Checklist: Questions to Ask Before Starting a Content Writing Project

Image
  Remember the time when you went back and forth with the client on a content writing project? Remember the anxiety? Remember the stress? Well, in retrospect, do you wish you had done anything different? More often than not, content writers often say that asking more questions helps. Questions drive alignment, identify points of friction and give you guard-rails alongside which you operate. Of course, you shouldn’t hit the client with a 100-question questionnaire right away, what you could do is identify which of the following are the must-asks for your project.

But, think about this: In 2017, eMarketer reported that marketers spent $570 million on influencer marketing globally. In 2018, $1.6 billion was channeled into sponsored posts on Instagram alone. According to a report by Linqia , only 6% of brands said influencer content under-performed brand content. By 2020, more than 50% of ad content will be created outside of marketing .
