Wanna Pitch Me Your Content Writing Project? Read This First, Please.
Each week, well-intentioned ideas pop into my inbox. Ambitious business owners and content-needing marketers reach out to ask about my writing services. My usual follow-up includes asking for more details about their specific project, insight into their overall marketing plan and their process to collaborate with a freelance writer.
Often, my response is glossed over.
Um, we just need you to write something, they’ll say. Sure, but I need a little background on your audience, goals and why we are creating content, I mention.
Ahhh, makes sense, they reply.
Then, I explain the core documents that should be shared with a writer and workflow tips to get the best ROI for their content-creating dollars. And, now I’m sharing this basic information here too.
If you want to get on a professional writer’s busy calendar, be ready to collaborate.
In this blog post I’ll explore:
- What is a Content Plan?
- What Other Information Do I Need to Share With a Writer?
- How Can I Best Collaborate with a Freelance Writer?
