Software for copywriting business owners
A website rewrite, an email sequence and a product description set need different inputs and review arrangements. Microtra gives the copywriter a place for business scope, time and invoicing while the actual drafting, editing and approval of copy stay in the tools you use.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
Audience research, interviews, content structure and revision rounds affect the work behind a finished page. Define the deliverable and included process so a short piece does not carry an unstated commitment to unlimited research and rewriting.
A marketing contact may collect comments while a business owner approves the final version. Without a clear commercial contact and review arrangement, a new stakeholder can reopen work that the original contact considered finished.
Another landing page, a changed offer or a revised brand voice can alter the assignment. A request in a friendly message still needs comparison with the original scope before it becomes part of the expected delivery.
Reading source materials, interviewing staff and building an outline use time before the draft looks complete. Reconstructing those hours from document history makes business review harder, particularly when several client assignments overlap.
How Microtra helps
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Save Client contacts, billing preferences and job notes for deliverables, review contacts and practical deadlines. The Other setup uses Job and Client. It does not provide a specialist content editor or linked manuscript records.
Explore this featureUse estimate items for discovery, agreed writing deliverables and separately approved additions. Enter your own quantities and prices after considering the full brief. Microtra does not generate copy, score writing quality or choose a content strategy.
Explore this featureTrack job time with a timer or manual entries for interviews, preparation and revisions. Review the entries against the commercial agreement before invoicing so internal effort and billable effort are not automatically treated as identical.
Explore this featureRecord expenses and receipt photos for relevant subscriptions, reference materials and other business costs. Review income and outstanding invoices alongside those expenses rather than judging the business by the length of the draft queue.
Explore this featureA day in the life
Clarify the audience, offer, deliverables and information the client will supply. Agree who gathers feedback and who approves a scope change before the writing process begins.
Describe the agreed work in an estimate, including the review arrangement and anything excluded. Arrange interviews or review calls on the schedule where useful, leaving drafting and editorial planning in your established writing workflow.
When another page or revision arrives, compare it with the accepted scope and discuss any change directly. Update the business description before continuing so the eventual invoice is not the first notice of extra work.
Review the delivered work, approved additions and billing arrangement. Share the invoice PDF through your device and record payment received elsewhere, while keeping final copy and editorial approvals in your professional document process.

It does not generate drafts, check brand voice or manage tracked editorial revisions. It organizes general client, job, time, expense and invoicing records around the writing work you perform in separate tools.
Use item descriptions, quantities and prices matching the agreed fee structure. Time records can help your own business review even when the client buys a defined deliverable rather than billable hours.
Explain the effect on the deliverable and commercial agreement, obtain approval through your normal channel and revise the estimate or job description. Do that before carrying out additional work rather than relying on an ambiguous message.
Other starts with linked records off and has no specialist article record type. Keep editorial files and publication workflow in suitable tools, and use the job description for the business scope that needs invoicing.
