Best Practices for Hiring a Freelancer?

[a17cc272]

Hey everyone!

Very new to Upwork, here; and new to hiring Freelancers, period! I am starting a blog and hoping to post a job or two for a few small posts to help get me up and running, faster. Does anyone have any best practices to share with me so I don't go into this wrong?

For example, upon completion of the contract:

• is the Freelancer to be credited in the blog post? Or would the blog post be expected to be presented as though the Client wrote it?
• can the post be tweaked by the Client? (ie. modifying to add media or links to posts/pages that may not be available yet)

Thanks for your help, Upwork Community! Any other tips or general expectations are much appreciated!
