Hiring a reliable and mind-reading freelance writer can be a pretty much daunting task in the fly-by-night world of internet. Though there are hundreds of embellishing portfolios of different writing companies and individual writers, yet selecting a writer who can produce content matching your expectations 100%, is a tough row to hoe. Actually, this abundance makes selection even more mind boggling. However, following are some guidelines for hiring a writer on the internet.
There are two major categories of writers that you may encounter: head-down writer and chameleon writer. Now which one of them should you hire? Not sure? Read the rest of the article and you will get your answer.
A head-down writer is one who simply starts working on the information you provide him, no matter how insufficient, and finishes the assignment. In other words, he has a rigid and unyielding nature. In this case, you need to be extremely lucky to get an ideal output as more often than not, the content is opposite to what you are looking for. The reason is that the writer followed his personal understanding more than following your guidelines. It is quite possible that he has produced a gem, but it will be worthless if it is not what you wanted. So obviously, this is not the type you will be interested in.
On the other hand, a chameleon writer can take on a tone and style exactly as required by their clientele. This quality endows him ultimate suppleness and flexibility. If you want to get the desired results from your writer, this is the type you should choose.
How to differentiate between these two types is quite easy. If the writer asks you the following questions after you contact him, he is a chameleon writer.
•What is the estimated word count?
•What are the desired keywords?
•What should be the keyword density?
•What tone and style do you want? If possible, can you point out to a few articles on the internet in the tone and style you want?
•How much promotion do you want in the article?
•Is there any explicit geo-target?
If your writer asks you such questions, you have got your man. After you answer these questions, the writer may come up with his recommendations, if any. And now, when you have cut the deal, the writer delivers you the first draft, you give your feedback and, ideally, everything runs smoothly here on.
