How to hire content producers
Content producers can turn your content strategy into a system for generating content that meets common marketing goals such as SEO, branding, or public relations (PR).
So how do you hire content producers? What follows are some tips for finding top content producers on Upwork.
How to shortlist content production professionals
As you’re browsing available content production consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
- Industry fit. You want a content producer who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market.
- Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., producing a podcast).
- Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular content producer.
How to write an effective content production job post
With a clear picture of your ideal content producer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective content production job post should include:
- Scope of work: From content calendars to editing, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
- Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
- Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or types of content, mention this here.
- Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
