When you join Scripted, you get opportunities to develop long-term relationships with the clients and account managers you enjoy working with.
Take a moment to send clients positive messages when they accept your projects. Ask them for feedback that will help you perfect your pitches. A little extra communication shows that you want a long-term working relationship instead of a quick job.
Scripted's account managers can also help you find projects that match your skills. Get to know the people who manage accounts on the platform. When they know they can trust you with priority clients, you will get work that pays well and pushes your abilities.
Scripted developed SmartMatch to help match customers with the perfect writer instantly. When a customer submits a request for a SmartMatch order it gets offered to a pool of writers that match the order criteria and all writers in that pool have a chance to pick it up. If you match that order, you’ll be notified and can pick it up instantly.
The SmartMatch system saves you the time of creating unique proposals for each potential job and allows you to instantly pick up jobs that match your skills and experience.
Do you like coming up with unique ideas for blog posts, video scripts, ebooks, and more? Scripted allows you to reach out directly to customers and pitch your own ideas for them to order instantly from you.
This feature allows you to research and write about a topic that interests you rather than wait for a content order to come along. As you grow your relationship with customers you’ll be able to learn what kind of content they need for their business and approach them with your unique ideas.
When you pitch an idea on Scripted, you get to set a price that you believe is fair to the client and your experience. Clients can even send you an additional tip to reward you for excellent work.
Every project has a minimum price that ensures writers get paid a fair amount. You always control how much you charge, but the minimum prevents writers from drastically undercutting each other for jobs.
Some writers at Scripted use the platform to earn a little extra money. Others rely on it as their main source of income.
You can use Scripted to write as much or as little as you want. As a freelance writer, you control your schedule.

As a freelance writer, staying organized can be a big challenge. As a Scripted writer you can manage all your customers, jobs, and pitches in one dashboard so you know what to prioritize and what stage every job is in. Each job is placed in one of these four stages:
Proposals – pitches that clients are still considering. Writing – assignments with upcoming deadlines. Editing – projects in the editing stage before they get sent to clients. Ready for Review – jobs now in clients' hands ready for acceptance.You can also use the Scripted dashboard to manage your Writer Portfolio, writing samples, payments, and job invitations.
