That long list of industries continues to grow as Scripted brings more writers and clients to its online platform.
Attract Clients with Your Writer Profile and Reputation
Scripted has room for new and established writers. If you don't have much publishing experience, you can
start building your profile by bidding on projects focused on topics you know well.
When you impress your clients, you get excellent reviews that improve your reputation score.
Keep adding content to your portfolio and exceeding your clients' expectations. It won't take long before
you have a steady stream of companies requesting your ideas or hiring you directly through the Scripted marketplace.
If you already have published articles, you can add them to your writing portfolio immediately to display
your skills and areas of interest.
Form Long-Term Relationships with Clients and Account Managers
Content writers often feel underwhelmed by online platforms because they get assigned random projects that
they don't really care about. Scripted takes the opposite approach. When you join Scripted,
you get opportunities to develop long-term relationships with the clients and account managers you enjoy working with.
Take a moment to send clients positive messages when they accept your projects. Ask them for feedback that
will help you perfect your pitches. A little extra communication shows that you want a long-term working
relationship instead of a quick job.
Scripted's account managers can also help you find projects that match your skills. Get to know the people
who manage accounts on the platform. When they know they can trust you with priority clients, you will get
work that pays well and pushes your abilities.
Accept Smart Match Jobs Instantly
Scripted developed SmartMatch to help match customers with the perfect writer instantly. When a customer
submits a request for a SmartMatch order it gets offered to a pool of writers that match the order criteria
and all writers in that pool have a chance to pick it up. If you match that order, you’ll be notified and
can pick it up instantly.
The SmartMatch system saves you the time of creating unique proposals for each potential job and allows you
to instantly pick up jobs that match your skills and experience.
Pitch Ideas That Pique Your Interest
Do you like coming up with unique ideas for blog posts, video scripts, ebooks, and more? Scripted allows
you to reach out directly to customers and pitch your own ideas for them to order instantly from you.
This feature allows you to research and write about a topic that interests you rather than wait for a
content order to come along. As you grow your relationship with customers you’ll be able to learn what
kind of content they need for their business and approach them with your unique ideas.
Set Prices Your Knowledge and Experience Deserve
When you pitch an idea on Scripted, you get to set a price that you believe is fair to the client and your
experience. Clients can even send you an additional tip to reward you for excellent work.
Every project has a minimum price that ensures writers get paid a fair amount. You always control how much
you charge, but the minimum prevents writers from drastically undercutting each other for jobs.
Work as Much or as Little as You Want
Some writers at Scripted use the platform to earn a little extra money. Others rely on it as their main
source of income.
You can use Scripted to write as much or as little as you want. As a freelance writer, you control your schedule.
Quick Payments for Accepted Projects
Scripted partners with Stripe to get money in your bank account quickly. You can usually expect payments
to reach your account within three to five days after your client accepts the project, depending on your
Writer Tier.
Scripted's platform lets you track all of your projects and payments through a convenient dashboard.
Manage All of Your Clients From One Dashboard
As a freelance writer, staying organized can be a big challenge. As a Scripted writer you can manage all your customers, jobs, and pitches in one dashboard so you know what to prioritize and what stage every job is in. Each job is placed in one of these four stages:
-
Proposals – pitches that clients are still considering.
-
Writing – assignments with upcoming deadlines.
-
Editing – projects in the editing stage before they get sent to clients.
-
Ready for Review – jobs now in clients' hands ready for acceptance.
You can also use the Scripted dashboard to manage your Writer Portfolio, writing samples, payments, and job invitations.
Support From Scripted Team of Professionals
At some point, every writer runs into a situation they don't know how to handle. Perhaps a client demands
something outrageous, or you're not sure how to answer a question about billing.
Scripted has a support staff of professionals waiting to address your issue as quickly as possible. Just
reach out to Scripted Support to get your question answered. You'll get a friendly, helpful response ASAP.
