How To Hire A Freelance Writer

By Yolanda Reyes


It's not the easiest thing to do, leave us face it, but it will truly be worth it if you find a great freelance writer who can easily handle one of your major clients while the two of you work together as a team to churn out profit-generating articles like an ATM dispenses cash.

Since you may run into those overrated writers who go "this isn't my idea of creative writing" upon learning about what they have to do, you'll want to start with a small batch of articles first. Some writers may be good in one area yet need more work in other areas, and you should always remember that there are different types of writing, some of which may not be best for money making. For example, there is creative/fiction writing, biographical writing, news writing, general informational article writing, critical writing, copy-writing, poem/verse writing, technical writing, medical writing, essay/report writing, and sports writing. Freelance writers, for the most part, are jacks of all trades when it comes to writing, but are certainly preferable to a writer who is gaudy in one area but unable to work with others. So you have to keep this all in mind and relate your writer's skills to your content.

To find a freelance writer, you can look at various freelancing websites that will allow you to post the specification of your project and your budget.

Then you'll need to be on the lookout for those writing samples sent by writers around the world and see who fits your needs the best. The writer applying for the job has to send an article that matches what you are looking for. For instance, your requirements state you need somebody who can do ad copy about sports items like baseball collectibles. He or she may be an outstanding sports writer, but copy-writing is about selling (a product, service, or yourself) to your website visitors.

In summarization, if you are willing to pay top dollar for the best writers, then you can expect to get more bids from the best writers out there who can write in a conversational manner and perhaps turn potential customers into actual customers. These writers weren't born yesterday, as they know each article they write will only add more money to your coffers. So although $30 or more for a 500 word article may seem like a lot, when you think about the service they are providing you and the time and effort that they put into your piece, then you will realize that it really is not a lot for that one article. Don't settle for mediocrity for less, pay more for top quality writers and get dynamite articles that could earn your business a fortune.
