By on Feb 7th, 2012

If you have a writing project that needs the touch of a professional, hire a freelance writer. Whether you need an article, Web content, an advertisement, brochure or newsletter, you will want to hire the best person for the job. A professional writer should be able to deliver what you need for your project without many revisions. Follow these steps to learn how to hire a freelance writer.

Advertisement freelance copy writer

When hiring a freelance copy writer for your advertisements, leaflets, radio ads or other promotional items, you need to be wary about the writer that you hire simply because you have no idea the kind of work this person has done. The most important thing for a freelance copy writer to do is to be able to think LIKE THE CLIENT, for his or her benefit and adapt that style.

I am not going to say that as a freelance copy writer, I hit all the right notes all the time. If I did, I would be lying. But a freelance copy writer who is able to hit the right note at least 90% of the time is a good copy writer.

Writers are not Employees

Try to remember that writer is not your employee but a professional in their own right. Too many people hire a writer and then assume that they are an employee, placing unreasonable demands upon their time, or speaking down to them.

Hire a writer you can work with

If you need a freelance writer now, chances are you will need one again in the future. Hire a good writer to whom you will want to send future projects. This will save you hiring frustrations later.

A few final freelance copywriter hiring tips…

Ask your chamber of commerce for a list of recommended freelance writers in your area.
Call your favorite graphic designer or photographer for a writing referral. Freelance graphic designers and copywriters usually work together to create concepts for web and print advertising campaigns.
If possible, meet with the copywriter in person, or talk to the writer on the phone a few times to determine their demeanor and personality.
A seasoned freelance copywriter will never work for free or accept speculative assignments to build their portfolio.
