What problem does a writing strategy solve?

Most writers struggle with how:

1. Crowded the writing space is and

2. Challenging it is to make a dollar.

Writing is a strange field where most work is published for free. Without clear direction focus on understanding the forces that shape the writing world, writers struggle to achieve success. Writing thousands of words for pennies isn’t the dream you had in mind. What you don’t need is to work harder, but more strategically.

In one sentence, a writing strategy helps a writer:

· Identify their long-term goals and objectives

· Identify their strengths & their differentiating factors to build core competencies,

· Understand their competitors & their field,

· Identify their audience

· Instill a process of continuous growth,

· How to execute their strategy through powerful habits

· Measure progress against targets
