It Can't Just Be Me, Can It?

Managing a small team of writers. Asked one for revisions stating that the content can't be generic. It was taken as an opportunity to renegotiate pricing. Surely, tiered pricing only works when there's a base level of quality standards to build on. Too much to ask these days?

You would think, I think hiring writers is becoming a lost art because of AI (as 99% of them are using it). You are better to use AI, and platforms that can help you create high quality output right away, and then spend your time (or your outsourcing) getting people to polish and fine tune your content.
It sure is Kyle. In this case, it's been the clients doing. If the content passed Originality.ai, (easy to do) it was original content and published. Too trusting. Took each writer's word that they were 'expert'.
The one who was trying to renegotiate, turns out, lives in London. It has the highest living costs in the country. Got a buffer rate agreed with the client as they seem capable and willing. See what comes back on the revised piece.
Put a PDF guide together explaining the project brief, and a "how to" get the work done faster, and smarter, sent it out on Monday, and what a difference in quality. Think it's just been clarity - and laziness to a degree - that's been holding things up.
The writers have responded to a basic job ad, just saying 'I can do that" without asking what 'exactly' needs doing and why. Now they know. Client's left me to it.
He's been doing the office work during the day, then editing content on the website since January until crazy hours. Now, he's doing marketing - the stuff to get the money in.
Hopefully, it'll be plain sailing soon!
