I’m THRILLED to share that I’ve been invited to teach a session on personal branding for freelance writers during the week-long Launch A Freelance Writing Career course  put on by Quistic (Penelope Trunk’s latest startup!)

Personal branding is a topic very close to my heart…and one that I speak about to PR groups and college students quite frequently, so I’m excited to have the opportunity to teach aspiring freelance writers why personal branding is so important when building a business online.

Here’s what the course is all about:

This course will not only give you a look at everything you need to know to become a freelance writer, but when you finish,  you will be ready to put what you learn into action to build a freelance writing career. Whether you would like to freelance on a full time basis, do it to supplement your current income, or learn freelance writing skills to get your product or service noticed, this is the place to start!

It’s taught by FIVE freelance writing experts and each session features a different topic:

Day one: The Basics: Creating a Path for Your Freelance Writing Career with Lauren Tharp
Day two: Online Marketing For Freelancers with Dana Sitar
Day three: Find New Clients By Carving a Niche with Steph Auteri
Day four: Personal Branding For Freelance Writers with Jessica Lawlor
Day five: How Not To Go Crazy When You Decide to Freelance with Kelly Gurnett

The Details:

• This course is taught exclusively online through video.
• It costs only $47! A steal when you consider you’re getting five hours of instruction from five experts.
• The course will begin on March 24- no worries if you can’t make the sessions live! They will be available to you forever and ever via video.

Because I’m teaching this course next week and then keynoting TWO different PR conferences on personal branding on March 29, I thought it would be appropriate to declare this week Personal Branding Week here on JessicaLawlor.com.
