Start by telling the writer what you want in the blog. Explain the topic clearly. Share any important keywords to use, like 'India tourism' if it’s about travel in Maharashtra. Mention how long the blog should be. Tell them when you need it.
What should be the timeline for a blog writing project?
Decide how soon you need the blog. Give the writer a fair time to plan and write. Maybe you can agree on a week for a short article or two weeks for something longer. Remember to include time for making changes. This helps everything stay on schedule.
How do I establish clear deliverables for my project?
List what you expect the writer to do. Maybe you want one or two drafts before the final blog. Decide if you need pictures or other media. Be clear if you expect research, like facts about Mumbai. Decide how many changes you want them to make if changes are needed.
How should I evaluate the initial samples?
Look at the blog samples they send you. Check if they use interesting words and keep the reader excited. If they're writing about Pune, see if they talk about the city well. Make sure the samples match your style. This helps you know they can write what you need.
Is it important to discuss the target audience with the writer?
Yes, tell the writer who will read the blog. They write differently for grown-ups and kids. If your project focuses on Maharashtra, explain why people in the area should care. This helps them pick words and ideas that match the readers.
How do I agree on a communication plan during the project?
Plan how often to talk with the writer. Decide if you’ll use messages or emails. You can agree to check in after each big change. Make sure the writer knows when to ask questions. Good communication helps the project succeed.
What should I include in the project kick-off meeting?
Start by saying 'hello' and talk about the fun parts of the project. Share your ideas about the blog, like if there’s a special Maharasthra festival to mention. Check if you both understand the timelines and deliverables. Be open to their ideas too. This helps start the project with excitement.
