The 13 best freelance SaaS content writers to hire in 2024

If you’re a SaaS company trying to execute a content marketing strategy, you need great writers. Skilled freelancers can help you ramp up content—or bring in niche expertise that you don’t have in-house.

There are tens of thousands of content writers out there, but finding good (and reliable ones) can be tricky. In this article, I’ll list some of the best ones writers working in SaaS today. Contact these folks to shortcut your search and get straight on with producing killer content!

What qualities should you look for in SaaS content writers?

·        Content writing skills.Experienced content writers know how to break down complex topics, relate them to user needs, and subtly weave your brand’s narrative into the story,

·        Researchabilities.Good writers need to explore complex topics and find new angles quickly. Some experienced writers also have interview skills that help them unearth insights from subject matter experts.

·        SEO skills. Skilled writers will understand SEO best practices and how the search engines ‘read’ content. They’ll know how to optimise an article without turning it into a key word-stuffed mess.

·        Professionalism. You’re not just looking for writing skills, but a reliable provider. Look for freelancers with a proven track record, or at least an online profile that suggests they’re dependable and easy to work with.

 

Non-essential but desirable qualities:

·        Content strategy.Writers will create better content when they understand how it fits into your overall strategy. They can also identify the best topics to create content around so that your marketing strategy has more reach and impact.

·        Niche knowledge.High-level writers will be able to work for almost any niche, so this is a lower priority. However, experience in your niche can help the writer hit the ground running.

FAQ

What are the best platforms for hiring SaaS content writers?

Popula rplatforms for finding content writers include Fiverr, Upwork, People Per Hour,Ndash, Freelancer.com, Flexjobs, and Guru. 

However,I can tell you that from the freelancer’s point of view, these platforms are not great. They often put the writer at the mercy of bad clients—for example,on some platforms, the writer cannot get paid until the client approves their work, but clients can take months to deliver feedback if they want to. 

For this reason, most high-quality writers avoid these platforms. My best recommendation is to search for writers on Linkedin, or simply use a search engine to find writers. Many of the best writers have their own websites, andall of them are on Linkedin. 

How much does it cost to hire a quality SaaS content writer?

You can find writers to meet almost any budget, and there are freelancers offering blogs from as little as $10. But the best content writers will usually charge between $700-3000 for a blog post (depending on length and complexity). 

Who are the best SaaS content writers or agencies for engaging and converting enterprise clients? 

Top SaaS content agencies for enterprise include OGM, Flying Cat Marketing, Growfusely, Beam, and Animalz. Top enterprise content writers include Jon Evans, Kaleigh Moore, Marijana Kay, and Mike Keenan. 

Who are the top SaaS content writers with a proven track record? 

SaaS content writers with impressive results and client testimonials include Jon Evans, Kaleigh Moore, Shadz Loresco, Mike Keenan, Rachal Pilcher, Steph Trovato, and Doug Paton.
