Content Writing Services: The Ultimate List

Writing services address one of content marketing’s top challenges: creating enough content to keep readers engaged and to provide real value for your audience. For most marketers it’s not possibleor desirableto create all the content you need in-house. Curata recommends a content mix of 65 percent created, 25 percent curated and 10 percent syndicated content. (source) This blend allows you build your credibility by collating expert outside perspectives for your audience, while lightening your production load and still offering significant, unique content.

Content curation is a great way to publish high quality, relevant content on a consistent basis. However, content curation can’t stand alone. Original created content is the linchpin of any content marketing strategy.

In organizations with limited staff and budget, content creation can fall by the wayside, or into the lap of marketers with their plates already full. To enlightened marketers, content marketing is no part-time job, and shouldn’t be treated as such. A successful content strategy that keeps potential buyers and customers engaged requires dedicated writers publishing content consistently.

What if an in-House Content Team Is out of Your Budget?

Outsourcing content creation to freelancers or agencies is a popular option for organizations with limited resources. Curata research found 17 percent of marketers are turning to freelance writers for high quality and relevant content. For companies unable to feed the content beast on their own, a content writing service may be a great option for the marketing team.

Below is a list of content creation services that can help get a content strategy off the ground, drive SEO, and improve engagement. It is divided into two broad categories: in-house writing services, and writer marketplaces. In-house writing services employ writers on staff; marketplaces connect you to a writer appropriate for a specific project. Keep in mind the lines can be blurred between the two types of writing services, and that this list is not comprehensive. It has been updated as of September 2017
