How to get hired by a Content Writing Agency?

 

Content writing is about solving problems for a targeted audience. If you think you can do that, here are some tips on how to be noticed by content writing services around you.

●      Building a portfolio

As a beginner in content writing, you have to gain people's trust. One of the ways is to make a portfolio. Here you will be able to display all your capabilities. Try to experiment with different niches and styles of writing. A good portfolio will provide an excellent platform for you to become a freelance contentwriter as well.

Ensure that you have some social proof to support all the work you have done. Quora is a great place to flex your content writing skills and showcase how people read and engage with your content. Fiverr and Upwork provide complimentary work in exchange for a review. 

 

●      Building authority

If you can create a sense of authority and expertise, you will attract more readers. The most effective way is by being a blog content writer. Using your blogs, you will be able to show your skills and authority. 

 ●      Join Communities

Be a part of different writing and digital marketing communities on Facebook, Telegram, and other platforms. People usually post their requirements for content. Some agencies even hire content writers from here. Remember to stay updated and be patient.

 ●      Setting your LinkedIn Profile

LinkedIn is a search engine through which companies can get a candidate for their required postings. To be at the cream of this selection, you have to make sure you put the proper keywords in your description. Keep your profile active to show your knowledge, skills, and motivation to the employer.

 ●      Creating a Pitch

A perfect pitch should be simple, clear, and straightforward. By creating a pitch to be a writer, you will display your confidence about the job and your communication skills. Here is how to create an effective pitch:

 Start with a clear subject line

1. Address the recipient by their name
2. Talk about where you saw their posting and the requirement
3. Explain how you are an appropriate fit for the given requirements
4. Portray your work and portfolio
5. Link them to the blogs and social media handles
6. Finally, end with a sound email signature

 Remember to follow up after the pitch. Keep on practising on your pitch till you acquire your most convincing pitch.
