Talent<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Huge selection<\/li>\n
  • Flexibility to hire a writer for what you need<\/li>\n

    \n

    Platform<\/p>\n

      \n
    • No unified platform for communication or revision tracking. Content gets sent in emails or messages
      as multiple links or files. Revisions snowball,
      the latest updates are hard to track, and timelines can be missed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
      \n

      Cost<\/p>\n

        \n

      • Pay by project or time spent<\/li>\n
      • No full refunds<\/li>\n
      • If someone doesn\u2019t work out, you\u2019re at square one<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

        Extras<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Direct communication with writers<\/li>\n
        • Potential to find the perfect writer<\/li>\n
        • Relying on a single writer creates risk \u2013 if your writer gets sick or is overloaded with work from other clients, you may have to push projects back<\/li>\n
        • No editors or layer of quality control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

            \n

            Platform<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Agencies use different tools \u2013 some help with communication, others improve workflows, quality control, the revision process, and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
              \n
              \n

              Cost<\/p>\n

                \n
              • A lot of digital agencies outsource all or some
                of their content creation to content writing services; then there is an additional surcharge put on top
                of their service<\/li>\n
              • Two to three times more expensive than freelance writers or marketplaces; this is usually the most expensive option<\/li>\n
              • Usually, there is a minimum contract \u2013 minimum monthly spend or a retainer fee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
                \n

                    or a small in-house team<\/li>\n

                        to make the hire worthwhile<\/li>\n
                      • Costs associated with recruitment, benefits,
                        and ending employment add up<\/li>\n
                      • Difficult to gauge value with a salary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
