Why you need this business planner
You can read hundreds of articles about how to get started as a freelance health writer (we have plenty of them here!).
But here’s the truth: If you don’t have a plan, you will struggle to get started.
If you want to give yourself the best chance of succeeding, planning is essential.
(And don’t let anybody tell you otherwise!)
There’s no point finding clients or pitching articles if you don’t know what you’re offering or how to back yourself.
You need to take the time to determine:
- What kind of health writer you are
- Who your ideal clients are – and where to find them
- The health writing services you will – and won’t – offer
- Your key marketing messages and brand voice
- The most suitable strategy to market your business
The Freelance Health Writer Business Planner is designed to help you stop procrastinating and start acting. If you want to know how to get started, this is it!
