I see posts from freelance writers complaining about agencies asking for free test articles all the time. I truly feel for them as there are a lot of shady people in all industries nowadays, but as I also deal with freelance writers virtually every single day, I also have something to say on the matter. We have worked with hundreds of freelance writers over the last few years and as we always strive to offer the highest quality content to our clients, we have to ensure they can meet our high standards before we start working with them. The process continues as our Content Editors meticulously fact-check and proofread every piece of content before it is sent to our clients, but let’s focus on the onboarding process here. We ask all writers who apply to send us samples of their iGaming work and their rates, but we also require 1-2 test articles before we make a final decision. We have no way of knowing whether the samples they initially sent were actually written by them and not someone else or an AI tool, so we have to see how they perform in an actual test. This way we can check the quality of content, the flow, how well they incorporated client guidelines, their responsiveness, and most importantly, how they respond to feedback. If they check all of the above, but start getting defensive when constructive criticism goes their way, we don’t want to work with them. We always make it perfectly clear that this is a paid test and ensure the articles never take more than 1 business day to produce. I understand the writers need to make an effort, spend their time and it is not fair they are not compensated for it. What is more, we pay them even if we cannot use the test article, i.e. it does not meet our standards. Just as clients shouldn’t pay for under-par content, I don’t think we should pay for content that is clearly way below the required quality, but we still pay them as I’d rather lose some money (cost of doing business) than listen to the backlash of disgruntled writers who think everybody is out to get them. I realise that with so many layoffs nowadays, there are thousands of writers looking for work and there are some people and companies looking to take advantage of them. That is why it would be smart to ask around about the company advertising the job/gig you are interested in, and LinkedIn is a pretty good platform to perform a background check and ask any writers who used to work with them for their experiences. But, this doesn’t mean that all agencies are bad and that you should reject any test articles/tasks right off the bat. How else do you think they can be sure you are as good as you claim to be? If I had hired every writer who claimed they were an amazing writer, our agency would have gone bust a long time ago.

**There is Power in Inbound Marketing for Content Writers** Did you know you can land clients without actively applying for jobs? Yes, it's possible. In this post, I'll show you how I have been able to attract clients even without actively applying for jobs here on LinkedIn. When I turned to LinkedIn to find clients—after Upwork became a useless platform, I experimented with a couple of strategies. I applied for jobs, sending proposals almost daily, getting ghosted and a few replies that didn't get me any job. I have been doing this for a while now(outbound marketing), until recently when I saw a couple of posts here recommending inbound marketing. I have tried it and seen amazing results. Even if not huge, it's way better than when I used to reach out to clients with endless proposals. Want to try it? Here are five effective inbound marketing tactics that have helped me land clients without chasing at them. I’m still experimenting with the strategy to grow my client base. ✅Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile Ensure your LinkedIn profile is fully optimized to attract potential clients. Use a professional headshot, write a compelling headline that highlights your content writing expertise, and craft a detailed summary that showcases your skills, experience, and the value you bring to clients. Include relevant keywords to improve your profile's search visibility. ✅Share High-Quality Content and Personal Stories Regularly post valuable content that demonstrates your writing skills and industry knowledge. This could include blog posts, articles, writing tips, and industry insights. Sharing high-quality content positions you as an expert in your field and keeps your network engaged, increasing the likelihood that potential clients will reach out to you for your services. Sprinkle some personal stories to build emotional connection and resonate with your audience. ✅Engage with Your Network Actively engage with your LinkedIn network by liking, commenting on, and sharing relevant posts. Participate in discussions and provide thoughtful insights on topics related to content writing and marketing. Engaging with others increases your visibility and helps build relationships and trust with potential clients. ✅Publish LinkedIn Articles Use LinkedIn's native publishing platform to write and share long-form articles. These articles can delve deeper into topics relevant to your target audience, such as content strategy, writing techniques, and case studies. Publishing articles on LinkedIn can help you reach a broader audience and demonstrate your expertise more effectively. ✅Leverage LinkedIn Groups Join and actively participate in LinkedIn groups related to your target industries. Share your knowledge, answer questions, and contribute valuable insights. By being an active and helpful member of these groups, you can attract the attention of potential clients who may be looking for content writing services.

Not every piece of content will perform “well.” I say "well" because content performance is defined differently by different people: 1. A lot of reactions 2. A lot of comments 3. A lot of impressions 4. A lot of conversions If you define 'well' by any of these, then you must know that content has its highs and lows. Some days it’s great, and other days it slows. And that’s okay. Just don’t stress yourself. You still can hit your conversions with fewer reactions. You still can hit your goals with consistent content. If your content flops today, post the next day or at the next set time for you. Just put your focus into producing quality content, because that’s what matters most.

✏ Fixed pricing is popular with freelance writers but what's it based on?✏ While it can vary for every writer, here are 13 factors cited in the ATFW Income Survey of 346 writers: 1. 🔢 Word count: The estimated amount of words that will be required for the writing project. 2. 📥 Current demand: The level of demand a writer is currently receiving for their services and how that compares to the amount the writer can supply. 3. ⏳ Estimated time requirement: The amount of time a writer estimates a piece will take, often based on experience and research. 4. 💻 Number of revision rounds: The amount of revision rounds that are included in the price. 5. 💲 Market rate for the service: The going rate range for the writing type on the market. 6. 📈 Value of the project to the client: The amount of value the project will bring to the client (e.g. sales, revenue, reach, authority, etc.) 7. 📲 Number of interviews required: If the piece requires interviews, the amount that will be included in the price (and the length/depth of the interviews). 8. 📰 Type of content or copy: The type of writing and the channel it’ll be published on. 9. 📚 Subject complexity: The density/complexity of the subject matter. 10. 💵 Cost of outsourcing (when applicable): When writers outsource, the cost of hiring another contractor to complete a portion of the project. 11. 👩‍🎓 Level of expertise required: Does the writer have specialized expertise that the piece will require? 12. 😥 Anticipated level of stress: If a project sounds like it will trigger an undue stress response due to the scope, the client, etc., an additional charge may be added. 13. ⚡ Deadline: Rush deliveries can incur extra costs. It can be a complex process but gets easier with experience (and the tracking of past work). 📌 Is there anything you'd add?

Hi, freelance writers. Just so you know, I hate this for you- 1. Posting on LinkedIn haphazardly when you “feel like it” or “get inspired” because it doesn't lead to LEADS. 2. Beating yourself up when you write a post for 30 minutes and it gets 2 likes. 3. Wondering when it will be YOUR turn to get all the inbound leads that other writers get every week. 4. Learning from LI influencers who have a completely different business than yours and don’t know much about running+sustaining a freelance writing business. 5. Getting burned out from posting on LinkedIn because you don’t have a strategy and can’t keep it up while running a business. 6. Posting content that sounds like everyone else’s- wake up at 5 am, cold plunge, productivity tricks, and inspirational one-liners that don’t inspire anything. 7. Too much consumption and not enough creation. Feeling sick and tired of consuming repetitive content and having no energy left to create content of your own. ❤️I love this for you- 1. Writing and scheduling your content 30 days in advance according to an intentional strategy. 2. Measuring your content by the quantity and quality of leads generated per week. 3. Being okay with 2 likes on your post because you know that your ideal prospects are watching and you trust that your content is high-quality. 4. Learning from freelance writers like myself who run a full-time freelance writing business while creating high-quality LI content that generates leads. 5. Feeling energized and refreshed from consistently and creatively posting on LinkedIn while sticking to your strategy. Feeling pride in your LI game. 6. Honoring your content buckets and sticking to your lane while avoiding generic 5 am productivity and hustle bro kinda content. 7. Balancing content consumption with creation. Curating your feed to see other creators who will inspire you to write marketing content that elevates your brand. Turning your BS sensor on and staying focused on creation. If you’ve been thinking, planning, wondering, overthinking, or procrastinating about your LinkedIn content, let’s get you started. 👉 Join my 2-hour live workshop this Friday, Lead Generating LinkedIn Content for Freelance Writers. My inbound LinkedIn lead gen system that's getting me 15 leads/month. I’m sharing everything I know- I don’t have an upsell offer. You’ll walk away with content ideas, fully fleshed-out LI posts, and a repetitive system you can follow to write lead-generating content consistently.

Unpopular opinion - Passion won’t get you very far in content writing. A mistake most content writers make is believing that passion is good enough to make them successful. And they dish the buzzword in all their applications. I've been in the content game for seven years now and I can say without a doubt that passion isn't what you need to join the top dogs bandwagon. Don’t get me wrong, it definitely has its place—it’s like that initial rocket boost when you’re just getting started. But that will be the first or second year. That's the point when you're facing lots of rejections, editors are killing you with "harsh" feedbacks, but because you're passionate about writing, you don't throw in the towel. But it get's to a point where you need more than passion to survive. Why? - Every other writer is passionate (some even more than you) - The competition is stiff - Clients demands are increasing That's the point you need to go from a passionate writer to a growth-driven content writer. Read the next paragraph twice or thrice if you have to. Clients wants results, and being passionate about words doesn't give results. Having intellectual knowledge is the key. In short, go beyond words and have the mindset of an entrepreneur. Start asking yourself questions like: - How do I drive revenue for clients? - How do successful content teams work? - What's the impact of each piece I create for clients? - How do I differentiate myself from the crowd? Answering these questions should push you into a season of learning so you can become a better partner for clients. NB - Want thought-provoking posts like these for your LinkedIn profile or brand account? I've opened a LinkedIn content creation service for proffessionals and brands. Send me a DM and we'll jump on a quick call to discuss more.

A crypo writer A fintech writer A SaaS writer Etc. If you are writing copy for any technical field, dumb it down for their target audience. The goal is not to show off your technical proficiency. It's to answer ONE simple question for the target audiences:- What’s in it for me? Copy always comes later. It's the mental direction that comes first. #technicalcopywriting #contentwriting

"This #editor must think they're hot s###!" I know you've had this thought many, many times. How dare they correct your #writing? Who made them kings and queens of #content? What a nerve to make such suggestions. And what's with the crude language such as "change to", "add link", "correct typo"? And the red lines everywhere? Pffff! I know what you're thinking. You don't deliver content that has typos - but sometimes, you do. And I spot them miles away, unless they're mine! 😂 Please trust me when I say this: if someone is editing your work, they're out there to help you. Sure, they're helping themselves and their business first. But they are polishing up that content in a way that resonates with a bigger picture you, the #writer, sometimes don't realize. It's never personal. Well, it's RARELY personal. More often than not, the editor doesn't know the writer and may not even interact directly with them. What they have before them is a document that must attend to the company expectations. This week I'm editing someone's work. They know their stuff well, and I value that immensely, but the delivery is slightly off. There are occasions where there is no connection across some concepts, and some technical aspects can be improved. I believe in that person. I want him to succeed. I want US to succeed. The writer may hate me in the end. They're likely to come and visit my LinkedIn profile and think: "Pfff. Who made you king of content? How dare you? Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!" But I promise: I want him to succeed. His success is our success. So dear writers out there, this one's for you: I know it's not easy to take that feedback. But believe me, it's rarely personal. _________________________ I write about #iGaming and #contenmanagement in a #remotework universe. Follow me for a crying shoulder - you're not alone!

How I use PAS framework to write converting posts. Step by step break down (Take Note Guyss!!) 👉 Problem: I started the post by addressing the common issue faced by coaching call clients, that is they are not gaining clients from LinkedIn. This is a problem that the audience can relate to and force them to continue reading. 👇 (I'm not gaining clients from LinkedIn This is the top query of my coaching call clients.) 👉Agitate: Then I asked a few questions to the readers highlighting potential reasons for their lack of success on LinkedIn. By focusing on these aspects, the issue becomes more prominent and more pressing. 👇 (Before moving on to the next step I ask them these: ↳ Is your offer clear? ↳ Do you leverage content? ↳ Are you adressing your audience's pain points? ↳ Are you showing what measures you adopt to help them? And 95% of them are not doing any of the above.) 👉Conviction (building your authority): Once I made them aware of their problem and showed them the reasons why they were staying behind. Now I had to show them the possible solution. But before that I have to build my authority this is where I made a conviction by adding these lines: 👇 (So I teach them to think of these two before getting clients: 1. Why would they follow? 2. What value is being provided by you? I help them adapt to what their audience wants. And then they watch the conversions slide in.) 👉Solutions: After building my authority I showed them the solution I offer along with its benefits. 👇 (If you also struggle with getting clients, Get yourself Power Up Coaching Call with me: ✅A complete LinkedIn profile audit with suggestions (3 FREE Headlines) ✅A customized content strategy to attract your ideal clients. ✅Live EXAMPLES of how I send cold DMS that get results. ✅A proven networking strategy with all my secrets. ✅Answers to all your questions and doubts. ✅Post reviews and feedback.  ✅WhatsApp support. Plus bonus materials to figure out LinkedIn 10 times quicker.) 👉Action: Concluded it with a strong call to action, urging readers to book a consultation by providing a link for them to follow. 👇 Book THE CONSULTATION→ ............................ And Wooo! You are all set to write converting posts! ---------------------------------------------------- P.S. I help coaches and founders convert more clients through content and design. DM me to book a Discovery Call!

At 9 pm last night, a client emailed me with a simple request: she wanted my help polishing up a personal LI post so that she could publish it this morning. I cracked open my laptop, and within 15 minutes, I sent her a publish-ready LI post that left her very happy. Here's the thing - my clients are CEOs who work evenings and weekends. I choose to work with driven and successful leaders, so I, too, work a non-traditional schedule. If I can accommodate client requests, I make a point of doing so, all the more for significant issues. It is generous and practical—it alleviates client stress and prevents me from kicking a can down the road. In turn, they pay me extraordinarily well, refer me to executives in their circle, and happily commit to retainer agreements. Keeping odd hours comes with the territory if you want to earn excellent pay and work with top leaders. Be flexible and work hard, and the rewards will follow. #clientcentric #ceolife #flexibility #worklifebalance

4,00,000 per month SALARY Expectations for the role of Content Writer!! 😱 That's what I received in response to the answer to the screening questions of our Content Writer Job Post. Now, I don't want to argue if the Content Writer role can give this much money or not. Or if a Content Writer in Jaipur would be paid this much or not? Who knows if a company is actually offering that? BUT, We mentioned our Salary range in the Job Description which is way too low than what was expected. We make our Job Descriptions detailed enough to eliminate the overqualified & underqualified people along with other filters so that we have to look and reject fewer people. Yet, so many unfit people apply for the same. I get it, you have to apply to hundreds of jobs. You don't really read job description as it might be a waste of time if you don't get selected for it. So you apply even if you are not fit to increase your chances. And I do not criticize anyone doing that. But, this is the sole reason that I put very odd screening question (marked in red) In the high HOPE, that it would get their attention. But NO, nothing can get our attention at all!! I even had applicants who came for an interview. They didn't read the job description even then. I asked them to read in front of me. All their facial glow was gone because they found that they didn't have the niche-relevant experience. Applying for jobs blindly doesn't increase your chances of getting a job, what it sure does is increase your dissatisfaction and frustration because of not getting a job after applying at so many places. Don't you think? With that being said, we are hiring for a Content Writer role and I have given all the possible details in the Job Description. If you are looking for a job in the Content Writing field, find the JD in the link in the comments. Only apply if you feel fit after reading JD. Tag someone who you think could be a fit and would take time to read the job description.
