If a writer pens something in quarantine and no one is around to read it, does it make a sound? No. No it does not. Marketing your work or your business is essential to building an audience. Whether you want to get more people to buy your product, describe yourself more memorably on your website, or simply answer the question “What do you do?”, you need to know how to talk about your work in a way that sets you apart from everyone else. We’ll talk about the basics of self-marketing from social media to websites to that ever-important elevator pitch. This workshop will strengthen your voice and build your confidence. Guaranteed.
