My freelance services include several writing, editing, and creation skills that I have prior experience in (blog work, emails [general, outreach, and interviews], transcriptions, presentation creation, and social media content creation).
The process itself is something that I’d like to call “the O.C.A.R. Method,” which stands for “Outreach, Consultation, Action, and Review.” The terms themselves are the four steps in which my services will conducted. Let’s start with…
OUTREACH
- The first step begins with either me reaching out to a possible client or you, a possible client, reaching out to me via the freelance form [which you can find in the “Freelance Form” tab under the “Freelancing” page]. The contact form requires you to provide your name, email address, and services that you’re requesting. You can also provide your phone number and/or an additional message, but those are optional.
- I will respond to the contact form as soon as possible and reach out to you via email to schedule possible Zoom meetings. Once we come to an agreement regarding a time to meet, that will lead us to…
CONSULTATION
- The second step begins with our Zoom meeting, where will discuss the services that you have requested of me. We will talk about the scope of the project(s), including its type(s), length(s), etc. It is also during the consultation that we will discuss the rates that each project will incur, and the methods of payment that I accept. [You can look at the rates and payment methods in the “Pricing” tab under the “Freelancing” page.] I will then create a service quote so you can know how much you will be expected to pay for the project(s). When that is completed, a simple contract will be created by both parties to ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding the project(s), pricing/rates, deadlines (if permitted), etc.
- Each party will sign the contract and receive a copy for their records. Now, with the consultation completed, that will lead us to…
ACTION
- The third step begins with me working on your project(s). I will provide timely updates whenever possible, and ask you for feedback on my current work, if need be. When the work is fully completed, that will lead us to…
REVIEW
- The fourth and final step begins with me informing you via email that the project(s) are complete. We will then set up a Zoom meeting to discuss the completed work, primarily if it will lead to any possible revisions.
- If revisions aren’t needed, then the project(s) are officially completed. A service invoice will be provided, including the details regarding the project(s)’ final pricing and the time given for me to receive payment.
- If revisions are needed, then we will discuss what needs to be done. With the Zoom meeting finished, I will proceed to work on said revisions and notify you when they are complete. [The pricing for revisions works differently that pricing for the project(s) themselves, which is detailed in the “Pricing” tab.] Another Zoom meeting will be scheduled, where we will discuss the additional work done, and if no more revisions are required, then the project(s) are officially completed. A service invoice will be provided, including the details regarding the project(s)’ final pricing and the time given for me to receive payment.
- As a note, please keep any possible revisions down to a minimum, if feasible. Any continuous revising over an extended period of time can hinder other work I could have for other clients. Thank you.
