FAQs

How do you charge for your services?

I usually charge a set rate for projects and larger jobs with predefined scope or an hourly rate for small one-off tasks.

In any case, you’ll always receive a cost estimate up-front and I will provide you with a detailed invoice for each project.

How long does it take to complete a project?

The time frame for completion depends upon the scope and complexity of work and how many other jobs are in the pipeline.

The more we work together and the greater understanding I have of your product and services, the faster I can turn around work.

I produce content quickly and have a collaborative and iterative process to ensure the content is always heading in the right direction.

I’ll send you updates frequently so you’re always aware of my progress and will let you know ahead of time if there are unforeseen delays or issues.

How do you communicate with your clients?

I communicate using whatever method and platform (e.g. Slack Connect) works best for them.

I am flexible and responsive, and will reply to your messages and emails as soon as possible.

How do you handle revisions and feedback?

I don’t tend to have set rules around the number of revisions and feedback as I find good planning, communication of scope, and preparation ahead of time negate the need for a large number of revisions.

My collaborative approach means we get to a final version relatively quickly because I ensure we remain aligned on the content goals and vision as the project progresses.

I want you to be really happy (not just satisfied), with the end result will gladly accommodate your requests until the content is where it needs to be.

How do you deliver your content?

I deliver my content in whatever format best suits you. I tend to produce the drafts in Google docs as it has superb tooling for collaborative editing but can publish the content in your CMS or editorial tool of choice.

At the conclusion of each project, I’ll provide you with the source files, images, videos, or any other assets that I used to create the content.

Does the content need to be attributed to you?

That’s completely your choice!

You can attach my name to blog posts or I can be used as a ghostwriter.

What are the benefits of working with you?

I’m friendly and easy going, and will feel like a new member of your team.

I genuinely care about the impact my work has on your team and business, and I will always go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied and happy with the content.
