With the development of business on the Internet, the services of copywriters are becoming more and more in demand. For entrepreneurs, the question is relevant: how to quickly find a copywriter or web writer and get good texts relatively inexpensively. Difficulties arise when the customer is looking for a freelancer for the first time. In this article, I will tell you where to find a copywriter for the site, and consider the features of different Internet sites.

Current resources where you can find a Russian-speaking copywriter:

• freelance sites,
• copywriting exchanges,
• social networks,
• forums,
• job/employee search sites;
• personal websites and blogs of copywriters;
• websites of copywriting agencies.

Each of these sites can help you find a specialist.

Freelance sites

Specialized sites unite freelancers in different specializations. You can also find copywriters there. Moreover, the level of professionalism of the latter varies from beginners to venerable pros.

On freelance sites, each user has their own profile. There you can see information about the author, examples of his work, reviews of other customers and contacts for communication. The advantage of most of these sites is the secure transaction feature (optional). It involves the mediation of the site when the customer works with a freelancer and, for a small fee, guarantees the fulfillment of obligations by both parties, excluding the possibility of fraud.

Estimated prices: $1–5 per 1,000 characters of text.

The largest freelance sites in Runet: fl.en, freelance.en, weblancer.net.

Copywriting exchanges

Copywriting exchanges work on the same principle as freelance sites. The main difference is the inability to contact the performer directly. The customer's connection with copywriting takes place exclusively through messages on the exchange. It should be noted that this is very inconvenient.

All transactions on the exchanges go through the system in approximately the following way: the customer creates a project and deposits money into the internal account; when choosing a contractor, the required amount is blocked on the account, it can no longer be used; when the work is received and approved, the payment is transferred to the copywriter. Accordingly, the possibility of fraud is excluded.

For customers with a relatively small budget, copywriting exchanges are a good option. But you need to understand that the lower the prices, the more likely it is to deal with a novice author. Unfortunately, not all newcomers are talented. To be fair, there are real “diamonds”, but they do not stay in the low price category for a long time.

Another significant feature of the exchanges is that they are aimed primarily at informational SEO-articles. If you need effective selling texts, high-quality PR-articles and other commercial materials, ordering them on stock exchanges is not the best solution.

Approximate prices: 0.2–2$ per 1000 characters of text.

Popular copywriting exchanges:etxt.ru, text.en, miratext.en, turbotext.en, copylancer.en, advego.en, text sale.en.

Social networks

You can find a good copywriter not only on specialized sites, but also on social networks. There are several ways to do this:

1. Page search. Upon request, the system issues a list of profiles of people who are somehow connected with copywriting. Then it's up to the small thing - to write messages to the right users.
2. Search by communities. It's no secret that many copywriters lead groups and publics on social networks. What's more, the group often serves as a mini-site for the freelancer. This means that you can find a list of services, their cost, portfolio, reviews and other useful information for the customer. After analyzing a number of communities, you will surely be able to find a good author for the project.
3. View publics where copywriters live. Freelancers often communicate with each other in thematic groups: they ask questions, give advice, comment, joke. This is in the hands of customers, because you can watch the authors from the outside, evaluate professionalism and notice suitable partners. You can find such communities through the same search. You should pay attention to the "live" groups, in which new posts and comments appear daily.

The prices for copywriting services here are very different. Freelancers ask on average from $1-2 for 1000 characters to $8-10 for the same volume. The determining factor is the professionalism of the author and, of course, the task itself.

"Live" public VKontakte: Overheard | Copywriting(pod_copy), Copywriters unite!(forcopywriters), Panda copywriting(textis_en).

Forums

When it comes to where to look for a copywriter for a project, do not forget about thematic forums. They, like communities in social networks, provide an opportunity to observe the author from the side. On some resources, freelancers have their own presentation theme, which provides information for customers. As a last resort, if no contacts are indicated, the copywriter can be contacted via private messages on the forum itself.

The “public” on such sites is very diverse, so the pricing policy here is also ambiguous. Beginners charge about $1-2 for a “thousand mark”, experienced copywriters charge $5 or more.

Forums where you can find copywriters: textis.ru/forum/, searchengines.guru, webmasters.ru/forum/f90/.

Job/Employee Search Sites

Freelancers are forced to search for jobs on their own, and they have to do this constantly in order to have a continuous stream of projects. For copywriters, job search sites are a source of clients, and for customers, they are a place where authors' resumes are collected.

The main advantage of job search portals is the resume template format. This makes it easier for customers to select and compare candidates for projects. A resume usually indicates not only freelancing experience, but also previous offline jobs, education, and a contact phone number. However, neither a portfolio, nor reviews, nor detailed prices for services can be found here - all this will have to be requested from each copywriter individually.

Popular Job Search Sites: worka.ru, zarplata.ru, job.ru, hh.ru.

Personal websites and blogs

Another option for finding a freelancer is the corresponding query in Google or Yandex. Where to find a copywriter for the site, if not on his own resource? Here, the eyes of the customer reveal all the advantages and disadvantages of the author. After all, usually copywriters write texts for their pages on their own.

The advantage of personal sites is that they provide all the information the client needs: examples of work, prices, contact information, and feedback. And the resource itself, especially if it has a blog, is a solid portfolio.

Quotes on copywriter sites are often higher than on general sites. This is due, as a rule, to a higher professional level of the authors. Good specialists charge for their services an average of $ 5 per 1000 characters of text. But there are also sites with frankly low prices (about $ 0.5-1 per 1000 characters). Whether to trust them if you need quality material is up to you.

Websites for copywriting agencies

Another option to find a contractor for a project is to contact a copywriting studio. They can also be found in search engines on the appropriate request. Like personal freelance websites, agency websites provide clients with all the information they need. This is the best solution for those who need to get a large amount of text in a short time. Several authors work in the studios, so they implement large-scale tasks without problems.

The disadvantage of agencies is that the customer cannot find out in advance who will work on the project and what professional level the contractor has. The exception is well-known studios in which the authors undergo a serious selection.

The order of prices in copywriting agencies is similar to the rates of freelancers and on average is at the level of $ 3-5 per 1000 characters.

Now you know where to find a good copywriter. In the next article, I will tell you what criteria are recommended for choosing an author and how to work with a remote employee correctly.

(7 ratings, average: 5,00 out of 5)

Raising the eternal topic of authors about finding orders, I will share three more addresses where you can get hold of rich clients. Today I no longer use these sites, but when there was a crisis in work, the services described below helped me out a lot. I hope that the copywriter orders offered on these resources will be useful to you.

Brief digression

A little unintentionally delaying the disclosure of the chips, I will suggest that you familiarize yourself with the site at the dedicated link. This service is suitable for authors who know all the subtleties of performance. In order not to waste time, follow the link in the article and register for the service. This will start the countdown for you. While the profession is being mastered, you will already have a registration mark in your profile. When submitting an application, customers look at the date and give preference to authors who have been users of the resource for more than a day.

Get to the point - orders for copywriters at kadrof.ru

I stumbled upon this site quite by accident. I was just looking for information about freelancing, reading various news. I liked the site, saved it to my bookmarks, and somehow everything was forgotten. But one day, at the peak of the crisis at work, in search of orders, I opened a tab, having already quite forgotten about this resource. To make it clearer, this is the picture I had before my eyes.

This is the main page that you will be taken to by clicking on the link - http://www.kadrof.ru. Copy the text and paste it into the search bar. For reasons of promotion, I do not put a direct link.

In red, I highlighted the word - stock exchange. How did I manage to not pay attention to the fact that this site has job offers. I really liked the articles, I was a regular reader of the resource. Apparently before that there was no high demand for orders offered here to copywriters. But I found a scythe on a stone. In anticipation of finding a good client, I clicked on the tab and landed on the next page.

I will add that no registration is needed, just click and go to the next page. Immediately in the left sitebar we see offers. We are interested in the second and fifth lines from the top. In one, orders are offered to copywriters, in the second, to SEO-optimizers. To work, by clicking on the second tab, you need to familiarize yourself with all. If you have such skills, please. No, click on the "copywriting texts" tab and see the next section.

We look at the proposals in the center. I will not make screenshots of all orders, I will simply add that they are constantly updated. Communication with customers directly, via mail or Skype. At one time, I found a couple of clients here. Try it, it might work for you too.

Nejaden Copywriter Forum

This is a talker for authors. You can register by copying the link to your browser - http://nejaden.mybb.ru . At one time I hung out on this platform. There is no time today. It will be useful for novice copywriters to communicate with the old-timers of the resource. But we need something else. You can search for orders for copywriters here by clicking on the tabs that I marked in red in the picture below.

The first line in the highlighted area is “Copywriters offer their services.” We do not hesitate and create an additional topic. Who communicated on other forums will be able to do this without problems. The engines are the same for everyone, the moderators only change the names of the topics. Be sure to register and complete your profile by attaching your

The second line is "copywriters are required." Let's go and look at offers. Feel free to submit your candidacy. I also had contacts here, and if my memory does not fail me, I work with one to this day. Don't be lazy and offer a trial job. If you are confident in yourself - it will not be difficult to do, and the customer will see your skills, as they say - in person.

Bulletin board

Let me be clear, this is not a fake site. There are a lot of proposals and scam projects. But we don't need it. I'll show you exactly where to find job offers for copywriters. Copy the link and paste it into the browser - http://rabotunaidu.ru/c1_rabota_na_domu_vakansii.html. You can register if you don't want to. The link leads to the main page. Bright, beautiful, but too much.

Various offers and bright slogans. Foolishly, you can run into an unpleasant waste of money. I marked in red, a small word in the right sitebar - copywriting. Click on the tab and go to the next page.

I highlighted the sentences in red. Let's open each and see what's on offer. Don't let it scare you that some sentences say "work for moms on maternity leave." The section contains offers of orders for copywriters. Feel free to follow the link and read. There are a lot of options here. Not only for copywriters, but also for content managers. Contact customers directly by mail. But just remember Such cases are not isolated, so play it safe.

At the last service, I found a good customer. I can’t say for sure, but for six months I then provided myself with a job. There was some kind of electronics company, I did product descriptions for the store. Actually, the bulletin board is good because stores and various companies post offers here for the most part. Working as a copywriter with such customers means gaining invaluable experience in selling texts. In my opinion, each author is simply obliged to work in an online store or another company that sells any product.

That's all. I will be glad if these services come in handy, and if you have already found orders for copywriters on these sites, it is interesting to know your opinions about clients.

Video on the topic is another way to find customers for a copywriter.

Inferno Solutions — 7 years of successful, productive work and more than 7,000 satisfied customers!

It's no secret that the success of any Internet resource directly depends on the quality of the content published on it. And the more often the content on the site is updated, the more traffic will be (business card sites, which consist of several pages, will not be taken into account).

Recently, I have decided to spend most of the money not on buying links for my projects, but on buying more articles. Such a strategy not only allows you to keep the site “in good shape”, fill it with up-to-date information, but also is a “white, fluffy” type of search engine optimization, for which your site will not be 100% punished by search engines (unless, of course, you are too carried away re-optimization of the text).

Since I do not have the time and desire to write dozens of articles on a wide variety of topics every week, I decided to find a few good copywriters from whom I could consistently place orders.

First of all, I went to the seo forums, to the copywriting sections. I compared all the possible offers, read the reviews, and decided to order SEO copywriting from one guy who had good reviews. For the test, he had to write 1 text: if I like it, we will work on an ongoing basis, if not - #goodbye!

You know, for the umpteenth time I was convinced (the first time was when, who would make me a template for the new design of this blog), that the reviews on the forums are very often not entirely objective. Why? Yes, because this copywriter completed the order at the wrong time, made such mistakes in it that my hair on my head stood on end. Oh yes, and he also initially wanted the billing to be carried out for 1000 characters WITH SPACES!

Therefore, I would not advise you to look for copywriters on the forums. I'm not saying that there are no adequate performers who will do their job with high quality. No, there are enough quality performers. But for the work they will charge you at least 2-3 bucks for 1000 simv.b.p. I think that the ideal amount for a normal quality rewrite is $1 per 1000 bp characters. Especially if I plan to work with this person for a long time, and there will be a lot of orders.

After that, I decided to talk with my friends - they should know trusted copywriters who write competent texts. Not everyone, of course, will agree to give such information, but I still found 2 copywriters (with whom I still work). Rewriting cost: $1 per 1000 characters.

By the way, I don’t order articles for placing links in copywriters, but simply buy ready-made cheap texts in article stores and (the latter’s usability, to put it mildly, is “lame”). I try to find thematic articles for each order. For a job well done, advertisers are likely to add you to their whitelist and buy links in the future. Yes, and the speed of order fulfillment in GGL will be higher for you, since you won’t have to wait for copywriters to write the desired text.

Well, now it's time to move on to the final part of this post. In it, I would like to tell you about the most ideal content exchange that I have worked with. Its name is ContentMonster . For the first time I registered in it 9 months ago. Registered and forgot. And the first order was made only last month :). And in such a short time has already managed to appreciate all the benefits of the service.

The first, indisputable advantage is the simplicity and convenience of the service (Note Textsale!).

• Strict selection of copywriters. With the help of a system of tests that copywriters must pass when registering in the system, and the moderator, 75% of candidates are eliminated! So you can be sure that you will not order from some illiterate schoolboy.
• Automatic check by the system of the uniqueness of articles written by copywriters. There is a similar system in other exchanges, but I often had cases when I bought a 100% unique article in another exchange, checked it, and it turned out that it was 100% non-unique! In ContentMonster you will definitely not find this!
• 0% commission for customers!

Also, ContentMonster guarantees that if you don’t like the text for any reason, then the exchange will refund you 120% of its value!

And that is not all :). For every 100WMR spent in the system, you get 1 bonus point (1 point = 1 WMR). These points can be spent to order new texts in the system.

As you can see, ContentMonster has a lot of advantages for the customer.

Copywriters incontentMonster will also not remain in the red:

• Relatively little competition (due to moderation during registration) and a huge number of customers will not leave you without work!
• Low commission compared to other exchanges.

It turns out that in a month in ContentMonster you can earn 815$ !

I wrote about the main advantages of the service. Let's now look at the main functionality.

Most often, in the order settings, I specify the following information:

You can also create a scheduled or multi-order order.

As you can see, there are more than enough settings and this greatly facilitates the work of both the customer and the contractor. Order settings can be duplicated for further orders, all you have to do is change the keywords, title and subject of the article.

Why didn't I choose not copywriting in the settings, but rewriting? Yes, because as a result of rewriting 2-3 articles, the output is an excellent, 100% unique article that is in no way inferior in quality to copywriting. And I don’t really believe that if I order copywriting on the topic “how to repair an airplane”, then someone will write a full-fledged copyright.

I also really liked the opportunity to choose a copywriter according to the specified search conditions:

When you create an order, you will have the opportunity not only to send it to selected artists (or a group of artists), but also to see possible offers from other copywriters.

When choosing the right artist, I first of all look at his reviews, examples of work and personal page (there have been cases when a person writes that he knows how to write a selling text, and on the page with personal information in the text he has a lot of errors :), what can we say about selling texts).

Speaking of reviews. Lots of reviews are good. But if a person has about 1000 reviews, then I understand that he must have a lot of orders, and, accordingly, my task may not have a completely individual approach. But if a person has 20-100 positive reviews, this indicates that he is just starting his copywriting career at ContentMonster and will take my order more seriously. Well, this is purely my IMHO :).

I almost forgot, all new users can get 100 rubles to their balance for a test drive of the exchange. Hurry up to register!

Letters often come asking where a copywriter should look for customers. Having a decent salary is the dream of every author. But for this you need to find paying customers. Writer's exchanges are for beginners and penny texts. If your qualifications allow you to create interesting articles, the style appeals to readers - it's time to enter a new level of pricing. Therefore, today we are talking about where a copywriter can find customers for decent content.

5 places for a copywriter to look for customers

I’ll make a reservation right away that my method is for those who prefer to write thoughtfully, hone their skills, constantly develop, and. If you are afraid of communicating with top management or company owners, and it’s easier for you to take a volume to write 20,000 characters a day, the described methods should not be taken seriously. They will only take time and force you to make unnecessary gestures. There will be enough orders for everyone at the textodromes.

Do you write piece texts? Read the top 5 ways to find "expensive" clients.

We advise sites for free - we declare ourselves

Money is found next to big money. Where hundreds of articles are ordered with a budget of 10-20 thousand rubles, we have nothing to do. It is clear that the online store needs to fill in 5,000 product cards with the same type of descriptions. But you won’t be able to make money here - “high-performance” authors are required here.

Therefore, we go where the goods are few in number, but expensive. Buyers of "luxury" will not read nonsense about the fact that "today motor yachts are more popular than ever." Such sites require "catchy" texts and a syllable at the level of glossy magazines.

Do not be afraid to appreciate (but soberly) evaluate your work. 1000 rubles per page? 5,000? 10,000? It all depends on your level, fame, and the ability to "sell yourself." If you can’t justify why you (namely you!) need to pay 20,000 for the material, then how will you write “salesperson” for this company?

Procedure

Take the time - attach an analysis of one of the pages, and designate an alternative to the most terrible phrases. The latest news is from the last month or year? Be sure to say about it, and give a link to how you masterfully write news and know how to work with newsmakers.

Empty criticism is fruitless. Be sure to include examples with links to your site.

Don't expect instant results. There were cases when a potential client remembered the offer after 7-8 months.

We work at exhibitions - we go to conquer Moscow

It so happened that the Russian-speaking exhibition life is concentrated in Moscow. Even if you live in a remote region, take the time to buy a train ticket (or get in a car) and head to the capital. Do not be afraid to tear your ass off the sofa - your efforts will be rewarded.

Remember that the exhibition is not only new acquaintances and customers, but also fresh first-hand information, as well as unique illustrations. Take your camera with you and take pictures of everything that catches your eye. Starting from Moscow "traffic jams", ending with the control panel of the machine, or the car engine. You will figure it out at home - there are no extra photos.

How to start a conversation at an exhibition

So, we arrived at the exhibition center. We slowly go around the exposition, communicate, collect information about new products. We talk with potential partners, interview visitors. The optimal time is the first and last exhibition days. On these dates, the probability of meeting the owner of the company at the booth, and not a bored manager (who will throw your business card in the trash), increases significantly.

• One method is to take the booklet and read it. Point out problem areas and propose a corrective solution. You can do this with a pen in the margins, and attach your business card.
• Another way is to start discussing the merits of the product, along the way to give a few ideas on how to improve it. After establishing contact, reveal the cards.
• A way for the lazy is to simply stick business cards on each stand. The effectiveness is minimal, but this is a trial step for those who are afraid of communicating with customers.

copywriter business card

If you have several directions, make a business card for each of them. In the same style, but with unique text. So that people can see that in front of them is exactly the one they need. If you go to a boat show, take a “copywriter for boats and yachts” card. You visit a car dealership - it is appropriate to say that you are an automotive journalist with 20 years of experience (of course, we are writing the truth).

Life hack - where to sleep for a writer

In this chapter I will deviate from the topic. Since I am writing for authors, the lion's share of which lives far from the capital region, I will share some subtleties. Fortunately, I have accumulated enough experience of meeting delegations when I was the head of logistics in Moscow.

It is convenient to arrive by train arriving early in the morning. And leave - the next day in the evening. We get two full days, during which we will visit 4 expositions with just one overnight stay.

• Hotels near metro convenient for further movement, but the prices are designed for highly paid writers. If you are taking the first steps, leave this option for the future.
• Hotels near MKAD and in the nearest suburbs. Here the prices are more humane, it is really possible to find accommodation for a reasonable price.
• Hostels - for those who do not need a separate room, and who do not suffer from individualist complexes. Even in the city center, you will spend the night warm for an acceptable fee, and in the morning you will be able to move forward on business.
• Grandmothers with signs "Apartments for a day" - I recommend to bypass them. In addition to unsanitary conditions, it is easy to get unnecessary drunken conversations with the owners, and the risk of losing property.

The cheapest option is to come by car and spend the night in it. To reduce the cost, take fellow travelers through the site or at the bus station. And any parking lot on the outskirts for 100-150 rubles. will gladly host you on its territory. At the same time, you can ask for boiling water, or visit the bathroom.

Save on transfer

Arrived by plane - do not rush to respond to the offers of airport taxi drivers. Proceed to the departure parking lot. There, personal drivers drop off the bosses, and go back "empty". If you have experience, you will get to the city in a premium car for the price of a juice pack.

There is no desire to communicate - download the application and order transport online. Or you go by train.

Direct communication with potential partners

Since you're in a capital city, take advantage of the high concentration of offices per square kilometer. Choose 2-3 companies that are suitable for the topic, and go to negotiations. Do not be surprised if they tell you on the phone that management is insanely busy and the company does not need your services.

Come in person - talk, argue, offer.

There is a trend - the better the existing text on the company's website - the more likely it is that you will work together. If there is a swamp of “water” on the portal, it is likely that everyone is happy with everything, and you will waste precious time.

shop copywriter

Work lies in wait for the master copywriter everywhere. If you see a price tag with an error in the store, or an incompetent description of the product, talk to the director. Perhaps he had thought about it for a long time, but he did not have time to look for the right person.

We cooperate with manufacturers and suppliers

We read in the instructions, on the packaging of the goods, or in the booklet, found "water" in the brochure - we go to the contacts of the enterprise or importer. "Writer of a machine-building plant" - it sounds proud

We write in magazines - increase fame

As a rule, thematic publications are also present at specialized exhibitions. In a live conversation, it is easier to find a common language with the editor, to interest him in cooperation. Of course, you can send an article by e-mail, and wait for a response. But a preliminary agreement will remove unnecessary questions and provide direct contacts.

Have no illusions - the fee for the first publications is unlikely to exceed $100. As long as you don't have a name, no one will pay the top bar. Therefore, you have to bite the bullet and climb up, gaining "fame in narrow circles."

Once the outcome of a conversation withThe PR director of a large company decided the magazine lying in the conference room. To the question, “why should we use your services, because we don’t even know who you are and how you write,” I silently handed the well-known magazine with my article to my interlocutor. Then the conversation went in a different direction - in the eyes of my counterpart, I immediately switched from a petitioner who came to “sell articles” into a journalist who visited the office.

Articles without illustrations are of little interest to anyone. Therefore, immediately illustrate your creation with unique (not published on the Web) photographs.

See collaboration with magazines not as a momentary source of income, but as an investment in the future. Fame with a competent approach is quite successfully monetized.

Own website - business card of a copywriter

Of course, reaching a new level of cooperation is unthinkable without a personal representation on the Internet. Therefore, the presence of the site is not discussed. Potential partners come to the page from a search, here they can see a portfolio, get acquainted with your style, find out prices. Therefore, keep the portal in order, keep it up to date.

We use text exchanges as an advertising platform

As soon as the author "fledges", he is no longer interested in low-paying orders on exchanges, and he deletes accounts. But occasionally quite adequate buyers (including heads of small companies) come to textodromes for high-quality texts. They may even have a long blacklist and a low average score. Because "exchangers" cannot provide them with the content of the required level.

Therefore, if you leave accounts, make sure that your resume and portfolio are up to date. Set the price at which you work. Sometimes the customer is not looking for the minimum cost, but the maximum, counting on the appropriate qualifications.

You should not expect massive responses from exchanges, but 2-3 clients a year will contact you.

What gives a comprehensive search for customers

Sooner or later, an intelligent author outgrows freelance exchanges and text sites. Even on the most "cool" maximum - 1000 r. per kilosign without spaces. But you deserve more! Therefore, I voiced 5 options for a copywriter to look for direct customers - use, combine. Open new niches, improve your skills, and with it - and.

You are afraid to immediately plunge into an independent search - start gradually to feel your worth.

• Reach level 5 at the TextBroker.
• Send resume to editors (work.glvrd.ru).
• Send the release to top copywriting agencies: (for example - mastertext.ru/partnerstvo/).
• Study magazines in your field, write interesting articles, send them for consideration.

Expand the horizons of coverage, grow up and in breadth. Do not be upset if half a year of work does not bring visible results. Time needs to pass. The client base is accumulating gradually. And when you want to quit this “movement”, a client whom you have been “spudding” for a long time will appear on the horizon and order a text at a decent price.

Good luck and development in the field of copywriting!
