Want to know how to work with a freelancer so you don’t waste time or money?
Check out this guide.
how it works
If you haven’t worked with a freelancer or marketing team before make sure you check out the steps below.
It will help you know what to expect and what you need to be ready for.
A quick 15 minute Introductory Call
In our first call we chat about what you need so we can quickly work out whether we’re a good fit for each other.
I send you a quote
Covering everything we talked about in the call.
You love it. Accept. And we start to work together.
When you accept the quote you receive a welcome pack outlining the scope, an indicative timeline and a briefing document.
Technology makes working together a breeze.
I use Zoom for Video calls, Mobile calls, Plutio Project Mangagement, Wave Accounting, Canva and Microsoft Products.
You pay me
When money hits my account (50% up front, or full payment for jobs under $1000) we're reay to get started for real.
I may or may not do a happy dance.
The detailed brief
It's official. We're doing this.
Together we work through the details of your brief. Honing in on your goals, customer insights and messaging.
You may be asked to provide:
- insights into your business
- supporting information
research (yours or credible sources)
- who your competitors are
- client stories or testimonials
- images
I know you’re probably thinking ‘this is why we hired you, we don’t have time for this’.
But, trust me. The more detail and information I get upfront from you, the better result you’ll get.
Awesome briefs = better results
Research
Every successful project starts with research.
- customer personas
- publicly available research
- statistics
- customer survey results (or reviews)
I do the work
Once I have everything we need and we've agreed a direction it's time for me to do the work. Mostly it will be be. But sometimes I call in the experts for things like Websites, Graphic Design or Advertisting.
Review/Edit/Refine
Once first drafts have been created, we review, edit and refine the details within the project. All copywriting quotes include up to 2 rounds of free revisions.
We're done! The project wraps up
Once we’re all happy with you’ll be asked to pay the final invoice.
No original files or artwork will be released until final payment is made.
Expect to be asked how it all went. I'll ask for a review or recommendation at the end of the project, that you'll see on places like this website. Thanks!

Wow. I was blown away with how Beck was able to pull out all the thoughts in my head, and put them into words to capture the essence of my business. Beck was easy to work with, delivered to deadline, and knew what I wanted before I did! I’d highly recommend working with her. Great marketer and business writer.

I approached Rebecca for assistance with writing content for our website magazine, with a specific focus on women's finance and surrounding issues (career, returning to work, teaching kids about money etc).
Rebecca has proven herself to be professional and open to edits. She is an insightful writer, quick to "get" what I want to say, and, reassuringly, is an excellent researcher.
I cannot recommend her highly enough - she has produced at a much higher level than I expected, and I aim to have a long working relationship with her.

Rebecca is a very talented marketer. She worked with me to define, identify and place in context my skills, experience and services. Now, instead of jargon, it is very easy to understand what I do and who benefits. Sounds simple, but it takes a talented marketer to make it so.
