Stupid idea.
Copywriting is a complicated process. It's not just putting words down on paper. You can't pick a headline from here and a guarantee from there.
It's 80% research and 20% writing.
For longer copy, and mid sized copy, just wont work.
BoostCTR.com has a site where people compete on writing adwords copy, quick easy, already in the mix, and they don't get paid unless they increase conversions.
I hire copy writers, and I wont pay them a dime (Paid as low as 200 bucks and As high as 10K) unless I see previous work, talk to previous clients, and I know they have improved conversions.
If it were a 99 designs deal, there is nothing stopping someone from swiping all the copy that comes in, and cobble together a whole sales page. free.
now direct performance based copy/ad based pay, for someone comeing in and testing for you, is a cool idea, like boostctr. if I had someone who could come in, and do either landing pages, or graphics/copy for the ppv market, I would love to get people testing conversions on 100 click 1000 view type tests. where I am already testing against a control. that would rock. but getting copywriters to do A TON of work, for a huge chance of getting ripped off, no pay, and no work. prob not. besides the better copy writers are in pretty high demand, and most are with busy schedules now. I have to get 1-2 months advance notice before I get some people to write stuff I need.
that's my 2 cents anyway.
