Detailed Steps to Getting Good Freelance Writers

At this point, you are probably convinced that you need a ghostwriter for your blog.

Here are a few tips that can help you get a competent one.

1. Get them to do a short sample work

When most writers apply for jobs, they may be using the work of other bloggers or freelance writers to do so.

In order to confirm their capability, ask them to do a test article before you consider working with them.

2. Google the name of the freelance writer you are considering.

Most freelance writers have professional publications or personal blogs.

Check out their work to see if it would fit into your goals.

3. Have options

Relying on only one freelance writer may not be healthy for your blog. You should get two or three of them that are capable enough to deliver outstanding articles for your blog.

These freelance writers should not only be able to deliver quality posts but do so in a timely manner.

It is advisable to compile a list of five freelance writers when accepting applications. This way, you can select the best and drop the rest.

4. Consider what you want before looking

Before getting freelance writers for your blog, ensure you know exactly what you want. Some freelance writers can write daily, weekly, or monthly articles. You just need to consider what you are looking for before going out to search for one.

5. Search for a freelance marketplace you can trust.

There are lots of freelance marketplaces that can offer professional writers for your blog. You can either search for their portfolios on these platforms or post a writing job that they can see and apply for.

You can get lots of freelance marketplaces on the net; an example of them is Fiverr and Upwork. You just have to visit one of them and get a professional writer for your blog.

Great Tutorial, Israel. I love doing my own content writing at the moment; however, I will need to hire one to make the monthly quota. At the moment, with working, I manage to do one for each site a week. That's 3 a week.

Where does the number 18 articles per month come from?

Hey Lea, did you mean how do you get 18 quality articles published on your blog monthly? Or did I get you wrongly?

Where do you take such a number that there are 18 articles a month to publish it o a bit much?

Oh, thanks for the clarification, Lea! There's no specific number given to anybody on how many posts to be written and published monthly, but based on the research study data by HubSpot, companies that publish 16 or more blog posts monthly got four times the traffic those with less posts monthly got.

Also, deep research and experience (including my WA tutorials) showed clearly that with a reasonable number of quality articles published monthly, indexing occurs so frequently and the blog attracts search engines more and more, leading to more traffic and revenue. This may be a poor-quality answer, but I am happy it's giving me amazing results by the day. Thanks again!

In case you're still doubting my weak response, do not hesitate to investigate the HubSpot's research study data.

I am doing the opposite and becoming a freelance writer to top up my wages. Am hoping that the extra content and copywriting skills I learn along the way will make a big difference to my own blog.
