Publish three writing samples in a clearly defined niche (B2B SaaS, personal finance, health tech — pick one). Each piece should demonstrate the specific voice and depth the target clients need: word count matters less than showing you understand the audience. Publish on Medium, Substack, dev.to, or your own site with public URLs. Then define a per-word or per-piece rate and send the first 10 personalised cold emails to identified potential clients (editorial directors, content managers, or founders).
Proof required
Three published writing sample URLs with brief descriptions of their target audience and purpose, plus a log of 10 outreach messages sent with recipient, role, company, and date.
What gets checked
- Three samples published publicly with URLs, each targeting a specific audience
- Outreach log shows 10 personalised messages — different first paragraphs referencing the specific company
- Rate defined in writing before outreach begins
