We see FAR too many beginning writers come into this profession with a vague idea of what they “should” or “need to” be doing regarding marketing, and they end up wasting their time doing all sorts of things that aren't strategic and likely won’t lead to the desired outcome, which is clients and revenue.
You can’t afford to waste time when you’re starting your freelance business. Time is money, folks. You need to maximize every minute you’re INVESTING in your business.
Here’s how to do that: GOALS.

In this episode of The RN2writer Show, Beth talks all about clients goals! We see a lot of people plunge into freelance writing with the idea that “everyone” is a potential client. Their notion is that getting writing work is hard, and so they should take on any company or individual that is willing to pay them.
That’s nonsense. In fact, that is not true for ANY business. All successful businesses have a particular “ideal client” that they market to.
So let’s talk about what kind of client goals you can set up for your business.

In this episode of The RN2writer Show, Beth talks about several types of financial goals you can set for your writing business. All business success starts with goal-setting. Without goals, you can’t create action plans for achieving those goals, you can’t measure your progress, and you can’t engage in data-driven decision making. Those things are important!
So let’s talk about three financial goals you can think about setting up for your business.

Health writing is not about publishing research papers or writing about your experiences as a nurse. Professional health writing involves creating a wide variety of content that’s generally published on the web. A few examples of the types of health writing that nurses and other health professionals get paid to write include:
Consumer health articles Web pages Patient-facing blog posts Brochures Case studies White papers Industry blog posts Industry news articles Video scripts…and much, MUCH more!
And in case you think you need experience writing any of those things before you can become a paid health writer, think again. Freelance writing is very much a “learn on the job” profession.
On today’s episode of The RN2writer Show, we’re demystifying how health writing works so you can see for yourself how easy it is to get started. We’re showing you the step-by-step process of how health content gets created and published so you have confidence that you really can do this.

Nurses sometimes limit themselves to writing only about things they know, but that can be a mistake it can put you in competition with a large field of less-qualified writers who cover the same general, evergreen topics.
To separate yourself, you should stay ahead of the trends in healthcare so you can always be pitching articles about emerging health topics – while using your nursing knowledge to inform that content in ways non-clinician writers simply cannot.
On today’s episode of The RN2writer Show, we’re covering the five most fascinating health trends of 2024 that should be on your radar so you can niche up and become the go-to expert writer on these subjects for any editor!

Many nurses are looking for work-from-home gigs, but have you noticed how many of those are…boring? Reviewing patient records for lawyers? Boring! Filing reports to insurance companies regarding the appropriateness of healthcare expenditures for an insured? Yawn.
Why not use your CREATIVITY to help people as a nurse?
You can do exactly that as a nurse-WRITER.
Yes, this is a totally legitimate career. Nurse writers are self-employed businesspeople. Best of all, there’s no “network marketing” (aka: pyramid schemes) or “hard sales” tactics involved! Just you, being your own nice self, serving clients who love working with you.
In this episode of The RN2writer Show, we’re going to tell you all about the little-known nursing niche of health writing – and why it’s the best work-from-home nursing job you’ve never heard of!

Nursing school doesn’t give you a business degree, but then again running a freelance writing business doesn’t require an MBA, either. Nonetheless, nurse writers should familiarize themselves with common business concepts – and one of those is understanding how (and why!) to diversify your income streams.
In this episode of The RN2writer Show, I talk about my approach to diversifying my income streams – and how any freelance writer can do this.

When nurses ask me about freelance writing, they often want to know what a typical “day in the life” looks like. I can tell you one thing: It looks nothing like the chaos of bedside work!
As a freelance nurse writer, I rose when I wanted in the morning, lingered over coffee and breakfast, worked a few hours in my serene home office, went out to lunch with wine or cocktails with friends, went antiquing in the afternoons or puttered in my garden…or read a book. You get the idea!
Freelance writing makes a great career for nurses precisely because it’s the antithesis of the frenzy of clinical practice. I’m happy to describe for you a typical day in my life as a nurse writer so you can see for yourself what a wonderful career this is!

In about 2011, I did a bold – some would say “foolish” – thing: I left behind the security of nursing for a career as a writer.
Say what?
Yes, I became a professional writer. And eventually I ramped my business up to $100,000 a year while never working more than 24 hours a week.
On this episode of The RN2writer Show, I give you a little background on my personal story of why I transitioned from nurse to writer, and I share the exact path YOU can take to become a six-figure writer, too. Regain control of your life, escape the bullying, and live the peaceful, prosperous life you deserve.

You don’t have to be a Margaret Atwood to make great money as a freelance health writer, but you do need a fundamental grasp of grammar, composition, and voice. It’s the latter item we’re talking about today on The RN2writer Show.
“Voice” can refer to a brand’s standard for the style in which it speaks to its target audience. For example, a brand voice can be irreverent or solemn or something in between.
“Voice” also applies to a particular type of sentence construction. Specifically, when we write consumer health content we want to use “active voice,” not “passive voice.” But because nurses and other clinicians READ so much passive voice, they often struggle with this aspect of creating the type of content editors love.
Let’s fix that today by showing you some easy ways to identify and root out passive voice in your writing.
