Looking for a content writer who can work remotely?

Content writer working remotely

A content writer who can work remotely can be of great advantage. If you’re looking for one, it means you want to avail great talent at minimal cost and with greatest efficiency. Why is it so?

For a big business it makes sense to have in-house content writers because, to be frank, many of the resources in big businesses are simply wasted. People are hired for no obvious reason. Salaries are paid without knowing why they are being paid. New software is purchased at the drop of a hat. Even when good software is available in the market, they get their own software developed. What I’m trying to say is, when it comes to big business, they’re not very much concerned with using their resources efficiently.

Small businesses on the other hand need to be very careful. If they are not careful, they’re going to lose their business. As a small business you don’t want to employ an in-house content writer. Looking for a content writer who can work remotely would be the best option for you.

Why look for a content writer who can work remotely rather than employing a full-time content writer for your small business?

Saving money is just one of the many reasons. Personally, why I would recommend a content writer who can work remotely is because you don’t get stuck with the content writer you have hired. Let’s accept that – human beings are unpredictable, and so are their talents. Maybe the person who appeared for the interview seemed awesome at that time, but now, he or she just cannot come up with the sort of high-quality content you need for your business. Even if occasionally he or she can come up with great content, the persistency is lacking.

As a business owner you also know that hiring someone can be a pretty expensive affair. You have to place an advertisement. You may have to go through an HR agency and then pay that agency. You will need extra space. You will need extra computer or laptop. You will need extra software. You will need extra resources like electricity and Internet connection and telephone and furniture. There will be many hidden costs that won’t be apparent immediately but will leave quite a significant impact on your account books. If you need to hire multiple content writers, then you can multiply these expenses.

There are no such problems if you hire a content writer who can work remotely. You don’t need to pay an HR agency. You don’t need to invest in infrastructure such as furniture, computers and software, electricity, office space, employee benefits and risks of litigation. You simply tell your content writer (who works remotely using his or her own resources) what you need and he or she delivers. That’s it. Don’t like the work? You can simply move onto another content writer. Isn’t it simple?

Another big advantage of working with a content writer who can work remotely is that you can negotiate the compensation. I’m not suggesting you pay peanuts for the quality content you need for your business, but if competitive rates are available, why not avail them? This is not the case when you hire someone full-time. Whether you can afford or not, you have to pay industry rates. You can surely negotiate, but some of the expenses are simply non-negotiable.

When you look for a content writer who can work remotely, global talent suddenly becomes available to you

As a realistic person, a business savvy worldly wise person, you know that the talent you require isn’t just confined to your geographic region. I’m a content writer based in India, but most of my work comes from English-speaking countries like USA, Britain and Australia. Why don’t they work with native English speaking writers? Aside from the sort of fee that they charge, it isn’t always necessary that they’re going to be better than someone placed elsewhere. An ability to write well is totally different from an ability to speak a language. Being a native English speaker doesn’t mean you’re also a good writer, but you can certainly be a good writer even if you’re not a native English speaker (I’m using English just an example, you can apply this logic to any other language).

So when you work with a content writer who can work remotely, you can access global talent. You don’t need to depend on the writers available in your city.

Even the difference of time zones can work to your advantage. Many clients send my work when it’s night on their side and on my side it’s already day. I work on the document and send it and by the time their day starts, they already have the needed content with them.

So are you looking for a content writer who can work remotely? If yes, do contact me to carry this conversation forward. Who knows? You may decide to work with me. Although, yours is the ultimate decision.
