How do you find a good copywriter?

2 points by rhaphazard 14 years ago | 6 comments

My dad's business is having a hard time finding a good copywriter. We might hire a freelancer for some urgent work, but since the business revolves around a somewhat monolithic system, the time/resources it would take to train him/her would probably be better spent on a full time employee.

Any advice on how/where to find a good copywriter?

If you're open to doing it in-house, you could get someone to train themselves using this course: http://www.appsumo.com/kopywriting-kourse-eg/?rf=srch

Then you may be able to do so yourself. It's only $69 to take the course.

Thanks for the link. I'm not a frequent user of Appsumo. How long do deals like this last? Do you have to be logged in to take the course: as in, can only the purchaser take the course?

Ranging from a few days to 2 weeks. You have to be logged in to take the course, so only the purchaser can take the course. Alternatively, you can make use an email address that's common to your company so that everyone can get access to it using that common login.
