The LAST edition of this newsletter...
How to write prolifically, create blog ideas, and overcome writer's block
Newsletter #072
Welcome to another edition of The Write Stuff—your weekly round-up of useful resources we’ve found online, specifically for content writers.
This week we have some news. This will be the last edition of The Write Stuff.
There are two of us who have been writing this newsletter: you can keep following Kirstie and her career as a freelance dating and relationship columnist here.
We also don’t want to leave you hanging when it comes to freelance writing help.
Click here to get Eva’s weekly training for freelance writers. Every Friday, she sends out a training on topics like:
How to raise your rates with clients
3 red flags to look out for in bad clients
How to find high-paying writing jobs
Average rates for freelance writing projects
What successful writers all have in common
Here’s what writers have to say about the trainings:
“I love all the emails you send by the way. They are so valuable! The last one around how to get a raise as a writer, and how you share different ways to respond…”
“Thanks for the email. It was just what I needed.” and “Love this breakdown!!”
And now for the final edition of The Write Stuff…
The Idea Farm: How to Sow, Grow, and Harvest Great Blog Post Ideas
Ideation is one of the most daunting parts of freelance writing. Whether you’re creating content for yourself, or your client casually asks, “do you have any ideas for content this month?”—there’s a right answer and a very wrong answer. How do you know the difference? By knowing what great blog post ideas are ahead of time.
Harvest great blog post ideas through your idea farm.
How to Write Prolifically
For some writers, this is the goal. You want to be the next James Clear or Brianna Wiest, accumulating such a large online following that your IRL books fly off the shelves. But, how do you make your writing *so* good, people are dying to hold it in their hands?
The secrets to becoming a prolific writer.
How to Overcome Writer’s Block
We’d like to imagine that even the greatest writers stumbled into writer’s block at some point in their careers. Today, that looks like a blinking cursor on a blank document page—teasing you as you try to figure out your first word. Here’s some advice from professional writers: Kaleigh Moore and Emma Siemasko go over their process for getting words on the page in this podcast episode.
Get words on a blank page (when you’re struggling to write anything).
Even though The Write Stuff is coming to an end, we’ve sincerely enjoyed showing up in your inbox every Monday with writing resources, advice, and guidance.
Keep following Kirstie as she works with companies like Coffee Meets Bagel and Meta to help them create dating and relationship content here.
