Content Marketing Writing Track Sessions Help You Turbocharge Your Freelance Business

The Content Marketing Writing track of the 2023 ASJA Virtual Conference June 13-15 features speakers and panels designed to help you increase revenue, boost productivity, and rise above the competition.

The track boasts a line-up of top-notch industry experts who cover such topics as the craft of writing compelling content, running a successful freelance business, and diversifying what you offer to maximize profits.

“It covers everything I wish I’d known before booking my first content marketing client,” says Rachel Murphy, a healthcare and personal finance content writer and journalist, and Content Marketing Writing track co-chair.

“Our speakers are respected voices in the industry and bring a wealth of experience and knowledge,” says Ellen Sheng, a finance editor, writer and editorial consultant and the track’s other co-chair.

Speakers and panels include such subjects as:

• Finding opportunities in brand journalism
• Establishing yourself as a freelance writer
• Neurodiversity and the freelance writer
• Finding your “Hell yeah!” value proposition
• Monetizing your expertise
• Using a virtual assistant
• Optimizing your online presence

• Mickey Butts, thought leadership content agency owner, business editor, writer, and content strategist, who has worked with the New York Times and Boston Consulting Group
• Ed Gandia, business-building coach and strategist who helps freelance writers increase revenue
• Micah Gause, copywriter and content marketing specialist
• Atlas Katari, neurodivergent freelancing coach, content creator, and community builder
