Tips For Seeking A Professional Writer For Hire

By Roger Young


Hiring a writer is a big decision since the person will serve as a persona reflection of your brand. If they do a good job, this will reflect well on your or your company but if they do a bad job, you will be the one to be embarrassed. That is why you should find the best author possible. Here are some of the things you should know when you are looking for a professional writer for hire.

Find out how much experience the person has. Preferably, go for someone who has experience in writing the topics that you are interested in. A specialized person will do a much better job than someone who writes anything and everything. You also need to know how long they have been writing. This depends on how hard the topic is. Newbie's can tackle easy topics, while more advanced topics require more experienced authors.

Before you employee someone, test them first. You can do this by giving them a sample project to work on. If they excel at the task, then you know that they are a keeper. If they do a bad job, move on to someone else, until you find someone who can deliver quality work. Also, give someone small tasks at first and if they do well, slowly increase the amount of work assigned to them starting off by giving someone huge amounts of work before testing them is bound to fail.

Price is a vital consideration. The price ranges vary so much that you are sure to find someone who fits within your budget. However, just know that if you want quality work, you should be willing to pay for it. Most good authors won't accept low pay.

You want someone who is available to work and meet your deadlines. If you have lots of projects, go for a full time expert, who has lots of time to write. If your deadlines are not so tight, you can get someone who works on a part time basis.

Decide whether you want to get someone long term or short term. If you are planning to give them long term work, you can choose to pay them on a monthly basis. If you want someone short term, pay them whenever they complete a project. You might even choose to employ an author on a full term basis, if you have lots of work.

Explain to the person what you expect from them. Do you expect them to just write or perform other functions as well? This might include designing power point presentations and looking for images that go with your articles. Define the scope of the project. However, it might be unfair for you to expect an author to posses other skills, such as graphic designing or web designing. Get other people to do these tasks for you.

Post great job descriptions when you are posting job ads looking for an author. A well written description increases your chances of finding the right person for the job. This is because it will attract the right people and weed out the ones who don't meet your requirements.
