In our current podcast series, I interview the owners of 4 very different writing businesses and we dive deep into their marketing.
Today’s episode is the third of that series. I interview Eva Gutierrez, who’s currently based in Los Angeles, California.
Eva is an incredible content writer, who has landed some heavy-hitter clients like Digital Marketer and ConvertKit, after a couple tough years of taking any work that came her way on UpWork. Eva has really honed in on her marketing process so that she brings in the right type of clients and builds long-term relationships with them.
And, because she has such a great system, Eva now coaches freelance writers who want to take ownership over the trajectory of their career and fast-track the client acquisition process.
Don’t forget to visit the show notes for this episode below, so you can learn more about Eva’s services and improve the content marketing you do for your business.
“When it comes to my writing business, my goal is not to build out an agency. And that is a really important distinction because that says that I don’t need a lot of clients.” – Eva Gutierrez
