The best way to hire freelance writer is to look for freelance writer websites. Wondering how to pick a good freelance content writer among the hundreds of freelance writer resumes. Let me reveal a few secrets of finding the best freelance writers for your article writing, press release, website content, copywriting, article submissions, & other writing needs.
Check SEO writing skills of the freelance content writer
When it comes to writing for the web, the primary purpose of content writing is to rank high in search engines. Check if the freelancer writer website ranks high in Google. If it does, then you are at a good SEO writer’s website.
One other criterion to choose the best content writer is ability of the content writer to optimize the content for major search engines. Many of my clients ask me if a content writer can optimize the website content for Google as well as Yahoo. As an experienced content writer my answer is an assertive Yes!
A well experienced content writer adept in SEO techniques can and will optimize the content for both Google and Yahoo. Although it is possible for a content writer to optimize the written content for MSN as well, it is wise to limit the optimization to the two major search engines.
A good content writer will first analyze your web content and the kind of traffic you require. An experienced content writer can either to boost your sales or make your site receive more clicks with his content. At times it so happens that good freelance SEO writers that are not native English writers perform poor when it comes to writing human readable content.
Check for human readability of the content
The second step in locating your freelance writer is to check the freelance writer’s website for language skills. Language skills include perfect grammar, punctuation, rich vocabulary, the fine thread connecting the entire content, interesting, informative, and spell binding nature of the content written. Freelance writer’s qualification too is an important factor to determine the research capabilities of the freelance writer.
Check the researching capabilities of the content writer
The third step is to check the researching capabilities of the freelance writer. It’s a bit difficult to analyze the freelance writer’s website and come to a conclusion about the research skills of the freelancer. It is a good idea to get a sample content from the freelance writer on a topic of your choice. The wisest thing would be asking the freelancer to write on a topic you are in need of. By doing so, you can check the research capabilities of the writer as well as get your job done without wasting time. You can also pay for the article written as sample by the freelancer as a good will gesture. (The time spent and effort put in by the freelance writer should be honestly rewarded.)
