How many words per article?
There are always great debates about word count in articles and as Google has changed its rules it has upped the word count in articles. The reason for this is that there was a trend to just write 500 - 700 word sell articles about 10 years ago, which didn't really give any value to the reader.
So over the years, Google has changed its rules to encourage and reward people who offer quality information. This shows up in your bounce rate which Google takes into account as user experience (UX). Basically, as your bounce rate goes down (people are staying to read your article and click the links) you will be ranked higher.
Creating a request for a copywriter
Whether you use Hire writer, Fiverr or a Freelancer you will have to create an outline of what you want to be written.
- You will start with defining the topic of the article
- Find a keyword-rich title (look for low hanging fruit as always)
- Determine the length you want
- Find a copywriter and talk about the details and set a due date
- Review the article and accept or ask for a rewrite
- Edit article in Site Content and publish (you will receive it in an email to cut and paste.)

Excellent information, Lily,
I decided to start off with copywriter software so I can get in the trenches and begin to learn to write content before I hire a writer. I just want to learn to write and tolerate it before I hire that responsibility over to a professional.
Thanks,
CJ

Wow, what a helpful resource for blog owners to decide on the way forward in the online world, Lily! Most blog owners don't realize that they need a copywriter at some stages to regularly provide useful content that will satisfy their readers' appetites. When they provide useful and engaging content, readers will spend quality time reading over and over again and this will help improve bounce rate.

All good tips Lil, and good to see you on the blog again.
There are also facebook groups, Pro Blogger is one off the top of my head.
Many are experienced and have samples of their work, prices are negotiable.
I use one every now and then.
The way I do it is, she writes the article, I add the links and photos. I also give her the title and keywords.
Often times we will discuss keywords to use as she has quite good knowledge of SEO.
They are out there and finding a good one is not too hard.
Many people rubbish Fiverr, but I have used it once or twice and was very pleased with the result I think it cost US$45.00.
The exchange rate was a lot kinder then.
A great post Lil,
Michael.
