How to Hire a Top-Notch Freelance WriterWant to save time on your Internet business? 

This is an outcome that many online entrepreneurs seek.

Having more time means you can focus on increasing income. Plus, you’ll enjoy life more – which is a major reason why we all run an Internet-based business.

One of the biggest “time sucks” online is writing.  Yes, it’s important to publish great content.  But we all have a limited ability to write on a daily basis.

That’s why you need a strategy for outsourcing content creation.  Hiring an freelance writer allows you to focus on the critical aspects of your business – like marketing and networking.

The problem?

Finding the perfect writer is like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is piled on a bunch of haystacks.   Post a job on any freelance website and you’ll get dozens of applicants with various qualifications and price-points.  Often it’s impossible to figure out who is the right person for the job.

In this edition of the Authority Internet Business project, I’ll detail my strategy for hiring a freelance writer.  This is important because you should have a plan for scaling your business.  It’s easy to get bogged down with writing and not make any forward progress.  Having an outsourcing strategy will free up your time to focus on the actions that drive your business forward.

There’s a lot that goes into finding the best person for the job.  So let’s get to it.
