What should I know about the writer's style?
Learn about the writer's style to see if it matches your needs. Some writers use simple words, while others use fancy language. Make sure it fits your project's voice. Look at samples of their past work to check this.
How do I decide on the project goals?
Clearly define what you want the writing to achieve. Do you need to inform, entertain, or persuade people? Write down these goals, so the writer knows exactly what to aim for. This can help avoid misunderstandings later on.
What should I include in the project brief?
A good project brief has details about the topic, audience, and tone. Specify the piece's length and any key points to include. The more precise you are, the easier it'll be for the writer to deliver what you need.
How do I set a timeline for the project?
Decide when you need the finished work and think about how much time it should take. A good timeline also includes space for feedback and revisions. Talk with the writer to ensure the deadline is realistic and everyone agrees on it.
What role do revisions play in the project?
Revisions let you fine-tune the writing until it’s just right. Decide how many rounds of edits are included in the project. Talk about these before the project starts, so the writer knows what you expect.
How do I communicate with the writer during the project?
Establish a communication plan with the writer from the start. Decide if you’ll use email, video calls, or chat messages. Regular check-ins help keep everyone on the same page and the project on track.
How can I ensure the content is unique?
Ask the writer to confirm the originality of their work. Using unique content helps protect your brand. Keep an eye on the quality by reviewing work closely and suggesting changes if needed.
How do I agree on the final deliverables?
List exactly what you want from the writer. This can include things like the number of articles, edits, or extra materials like images. Make sure the writer understands and agrees to these before starting.
How do I handle feedback and edits?
Be clear and constructive with your feedback. Tell the writer what you like and what needs fixing. This helps them do a better job and makes sure the final result meets your expectations.
