Creating your optimal profile in Legal writing
Your profile is your chance to make an excellent first impression with potential clients. When creating your profile, be sure to highlight your legal writing experience and skills. You should also include any relevant credentials or education in the legal field. If you have a strong portfolio of previous work, be sure to showcase it prominently on your profile.
If you're new to legal writing, don't worry. You can still create a strong profile by highlighting any relevant experience you have in other areas of writing. Clients are looking for well-written content, so be sure to showcase your skills and abilities in your profile.
How to create long-term relationships with Legal clients on Scripted
Once you've landed a few legal writing jobs, it's essential to build long-term relationships with your clients. The best way to do this is to deliver high-quality work that meets or exceeds their expectations. If you can create a strong rapport with your clients and become a trusted member of their team, you'll be more likely to win future work.
You can also build long-term relationships with clients by responding appropriately to their needs and requests. If a client asks for a revision, turn it around as quickly as possible. If they have feedback on your work, take it on board and use it to improve your writing. Showing that you're flexible and willing to work with clients will help you build strong, lasting relationships.
The Benefit of SmartMatch for Legal writers on Scripted
Scripted's SmartMatch system is an excellent way for legal writers to find the best-fit jobs for their skills and experience. When you apply for a Scripted writer account, you'll be asked to detail your experience so that we can match you with the right jobs.
You can also use SmartMatch to find legal writing jobs outside of your usual area of expertise. For example, if you're a legal writer specializing in contract law, you can use SmartMatch to find corporate law or tax law job openings. This is a great way to broaden your horizons and expand your legal writing skills.
SmartMatch is a job alert system that allows you to search for jobs and see the job title, pay rate, and other data before you claim projects. Simply check your email to see the latest job alert that matches your skills and claim projects directly from your inbox.
How to create pitches to win Legal jobs
Once you've found a few legal writing jobs you're interested in, you can start crafting your pitches. When writing your pitch, be sure to address the client's needs and requirements directly. Show them that you have a strong understanding of the legal issue at hand and explain how you can help them write content that is clear, concise, and easy to understand.
If you have any previous experience writing about the same or similar legal issues, be sure to mention it in your pitch. This will give the client confidence that you're the right person for the job. Finally, be sure to proofread your pitch carefully before sending it off. Typos can be a big turn-off for potential clients, so double-check your work.
By following these tips, you'll be on your way to landing legal freelance writing jobs that are a good fit for your skills and experience. With a bit of effort, you can build strong relationships with clients and become a trusted member of their team.
