Do
You Have Great Ideas?
Really Want To Share Your Thoughts
And Feelings?
Concerned That You Just Don't
Write Well Enough?
If you answered yes, then you might need our content editing
services.
Content or copy editing includes
standard spelling, grammar and typing correction as well as making
sure your content is easy to read, so visitors get the message
the first time.
Poorly or inaccurately worded content
can create confusion for visitors prevent purchases or create
customer service issues. Since the anonymous nature of the internet
prevents you from utilizing many of the traditional “brick
and mortar” trust-building strategies, your site must radiate
professionalism. Good editing can provide maximum credibility
to your site.
Nobody wants to look bad in front
of other people. So, we make sure that you will look your best
in your writing without changing your thoughts, your ideas or
your individual way of expressing yourself.
Let's look at An Example Of
Content Editing
One of our clients had a member submit an article
for their online newsletter. The paragraph below is an excerpt
from the original submission:
"This ride was terrific; me
and hubby and no plans; did what we wanted; stayed as long as
wanted and left when ready. Locals suggested we visit the kinzua
bridge; headed toward allegheny forest. Bridge built of iron
in 1882; it's the highest railroad bridge in the world."
This is how it looked after content
editing:
"This ride was terrific,
just me and my husband with no plans. We just did what we wanted,
stayed for as long as we wanted and left when we got ready.
Some locals suggested we visit the Kinzua Bridge (Iron Bridge).
So we headed towards the Allegheny Forest. The bridge was built
of iron in 1882 and was the highest railroad bridge in the world."
As you can see, we did not change
the author's ideas or way of expressing herself. She was very
pleased with how her article looked in the newsletter. We also
added a link to some pictures of the bridge at a website about
the historic bridge.
How Do You Charge?
Most companies charge around $10 per page for content
editing and they define a "page" as 500 words. 500 words
is not really a very big page.(Note:
There are 293 words on this page to the end of the previous sentence)
We prefer to charge by the hour because we believe
that you should get what you pay for and only buy what you need.
If you are a pretty good writer, why should you pay the same amount
as a really poor writer?. For example, the article that the excerpt
above was taken from contained 1136 words. It took a little less
than an hour to edit the article and another 15 minutes to locate
the pictures on the web so we could add the links. Most other
editing services would have billed for 3 pages and would not have
looked up the picture links. We billed for 1 hour.
