When you are ready to hire your first content writer, then be prepared to spend a little time with it because it may take some time to find the right person. This is done thousands of time each day on the net, so it is not some esoteric process. But for first time outsourcing tasks, it is in your best interest to learn a few of the ropes so your chances of making the best decision is much greater. The article below discusses three such things to help you make a better decision during the hiring process.
Sometimes finding the right combination of affordable talent with the portfolio to prove it is tough, but it is worth looking for that person. However, as you know there are talented people just starting out and obviously cannot show you much, but that will always entail some risk on your part. So in order to establish the quality and credibility of work, you should ask your potential writer for samples. This would give you a clear idea about the quality and how much you should be paying. If you want to go a step further, you can even ask your content writer to whip up a sample article for you on the topic of your choice, so that you get a live example of how he/she would be working with you. A good writer who is confident of his/her work won’t have a problem complying to this small request. Just remember that if you want $1 articles, then you will get content that is worth that much or even less. In other words, the kind of quality you get from your content writer depends on how much he/she is charging. Now, that certainly doesn’t mean that you should see the price as the only judging criteria, but you should keep in mind that a good content writer will never come cheap. Some experienced writers charge close to one hundred and more, and of course you will find others selling articles for ninety-nine cents. Besides, you want to work with someone who believes in their work, and those who do will know their worth.
There is nothing wrong with inquiring about any reduced fees for very large content orders. Just be flexible on your end too, and it is best if the work you need has some overlap so the writer is not working for peanuts. Besides this, also ask your content writer whether you’d get a special discount if you can refer other people to him/her. Perhaps the best thing to do is figure out your budget and what you want to pay a writer, and then go from there.
Do your due diligence at all times with outsourcing anything including content writers. You can try to not make any mistakes, but do not get upset if you do make some. It naturally depends on what you want, and some people knowingly hire cheap writers who deliver poor content, so who are we to tell you what to do other than always go with quality – just our opinion.
