Have you ever hired freelancers to handle content creation? How did it go?

Question

I've been considering hiring freelancers to take over some of the content creation for our company, RaftLabs, but I'm unsure about the process. Have you outsourced content creation, and what was your experience like?

Found good ones on Upwork, key is detailed briefs and starting with small test projects.

Maru Rivera · Answer

Oh lord... It's been almost a 50-50 hit-or-miss situation for me. Upwork has given me the best results and even then It's pretty hard.

Any better suggestions anyone?

Yep, finding quality freelancers on Upwork has worked well for me. The key is providing super detailed project briefs and starting them off with a few smaller test projects to gauge fit. Also, don't forget to check their reviews and portfolios thoroughly before hiring!

Answer

Yes, I've hired freelancers on Upwork for content creation. Definitely agree that detailed project briefs are key. I also recommend checking their portfolios thoroughly and having them do a short paid test piece before committing to larger projects. It can take some trial and error to find great freelancers who match your style and needs, but it's worth it once you build those relationships.

Hi @ashitvora Outsourcing content creation can definitely be a game-changer, especially when scaling output while maintaining a consistent brand voice! With over three years of experience as a digital marketing VA and content creator, I specialize in creating impactful content that not only speaks to target audiences but also enhances brand identity and value. I took a look at RaftLabs' portfolio, and I’m impressed by projects like the AI-enhanced remote patient monitoring solution and the SWD marketplace app. These are powerful examples of how RaftLabs is driving innovation across industries, and I’d love to help highlight their impact through engaging, value-driven content. If you’d like more information or would like to chat further, feel free to reach out to me at fadekeadele@gmail.com. Looking forward to the possibility of collaborating! Best regards, Fadekemi

I have hired freelancers for content creation, and it's like dating—some matches are fantastic, while others, not so much. It's crucial to find the right fit for your brand. Speaking of finding the right match, have you heard of "Her Ideal Match"? It could be an interesting parallel in finding the perfect freelancer!

Bilal Asif · Answer

It really depends on their work ethic. My experience with hiring freelancers has been generally great.

Answer

Sometimes it goes well, other no. Usually the issue is you explain exactly what you need but the freelance makes another thing
Depends. I use Fiverr, do you think Upwork is better?
