Questions about hiring a blog writer
Straight answers to what NZ business owners ask us most.
How long before I get the first draft?
Timing depends on scope and the freelancer’s schedule; a short post can take from a few days while long‑form or research pieces usually take one to three weeks. Confirm deadlines when you brief applicants.
How do I make sure the writer understands my business?
Include background, audience, tone examples and target keywords in your brief. Ask applicants for samples of relevant work and a short plan for your project.
Can a writer publish directly to our website?
Yes — many freelancers offer CMS publishing as part of the brief. Specify CMS access, preferred format and image sources when you create your brief and discuss permissions with the freelancer.
What if I need ongoing posts every week?
Discuss a retainer or recurring project in your brief; freelancers often agree a monthly package and schedule. Rates and exact deliverables are negotiated directly.
How does Unicorn Factory help with trust and quality?
Unicorn Factory makes warm introductions after freelancers apply. Review each applicant’s profile, samples and proposed approach before hiring, and agree milestones and payment terms with the freelancer.
Who owns the blog posts and how many revisions are included?
Agree rights, reuse and the number of revision rounds with the writer before work starts, and put them in your brief. Most writers hand over ownership of the final text once paid, but terms vary, so confirm it in writing.
