Is It That Hard to Hire Someone?

Filed under: Uncategorized — WebWriter @ 10:38 pm

Seriously. Is it? It just can’t be that hard. I’m a Web writer and I know at least three other Web writers who are good at what they do. We’re here, people! Right here! There’s no need to cobble together a pile of words and hope that people can figure out what you are saying.

Too many people insist on thinking they can write their own copy. Don’t get me wrong- there are people out there who can write their own copy through effort and study. They can learn about Web writing and put forth an effort that’s just as good as most professionals can put out.

But, this guy isn’t one of them. I have no idea what he’s selling/giving away/babbling about. There is seemingly no point to this website and I will eat my own head if anyone signs up to do…whatever it is he wants them to do. This isn’t that much copy. It wouldn’t have cost him that much to hire a professional to write it. Well, he did save a few bucks. Unfortunately, I don’t expect that he’ll make a few bucks.

A few highlights:

“The same type of products that are in Hugh demand by Newbie’s and Seasoned Marketers alike.”

But believe it.”

“You Are at the Right Place / Right Time!”

The only Thing I’m in the right place for is For the Random capitalization of Inappropriate words. Great job!

Yuck

The grossness of the title of this “article” should be the first clue to how bad it is. However, I’m afraid it didn’t fully prepare me for how bad it really was.

I can’t figure out what the point of the blog is. There is no name on it, no portfolio, no adds, only dollops of dubious, dreadful drivel. Like my alliteration? I didn’t think so.

My favorites from this thing have to be:

“With a lot of people wanting to break free from the conventional norms of 8hour office jobs, demanding boss and a whole lot more.”

” A helpful hint in the main falls on providing a good portfolio of your written works.”

“Once you get yourself into this field, meeting the client’s standard and needs should be exhibited for the most part. ”

And whatever holy hell this is: “This will serve as an illustration of all the articles and pieces you have therefore; embarking on a new chosen field definitely ask of a presentable and well written article samples.”

Yuck. I think, and it’s just conjecture since there are no identifying details on this blog, that the writer is insane. Ok, I actually think that it’s a writer who doesn’t speak English well, probably Indian from the word usage, and they’ve set up this blog with the hope of eventually selling ads for it. They probably also send this link to potential clients just to give them an excuse to pay them $3 an article. I think it’ll work.
