Happy Thursday, friends!
“I just don’t know what to do.”
I’ve heard this sentence from three people in the last week and countless times over the last few months.
The truth is, the market is difficult right now. There are a ton of opportunities for smart, clever writers who know how to read the market and position themselves to meet current needs. Those writers will make more money than ever before because they’ll find niche clients with money to spend.
But writers who’ve spent the last ten years writing lifestyle, parenting, or personal finance content that is easily replaceable, both by AI and newer writers, will find it harder and harder to get work. That’s true regardless of whether you’re a freelance journalist, a content creator, or an author.
If the work you’re doing doesn’t require specialized knowledge or reporting skills, it won’t pay highly and it won’t last for long.
So, what do you do if you want to have a profitable career as a writer? How do you become the person with the niche clients who have money to spend?
1. You learn to spot current market opportunities.
2. You effectively communicate your unique skills.
Honestly, 99% of writers can easily do both.
And yet, a large majority just don’t know how.
And that’s where I’m offering to help.
For the next few weeks, I’m offering free strategy sessions to members of my community and readers of this newsletter. During these sessions, I will help you identify your unique skills and show you how you can use them to take advantage of the gaps in the market.
To be clear, these are not sales calls. I’m not trying to get you to buy anything. I only have two available offers—Wordling Plus and 1:1 coaching—and I don’t need to get on individual calls to tell you about those.
I have only two motives for getting on these calls:
1. I want to get to know my community more intimately, and understand where you’re struggling.
2. I know a lot of people are hurting, and I want to help.
These calls will be helpful for freelance writers, content creators, and authors who find themselves stuck in their careers and can’t figure out what to do or where to go next.
I can’t teach you how to do things (join Wordling Plus if you want help with that), but what I will do is understand where you’re stuck and what your biggest goals are, and help you figure out the best way to move forward.
Basically, I’ll help you map out a plan for the next right steps in your career.
Right now, a lot of writers are scared and worried, and this has never been a particularly easy career to begin with. Since there is no clear roadmap to follow, you may find yourself feeling lost and confused, unsure of what is likely to be the best choice given your circumstances and current needs.
Making complicated things simple is my forte. I know how to get to the heart of the problem. I can’t promise that the work will be easy or effortless, but most writers are not afraid of hard work. Where most struggle is with focus.
In our call, we will simplify, clarify, and amplify. That is, I will show you how to cut to the heart of the issue and simplify your business model, clarify your next steps, and amplify your effort so you’re actually getting results.
If you, like many in my community, have been saying that if you only knew what to do, you’d do it, then book a call with me, and let’s get you on a path that’s both simple and doable, and gets you fast results.
Cheers,
Natasha
