You already know that writing and publishing quality content can be a powerful business-building strategy. Relevant, useful content, not marketing copy. Content like articles, blog posts, tip sheets, ebooks. Content that helps people, inspires them, makes them think, or makes them laugh. You’ve seen bloggers, columnists, article writers, ebook publishers, and others use their writing as a springboard to business success. How do they do that? Could YOU do that? The answer is yes!

Business Building Writer

What you need is a very specific bag of tricks. You must learn how to use quality writing as a business-building tool, how to write your content so that your desired audience will want what your business offers, and how to put those elements together into a business-building plan. That’s exactly what I’m going to teach you in the Business Building Writer program. If you’ve been wondering, considering, or planning how you could use writing as a path to building a thriving business, this webinar series is for you.

Writing quality content transforms you from an anonymous business owner into a respected authority.

Since 1992, I’ve built a thriving business with writing as one of my key marketing and promotion strategies. I’ve written hundreds of blog posts and newsletter articles, several regular columns, multiple magazine articles, numerous ebooks and special reports, and six full-length books, one of which is a long-time business bestseller. Now I’d like to share my writing, publishing, and business-building secrets with you.

Fredi Baker

Your Business Building Writer program was just what I needed right now! You shared your wealth of knowledge freely, and inspired and motivated me to get back in action with my own business writing. The lessons built on one another, and there was so much rich content and feedback to draw from… I loved all your inspiration, and how do-able you made things! Your feedback was wonderful. Things shared in Dropbox — invaluable! Oh, and all the great resources you shared…

~ Fredi Baker, Master Certified Coach

Judy Voruz

A very practical guide to writing for your business that provides the essential practice, tools and knowledge you need to effectively use writing as a marketing tool… I took away more confidence that I have something to say, direct experience of the necessity to write on a regular basis, …how to organize my writing with an editorial calendar, and all the resources you gave us.

~ Judy Voruz, Family Addictions Counselor

What’s different about this program:
  • I’m not going to teach you how to write marketing copy. I’ll teach you how to write and publish useful content — informational, inspirational, or entertaining material that your ideal clients will want to read.
  • This isn’t a program on how to market using other people’s content. It’s about putting your own personal experience, ideas, and creativity into words, and making those words available to your desired audience.
  • You won’t have to hire a staff or become a full-time marketer to use what I teach you. Every tactic and tool I share will be tailored for solopreneurs and microbusiness owners.
  • This isn’t one of those programs where you’ll get generic advice and have to figure out on your own how to apply it. You’ll get personal feedback and direction from me, based on my years of experience working with professionals like you.
Quality content = useful, relevant, consistent writing and publishing. That’s what can build your business.
You’ll be learning:
  • Five simple steps to write a powerful, high-quality, business-building piece (you’ll use them throughout the program)
  • Tools, and techniques to make you a better — and faster — writer
  • How to make maximum use of social media to promote your writing, even if you don’t have a big following (yet)
  • Overcoming anxiety about people “reading your stuff”
  • Avoiding business-killing mistakes that you don’t want to make with your writing
  • How to get past the technical and logistical roadblocks that hold you back

  • A host of essential tools for the business-building writer that won’t cost you a cent extra
  • Models and templates to expand your writing horizons while keeping you focused on your business goals
