Are You a Talented Professional Writer? Read This … http://ift.tt/1E9tDzE @copyblogger #blogging #AutoTweet

Copyblogger loves writers. We always have.

For more than nine years now, the writer has been the most important person we write for. Week in, week out.

I’ve written about making a living as a professional writer.

And I elaborated a bit on that, unpacking some of what it takes to move from “good writer” to “smart, well-paid content marketer.”

It’s why we created our list of Certified Content Marketers.

And it’s why we’re opening that program shortly to a new batch of writers.

This isn’t the biggest-selling training we offer, by any means. Because it’s made for a select group of people — strong, talented writers who want to make a better living.

Maybe it’s made for you.

If you’d like to take our Certified Content Marketer training, drop your email address in the form below. We’ll let you know how to get started.

I’ll also send you some of my own thoughts, tips, and experiences on how to become more successful in a very competitive setting.

(I was a freelance copywriter well before I joined the Copyblogger crew, and a professional writer for many years before that.)

What's the Certified Content Marketer program about?

The program is a training course designed to take good writers and develop them into great marketers.

The five-week course is taught by me and Brian Clark, with additional bonus material offered after the core sessions.

Brian and I will give you:

• Our best, most current thinking on how to position yourself (and your clients) for success.
• The framework that paves the way for successful content.
• How to put together a sophisticated content marketing strategy.
• How to craft the strategic content types that will make up your program.
• The specific techniques behind effective email marketing, SEO, social media marketing, online courses, and more.

Important: Not everyone who takes the training gets certified. Everyone on our list of recommended writers has had their work individually evaluated by someone on the Copyblogger editorial team — either me or one of my smart and thoughtful colleagues.

For good writers, this is a major plus. We vouch for the quality of work of every Certified Content Marketer. Being on that list reflects very, very well on you.

Even if you chose never to apply for certification, you'd benefit from the training. We've put together a completely new, updated version of this course for you, and I think you're going to get a lot out of it.

The training will offer you:

• A more sophisticated content strategy model (for yourself and for your clients).
• New, highly valued services you can offer.
• Exclusive Certification Q&A sessions with me and Brian, to help you through any "stuck spots."
• Materials to help you build a smoother, more polished relationship with clients.
• A higher degree of professionalism.

If you're looking for a "certification mill" where you pay a fee and maybe pass something like a multiple-choice test, this one isn't for you.

I think that's the real strength of this program. I suspect you do, too.

If you do, drop your email address into the form and we'll let you know what to do next.
