Top 5 Traits to Look for in a Blockchain Freelance Writer

You're on the hunt. You either own a blockchain company or you are a team member in need of a professional to help you achieve a specific goal. You would like to hire a freelance writer who will do a good job on your website, app, whitepaper, or marketing materials, but you aren't exactly sure what to look for when making a decision.

The fact is, with hundreds, even thousands of freelance writers on the internet, it makes it tough to find one to get the job done right. It's similar to when you are looking for a contractor to do work on your home. Just as you care about the work done on your home, you want the same love and care given for your blockchain or cryptocurrency business.

Let's dive in and discuss the top 5 traits to look for in a blockchain freelance writer:

Results-driven

The first trait to look for in a blockchain freelance writer is this... are they driven by the end results? Is the person you are about to hire going to deliver the expected result(s) you are looking for? Has this freelancer delivered similar results for others that you want for your project?

If you are fond of a particular freelancer because they quoted a low-range price for the project, yet they are clearly not concerned about the end result of the project, then that is a red flag. Choose a blockchain freelance writer based on the results they can deliver to you because after all, it's your company and you are the one hiring them for your needs.

Specialized

The next trait to keep an eye out for is specialization. What is the freelancer's expertise? Are they a freelance writer but prefer to write science fiction novels? If so, they are not a good fit for you. On the other hand, if they specialize in blockchain and cryptocurrency email copy or blog articles, you are going to get exactly what you are after.

Usually blockchain freelance writers will clearly state their specialties online so potential clients can get an idea of what type of work they are both good at and enjoy participating in at the same time. Don't search for freelancers who write about anything, including underwater basket weaving, because they won't move your business forward.

Understands your needs

The third trait of a quality blockchain freelance writer is that they take the time to understand the client's needs, aka your needs. What is the point of working with someone that doesn't understand the scope of the project or of what you desire the end result to be?

A blockchain freelance writer should be prepared to not only understand your needs, but also meet and exceed your expectations. The only way the writer will exceed your expectations is by getting a clear understanding of what you want and the deadline that you want it done by.

Track record

Usually when someone is being interviewed for a job, the employer first looks at the track record, or resume, to see what experience the potential employee can bring to the table. You, the business owner or supervisor, is looking to hire a freelance writer with experience under their belt.

Hiring a freelance writer who is brand new to the industry may not be as well-versed in the blockchain space as you would hope. It's important to find one who has a proven track record, or work history, so that you know what caliber of work you can expect to receive.

Top-notch communication

Communication is an essential part of any relationship. If a husband and wife don't communicate, the marriage will soon break down. In business, communication is what fuels job efficiency while cutting down on potential headaches.

When choosing a blockchain freelance writer, pay close attention to how well they communicate. If you send a pertinent email to them and they don't respond back within 24-48 hours, that is a red flag. Quality freelance writers will make you, the client, a top priority and respond in a timely fashion.
