Not every piece will be perfect the first time around, especially if you\u2019re working with writers who are new to your process. However, with the right feedback and guidance, they\u2019ll know exactly how to improve moving forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giving clear and constructive feedback to freelance writers is an essential step in the editorial process. Not only does it encourage them to deliver their best work, but it also saves you time and effort by avoiding revision loops.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a content writing service, we understand the value of a strong freelancer-client relationship. In this guide, we\u2019ll explore the importance of constructive feedback in freelance writing and why it\u2019s essential to your relationship. We\u2019ll also discuss the best ways to provide feedback so your writers are set up for success.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Giving Constructive Feedback is Essential for Freelance Writing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The relationship between freelance writers and clients is just like any other working relationship. Just as you expect your freelancers to be professional and respectful, writers expect the same in return.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By providing constructive feedback, you show that you care about working towards the same common goal: creating high-quality content.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a client, you need to ensure the feedback you\u2019re giving is clear, with actionable steps toward improvement. When you put in the time and effort to explain what you liked about their work and what missed the mark, your writers will feel prepared to work on the next round of revisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When feedback is only focused on the negatives without offering clear guidance, it can end up harming the relationship. You might get caught up in revision loops, delay project timelines, and even face writer churn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that freelancers aren\u2019t mind readers. With the right constructive feedback, you can form a solid freelance writing team that\u2019s excited to work with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Ways to Give Feedback to Freelance Writers&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we\u2019ve outlined why constructive feedback is important, let\u2019s dive into the best ways to provide feedback from clients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Set Them Up for Success From the Start&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before your writers start their first draft, they\u2019re given a <a href=\"https:\/\/contentwriters.com\/blog\/how-to-write-a-content-brief-for-a-freelance-writer-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">content brief<\/a> with essential project details. These include sections like content goals, SEO guidance, style requirements, linking preferences, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you haven\u2019t already, make sure you\u2019re sending your writers brand guidelines, style guides, and up-to-date samples (if available). This ensures that your writers have the right resources to deliver content that meets your expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the content briefs set up project expectations for you and your writer, it\u2019s important to fill them out comprehensively. If you miss any important details in the brief, your writers won\u2019t know how to apply them to the draft.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asking for revisions that deviate from the original brief can frustrate writers. It may appear like your direction is aimless, setting the writer up for additional, unnecessary revisions. It can also be a costly mistake, as you may pay for additional time or a change of scope fee. For the writers, it can lead to disrupted deadlines, burnout, and compromised quality.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Provide Clear Guidance&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to giving feedback to freelance writers, you should be as specific as possible. Identify areas of the piece that need improvement and the actionable steps they should take.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you notice that a writer isn\u2019t meeting your brand voice, highlight where exactly in the copy it\u2019s lacking and why. You can also link them to an existing content piece as a good example they can reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may seem counterintuitive at first, but making a revision yourself via track changes is very effective. It can sometimes be easier to show than explain what needs to change. The writer, seeing a specific example of how you revise, can better identify your quality expectations and apply them throughout the assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Use the Right Tools&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sharing valuable feedback to freelance writers is also dependent on the tools you\u2019re relying on. For example, our ContentWriters platform features an in-line editing tool (like the track changes mentioned above) to select specific passages of copy to revise or comment with your feedback. These changes and comments are saved and can be used as a historical reference for yourself or the writers. Popular word processing tools like Microsoft Word or Google Docs also have in-line editing capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of which client feedback tool you prefer, make sure you stick to it. Switching back and forth between different platforms can confuse both parties. Keep your workflow streamlined by ensuring all of your revisions are housed in the same place and that all involved are set up with the right access and permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Communicate Effectively&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In freelancing, feedback can sometimes get lost in translation. That\u2019s why effective, consistent communication is key to maintaining a long-lasting freelancer-client relationship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For both clients and writers, it\u2019s important to be timely when responding to emails and to ask any questions right when they come up. If you\u2019re partnering with a content writing agency, make sure your account manager or point of contact regularly updates you on project status, whether it\u2019s through regular video calls or emails. On your end, make sure you\u2019re updating your POC with any important institutional information or recent changes to your guidelines or strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By creating an environment that\u2019s open to communication, you can build trust and collaboration between you and your freelancers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Keep it Professional&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way you deliver feedback to freelance writers is equally as important as the feedback itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We understand how frustrating it can be when you receive a draft that doesn&#8217;t align with what you expected, but addressing feedback with clarity and without editorializing can help get the writer there in the next draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re upset by content quality, use constructive language that demonstrates your willingness to collaborate as a team. For example, instead of saying something like, \u201cThe tone here is all wrong. You need to fix this,\u201d you can say something like, \u201cThis wouldn\u2019t resonate with our target audience. Let\u2019s adjust the tone to be more casual and less buttoned-up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there\u2019s an issue with subject matter knowledge, provide resources to make sure the writer is well-informed. Even expert, industry-specialized writers need confirmation on what types of sources or research are approved by your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using professional and direct language fosters collaboration and helps keep your team growth-oriented.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Many Revisions Is Too Many?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One issue that you may face with freelance writing is feeling like you\u2019re stuck in an endless revision loop. Although revisions are important to the content creation process, constant revisions can signal a deeper issue. So, what\u2019s considered an excessive amount?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/content-writers_writerwednesday-freelancetips-contentwriting-activity-7287902123516645377-jOBL\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent LinkedIn poll<\/a>, out of 152 freelancers who answered, 68% indicated they allow 1-2 revisions for their clients. Only 30% voted for either 3-4 rounds or unlimited revisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that a \u201chealthy\u201d amount of revisions is dependent on the type of project you\u2019re working on. If the number of revisions is starting to feel like a lot, it probably is.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you find yourself running into excessive revisions, take some time to think about how you\u2019re providing your feedback. Are you giving clear, constructive feedback with actionable steps and suggestions? Is your content brief as detailed as possible for the writer? These are important questions to think about the next time you\u2019re working on revisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strong Feedback, Strong Results&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strong feedback leads to stronger workflows, relationships, and results in your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting feedback from clients that is clear and constructive makes a world of difference in freelance writing. Remember that you\u2019re on the same team and working towards the same project goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking for a writing service with a platform built to optimize content efficiency and improve content quality, tap into ContentWriters.
