FAQs, links to coursework, and more

What is a Specialty Badge?

A Badge is a recognition of your specialized skills, serving as a testament to your expertise in areas such as video scripts, ebooks, SEO, and more. It can be earned through completing courses from SEMRush and Hubspot Academy or completing jobs on Scripted. 

 

What are the Qualification Criteria?

Any writer tier can search for a specialty badge. Badges are required to be on Gold and Platinum tiers and we encourage Bronze and Silver writers to complete coursework for badges, as this will streamline the process of getting onto a higher writer tier once eligible. 

 

How Can I Obtain a Badge?

You can obtain a badge rather by completing coursework from SEMRush and Hubspot Academy or completing a number of jobs in a certain amount of time on Scripted. You can find more details below. 

 

Why should I earn a badge? 

Badges are displayed on your writer profile to build trust and highlight your expertise. They give you an edge in the smart match process, which searches for expertise based on content type and industry matching. Earning Hubspot and SEMrush certifications can boost your writing career beyond Scripted. Please note that additional coursework will soon be required for Gold and Platinum tiers.

Some courses are more about marketing strategies than content writing. Why should I take these? 

Learning marketing strategies provides writers with a greater understanding of where their work lies within the client's marketing funnel. This knowledge allows you to adjust the wording and offer suggestions to the client that will best improve their content, messaging to customers, and content strategy.
