What should I include in the job description to attract a great content writer on Contra?

Be clear about what you need. Mention the type of content, like blogs, articles, or social media posts. Give some examples of the style you like. List the skills you think are needed, such as SEO or storytelling. Be honest and detailed so the writer knows if they’re a good fit.

How can I assess a content writer's fit with my project?

Look at their past work. Check their portfolio for pieces similar to what you need. Read customer reviews to see if others liked their work. Sometimes, the writer will understand your brand and audience, which is a big plus. You want someone who writes in a voice that matches your needs.

What are deliverables, and how should I define them?

Deliverables are what you get at the end. For a content writer, this could be a blog post, a series of articles, or social media updates. Make sure you are clear about the number of items and their length. Tell them about any specific details you want included. Defining deliverables helps everyone know what to expect.

What deadlines should I set for a content writing project?

Decide when you need the work finished. Writers need time to research and write. Set a deadline that gives them enough time to do a good job. Think about stages if it’s a big project, like first draft and final draft deadlines. Being fair with time helps get better work.

Why is it important to discuss the target audience with the content writer?

The content needs to speak to the right people. Telling the writer about your audience helps them choose the right words. They can match the tone and style to what the audience likes. If the writer knows who they're writing for, they can create content that connects better.

How can I ensure the content aligns with my brand's voice and tone?

Share some of your existing content. Give the writer examples of the tone you prefer. Discuss your brand's personality. If you have brand guidelines, share them with the writer. This helps the writer understand how to keep their work consistent with your brand.

What role does feedback play in working with a content writer?

Giving feedback helps make the content better. Tell them what you like and what you want to change. Be clear and specific about any revisions. A good writer will use your feedback to make the content just right. Both giving and receiving feedback is an important part of the process.

Should I ask for a trial piece before starting a big project?

Yes, a trial piece can show you their skills. It's a smaller task to see if they understand your needs. It helps you know if the writer is a good match for larger work. If they do well on the trial, it might mean they’re ready for more significant tasks. Just make sure the trial is simple and fair.

Why should I agree on revisions and iterations beforehand?

Agreeing on revisions helps avoid surprises. Talk about how many revisions are included in the job price. This helps to know what happens if the first draft needs changes. Clear plans make sure both you and the writer understand how to make the content perfect. Setting this up from the start makes things smoother.
