Creating Your Optimal Profile As a Transportation and Logistics Freelance Writer
Even in the online world, first impressions are everything which is why you'll want to ensure your Scripted profile showcases your expertise and writing skills. This ensures the client that their transportation and logistics freelance writing jobs are in good hands when they hire you. To create an optimal profile, you'll need three things:
- A profile picture: ideally, this picture will be well-lit and cropped around your smiling face.
- A writer's bio that includes your professional experience and interests. The main goal of your bio is to position you as an authority in your field.
- Writing samples: The client will want to see what you've written in the past to determine whether you're a good fit to be hired for their logistics freelance writing jobs. If you're just beginning and don't yet have writing samples, you can write spec articles and post them to your LinkedIn profile or personal blog.

- Set the tone — As soon as you claim or win a job, spend a few minutes looking over the creative brief. This is for two reasons. One is that you want to acquaint yourself with the job objectives and two you want to see if you have any questions. From there, send the client a note via the messages function to say hello and request any needed clarification. This gesture sets the tone for communication and lets the client know their job is in the right hands.
