About Technical Writing Services
A good technical writer is the crux of content management and consumer communication for product and tech companies. While many product and programming managers believe they are skilled at writing, the truth is that they are too laser-focused on the technical aspects of the job (as they should be) to understand the marketing aspects of writing to consumers. When you are too close to a product, app, or software you will tend to write about it in a way that only you understand.
A contract technical writer can help you create or modify instructional content to support your products, software and services.
What Does a Contract Technical Writer Do?
Technical writers compose unique, custom content related to your company’s offerings. They often have a marketing background, which allows them to translate complex concepts into basic language that the everyday consumer can understand. That content may include:
- How-to articles showing customers, step by step, how to use the product or software.
- Blog posts that provide support and information to consumers and partners.
- Technical manuals and instructional materials that are available online or in print form with products that are easy to follow.
- Images and charts that help demonstrate the proper way to use your products and services.
Have you ever received a product in the mail that needs to be set up or assembled and the directions were too confusing to understand? How frustrating! That’s why your company needs an experienced contract tech writer with a marketing background. Technical writing services will help improve the user experience by leaps and bounds, improve customer reviews and increase sales over time.
Hiring an Experienced Contract Technical Writer
When hiring a contract technical writer to help your company, understand that you must first allow ample time (two weeks to a month) for a review of your company’s products, services or software. The more the writer knows about your offering, the better the content. The technicalwriter may need to get a hands-on experience with physical products to properly compose how-to articles for your consumers.
