Being a great writer, editor or designer may be the most common entry point for #contentmarketing careers, but data analytics and content strategy skills are the tickets to earning bigger salaries.

On work

[Kay @anti_ratrace]

I’d like to buy Grammarly Premium subscriptions (Quarter Plan) for 2 Nigerian/Ghanaian #freelance content #writers who are working hard to improve their writing ✍🏽 and pitch to new clients within the next 3 months 💼

DM 📥 and tell me about:

@weischoice Solid helpful advice. We often do not allow ourselves jump with both feet in and go for what we want.
We hope to get it but don’t wholeheartedly work to get it so that if we fail, it doesn’t hurt so much...

[Sonia Weiser weischoice.bsky.social @weischoice]

Unsolicited career advice: The best way to achieve a goal is to go at it head-on rather than through alternate/sneaky entry-points. When I started the newsletter, I hoped it would lead to more commissions for me. IT DIDN'T. I should have just pitched more if that's what I wanted.

This is the cold email I spent 90 minutes on back in June to land a $25k contract:

@kaleighf 😍 looking forward to it!

[Week of Saturdays®️ @weekofsaturdays]

As a writer, how do you scale your #writing business beyond yourself?

Are you limited by how much you can do in one day, week, month?

Do you attract more clients than you can manage or cold-pitch to get new clients? #WritingCommunity #QuestionsforWriters

@kaleighf @kat_boogaard @anti_ratrace @andy_mukolo @TheaFreelancers @AyomideOfulue @KasiaManolas @vitabenes @writeonkiah we’d love your take ☺️

@kaleighf FT work is a tough choice for autonomy-seeking freelancers.

Tried it when COVID hit in Mar 2020, and struggled because company communication was not asynchronous. As a writer, I felt burnt out within 3 weeks. Left after 1 month but have maintained a freelance work r/ship w them.

[Week of Saturdays®️ @weekofsaturdays]

@kaleighf Thanks for putting this together, Kaleigh. It clarifies the process for many experienced leaders who have experiences and lessons to share, but no time to write.

[Kaleigh Moore @kaleighf]

Don't have time to write, but have lots of ideas you'd like to get down and share?

Hire a ghostwriter.

Here's what you need to know about the process. Thread!
