3 Tips to Get More Content Jobs at Crowd

When you become a content freelancer through Crowd, you even have access to exclusive information to land more jobs. 

In addition to participating in the selection and managing professional copywriters, proofreaders, videographers and social media, I am also responsible for approving the Content projects that pass through Crowd.

What this means: that you will work with me and other professionals on the Crowd team. Depending on the project, you may also be able to work directly with the client.

The selection process for Content professionals takes place as follows:

1. demand arrival
2. Elaboration of briefing
3. selection of freelancers
4. Hiring
5. job execution
6. Delivery of work
7. Payment

Right at the beginning of the project, I analyze the client's need for content, document all the demand and, with all that in hand, I look for professionals who are suitable for the job.

With that in mind, here are some tips for you to get more content jobs at Crowd:

1. Have a complete profile with keywords

When a selection begins, we normally search the platform for keywords, such as social networks, articles, content. 

So, the more complete the profile is with description and experiences, the easier it is to find that person, to find the desired profile.

So, much more than reporting experiences and professional training, think of all the words that may be relevant during this first search and complete your freelancer profile on the platform.

To help you out, you can use one of the templates below to create or update your Crowd profile description:

TEMPLATE 1
I'm a [profession] that helps [client type] with [core activity] so they can [client's most desired result].

I do this through [deliverables] that work as [bridge to achieve the most desired objective by the client].

Results I got for other clients:
→ [result 1]
→ [result 2]

TEMPLATE 2
I have been working with [field of work] for [years of work]. Since then, I have developed projects aimed at different segments, such as [example of area 1] and [example of area 2].

I am more familiar with [type of project within the field], but I also have experience with [other types of project].

I learn a lot from every job, but I can say that my favorite projects are:

→ [Project 1]
→ [Project 2]

2. Build a good content portfolio

One of the great difficulties of those who work with content — especially textual content — is have a portfolio.

While Design and Technology professionals, for example, can easily organize and expose their work, it can be a real challenge for the writer and proofreader to do the same task.

The portfolio is fundamental for choosing freelancers. Even if it's small, it's always nice to have that part complete. After all, the material is what demonstrates the practical qualities of the professional.

But, you might be wondering: how to make a portfolio in the Content area? 

In the portfolio, I think it's cool to have: 

• Some certification in the area, such as Inbound Marketing. 
• Some academic and/or professional training.
• Any conversion free course or content production.
• Some free course or certification in SEO.

But a portfolio has to be simple because we are talking about content. The portfolio serves more to discover the type of content that the freelancer produces and their areas of interest.

This is something I look for a lot on the Crowd platform and in portfolios, for example: I manage to filter the terms “article”, “content”, “finance” for an investment brokerage client in my search. 

Therefore, it is worth specifying clients for which you have worked and the type of content produced as well.

3. Comply with the platform rules

One of the requirements to become a Crowd freelancer is to issue an invoice in the contractor's CNPJ. Only with this document will it be possible to pay for the job. 

Important: the company and bank account must be in your name, agreed? We cannot hire a remote professional and accept an invoice and company account from a friend of that professional, for example.

Compliance with this requirement is also the first item I check after selection.

I always check to see if the person has a note of their own before proceeding with the conversation. 

Sometimes we talk to an incredible professional about a very interesting job and, at the end, we discover that the freelancer does not issue an invoice.

So, if your profile and portfolio are complete and up-to-date and you issue an invoice, you will have a great chance of getting jobs at Crowd.

I was hired for a Content job at Crowd. And now?

After going through the funnel of content freelancers, you've finally been hired. 

At that moment, you have a golden chance to prove your technical and professional skills.

This step is crucial for you to strengthen your partnership with Crowd so that you can have new job opportunities later on.

To do so, follow these tips: 

1. Be available for contact during the project

We know that not every freelancer works full time with Content. But, even so, your professionalism should be different from what is expected of a full-time professional.

Therefore, availability is a fundamental characteristic for carrying out the work. 

More specifically: being available to make calls, talk to the customer and the Crowd. In other words: having a very professional attitude — which we can really feel in the pre-selection interview.

It doesn't matter the means that will be used - such as calls, messages or email. The important thing is to demonstrate that you are open and communicate transparently.

2. Be committed to the project

Being committed is related to the idea of ​​wearing the shirt of the project. It's about always looking for the best answers to the customer's pains.

We encourage and value the contribution of freelancers in projects. You are open to sharing with us your ideas, directions and solutions so that the best result can be achieved. 

So it's up to me, as well as the content professional, to direct which would be the best work for him to have the best result. 

I already had some professionals who worked with me who really took this path: they even gave me organization tips, tips for some delivery and were always interested in improving both the process in contact with us and improving the results of the client through the work they did. we did it in partnership.

3. Adapt to the agency's modus operandi

As a hired freelancer, it is important to follow the guidelines and rules for carrying out the work. 

We have developed a unique methodology — Agile Crowd — that helps us deliver quality jobs in an organized way. But for this to happen, the remote professional must also be aware of the task management at Crowd.

Watch this video that our Operations Coordinator, Natalia Laurindo, prepared for you to have an overview of this management:

4. Be flexible in the face of change

It is not uncommon for us to have a scope change in the middle of the project. Therefore, it is crucial for this committed professional to be flexible for this adequacy.

But rest assured, these changes don't mean you'll need to work long hours or stay up all night.

We value the quality of life of the freelancers who work with us on the project: when there is a change, we adjust the budget and deadline so that you can work at the most productive time and not be overloaded.
