If you're reading this page you're probably on the fence as to whether professional writing services are for you. The fact is thousands of businesses and individuals outsource their creative writing needs to contractors every day. Chances are you will be one of them. But if you're still not sure here are just a few examples of how freelance writing can help you.
SMALL BUSINESS MARKETING
You and your friend have decided to start a new pet grooming service. You've picked a name for your business (Paws for Thought), established an LLC, printed business cards, and even got your first few customers just from word of mouth. The time has come to set up your website. You've paid the hosting fee, created an account, and now...don't know what to say.
Hiring a freelance writer to create copy for a new website is one of the best investments a small business can make. A professional writer knows how to capture the essence of most any business in the fewest words possible and communicate that message to a broad internet audience. And if you want to bolster your website with an informative explainer video, that knack for conciseness will come into play during the scriptwriting process. Writing services are very affordable and, once the project is complete, the copy can stay on your page relatively untouched for years. And if you add new services along the way or want to update your branding, a professional copyeditor can make adjustments in a snap.
CORPORATE TRAINING MATERIALS
You're the Human Resources Manager of a major cell phone provider. Your department has just been tasked with creating and distributing an updated 30-page employee conduct handbook. The problem is half your department is swamped with their regular workload and the other half isn't comfortable writing a long-form document outside of the E-mails, memos, contracts, and other documents they're used to.
When your company requires a specialized writing project, consider hiring a specialized writer. Freelance writers are experts at consulting with companies of all sizes, getting up to speed with their unique characteristics, and executing a writing project that meets their high standards of professionalism while communicating a message employees at every level can understand. If you can't spare the office space for additional short-term personnel, most freelancers can perform remotely from a fully-connected home office. If you require your freelancer to work in-house, many are able. Be sure to consult with them first regarding your specific needs.
PERSONAL AND BUSINESS SPEECHES
Congratulations! Your best friend chose you to give the Best Man's speech at his wedding. But even though you've known him for 25 years and have enough stories for 100 speeches, you're not quite confident in your writing abilities. You worry about rambling on or not being funny enough to hold your audience. In fact, the more you think about it, the more stage fright settles in--and the wedding isn't until next spring!
Late night talk show hosts, heads of state, and Fortune 500 CEO's use professional writers to make their presentations look polished and engaging. Why should you deprive yourself of the same service? Working with a professional writer is simple and user-friendly. Freelancers are trained to write in most any style the client requires. So if you're looking for a hilarious ten minutes of anecdote after anecdote or a more poignant reflection of childhood friendship that won't leave a dry eye in the crowd, trust a professional freelance writer to make your speech stand out.
MISCELLANEOUS CREATIVE PROJECTS
Whether you're an aspiring theater director who needs help writing a play, a concerned citizen who wants to write your Representative a complaint letter, or a stay-at-home dad who wants to give his child a custom-made story book, a freelance writer could be just what you're looking for to make ideas a reality. The best freelancers pride themselves on being consultants as much as writers, so feel free to contact them and tell them what's on your mind.
There should be no project too obscure for dedicated, personalized freelance writing services. So even if your particular needs weren't addressed in this page, chances are The Creative Department can still work with you. Contact me today for a free consultation so we can get to work.
