The general phases and guidelines that clients should be aware of before working with me: Project Initiation: This phase involves initial discussions and consultations to understand the client's requirements, goals, and target audience. It's essential to have clear communication about project scope, deadlines, deliverables, and any specific guidelines or preferences the client may have. Research and Planning: I typically conduct thorough research to gather relevant information and ensure accuracy and credibility in their writing. This phase may involve analyzing competitors, industry trends, keywords, and target audience preferences. It's important for clients to provide any available resources or access to relevant information to support the research process. Content Creation: Once the research and planning phase is complete, I will start creating the actual content according to the agreed-upon deliverables. This may involve writing articles, blog posts, web copy, social media updates, or any other requested content. The content writer should adhere to the client's brand voice, style guidelines, and formatting requirements. Review and Revision: After completing the initial draft, the content writer will submit the content to the client for review. The client should carefully review the content for accuracy, clarity, tone, and alignment with their requirements. Feedback and revisions may be requested at this stage, and it's important for clients to provide clear and constructive feedback to ensure the content meets their expectations. Finalization and Delivery: Once the revisions are incorporated and the content meets the client's satisfaction, I will finalize the deliverables. The content will be proofread, edited, and prepared for delivery in the agreed format (e.g., Word document, Google Doc, HTML, etc.). The final content will be sent to the client within the agreed-upon timeframe or according to the project schedule. Guidelines for clients working with me; Clear Communication: Maintain open and clear communication throughout the project, providing detailed briefs and promptly responding to inquiries from me. Clearly communicate your requirements, expectations, and any specific guidelines or preferences. Provide Necessary Information: Fill me with any relevant information, such as brand guidelines, target audience demographics, access to existing content or resources, and desired outcomes. This will help me understand your business and create content that aligns with your goals. Timely Feedback: Provide timely feedback on the content drafts and revisions. This helps to refine their work and deliver content that meets your expectations. Prompt feedback ensures the project stays on track and avoids unnecessary delays. Respect Deadlines: Adhere to agreed-upon deadlines and provide any necessary information or approvals promptly. This allows me to manage their workflow effectively and ensures timely delivery of the final content. Constructive Feedback: Provide specific and constructive feedback to guide me clearly communicate what changes or improvements you would like to see, as this will help the writer better understand your preferences and refine the content accordingly.
