The impact of professional content writing services on your business

Irrespective of what you think, your target customers and clients can easily make out whether the content present on your website is written by a professional content writer or some untrained person whose primary job is not writing and expressing ideas.

Your business needs professional content writing services if you want to make the right impact and actually improve your bottom line. The problem with most small businesses is they don’t take their content seriously. Just because it is text, so anybody can write, they think. There is a reason why there are journalists, novelists, writers and of course, content writers. People pay them for a reason. And that reason is, they bring in something that a person whose profession is not content writing, cannot bring.

How do you define professional content writing?

  • It is error-free
  • It uses the language your target customers and clients use
  • It gives the search engines a reason to rank your links higher
  • It provides the right information to your visitors and empowers them
  • It engages your audience
  • It is written in a professional but conversational style
  • It is consistent – the writing style doesn’t just randomly change from page to page, or from blog post to blog post
  • It increases your conversion rate
  • In terms of quantity, it remains consistent

You can find some of the attributes mentioned above from casual content writers, but if your business requires all of these, then you certainly need to work with professional content writing services.

Businesses, unfortunately, get trapped in a loop of cost-saving. In order to save money they pay a heavy price. There is this strange hangup, that money shouldn’t be spent on getting the content professionally written. After all, it is just text, even a high school student can write it. Wrong.

The people who come to your website are going to spend money. It means they take your product or service seriously. Do you intend to make a difference in their lives? How do you communicate that you really mean business? How do you convince them that you want to solve their problems with the solution you have got and why they should trust in you rather than another website? What is so unique about your product or service? You not wanting to spend money on professional content writing services mean that you don’t have enough confidence in your business. Since you are not sure whether you are going to make sufficient money or not, you want to save as much money as possible, to your detriment.

A big problem in today’s work scenario is you face tremendous competition. No matter how unique your product or service is, there is always somebody somewhere with the same offer. Take for instance my content writing services. If you search for my kind of services, you will find every web link but mine (I am working on that and if you were able to find my link, it means my effort is showing some result). It means I face lots of competition. Both in terms of quantity and quality, I face competition. So when people come to my website, I need to convince them, I need to offer them something that is not available on other websites. I try to give my prospective clients as much information as possible and then let them decide. This is my way of working and I don’t impose it on my clients. If they want content that hard sells I give them content that hard sells (of course I always stick to my basic philosophy that your customers and clients should never be misled into doing something they don’t want to do).

So your business can get a formidable edge by working with professional content writing services rather than having some non-professional write your content.

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

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.
