Bull**** writers

[jamoor]

Basically for our new website, I need someone to write a load of bull about how great we are, I would do it, but my English and bullshitting skills seem to be lacking.

Is there such thing as professional bullshit writers? Or do they have a fancy term?

Journalists I believe they're called, could be politicians come to think of it. I forget which.

You could try and search in your local area for a freelance copywriter. Don't think the term bullsh1t writer comes up with may results in Yell, even though it ought too...

You're not Gerald Ratner by any chance?

Well collectively they're called New Labour. Whether they contract out for work I don't know.

I'd try your local business link, or directory IIRC such creatures do exist, in the same vein as those people who can be hired to make annoying sales phone calls all day long.

What is important is not to write a load of BS about how great YOU are.

Website viewers typically only browse a site for a few seconds and you have to catch their attention in that time. Telling a buyer about your expansion or your fully automated billing system wont work that well.

A copywriter is what you need but they need to be focussing on what the *customer* can get and hook them long enough to make the right decisions.

I know a good copywriter, PM me if you'd like his number.

I do quite a bit of this, PM if you'd like to talk further

Thanks
