Creative Content Writer

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Hiring a writer is a lot like dating. You'll hit it off, or you won't. Much of working with a good writer has to do with your personality, work style and work schedule. Be very clear in what you expect and assign only one or two articles to test a potential writer. If you like what you see and the completed product was delivered in a professional manner, move forward. If the first assignment isn't what you wanted, cut your losses and move on. The writer who produces exactly the kind of content you need is waiting to hear from you!

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. The most difficult thing to make clients understand is the enormous amount of time consumed in posting to blogs. The writing itself is only half the battle. Posting requires a sense of aesthetics, a knowledge of SEO best practices, understanding which images work best to attract the reader's eye, and patience when the client's server runs slow.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. If you ask a writer how he or she spenders her average work day, you'll gain valuable insight into work ethic, organization skills and professionalism.

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. Do you have a URL that provides a good example of what you are looking for? That's the best way to show a writer what you want.
