As a writer, I can tell you that nothing is more frustrating than a client that lacks the following things:
Communication
As people, we are required to be in contact with other people for our own sanity. In this business, it is easy to go insane when a client lacks communication and keeps you hanging for hours at end. It is easy to understand that some have busier schedules than others, but a simple message explaining the delay is not much to ask. This way, we do not need to worry that we've been blacklisted from your contacts or completely ripped off (which does happen occasionally).
Details
We cannot read your damn mind. If you need something, be specific! It is our job to write what you are looking for, that is only possible if we KNOW what you are looking for. Giving a writer poor details will result in a poor article. The majority of us are willing to do research (though some may bark up the cost), don't be afraid to ask. Nothing is more delightful than a 300 word message about exactly what a client wants. That way, if the article doesn't come out as you asked, it is purely writer error.
Deadlines
It is obvious that we more likely than not can write and know how to do so just fine. That being said, one of our main goals is priority. I can't tell you how many times I've completed all assignments that actually had a deadline before those that did not. By saying WHEN it is needed you will receive it much faster. If you do not, expect your article to be at the bottom of the list.
This is just a simple post for those that may have error in buy articles. Please, be a good client, for the writer's sake and your own. You are wasting both of our time if you do not tell us what you want and give us what we need.
