Amna The Solopreneur Copywriter’s Post

I’ve been hiring a live-in editor for a creator. It’s insane. He is SO much more meticulous about this hire compared to hiring a remote editor or in office editor. When you’re hiring someone to live with you, you don’t just care about: - skills - experience - portfolio You also care about: - character - values - habits It highlights to me that there is more to a person than just their skill. Character matters too and I overlooked this myself until I was hiring people. So if you’re job hunting, don’t just focus on building your CV. Build your character too.

We had 450+ folks apply for our content lead role in 24 hours 🔥 Some quick thoughts on scaling talent density @ Verbatim: 1. Talent is everything - especially true in service models In an agency or service-based business, your people are your product. If you want to sell a better product, you need to hire the best in the world - full stop. 2. Quality comes first, followed by speed and agency Quality has been our northstar from day one. Speed is a fast follow. Rapid turnaround times + sprinting to deliver in time-bounded deadlines is crucial. 3. Ability to communicate clearly is wildly underrated As a 100% remote business, our team at Verbatim needs to be able to communicate with eachother clearly, efficiently, and concisely - without ego. 4. Top writers wants to work closely with top writers Talent attracts talent. The same way the best engineers want to work with the best engineers, top marketers want to be in the same room with eachother. 5. Full-stack writing (lifecycle, social, ads) is critical As B2B content evolves, every new content team member we onboard needs to be able to effectively create long-form, short-form, and lifecycle assets. Lots more to share as we ramp up our hiring this quarter ⚡

You don’t always have to be the “perfect” candidate. -      Consider how you might meet a job’s qualifications in non-traditional ways (e.g., maybe you haven’t been a magazine editor, but you worked at DIA or a CCMD reviewing long range analytic products or assessments.) -      Spell check your resume and cover letter and any comms going to the hiring team; if they’re looking for attention to detail and exceptional English, you don’t want to make silly errors that undermine your hard work.

I'm a copywriter. Want to know my latest strategy? All the research you do to write your copy successfully, share it with your client. Want to take it a step further? Add actionable recommendations. Not satisfied? For social media focused brands, create a style guide. You're still reading? Find gaps in their competitors content strategies, show them those too.

The job market is more saturated than ever before! Simple roles attract an overwhelming number of applicants these days. Seemingly niche positions are getting flooded with interest. Even highly qualified professionals are having to grind it out for months without any luck. It's a harsh reality check. Companies are inundated with candidates no matter what role they're hiring for. You could be the perfect fit on paper and still struggle to stand out from the crowd. With so much competition and fatigue, I want to do a small act to try and help ease the strain: → If you're currently hiring for any roles, share the details here. → For those struggling with job searches, check the comments, apply to any relevant roles. → Make sure to mention this post when applying for an added connection. Let's lend a hand rather than just commiserating about the harsh hiring climate. A simple share of real openings could expedite someone's search and bring income relief sooner.  If we have the power to open doors: 1. We should pay it forward and spread the word. 2. Help however we can, even if it's a minor act. You never know what small gesture could be a massive win for someone in a rough spot. I'll go first: Mile is hiring for a Freelance Content Writer...Go for it, apply. P.S. I saw a post of a person doing this noble deed, and I knew I had to do it too. 💮

I am now a recruiter and content creator. In 12 months I have delegated: - Delivery - Onboarding - Sales The only part of the funnel left for me is: - Retention - Recruitment - Leads My new questions to answer daily are: - How are we getting more leads? - How are we retaining quality and growth? Prior to building our team it was: - How are we getting more leads? - How are we closing those into sales? - How are we onboarding them well? - How are we delivering our service? - How are we keeping clients happy? - How are we getting more artists? It’s different. It’s new. It feels uncomfortable. It also feels freeing. As I continue to hand over the control of pillars in the business the more control over the business I am gaining. When you wear 5 hats you can only give each one 20% of your all. Now I just carry 2 hats which get my 50%. And the kicker?! 3 hats now have someone giving it 100%! That’s profitable math. That’s how to be a profitable creative. I’ve put a framework together for myself to follow, it’s called the ‘5 Pillars of Profit’. If you want to test your business against the pillars that are causing us to grow in profit and enjoyment, let me know! Keen to see if it works for you too.
