Money Maker: Build Your Writing Business
With Shari Cohen
Listen to She Writes Founder Kamy Wicoff interviewing Shari Cohen
Are you effectively communicating the value of your services and linking them to the prices you think you're worth? Do you have to invent your "pitch" every time? Are you confident of what it is? Does it come across in your conversations and in your written and online materials? The second in a series on recession-proofing your career as a writer, this webinar will show you how to hone a good positioning statement about who you are, the value you bring, and specifically what you offer. A strong pitch, the first tool to build your business as a writing coach/consultant, is crucial in networking and platform building.
Take-aways from this interactive webinar include:
•Learn how to articulate clearly what you offer and the value you bring to the table.
•Jumpstart the process of creating or upgrading your materials: how you answer the question "tell me about yourself," in one-pagers about your services, and on your website.
•Lay the groundwork for linking the value you believe you have to the prices clients will pay.
Note: Each webinar in this three-part series stands on its own. However, for greatest benefit, also order the download of Become a Writing Coach—Double Deal: get both for $50 (that's $10 off)!
She Writes Preferred Provider Shari Cohen, a leadership coach and a writer, has worked with leaders in many fields and for organizations such as Doctors without Borders, The Aspen Institute, Bain, and the World Bank. She holds a certificate in executive and organizational coaching from NYU and a Ph.D. in political sociology from the University of California, Berkeley. She has taught international relations at Berkeley and Wellesley College, and her book, Politics Without a Past, is about leadership and change in post-Communist Eastern Europe.
It was Shari Cohen who helped me professionalize and become a true "solopreneur." She gave me the tools I needed to turn my writing, coaching, and consulting into a profitable business. She helped me access my confidence and change my mindset to see myself as bona fide business person rather than solely as journalist/author/ blogger. —Deborah Siegel
Hi Shari: I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful webinar! You've inspired me to pursue new and profitable paths with my skills as a writer. There will be many hours of mulling and thinking and planning before I get anything underway, and I'm looking forward to it. Many, many thanks. —Victoria S.
"Rebecca's webinar helped me re-conceptualize how I spend—and sometimes waste—precious time. You will learn specific tools and strategies to increase energy, tackle small or annoying tasks efficiently, and then clear your head, and your calendar, to focus on the big projects that are most important in your life, your work, and your career. You will also learn how to assess, evaluate, and improve the way you budget your time, by devoting yourself to the parenting and writing tasks that matter most in your life."
"Rebecca's webinar offers a fresh approach to the familiar time management crunch that characterizes the life of writing moms, myself included. I left the webinar with some new tricks in my arsenal—well worth the time!"
Being a mother and finding the time to focus on your craft is extremely difficult. Join She Writes Preferred Provider Rebecca Rodskog at this enlightening webinar, which will address your most difficult time management challenges. Rebecca will provide a perspective, a framework, and tips and tools to help you manage your priorities and truly focus on the right things at the right time.

Anne Liu replied to the discussion 'Where to Begin...' in the group Your First Novel"Welcome to the fun!
I think the great thing about being at the beginning of your first draft is that the first draft DOES NOT HAVE TO BE GOOD. It just has to get written. Finishing even a crappy first draft is a huge accomplishment, so…"
