (you provide me some information initially, and then you decide to change it). If I completely need to rewrite the document because things have changed on your side then yes, I will invoice for it. If there are just some minor changes here and there that can be completed in 5 minutes, I don’t charge extra. I also don’t charge extra if the revision needs to be done due to my oversight or misunderstanding.

How do I pay you?

You can use PayPal or online bank transfer.

Do you charge an advance?

Initially, yes, I do. It will be 50%. For instance, if I have committed 10 hours then I will be charging an advance for 5 hours. If it is an ongoing assignment then I’m not worried too much about the advance. Every month I will send you an invoice and you can pay me accordingly. If I have already worked with you then also I don’t bother with the advance thing.

Can you work on a few documents for free so that we can decide whether we want to hire you or not?

No speculative work. I will provide you the appropriate samples. You can also go through my website. You can also Google “amrit hallan”. There are many ways you can get a sense of how I work in order to make up your mind.

Is there a minimum number of hours that I have to hire you for?

No.
