Process steps

Gather content requirements

1 days from previous step

task

Before you start writing, get the details nailed down. Talk to the client and capture what they actually need - the topic, key messages, tone, and any must-have elements. This upfront work saves everyone from painful rewrites later.

Create Draft 1

1 days from previous step

task

Time to write the first draft. Use the requirements you gathered and create something the client can react to. Don't aim for perfection here - this draft is meant to show direction and get early feedback before you invest too much time.

Approve Draft 1

Please review this first draft carefully. We're looking for your gut reaction - is this heading in the right direction? Check if the tone, messaging, and overall approach match what you had in mind. If something feels off, let us know now while changes are easy.

Create Draft 2

task

The client had feedback on draft 1, so it's time to revise. Read their notes carefully and address each point. This isn't about defending your original work - it's about making the content really useful for them.

Third time around. By now you should have a clearer picture of what the client wants. Apply their latest feedback and tighten up the content. If you're seeing conflicting feedback, reach out for clarification before revising.

Approve Draft 3 (Client)

1 days from previous step

task

Here's draft three with your previous feedback addressed. We're getting close now. Look for any remaining rough edges - grammar, flow, accuracy of facts. If this is ready to go, approve it. If not, be specific about what needs to change.

Create Draft 4

task

Four drafts in - this is serious refining. At this stage, the structure should be solid and you're polishing details. Make sure each revision brings you measurably closer to approval, not just moving things around.

Approve Draft 4 (Client)

1 days from previous step

task

Draft four is here. We're in the home stretch. At this point the content should feel almost ready. Review with fresh eyes and check the details - spelling, names, dates, links. Approve if it's good to publish, or flag the final tweaks needed.

Fifth draft. If you're still here, consider having a quick call with the client to align on expectations. Apply their feedback carefully and aim to nail it this round. The goal is a final version everyone can be proud of.

Approve Draft 5 (Client)

1 days from previous step

task

We've worked through your feedback over multiple rounds and this fifth draft reflects everything discussed. Give it a thorough review. If it meets your expectations, we're ready to publish. If not, let us know what's missing.

Create Draft 6

1 days from previous step

task

This is the final revision round. Six drafts means we've been through a lot together. Take the client's feedback, apply it precisely, and deliver content that hits the mark. If scope has crept, now's the time to have that conversation.

Approve Draft 6 (Client)

1 days from previous step

task

Final draft. This version incorporates six rounds of feedback and should be exactly what you need. Review it carefully one last time. Once you approve, we'll move forward with publishing.
