Are You Writing Bad Content?
Plus saying goodbye to clients and becoming a valuable asset to your current ones.
Newsletter #061
Welcome to another edition of The Write Stuff—your weekly round-up of useful resources we’ve found online, specifically for content writers.
This week we’re talking about deciding if it’s time to part ways with a client, how to over-deliver for the clients you value, and the four ways people write bad content.
Is It Time to Say Goodbye to Your Current Client?
If you’re a writer who is creating content for companies, then you should absolutely be doing quality control on your clients. If you have one company that’s impossible to communicate with, pays you your old rates, or makes working with them difficult, then it might be time to think about replacing them.
This article will help you determine if that’s the case.
Finding the sweet spot: Over-delivering for clients
In no way are we suggesting you work for free. With that said, there’s a sweet spot you can hit between providing your client what’s asked of you, and adding in a few extras to make things easier for them.
The Four Forces of Bad Content
The best marketing materials are the ones that readers don’t realize are marketing materials. A lot of content writers make the mistake of writing in ways that sound too salesy and end up driving readers away. The blog at Animalz doesn’t want you to be one of those writers.
Avoid these four content writing mistakes.
Enrollment for the Client Acquisition System is officially closed.
If you’ve published articles online before, don’t know how to get writing clients, and haven’t figured out how to set up a predictable and steady income from freelance writing—the beginning of 2022 is looking bright.
Sign up for the Client Acquisition System waitlist to get first access to enrolling in the next round of CAS, starting in January or February of 2022.
Writers say CAS “…was the single best investment of my career so far. Working with [Eva] started everything. I wouldn’t be where I am today without [Eva’s] help. I genuinely mean that.”
