Tools for Freelance Writers: The Full Client Workflow Kit
Tools for Freelance Writers: The Full Client Workflow Kit
Freelance writing means juggling assignments, rates, contracts, deadlines—and the constant search for new clients. If you're building your business and want fewer gaps between projects, this kit gives you the tools to run a clean, professional process from pitch to payment.
Everything in One Place. No Guesswork.
This isn’t about writing better headlines or finding your niche. This is about what happens before and after the writing itself: outreach, onboarding, admin, and client care.
Here’s what’s inside:
→ First Contact Email Template
Start conversations with potential clients clearly and confidently—without overthinking every word.
→ Rates Report
A quick-reference breakdown of pricing benchmarks across niches. Useful for setting or adjusting your own rates.
→ 2 Cold Pitch Templates
Pitch new clients with direct, no-fluff emails that get to the point—and get responses.
→ 2 Follow-Up Pitch Email Templates
Stay on their radar without being pushy. These are for the prospects who haven’t replied yet.
→ Onboarding Email Template
Bring a new client into your process quickly. Set expectations, confirm scope, and reduce back-and-forth.
→ Proposal Template
When you need to put numbers and deliverables in writing. This works well for retainers and one-off projects.
→ First Call Checklist
Not sure what to ask on a discovery call? Use this list to cover scope, budget, timeline, and decision-making.
→ Customizable Contract Template
Protect your work and time. Fill in a few blanks, send it off, and move forward knowing you're covered.
→ Content Writing Brief
Get what you need from clients before writing starts—audience, goals, tone, and keywords—all in one doc.
→ Invoice Template + Instructions
Send clean, simple invoices that don’t cause confusion. Includes how-to notes if you’re invoicing for the first time.
→ Monthly Client Report Template
Show your clients what they’re getting from your work. Especially useful for ongoing content retainers.
→ Client Offboarding Template
Wrap up a project smoothly. Leave the door open for future work while making a good last impression.

Find out how the project went from their side. Identify ways to improve—and gather testimonials.

For the times you need to request late payment in a professional, firm tone.
