Today Scott explains how amazing instructions for your content writer can result in amazing content.

When you order content for your blog, web copy, or wheatever it may be, it’s important to remember that writers do not double as mind readers.

We have created an advanced order options area where you have the ability to provide detailed instructions to your content writer. These will get you on the road to having high quality content for your site!

Here’s a list of your options:

1. Keywords- SEO savvy? Here’s where you enter the list of keywords you want your writer to incorporate in the final product.
2. Target Audience- Providing your writer with the target audience allows them to adjust the tone of the content to cater to a specific niche.
3. Language- What language do you want your content written in?
4. Processing Time- Our algorithm is intuitive in that it auto calculates a processing time based on your word count. However, you can customize turn around time based on your deadlines.
5. Writer Point of View- You can choose from first person, second person, third person, or, let the writer decide.
6. Voice Tone- Do you want your content to be fun, informative, light-hearted, professional, serious, witty, or informative? The choice is yours!
7. Purpose of Content- Is the purpose of your content to entertain, promote, inform, or sell?
8. Call to Action- Do you want a call to action? You can choose from buy, sign up, or, find out more.
9. List of Main Benefits- If you want to put an emphasis on main benefits, here’s where you let your writer know.
10. Things to Avoid- Is there something in particular that should not be mentioned? It is common to ask writers to avoid using long paragraphs in this section.
11. Attachment- If you have more information in an attachment, feel free to upload it here.

These advanced options are just that- options! If you want to leave it up to your writer, don’t worry about using these options.

See you next week!

So much content, so little time! This week on Feature Friday, Clayton, explains how you can filter and organize your content from the Content tab in your account.

You have the ability to filter by content type, content quality, writer, or, by rating. It is also easy to search by date range. 

For example, if you want to place an order for product descriptions but you can't remember who your go-to writer were, you can filter by product description orders, and add a sub filter for content you rated as 'exceeded expectations' in the product description category.

Using this filter, you will see all the details from your previous product description orders that exceeded expectations.

These are great tools to have if you are a high volume customer and need to find a certain piece of content or a writer who you worked with in the past.

Check out the video for a quick overview of how to make the most out of your content tab!

With e-tailers prepping their content for the coming holidays, we thought we would do a Feature Friday on how to get bulk quantities of product description written from high quality writers.

We call this feature the bulk CSV upload tool. It allows you to uploaded huge quantities of SKUs that you received from the product manufacturer, or elsewhere. 

You have the ability to pick and choose which product descriptions you would like to have rewritten, or you can select all of them.

Once you have decided which descriptions are getting fresh content, you can provide instructions to your writer.

Once the order is placed, your writer takes care of it.

Just sit back, relax, and expect your descriptions to be returned to you within the deadline you chose.

Bigcommerce or Shopify user? We are partnered with both so you can quickly and easily order fresh description from within your account.

Once your writer has finished your order, you have the ability to upload the posts directly into your Hootsuite account using our Hootsuite integration.

This week is a bit different. Curtis focuses on how you can export large quantities of content all at once via csv or zip files.

These options are especially handy if you want to store your content on your desktop, or, if you are hosting your ecommerce store on a platform outside of Shopify or Bicommerce

Shopify or Bigcommerce store owner? We have you covered too!

We are so proud of our writers! They have been working hard writing fresh and relevant content for all areas of the internet. It’s about time we show off their skills!

We have created amazing profiles for each and every one of our writers. These profiles showcase their areas of expertise and keep their performance stats updated in real time, making it easier than ever to find the perfect content writer for your website.

Helpful information you now have access to:

1. Mini Bio- These were created custom by each writer. This area outlines their education, experience, and unique value to Stellar clients.
2. Quality Star Level– You can see whether the writer is 1,2,3, or 4 star quality level. This is determined by our rating algorithm that uses real time performance.
3. Category Badges– If the writer has badges at the top of their profile, it means they are among the top 10 writers in that specific category.
4. Testimonials and Recent Ratings– A real time ticker provides all recent ratings and reviews by clients.
5. Category Performance– This shows how many orders the writer has completed in a specific category. It also shows their average client rating (out of 5) for that category.
6. Writer Statistics- This area displays the number of words and orders the writer has written on the Stellar platform. It also shows how many orders the writer currently has in progress and their average words per hour (WPH).
7. Writing Samples- Part of the writer application process is providing us with a sample of their writing capabilities from a predetermined category. The writer sample shown in the profiles is from the application process.

It’s a win-win. Clients are now able to search through our ‘crowd’ of content writers and pick the one(s) whose qualifications best suit their content requirements. Writers now have their great work on display for potential clients to view.

We hope you enjoy this feature! Stay tuned for cool new features being released over the coming months!

Today's feature video explains how to order product descriptions for your Bigcommerce store.

The first step is to integrate your Bigcommerce store with Stellar. Now, anytime you place an order for product descriptions, the order form will automatically load the inventory from your Bigcommerce store. 

You can easily pick and choose which product descriptions you would like to have freshly written, or, simply, a re-write of what you are using.

It's common for e-tailers to receive inventory from the manufacturer with only a title attached to the product. In this case, you will order a fresh product description. You can choose your word count and provide any additional instructions to your writer.

If you have product descriptions from your manufacturer, you will want to create a product description re-write order. This is an SEO best practice every savvy e-tailer is conscious of.

Once your writers have completed your ordes, the descriptions can be uploaded directly into your Bigcommerce store. 

The best part? No copying and pasting!
