A great freelance copywriter or copy consultant can level up your marketing efforts—but finding one sure ain’t easy. There are hundreds of copywriters out there trying to make a name in SaaS, each one claiming to be an expert.

So, which ones are actually worth investing in?

In this article, we’ll look at 11 freelance copywriters who specialise in SaaS and can help you with your growth challenges.

What factors to consider when choosing a freelance SaaS copywriter?

Every SaaS copywriter will have slightly different experience and expertise, so it’s worth researching how they stack up on different factors:

• Niche experience. Serious copywriters will be able to get to grips with new markets and products quickly. However, finding freelancers with existing knowledge of your niche can help shortcut the onboarding and research process.

• Past results. Look for freelancers who can demonstrate results in their testimonials, or at least satisfied clients.

• Strategic approach. Make sure the copywriter you choose is not simply selling their ability to write well, but also understand SaaS buying journeys and sales strategies.

• Professional training. Look for freelancers who invest in their own development in some way, e.g. by taking professional training certifications.

• Personal marketing. Look for providers who at least have the basics in place, like a Linkedin profile and website with convincing writing.

Be warned though—copywriters who tick all these boxes are often booked up for months in advance. So the sooner you start reaching out to potential providers, the better.

FAQ:

What are the qualities of a good SaaS copywriter?

A good SaaS copywriter will have a strong grasp of copywriting and persuasion strategies. They will also know how to tailor these to the specific goals of SaaS companies, such as increasing conversions. They may also have skills in search engine optimisation, UX, data analysis, and brand marketing.

Perhaps most importantly, good SaaS copywriters will understand the challenges of the broader SaaS landscape, along with the specific niches they work in. They will be able to think strategically in order to help clients achieve numerous goals simultaneously—for example, improving the clarity of a company’s message whilst also reflecting their brand voice.

As SaaS is highly competitive, SaaS copywriters will often know how to use user and market research to identify the best messages for a specific audience.

Who are the best copywriters in SaaS?

It’s hard to say exactly who is ‘the best’, because most copywriters do not make their work and results fully public. SaaS copywriters with a strong reputation include Rachael Pilcher, Josh Garofolo, Andrew Yedlin, Jess Kiernan, Diane Wiredu and Jon Evans.

What is the difference between a copywriter and a content marketer?

While there is some overlap between the two roles, content marketers focus on creating content that informs and educates audiences. Copywriters focus primarily on marketing materials that influence the reader to take some kind of action.

For example, content marketers might create a strategy for attracting and engaging audiences that involves blogs, videos, white papers, case studies, and ebooks. Copywriters will often create the assets that ‘sell’ the user on reading the content or buying the product they relate to—such as landing pages and product sales pages.

The roles will vary across companies, and many copywriters will often write content too. In my opinion, all copywriters can write content but not all content writers can write copy. This is because many of the skills needed for content writing—like storytelling, simplifying concepts, and writing concisely—are also used in copywriting. However, the techniques of persuasion, empathy and psychology used in copywriting are generally not used in copywriting.

What are the benefits of working with a SaaS copywriter?

SaaS copywriters will help you identify the most effective ways to speak to prospects at specific points in their buying journey. They will help you to optimise your message so that it gets prospects’ attention, speaks to their logical and emotional needs, and sells the benefits of your solution.

What’s more, SaaS copywriters use skills in SEO, UX, market research and Conversion Rate Optimisation to enhance your results. They will typically be adept at writing in a concise, engaging manner that appeals to broad international audiences.

What are some online marketing skills for SaaS copywriters?

SaaS copywriting is subtler than other copywriting disciplines, typically taking a ‘less is more’ approach. However, it’s highly strategic and incorporates market research, user research and data analysis. SaaS copywriters often have skills in SEO, conversion rate optimisation, branding, and UX.
