Visually attractive cover

No matter which industry your writing services are for, a good first impression will always increase your chances of closing a deal. In this freelance writing proposal template, the first thing your client sees is a nicely designed cover, fit for a world-class freelance business like yours.

From the text, logo, and background image, you can change everything to make it a better fit for your project requirements.

Pre-written introduction section

Our introduction section is the best way to show potential clients your writing skills and the summary of services you will provide them. This template comes with a pre-written introduction section that is already structured to suit your proposal's design. All you have to do is add a few specifics, and it's ready to be sent out!

Like everything else in this template, it's completely customizable, including the colors, text, images, and layout.

Processes and timelines

Explaining exactly how freelance writing can improve content marketing and the company's social media strategy to an outsider can be challenging. You want to give enough detail, but not so much that it seems overwhelming.

Luckily, our Plan of action section is already made to fit the perfect amount of information. Add some details specific to your services, and it's good to go!

Case study example

The best way to present your work to a potential client is by encouraging words from a previous one. To be taken seriously, you need to show that you understood the client's project scope and you presented a practical solution in the proposal. For that reason, we've set out a model case study.

All you need to do is replace our example with one of yours and use the structure we've used.

Pricing

No matter how you want to charge for your services, you can make it happen with this high-quality pricing table. All you need to do is put the numbers in, type a short one-line description of your services, and the quote is done.

You can adjust it to specify charging per hour, per project, and even add optional up-sell services, such as blogs or social media posts!

Next steps with digital signing

One of the biggest reasons freelancers don't get their marketing proposal templates signed is because they don't give clear instructions on how to purchase their services. This proposal template comes with a 'Next Steps' page, which you shouldn't have to change at all. Simply add the next steps you will take your client through and ask them to sign digitally by typing their name and clicking Accept.

Our digital signatures are 100% legal and compliant. Once your client signs, you can see the digital signature certificate in your Better Proposals account.

Pre-written contract

Every freelancer who writes their own proposals needs to add a contract to cover their work. To make it easier, we've found the best examples from the industry experts and adapted them for you to use.

We're not legal professionals and don't pretend to be on the internet, but if you're not using anything, this will give you a good start. That said, get a legal professional to read it over.

Get paid straight from the proposal

No more messing around with invoices, no more waiting for checks to clear. This proposal template lets you take payments directly from the proposal, using the integrations with PayPal, Stripe, and GoCardless.
