How to get better content from writers

No dark-mode styles — this email renders the same in a dark client.

It's no secret: Freelance writers do best when they've received clear guidelines and expectations for what's being asked of them.

Hi Emre,

I just wanted to check in about your experience using Compose.ly so far. Our writers have produced top-notch content for businesses of all backgrounds and with all kinds of content needs—and we're confident they can do the same for you.

We do our best to help our writers succeed, but a part of that success also depends on your involvement as a Compose.ly user. Simply put, our writers do best when they've received clear guidelines and expectations for what's being asked of them.

To that end, I want to share four key pieces of advice for commissioning content on our platform:

- Be specific with project instructions.
- Provide an outline.
- Share any relevant resources.
- Include examples and/or competitor references.

It won't always be possible to do all four, but practicing just one or two of these tips will ultimately save time for both you and the writer in the long run.

For more on this, I encourage checking out this piece by one of our top writers (https://cpFKy04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/ON+113/cpFKy04/VW1SwJ47J6v4W1ls9kV3cl620W61z83B5VrtpTN3tskDn5n4LbW5BWr2F6lZ3mSW5CMX5y9lh2B9VMp9JN1Bq0NcW482wXF6Khsm_MGCSTWcb7fWW1S9KfX6yt-sWVC42JS8FhxHvW4x5Br84-wVVGW8VQrC77rtgSzN39_1-y7Glh_Ml0THLF5B-mW61YmFt83cNqvW6rGdMp6XKnxlV4VktY1Ryg37W7Cj1BB4TqsFmW86ty617HtXqhW61Bf2s7DkjCyW2Z1Y_M1MW5_pW7nhFBh1_MmXwN3X5Ym1sMy4yW6WkLQr2l723GW5hymSy1wHwG3W31RgJF13PLw7N1Xp5HCSHbCPW5C_Rzs70PgKzW1JG8tX8Ls4HRW7c_zcW2v9XjtW5_mNPx7sBGQQW38FWqD1_gZD-W9dm23q19xX8fW3VHljD3KGG-ZW4Vj0wj3s50skW77Z_j99j-z55W2kLb3B4zsrp4W8G0DPy528vbQf9j1WNF04 ) . I hope it provides insight on the hard work our freelance writers do to deliver quality content.
