So You Want to Be a Content Writer, Do You?

We’re always encouraging our community members to get involved. Here’s your chance to become one of our content writers.

At Procurious HQ, we pride ourselves on the quality of content we produce. Over the past two and a half years, we have carefully crafted a selection of high-quality content for you to peruse, digest and enjoy.

And while we’ve had a lot of fun doing it, we think it’s high time for even more of you to get involved.

We’d like to offer you the opportunity to get your work published on Procurious. There are great storytellers in the community, with great stories to tell. And we want to hear them all!

Not only is it a great opportunity for you to dip your toes into the blogging water, but it’s also a great chance to raise your own profile.

I Don’t Know Where to Start…

If you’ve attended a social media workshop run by Procurious, you’ll have heard us say that procurement needs to do a better job of selling itself. We need to improve the brand of procurement by better communicating the interesting stories that we know are out there.

Every single procurement and supply chain professional has a story or experience that is unique to them. From the weirdest thing they have bought, to the worst negotiation experience you have had, your story can help others no matter the subject.

And even if you don’t think you have a story to tell, your experience in procurement is just as valuable. There’s a pretty high likelihood that your experience could help one of your peers sometime in the future.

My Specialist Subject is…

Ok, so you don’t think your a great storyteller. There’s nothing wrong with that! But how about a subject only you can talk about? If you had to go on Mastermind and answer procurement questions, what topic would they be on?

Over the past couple of years, our community members have talked about a range of subjects, including:

• Why Indirect Procurement Fails to Deliver Savings to the Bottom Line
• How to Encourage Your Suppliers to Go the Extra Mile
• Successfully Adding Social Value to Contracts

Or how about telling us what it’s like to work in procurement in your part of the world? In the past, we’ve had a range of countries and experiences, including, Wales, Brazil and the Ukraine.

Content to Spark an Idea

Still stuck for something to write about? Why not draw inspiration from the events Procurious has held in the past year?

The Big Ideas Summit 2016 brought together thought leaders and procurement executives from around the world. We had great discussions on:

• Cognitive Technology
• Technological Disruption
• Addressing Procurement’s Blind Spots and Key Risks

Or how about our Career Boot Camp, held back in October. We asked some of the biggest influencers in procurement to share their tips on boosting your career.

Get inspired by:

• Knowing the skills you’ll need to become a CPO
• How to incubate and grow your own big ideas
• The benefits of working with social enterprises

Build Your Profile

Being published on Procurious is going to help to raise your own profile in the procurement space. We will share your article across social media, where we have a global audience of over 50,000 people.

What’s more, if your blog is one of the most popular during a week, then it may be added to our weekly ‘Best of the Blog’ eDM.

So now it’s your turn. Sharpen those pencils, put fresh ink in your pen and tune up your keyboard – and get writing!
