When you need to write about cryptocurrency, it is sometimes hard to decide the best person to hire. While you want the content written to meet the best grammar and punctuation standards, you also want to keep all the technical stuff intact. That would require someone who is a bit of a writer, and a scientist. Someone who can turn codes into interesting stories, and someone who has spent a reasonable time writing about the blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
Striking a balance between technicality and communication is a rare skill. That does not mean you will never be able to find someone who can do what you are looking for. You will find many talented people who know all the technical stuff, from elliptic curve cryptography, zk-SNARKS, and hash functions all the way to off-chains and side chains. These persons may know cryptocurrency as much as you do, but they may not be able to talk to your readers without troubling their tentacles. It makes no sense if your readers cannot understand what you are talking about. On the flipside, is not the best approach to write about technologies like the blockchain in a way that makes them lose their scientific appeal.
You will also find writers who do not have first hand experience with Java, Solidity, Html, CSS, or Python. Get this right. You do not need to hire Vitalik Buterin to work for your project, but you must know that some experience with codes puts a technical writer in a better position to explain how stuff works.
Whether you are writing an ICO whitepaper, press release to get your word out to the crypto world, or an article that tells your story. You need to hire a fine writer who is fit for the job for the best results. You need someone who can make things simple enough, and get readers interested as soon as they read. It will also interest you to know the history of the writer you are about to hire.
Ask these questions:
Can I see what you have written before?
Do you have any idea about the fundamental programming language or math behind the blockchain?
Do you guarantee error free original work?
Can you work with a team of highly technical people with engineering and math backgrounds?
If you get a positive response to all these, chances are you are a step closer to hiring the best hand for your cryptocurrency project.
Consider the value such a talented writer will add to your team, and discuss a fair wage for that.
Make sure to look at past reviews and comments of previous clients. There may be something here for you.
For press releases, ask about the reach of the publishing website or daily visitors. Do not pay more for a lesser reach.
