And that is true. But more than just a team, you need an excellent team that can help your business with every bit of content your website or blog might need. You\u2019ll even need one for social posts, brochures, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s a lot for one team to handle. How do you find the right people to work on your content, and how can you be sure you\u2019re getting the most bang for your buck?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this post, I\u2019d like to talk about what a copywriting team is, what you should expect from a great team, including four examples of good marketing material writing, and how to manage a successful team. I\u2019m sure if you\u2019re still on the fence, they\u2019ll convince you that you need a great team for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a Copywriting Team?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A copywriting team is a group of individuals who can all work together and with you to create content for your website, blog, social media, ads, banners, and more. They possess the skills and experience to create SEO content that not only attracts readers but also converts, engages, and keeps people browsing your site.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Importance of Copywriting in Digital Marketing<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know that copywriting is important, but why is it crucial for marketing, and why can\u2019t you just do it yourself? Here\u2019s why you should strongly consider one for your content.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increase Your SEO<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-form, original, and high-quality content is a standard among top-ranking websites. When you work with a good team of copywriters, they\u2019ll meet SEO requirements and look at ranking trends to ensure your page reaches the top of the listings.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help Visitors Recognize Your Brand<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional-looking website design isn\u2019t complete without the content to fill it up. When you look at a page that barely has any copy, it almost looks like spam, and it certainly doesn&#8217;t look like the company put much time and effort into it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want your site to teach visitors about your brand, give them a sense of your personality, and connect with you personally. Whether your visitors are shopping, looking for helpful information, or looking to establish trust with your brand, high-quality content is how you help them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make &amp; Save Money<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evergreen content is a huge aid to your long-term marketing strategy. Potential customer traffic will still be directed to the page long after you\u2019ve posted it, especially if you keep it up to date. What\u2019s more, if that content is truly high-quality, it\u2019ll compel action like sales. Quality content is great for your ROI and pays for itself, often double and triple.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what makes good marketing content? Let\u2019s take a peek.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Four Examples of Good Marketing Material:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One<\/strong>: Newsletters and emails are a foundation of marketing for any business, but they can be a challenge to write. Do you make them fun and have plenty of calls to action? Or do you prefer to have them more business-like and allow them to speak for themselves? Well, copywriters can take the load off your shoulders because they can write it for you and communicate your message to your target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Two<\/strong>: Writing a blog post can be even more difficult. You need to consider so many different aspects, such as how to format it or what tone to use. They\u2019re time-consuming, and it\u2019s more than likely that you don\u2019t have the time to put together a blog post with all the necessary research and editing. That\u2019s where a content team becomes your marketing BFF because they can take your links and what you want to say and create a well-written and engaging post. Then all you have to do is add some images and hit publish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Three<\/strong>: Every business uses ads, but how do you write the perfect campaign? An advertisement should make people want to stop and read it, then follow through with the call-to-action. An excellent content team can help you do that! They have the experience and knowledge necessary to get those link clicks and convert text into a sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Four<\/strong>: Of all the things we talked about above, this is perhaps the most important because it\u2019s where everything begins- web pages. Your marketing efforts won&#8217;t pay off if you have good copy everywhere but on your site. That\u2019s why you need someone who can not only write good but fantastic copy, and a good copywriting team can do just that. They can build content for your site that communicates your message, educates customers about a product or service, and engage your visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Depositphotos_60103029_xl-2015-1024x751.jpg\" alt=\"outsourcing a copywriting team\" class=\"wp-image-674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Depositphotos_60103029_xl-2015-1024x751.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Depositphotos_60103029_xl-2015-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Depositphotos_60103029_xl-2015-768x563.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outsourcing to a Copywriting Service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Copywriting, as you can likely now see, is a full-time, ongoing process that your business will need indefinitely. Hiring a professional copywriting service can help you create quality content without going through the long, stressful hiring process. Your copywriting team can handle your copywriting workflow without disrupting your business flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The copywriters at Flocksy have a great track record for delivering quality content that you can rely on to deliver your message and promote action. Your dedicated project manager oversees each project, and you\u2019ll be able to chat directly with the writer assigned to your project if you have any questions or concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the brand buckets mean you can attach a style and brand guide once, and our writers will have access to it with every project. Our writers are professional, vetted, and have experience with SEO content marketing, emails, blogs, ads, and everything in between. They\u2019ll send you the files once the project is finished, and if you want to change anything, you\u2019ll have unlimited revisions to get it just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A quality, comprehensive copywriting service is the most effective way to boost your content output while you continue handling all the other important parts of running a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about hiring a freelance copywriter? There are several pros and cons to each. Let\u2019s discuss those now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Hiring a Freelance Copywriter Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll have a lot to consider when you\u2019re looking to delegate your content work. As the business owner of a smaller company, the content creation may have fallen on you, and taking up that task is commendable. However, it\u2019s typically best to have a professional writer do the writing. But who do you choose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you reach out to a freelancer or contact a copywriting service? There can be pros and cons to either approach. With freelancers, you\u2019ll find them on platforms like Upwork, LinkedIn, and more. There will be writers for every type of content piece, and you\u2019ll be able to see if a person has experience with the content you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, here are the pros and cons of working directly with a freelancer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>More affordable<\/strong>. Because you\u2019re just paying for one service and one job, it\u2019ll typically be cheaper to pay a freelancer for a single project. You won\u2019t be paying for an ongoing service that may or may not include other services in addition to copywriting. That said, an experienced copywriter can be more costly. They may even charge upwards of $75 per 1000 words.<\/li><li><strong>Fast results<\/strong>. Assuming you find a writer quickly, they\u2019ll typically be able to produce your content in 24-72 hours. They\u2019ll receive instructions from you, your approximate or firm deadline, and get to work.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Flexible adaptation to your requirements<\/strong>. You\u2019ll be able to teach the freelancer what you need, and if you establish a connection with them, you\u2019ll essentially have your own copywriter without the in-house hiring.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>It\u2019s hard to find a good writer<\/strong>. There are thousands of writers to choose from on those freelance platforms, so you\u2019re bound to find a good one quickly. Right? Well, that may not always be the case. To be a good writer for your company, they\u2019ll need to: a) understand your field, b) adhere to deadlines, c) often excellent communication, and d) submit objectively well-written articles. They do exist, but you\u2019ll certainly pay for top talent because they know how valuable they are, which can translate into higher costs and a lot of time spent looking for someone.<\/li><li><strong>The quality of articles without an editor is unreliable<\/strong>. Editors and proofreading are a must. No matter how talented the writer is, they\u2019re bound to miss something in their writing because the writer will have an inherent blind spot since they know what they\u2019re trying to say. Adding an editor to the process can cost more. Still, it\u2019s necessary if your freelancer doesn\u2019t already work with one, particularly if you\u2019ll be delivering several projects to them with tight deadlines.<\/li><li><strong>A lot of effort<\/strong>. Looking for the right author and communicating your needs can be almost as time-consuming as looking for an in-house employee. The whole reason you\u2019re looking for a freelancer is to save time, not spend even more of it focused on only one task.<\/li><li><strong>Freelancers can overlook technical tasks.<\/strong> In some cases, technical requirements such as reference sheets or formatting can be forgotten by the freelancer. What\u2019s more, if you have a specific program or tool you use for your content, and they don\u2019t have it, you might spend a lot of time translating their documents into the format you need.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/marten-bjork-rH8O0FHFpfw-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"planning copywriting team\" class=\"wp-image-2922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/marten-bjork-rH8O0FHFpfw-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/marten-bjork-rH8O0FHFpfw-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/marten-bjork-rH8O0FHFpfw-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/marten-bjork-rH8O0FHFpfw-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/marten-bjork-rH8O0FHFpfw-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is a Copywriting Service Better Than Freelancers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with a copywriting service or company can provide other benefits that working with an individual copywriter or freelancer can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A copywriting service team will typically consist of writers, experts, a quality assurance manager, and a project manager. Because of the included checks and balances, many prefer working with a service for the following reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Factors That May Make You Want to Work With a Copywriting Service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>There\u2019s a delegated process<\/strong>. The copywriting service will choose professionals to hire and control the ones who get to work on projects with them. They\u2019ll vet their creatives and typically choose only those that show dedication to their work. As you can guess, subsequent content creation is of high quality. That\u2019s what we stand by at Flocksy.<\/li><li><strong>Consistent quality<\/strong>. By the end of every project you submit with Flocksy, you\u2019ll have excellent content that meets SEO requirements as well as any specific needs you assign. You get this because the writers that come to work for us every day always put quality first. That\u2019s why we hired them.<\/li><li><strong>Ease of communication<\/strong>. Writers and clients think about and speak about content differently. You might not be able to explain what you\u2019re looking for using their copywriting terms. Thanks to the regular communication between you and the project manager and writer, you\u2019ll enjoy a stress-free project process. You\u2019ll be able to use Loom video messaging to describe your project if that\u2019s easier for you, and you can always go back and forth with the writer through chat. Our Zapier integration also makes it easy to get updates on the apps you use most.<\/li><li><strong>You won\u2019t need to explain technical requirements<\/strong>. Thanks to our writers&#8217; experience, you won\u2019t have to explain your formatting needs more than once. They\u2019ll understand SEO requirements, what social posts need, how to create compelling landing page copy, etc.<\/li><li><strong>There are guarantees<\/strong>. Flocksy strives to develop long-term relationships with our clients and values our clients greatly. Should any disputed situations arise, we\u2019ll always work hard to resolve them. Moreover, we only work with qualified professionals, and if quality ever becomes an issue, you know we\u2019ll deal with it internally.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>An additional note about edits<\/em>: Freelancers may not offer revisions as readily as a content team. While it may be doable, it\u2019s not always clear how many revisions you can request. With a copywriting service, revisions will often be considered part of the process. Here at Flocksy, you\u2019ll get unlimited revisions to ensure your content is just how you want it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A copywriting team can make your words come to life. They understand how to write the best copy for any situation that will help make your company or brand look amazing while making it eye-catching for website visitors. Whether you have a big company or run a startup, a good content team can help you by writing engaging and informative content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re looking for a copywriting team to help your business, look to Flocksy for great content from highly-qualified professional copywriters.
