Well its a little (Ok it's a lot) overdue, but here you go guys and gals - REW now has a writing center.

Many of us struggle with creating / writing compelling content for our websites - here you can share your thoughts, ask your questions and help your friends write the best pages possible.

Article writing

What about article sharing? A lot of people like to exchange articles and in turn add content to their sites. Maybe make an area where people can post some articles that they have written?

Thumbs up Re: The writing center is now open

Thats a really good idea Ivy, we have really good mortgage related articles on our website. But sometimes its hard to come up with something to write or sometimes no time to write. It would be really nice to share and trade articles.

How about sales copy for offline marketing?

In terms of article "sharing" - that is actually more of a link development consideration, not writing - we are certainly going to have a section here for "Article Writing" ie how to write articles, how to choose topics that sort of thing - but in terms of organizing the distribution of articles that will go in the link development section (Dont get me wrong it is a great idea)

Offline Marketing / Sales copy is also a great idea - I just need to decide what to call it

We are in urgent need of a copywriter for some of our real estate clients in the Canary Islands, Spain. We write articles for our clients on a monthly basis based on keyword and keyword phrases that I research. We have been using several local copywriters with limited success. I would like to try outsourcing to a copywriter preferably with some real estate experience. Here is an example of some of our work http://www.wadyproperties.com/buying-guides.asp
