You hit the nail on the head. The validation of interest transitions the idea towards the end goal. We plan to share each step along the way as we grow the list to our community. Thanks for your input.
I launched my startup (http://write.my) over the weekend and it would have to be the first paying client and the demand of freelance writers applying (we had 100+ applications in the first 3 hours which was really exciting to say the least).
We hand screen all of our writers and take into account writing experience and education background. Once you have applied and we feel you would be a good fit, you will receive further requirements and instructions.
Sounds good, but how do you screen them? The application to become a writer asks for an email address and name and education level, none of which determine whether the writer is good or not. Don't you think it makes sense to ask for at least a portfolio, websites, links, etc. to judge whether they are good? Are you contacting everyone who applies as a writer right now?
I think you bring up a good point and that is something we will look into as we grow our writer base. Currently, we are contacting all writers who have applied with additional requirements and instructions to complete the process.
I appreciate your input.
