What does a freelance website content writer do?

A freelance website content writer will produce copy for your website or blog. Usually a website content writer focuses on producing content for pages and this can often include all pages on a website from blogs to product pages. Content writers specialise in presenting information in an easy to read, informative way and often have search engine optimisation (SEO) experience, a task that is also known as freelance content marketing.

Is a freelancer the right choice for my content writing needs?

Unless you employ a full-time content writer within your business, hiring a freelancer is the quickest way to find short or long-term support. You may already have content specialists within your organisation and simply be going through a period of high work capacity. Either way, freelance writers are a great choice. Some freelance writers focus on producing copy for certain industries or mediums while others produce more sales-oriented copy.

What is the difference between a web content writer and a digital content writer?

Generally speaking, a digital content writer will be able to cover more tasks than a web content writer. A web writer will focus their efforts on website pages, but a digital writer may cover social media, email campaigns, offsite articles and advertorials too. However, keep in mind that the term web content writer is not exhaustive. Some writers may call themselves a web content writer but be able to cover the same tasks as a digital content writer.

What sort of content writing freelancers can I find at PeoplePerHour?
