Freelance SaaS Content Writer

 

We’re both here because we believe in content, and that it can be both pro-human and impactful to your business’ growth.

It can get your company in front of a new audience in search of a solution.

It can also give people the confidence to share their ideas at work. Or think about a problem from a new perspective.

But in the years I've been writing content, it's not usually a shortage of ideas or ambition that holds teams back. It's mostly a lack of time. You're probably juggling a few initiatives, across a handful of channels, while trying to maintain some level of balance.

Does that sound familiar?

Hi! I'm Steph Knapp

I write long-form content for SaaS companies and the humans who follow them. In the past four years, I've written 300+ pieces for companies, as well as my own SaaS email marketing blog. The truth is that even in a “formal” setting like business, we gravitate towards people and companies that we like. We're rational, but not entirely rational. Which is why building relationships with stories and content is so important.

I know you’ve also got big goals, though. Which is why I’ll do a happy dance alone in my office when we realize content we created is a smash hit.

Here are some of the results of my writing that have been dance-inducing:

  • 60+ articles that rank #1 on Google (including 20 featured snippets)

  • 20+ new customers and 1,000+ page views from niche-specific product pages

  • Grew organic traffic to my blog by 1,200%


Steph joined our content team for a 5-month-long project producing 51 product pages with licensing details for each of the US states. Despite the chance of repetitive subject matter, Steph managed to differentiate each piece of content, making it engaging and a pleasure to read. What’s more—we weren’t the only ones who thought so!

Steph’s pages have, in a short amount of time, already garnered over 1K views and 20+ conversions on our website. Her work was always delivered in a pleasant and timely manner, often with lightning speed. If you’re looking for a writer who can turn around content quickly while maintaining quality, I highly recommend adding Steph as a member of your contractor team.”

“Steph is an experienced writer that can take a brief and turn it into a great piece of content. We’ve been working with her on producing long-form blog posts focused on email marketing topics that range from non-technical, to technical - and she does a great job on all of them!

She’s extremely communicative, deadline-oriented, often submitting her work way ahead of schedule, and her turnaround on revisions is speedy and high quality. She understands how to do SEO writing, and does a lot of the heavy lifting by researching article titles and meta descriptions for you.

I think one of the best things about Steph’s work is it requires very little editing, and it’s really easy to set the article up into our CMS afterward. I definitely recommend Steph to any content managers looking for a stellar freelancer!”

Enough about me. Let’s answer your questions.

Am I a mind reader? No. But this isn't my first rodeo. Here are the answers to the questions you're probably asking yourself.

Do you have an hourly rate?

No. You shouldn't pay for more for the hours I'm distracted, and I shouldn't earn less for the hours I'm focused. Let's focus on outcomes and ROI, instead!

What goes into project costs?

If you need someone to work within a tighter budget, no hard feelings. There's a perfect freelance match out there for you, and I hope we can cross paths again in the future.

The clients who do work with me are paying for my years of experience writing on SaaS and marketing topics, as well as my focus on ranking, connecting, and converting.

Here's a sample of what goes into creating each and every blog post:

  • Finding relevant examples and stats to round out every post (which can include dipping into my personal treasure trove of SaaS email examples)

  • Writing with your keywords, audience, and goals in mind

  • Exploring your website and past content for plenty of relevant internal links

  • Editing each post for grammar, clarity, and tone before it makes it to your inbox

  • Resolving comments from a round of revisions by you and your team

Plus, since you don't have to hire me as an employee, you can bypass expenses like health insurance. Score! Studies have found that hiring a new employee can cost upwards of $4,000. Zoinks.


So how much will working with you cost?

The short answer—long-form content starts at $1,000.

These are the in-depth pieces that educate, empower, connect, and convert. If you need something longer or shorter, I'm happy to provide a custom quote.


What's working with you like?

One time a client said “As Tyra Banks said in the movie Life Size--you're a star, Steph.” I think it made my whole month.

Jokes aside, I try to make working with me easy breezy. Here are some of the highlights:

  • I always aim to turn content around in a week

  • No need to micromanage here—I keep clients updated on when I'm working on what, and set clear expectations on when they'll get a draft back before I start working

  • You'll have a special content tracker we'll collaborate on to manage assignments, due dates, details, and payments

  • I send invoices via Wave, so you can pay with credit card or bank payment


How do we get started?

I typically have space for 1-2 new clients a month, since I keep my roster small to maintain quality.

Interested? Send me a message below and I can send you more information about my process and rates.

Stephanie is a fantastic writer and a pleasure to work with: she’s flexible, knowledgeable, and is happy to interview subject matter experts and dig into research projects to ensure the content she delivers is expertly written.

I appreciate how Stephanie approaches the editorial process with an open mind and that she gracefully accepts and provides feedback where needed.

I would recommend and trust Stephanie for any writing project and am looking forward to partnering with her again in the future.
