Try Your Hand At Writing

Article writing is great marketing tool that can establish you as an expert in your field. An article written by you is more meaningful and holds more credence than placing an advertisement.

Deciding what to write about is as easy as thinking about your last job. What questions did your client ask you? Whatever they asked is something they were thinking about right then. It is a timely topic.

Check with your local papers and free magazines. They look for content. There are also online sources that are constantly seeking new material.

Hiring a Writer - They Don't Have to Be Local

The advent of the Internet has made it very easy for writers to market their services. No longer are you limited to writers in your home city or region. Sources for those seeking freelance writers online include bidding sites, such as Elance.com and Guru.com. Both of these web sites bring writers and project managers together.

To find a writer locally, contact a local writers' group. Most cities have social and professional groups for freelance writers. Regional writing magazines are another source to find a local writer. Plus, don't rule out asking your friends and acquaintances for a recommendation.

Why a Business Should Hire a Writer

You and your employees write emails, memos, and letters every day, so why shouldn't you write the copy for your Website, brochure, and manuals? Consider this...you can add and subtract, but you probably hire an accountant at tax time. Why? Because accuracy in your financial affairs is vital to the success of your business. Likewise, professional print materials are essential if you want your company to thrive.

Contact me, Teri B. Clark, to learn how I can help you make your company thrive.

Need a Newsletter? Hire a Writer

A good way to show your expert status is with a newsletter. A newsletter says you are an expert, someone with an opinion, approachable, current, knowledgeable, and you always strive to find a better way for yourself and your readers. Good newsletters can reach everywhere, and repay your time and resource with sales.

Contact me, Teri B. Clark, to find out how I can help you achieve expert status.

Press Releases are Essential

Public Relations is all about creating visibility and exposure for your business in the media to encourage sales by communicating with the public and your ideal customers. The public may include customers, staff, suppliers, the government and so on. Public Relations (know as PR) does not have to be expensive and it can so often be a cheaper way to create positive exposure than other alternatives. A media release is usually the best form of gaining good PR.

What Makes a Good Writer.

Good writers can deliver great work on a wide variety of topics, but it is also often true that an individual writer will do their best work for a particular industry segment or type of product. Indeed, some writers and copywriters will deliberately specialize in health care, finance, B2B or some other niche area. So ask a writer which areas of business he or she is most familiar with.

I write extensively on the real estate market. Other topics of interest and experience include marketing, health/alternative medicine, parenting, and how-to manuals. Go to my website, www.teribclark.com to learn more about me and what I can do for you.
