Content development: Knowing when to hire an experienced content creator...aka freelance writer

As webpages take on the role of a hub in business development, the content created for businesses becomes critically important. 

Websites are not just a place to keep your blogs. Your business's website is your representative when your business is closed. It is your best sales clerk when you have online shoppers. The content that you opt to place on your site is what customers use to find information about products, services, demographic information about your physical store, and to make purchases. These are just some of the reasons why content development is important.

When do you know if you need a writer?

The question for business owners is whether or not they have the time and talent to create and maintain web content that is engaging. Writing and posting a blog or article every day is a time-consuming chore. It is one of the primary reasons that I do not maintain a personal blog myself. I have been producing content for other people for the past five years. When it comes to my own writing, I don't want the pressure or obligation that goes along with creating and producing a quality blog or website. 

It is time consuming to develop content strategies. What keywords should you use? What products should you promote? What information will your customers need or want? Running a business is hard enough without the worry and pressure of trying to write meaningful and useful content. This is why it's so important to outsource your content development needs to an experienced content creator, such as Whitney Cann. 

Most businesses outsource content creation. They outsource marketing to people who understand what to write and what to promote. This time of year is a perfect example of how important using a writer can be. Look down at your to-do list. It is likely full of monthly chores, accounting, inventory, payroll, bill paying plus all of your personal stuff. In six months, the holidays will be here. Now is the time to start preparing content for the holiday season. Do you have time to add that to your to-do list? If the answer is no, then you need a content writer.

Why Outsourcing Content Creation Works

Outsourcing content development allows you the freedom to concentrate on the things that you need to accomplish. Using a writer to create content for your webpage and marketing materials allows you to focus on growing your business. Creating content is not easy. Writing is a craft and to master that craft requires constant practice. Using a writer allows you to focus on the things that you need to in order to improve your business, manage your chores, meet your goals, and to live the American dream.
