Freelance Writing Coach

An email newsletter is a great way to stay in touch with your audience and build your personal brand. But wait…is an email newsletter necessary? Will it actually help you market and sell your freelance services? In this episode, we share how we think about email newsletters and what we’ve seen from our freelance friends: the successes, downfalls, and our personal experiences.

Our work identity often defines a significant part of who we are. That's especially true when you're a freelance writer who depends on sharing yourself to make a living. But how do we explain this identity in our personal lives? What happens when we go to a party, and someone asks us what we do?

The writing process consists of three steps: (1) researching and outline, (2) productive writing, and (3) editing. But are the tools we use designed for this process? Are we as efficient as we think we are? Is there room to save time and increase our creative output? We sat down with Rob Carpenter, content strategist and Head of Marketing at Butter, to talk about ways to work smarter, not harder.
