Greetings
When it comes to the written word, I am an expert. My voice is clear, succinct, and
memorable. I have been writing blogs, marketing material, and other content for
[Number.Of.Years] years for numerous publications both in print and online, and I take
pride in effective communication. My work with [Previous.Client] helped expand their
online audience and brand presence. I hope this outline shows you my vision and
commitment to effective copy.

Expectations
[Client.Company] is in need of content creation for their blog on social media. Posts will
consist of well-researched information on topics important to this field, such as new forms
of social media, existing apps and websites, and emerging technology. [Client.Company] is
a go-to source of news and information on social media not only for the industry, but also
for users. They have achieved this through quality content and presentation, and I strive to
be an asset to the team.

I have been writing about the tech industry for [Number.Of.Years]. My work has appeared
in [Publication], [Publication], and [Publication]. I have a strong sense of SEO and how to
structure blog posts so they receive the utmost attention in online searches.

Goals
I will write 2 blog posts five days a week, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each
will be between 400 and 500 words, and include relevant SEO tags and suggested art and
where to source it. The content will focus on social media and what is most relevant to the
industry on a daily basis. Aggregation will be part of the process, but original content will
also be needed. To that end, forming relationships with key players in the industry is a
must.

Blog posts will use language appropriate to the audience while being free of typos and
others mistakes, and be properly attributed when necessary. All blogs must be pre-
approved by an in-house editor before work can begin.

Delivery
I will be expected to adhere to the following schedule on a daily basis, and be available for
questions and edits throughout the day, ending at 5 p.m.:

Time Task

8 AM Blog pitches sent to editor for approval

8:30 AM Blogs approved or changed at the behest of the editor

10 AM First of two daily blogs filed for posting

NOON Blog pitch changes sent to editor for approval, if needed

12:30 PM Approval of changes to second blog, if needed

2 PM Second of two daily blogs filed for posting

Payment
I request a flat rate of $200 per day for two blog posts. Invoices will be filed per the
schedule already established by [Client.Company]. If payments are not received by the 15th
of each month, I reserve the right to suspend work until the issue is settled.
[Client.Company] will decide how payments are received, i.e. online or in check form.

Agreement
Once this proposal is agreed upon by both parties, work will commence with an open end
date to be decided by [Client.Company]. I will be given two weeks’ notice of the contract
end date, and any outstanding payments must be made within 30 days of termination.
