Pam Foster: Bear Market Boom Times

As working writers, we’ve got to be ready to make the most of the unique circumstances we face.

After all, our skills with content and copy have the power to keep businesses alive and make them GROW.

Which makes us truly valuable players in the current economy.

Still, you won’t want to assume clients are just going to fall in your lap. There are some nuances about how you’ll want to approach your career — and approach your marketing — that are essential to understand.

So, I’ve invited a true industry veteran to come and talk with us about making the most of a bear market (and create bear market boom times in our lives).

On September 30, 2022, I sat down with Pam Foster, AWAI’s Learning Chief and a writer with four decades of experience at turning any market to your advantage.

We discussed:

  • How challenging times make writers MORE important, since businesses need to promptly communicate with their customers when changes and challenges occur
  • Some of the lucrative re-lead, web writing, website, and email projects you can take on during a bear market
  • How to find rich spaces of opportunity within your spheres of interest
  • Why retainers can be simpler than ever to negotiate (it has to do with stabilizing things for the business, too)
  • Your opportunities to be a consultant as well as a writer and how that changes your earnings 

Plus much, much more! Listen for the full scoop below:
