What Are Your Editing Options?
The existing options are fine, but we think there is an unmet need in the market.
Here’s how EditorNinja stacks up against your other editing options.
You could take a chance with these:
Change Nothing Or Team Fulfills
Pros
Keep doing what you’ve been doing.
Nothing changes.
Not a great option, but this is an option.
Alternative: put editing on an existing teammate.
Cons
Nothing changes. Your workload remains the same.
Teammates leave if they hate editing.
Low confidence that content is right and will convert.
"Edit-Free" Writers or Freelancers
Pros
Pick and choose your own freelancers on UpWork or Freelancer.
Work directly with them in your own systems.
Flexibility to try a few and pick the best.
Cons
Long hiring process.
You have to vet, hire, and pay them yourself.
Need to have your own project management system.
Questionable quality (aka, risky).
Freelancers often cannot handle an increased workload.
