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.

TGIF! Today on Feature Friday, Curtis demonstrates how to order Facebook posts for your company page.

Our qualified writers can create creative and engaging Facebook posts that are unique to your business and industry.

You have the ability to provide basic or detailed instructions for your writer. Additionally, to give your writer an idea of what you like, you can show example pages of businesses who have done a killer job on their Facebook posts.

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.

Happy Friday! This week Curtis reveals the many ways you can export your content from within your Stellar account.

You have a number of different options to choose from.

1. Copy HTML – Content formatted in HTML. This is a great tool if you are placing your content on your website.

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!

Check out the video for step by step instructions!

Stellar is excited to announce our first ever refferal program!

Once you are in the referral tab, you will have access to a unique link. You can share this link on your social media, website, or via email with your friends. 

You can track your referrals in the My Referrals tab from within your account.

Today, Curtis walks us through how to connect the Stellar app to your Bigcommerce store.

When you are at your dashboard in your Bigcommerce account, there is an apps icon in the top left corner.

After clicking on that icon, a list of apps will appear. Once you find the crowd content app, click install.

You’re good to go! Your Bigcommerce store is now synced with Stellar.

In a few weeks, we will demonstrate how to create and manage amazing content from within your Bigcommerce account.

Feature Friday this week is hosted by our CTO, Matt Martin. He demonstrates how you have the ability to review, rate, and request revisions on your content.

Once a writer completes your content, they submit it to you for review. After reading it over, you have couple of options.

If you are happy with your content, you can rate and accept it right away.

After reviewing it, if you decide that you would like changes made, you can request unlimited revisions for up to 3 days.

We use gamification to constantly rank our writers. If they are recieving good ratings, their quality level will reflect this in real time.

Fresh, relevant content is so important for search engine ranking, telling your brand story, and building a loyal customer base. We are commited to getting you the content you are looking for!
