"How to Make Writing Your Day Job" with Shennandoah Goodson

We all dream of the day we can quit our “real” jobs and write full time. But did you know that you could make a living writing full time, no book deal required? That’s because the rise of the digital age has put writers in demand. Businesses need copywriters who can blog, develop websites, write newsletters, capture customer testimonials, and crank out content for search engines.

What copywriting is: It’s getting paid to write text for business and marketing materials.

What it is not: its not copyrighting, the process of securing ownership over one’s creative work.

In this workshop we will cover how to get businesses to hire you and how to deliver the goods. Specifically we will discuss:

What types of businesses are hiring writers
How to get the gig
The rules of writing for marketing and business
How to write for the internet (a.k.a SEO for dummies)
