Ep. 12: How to Position Yourself as an Expert, Even When You Don’t Feel Like One
Tuesday Jun 11, 2024
Tuesday Jun 11, 2024
In this episode, Cara Ray will discuss how we can position ourselves as experts in our writing fields. You may not feel like an expert, but in truth, you have knowledge and experience other people can and will benefit from when you share it.
We’ll also discuss how we can build our platforms by providing value to our readers with a free (but valuable) piece of content called a lead magnet. This does two things for us: It helps establish us as an "expert" with the problems we solve in the minds of our readers and helps us build an email list as well. Get ready to be challenged and grow in this practical session that will set you apart as the expert you are!
You can learn more about Cara's work as a writer, copywriter, and community builder on her three websites.
To access Cara's subsequent teaching and the teachings, resources, and community of our many other gifted writers, try the Writers' Bloc for FREE for one week.
Now, pull up a chair and learn with us as we explore the art and heart of writing together!

Monday May 27, 2024
Monday May 27, 2024
We know that as Christian writers, we want to bring glory to God with our words. But sometimes the worldly definition of success creeps into our thinking and expectations. Cara will explain how we can use our God-given gifts, to grant grace to others and give glory to God. As we do, we'll be challenged to redefine success through the biblical lens of service, stewardship, and overcome our common enemy of imposter syndrome. You'll be encouraged in this session with a clearer understanding of just how much your creativity matters for the Kingdom.

Writing is our creative expression and words are the vehicles we use to minister to others.

How might we safeguard our souls and give ourselves space to build rhythms for writing that are holy and whole? Ronne will lead us in practical wisdom and exercises to build healthy, sustainable rhythms for both writing and rests.
