Hiring guide

What to look for in a Blog Writing freelancer

A strong blog writer should research a topic, structure it for readers and search, and match your voice, not just fill a word count. Look for:

  • Clear, natural writing that reads like a person, not a template.
  • Real research habits: sources, examples, and a point of view instead of fluff.
  • Working SEO sense: headings, intent, and internal links done without keyword stuffing.
  • Range across topics, so a technical brief and a lifestyle piece both land.
  • Published clips with traction, ideally posts that ranked or drove real readers.

Ask for two or three live posts and a short paid test on one of your topics. A sample in your niche tells you far more than a general portfolio.
