Writers: Write Faster, Better, and Make More Money
Dear Writer,
If you rely on any amount of research to provide fact-based, credible, and believable content in
what you write, this report will show you how to write faster, better, and as a result make more
money... All while eliminating one of the most tedious tasks you face on every writing project.
Almost every writer can earn more by writing more. Freelancers who are paid by the project or
based on results can significantly increase their income as soon as tomorrow by writing faster.
And if you're an author, editor, or other content writer, writing faster will help you produce
more content, and earn more as a result. Even staff writers can make themselves more
valuable and open up more opportunities for career advancement by being prolific.
In this report you're going to learn the one thing you can do to speed up your writing time by
25% or more -- which means you can write 25% more, and earn 25% more as well.
Not only that, what you learn will also help you improve the credibility and believability of your
writing. You'll be able to back up every point you make with more facts, scientific proof, and
credibility to support your message. This keeps your readers engaged -- and can help you
better persuade your readers to adopt your point of view or take action based on what you
write. (This is especially important for improving the results of sales copy.)
And the good news is, this is surprisingly easy to do. You're not going to have to go through a
crash course in speed writing, adapt your writing to awkward writing formulas, or rely on a
writing coach to help you get through every project.
No, it's much simpler than that.
Please read my full report, and if you have questions you can see my contact information in the
footer below -- feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email to connect.
Thank you,

Part 1: How Hiring A Researcher Adds Speed And Credibility To Your Writing
Most good writing starts with information. If you're writing anything of much length, you can't
rely on conjecture and hyperbole to carry you through. You need proof and credibility
elements. Things to talk about. Additional sources that will help you make your point. Quotes
from recognized experts. And any other reference you can find that will flesh out your claims
and promises -- and on which you can build a compelling case for what you're saying.
What kind of information strengthens your writing? Well here's a short list:
Media mentions of the idea, product, or subject you're writing about
Prestigious publications talking about your subject
Scientific studies to back claims
Scientists' opinions related to claims
Charts, graphs, and graphics
Real or implied expert endorsements
Real or implied celebrity endorsements
Quotes from credentialed sources
Process information, or how things work
Other highly-specific supporting information
And that's just getting started.
Whether you're writing sales and advertising copy, a nonfiction book or article, or even a piece
of fiction, having some or all of this information to draw from gives your writing heft. It gives
you things to talk about that aren't just claims and vague ideas. And it helps you write faster,
because when you know exactly what you're going to talk about it's easy to find what to say.
But here's the thing ...
It takes time to find the information you need!
There is tons of information out there. According to Google, the Web has already exceeded 1
trillion unique web pages (it’s estimated they index about 15 billion of those pages for search
purposes). There are millions more pages created daily.

And many of those pages contain credible source information you can use to enhance your
writing.
Though if you want to focus your efforts on where you provide the most value (which is a
proven way to earn more as a writer), you don't have time to sift and sort through billions of
web pages to find just the right proof, credibility, references and other information to include in
what you write.
That's where I come in.
The problem I described above is not new. Writers have faced it for years. Though now you
have a good solution to the problem. And that's to hire me to do the research for you.
What I do is specialize in helping you dig up information -- proof, credibility, quotes, ideas, and
more -- you can use in your writing projects.
Further, I specialize in helping copywriters and others who need a high level of believability in
their writing to find just the right resources to back up your ideas and claims so you'll have
maximum persuasive power.
Not only do I know where to find good information on the internet -- I know why you need it.
So I can pick out just the right resources for you to use.
That way, instead of you eating up precious writing time as you dig through thousands upon
thousands of pages of mostly irrelevant content, you get just the cream of the crop research
targeted to your specific needs. So as you write, all you have to do is pull a statistic here, an
idea there, a quote over there, and a piece of evidence here and you have well-backed writing
that moves and persuades.
By bringing me in to help with research, you free up what previously took 25% or more of your
writing time. This is like new time in your day that you can then use to work on other projects,
and earn more by doing so. (Or this gives you extra time off to enjoy yourself, or spend with
your family.) All while improving the strength of your writing.

Part 2: What Can I Expect From A Researcher?
Okay, so you're playing with the idea of bringing me in as a researcher to help you with your
writing. It sounds like a good idea, and you see how it could help you write better, and faster,
too. Yet you may be wondering what you'll actually get from me -- what's the deliverable -that you can use as you write.
Well, to some degree that's up to you. If all you need is a credible quote to support the use of
glucosamine and chondroitin in managing joint pain, I can dig up a list of five to pick from. If
you want the story of someone who's owned Berkshire-Hathaway stock for at least ten years,
you can ask me to find that person.
Or, if you need a resource reference guide for writing an entire piece on investing in the hottest
wind energy stocks, you can rely on me to deliver you pages and pages of information on wind
energy industry history and trends, and the companies that are major players to watch.
If you're going to ask me to go all out, you can expect some variation on what I call a Research
Deliverable Document. This is a Word document that contains the best, most-focused stories,
quotes, and other resources on your topic, complete with source information (in most cases
this is a website link). In order to find this information, I've searched far and wide, and sorted
and sifted through all the results out there to provide you with the most-relevant information
to meet your research request.
This document becomes your proof and credibility goldmine as you write. When you need a bit
of information, you can either browse the document or do a "find" to look for all potentially
relevant facts, quotes, and other information. Then you just reference, cite, or quote (using the
information I've shared in the document) and keep rolling on your writing.
Because I've taken all the hard work out of finding this information for you, you can write
better, faster with the Research Deliverable Document I provide.

Part 3: What's The Process For Working With A Researcher?
Now that you know what I deliver, let's talk about the actual process of us working together.
The process can actually be pretty simple. First, we talk and decide if we're a fit, and we'll
settle on a fee (my typical fee is $50 per hour, and I can work with you on a per-project budget).
Then I'll give you something called a Research Request Document. When you fill out this
document, you'll be giving me the direction I need to dig up the most helpful research for your
project.
I'll then take what you've given me in the Research Request Document, and start my search. As
I find relevant information, I'll start to build a Research Deliverable Document with what I find.
If there are any snags or hiccups, I may ask you a question -- though you can count on me to be
pretty hands-off.
Once I feel I've exhausted my resources and am not finding anything new -- or once I reach your
set time limit and budget for the project -- I'll share the Research Deliverable Document with
you. This will contain the most relevant references, articles, and other information I've culled
down from the vast expanse of information and web pages out there -- all with source
information for your further reference.
You'll also get an invoice for my research time. You can pay this yourself, or if you're doing the
writing project for a client or publisher, you can prearrange with your client to have them pay
my invoice in addition to your project fee. (If you wish for me to bill your client directly, please
put me in touch with your contact prior to the start of our project for confirmation.)
