Managing a content team with remote writers

“It's instrumental for our operations team. The support is second to none.”


– Anna Bastiaannen, LUSSO

If you’re managing your writers manually with spreadsheets and task managers, Camayak can save each editor up to four hours a week in admin tasks by seamlessly handling:

Agreements

No need to use a third party tool to handle contracts: all writer agreements are handled automatically when you invite someone to contribute to your team.

Submissions

Writers submit their work directly through Camayak with no need for Google Doc folders or endless email chains. Edit their work in one place then publish directly to your CMS.

Payments

When a writer has their work approved, they receive payment within 24 hours and a 1099 at the end of the year if necessary.

There’s a difference between hiring writers and managing a team of remote writers. It’s one thing to pay someone for their work, but keeping a team motivated and harmonious where there’s no physical office to work in takes skill and energy.

Camayak started as a workflow platform and now also identifies qualified writers to become part of your network.* Throughout that time, we’ve had two guiding principles:

New writers have to understand the platform with no training, in under 5 minutes

Every editor needs to feel like they are being supported by an invisible assistant who takes care of all the menial tasks around managing assignments

Camayak doesn’t make the coffee, or organize the Christmas party. But it does enable writers and editors to build stronger bonds over time by replacing the manual effort that goes into keeping track of all your tasks in different places.

Teams using Camayak appear professional to their contributors and can have confidence in being able to scale up when the time is right. That’s because Camayak automatically makes sure that:

Writers are always paid on time

All editorial feedback is in one place

Personalized inboxes and calendars are kept up to date without any manual effort

If you’re thinking about implementing a system for your team that can outlive your current skill set or resources, get in touch to arrange a free trial.

* Writer availability depends on your vertical and requirements. Let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll get back to you with an assessment.

Why is this better than the free tools we already use?

We built Camayak after we asked ourselves:

How much time do we lose each week, chasing incomplete information about assignments?

How easy is our process for new writers and editors to understand in less than 5 minutes?

How visible is our collaboration to the rest of the team, so they remain motivated?

Since we launched in 2010, we've helped thousands of editors, advisors and contributors get more from their workflows.
