✍️ Break Into Freelance Marketing: A ClassStack Session for Writers Who Want to Earn More Without Adding Clients

How to pivot your writing skills into premium marketing services — and get paid more for what you’re already doing.

Not every writer needs to become a marketer.

Let’s start there — because at ✍️ Make Writing Your Job, we’ve got plenty of community members who are thriving with purely freelance writing work (which you may have seen from our latest ClassStack panel with writers who landed high-paying writing work from the job board!).

Ghostwriting memoirs. Editing books. Writing newsletters, white papers, blogs. If that’s your lane and you love it — stay in it. You don’t need to pivot just because a few LinkedIn bros said the word “content strategist” too many times.

But maybe your inbox has been a little quieter lately. Maybe you’re feeling the squeeze from AI. Maybe you’re just curious about how to earn more from the writing work you’re already doing — without adding more clients or working more hours.

That’s where freelance marketing comes in.

In this class, we’re not talking about quitting writing to become a full-time TikTok consultant. We’re talking about smart, strategic upskills that make your writing more valuable — especially to clients who care about ROI.

Here’s what that might look like:

• You write blog posts — and you learn to optimize them for SEO and AI search tools like Perplexity and ChatGPT, so you can charge more per post.

• You write YouTube scripts — and start advising on titles, thumbnails, and channel strategy, turning yourself into a scriptwriter and a YouTube strategist.

• You’re a copywriter — which already requires marketing chops — but you sharpen your offer and start charging premium rates by speaking directly to results.

• You’re a book writer or editor — but you start offering book launch support, helping clients write Amazon listings, social content, or press releases that actually convert strangers into book buyers.

Writing and marketing have always been two sides of the same coin, because both require clear thinking and creativity.

This ClassStack session isn’t about reinventing your career. It’s about expanding your toolkit — so you can get more out of the clients you already have, show the value of your work more clearly, and maybe even future-proof your business a little along the way.

And if none of that is for you? Totally fine. You’re still invited to join us and see what’s possible — no rebrand required.

In this live class, ✍️ Make Writing Your Job founder Amy Suto will walk you through:

• Why freelance marketing is the perfect pivot for writers in 2025 — and how to use it to AI-proof your income

• The smartest ways to upsell your writing clients without adding new ones

• How to show ROI so clients are eager to rebook you (and refer you)

• Where to find premium writing + marketing jobs — and how to use both the ✍️ Writing Job Board and our brand new 📣 Marketing Job Board to your advantage

• What not to do when repositioning yourself as a marketer (we’re looking at you, Canva-overloaded pitch decks)

• Time for Q&A to answer your specific questions

This class is for writers who want to stay creative — but also want to start charging like the strategic partners they already are.

You’ll leave with a simple strategy for expanding your services, landing better projects, and earning more per client — all without burning out or going back to school for an MBA.
