I have a lifetime’s experience in content writing – content for different kinds of documents, reports, submissions, blogs, websites and administrative manuals and tutorials. I believe that exceptional content writing (especially when it is content for material to boost the client’s business, products or service) starts with letting the client indicates what is needed and then determine through research what are the strong points of the business, products, service or topic. Only then can the content writer produce the material requested by the client. Being a business-owner myself for many years I have the ability to grasp business initiatives and aims easily - aspects that have to be considered when writing content, whatever the purpose of the document or posting. When asked to evaluate or edit administrative work-manuals and tutorials (to be utilized be employees or clients) I also believe that the editor has to consult with employees/clients before the evaluation or editing is finalized. I not only have the practical experience of writing and editing but also have the academic background enabling me to conduct and use research without plagiarism. My formal tertiary qualifications are BA (THED) at the University of Pretoria and BA Hons at the University of South Africa (UNISA). Over the years I’ve also attended and completed many relevant courses regarding communication, marketing and content writing. Tasks and projects I’ve been involved with over the years include • preparing of submissions, speeches and reports, • conducting marketing campaigns, • developing working manuals and tutorial material. (In 2019 I assisted with the content development of experimental tutorial material for an Australian company.) Apart from my earlier senior posts in Government Service I also was • co-owner and Honorary Executive Officer of Gola Khula Training CC, • founder-member (and currently still Director) of Insurgency Finance (Pty) Ltd, • founder-member (and currently still Director) of Delmi (Pty) Ltd. My process is straightforward: 1) We connect (by email or otherwise) so I can listen to what's needed, the finer details of your business, project or topic, and the characteristics of your target audience. 2) I then dive into performing the research and produce unique material focused on your customers. 3) I’ll then send over the content for your review and will complete final revisions before the due date of delivery. In summary: 1) I will listen to what you as the client need. 2) I can produce virtually all types of content you require including (but not limited to) posts, blogs, documents, reports, submissions, administrative manuals, tutorials, website pages, articles, newsletters, marketing material or emails. 3) I perform in-depth online research from respected sources and ensure all content is 100% original. 4) My work will always be done in English (UK or US), and if you have a South African audience I can also deliver content in Afrikaans. 5) I will always present the first draft before the agreed date of delivery so that you have ample time to review. 6) I pride myself on client satisfaction, so as long as you stay within the original parameters, I will gladly provide unlimited necessary revisions before delivery.
