I am a writer, still commenting so hard for me. Don't know why? As a freelance medical content writer, I’ve written pieces of over 1500 words, worked in the field for almost 5 years, and have no trouble with presentations or pitching ideas. But one thing I still struggle with? Commenting on LinkedIn. Every expert out there says the same thing: to increase engagement on your profile, you have to engage with others’ posts. Comment meaningfully, add value, and you’ll grow your network. But, honestly? I just can’t seem to get it right. It feels unnatural to me. Am I the only one? If you’ve had the same struggle but found a solution, I’d love to hear it! #medicalwriter #medicalcontent #writer #freelancer

The Joys of Unexpected Inspiration One of the things I love most about being a freelance content writer is the constant influx of fresh ideas and perspectives. It is not just about the topics I research and write about, but the insights I get from fellow professionals and contacts. The other day, I was chatting with a contact in the business brokerage sector. We were not discussing a specific project, but the insight on how they are overcoming the challenge of creating a single message that resonates with both buyers and sellers sparked a fascinating train of thought for a completely different client. It is these unexpected moments of inspiration that keep freelance content writing exciting. Sometimes, the most valuable insight comes not from a rigid brief, but from the organic flow of conversation and the exchange of knowledge. #freelancewriter #contentwriter #creativity #inspiration #communication #collaboration #learnings #openconversation

A massive career transition from Pharma to freelance content writing, And then to full time content writing wasn’t easy. There was the usual “oh I’m not qualified enough, I’m not experienced enough, I’m not skilled enough”. But the worst of them all was “how, when, what, why”. I was thinking more and doing less. The day I decided to go for it anyway, things started working out. ✅ You are capable enough ✅ You are skilled enough ✅ You are talented enough All you need is a little belief in your self and the efforts you’ve put in. Ps: Have you had a career transition recently? #careertransition #contentwriting

As a freelance writer, consistency is key to delivering value to my clients. I’ve developed the SLOW framework to ensure I’m always at my best for businesses like yours: 1️⃣ Social: I have tried to prioritise sharing insights and updates on LinkedIn and Instagram to stay connected with my audience. This visibility helps me understand market trends and client needs. 2️⃣ Learning: Continuous growth is essential. I’m actively engaging in courses and groups focused on generative AI and social media marketing, ensuring my skills are always sharp and relevant to improve your projects. 3️⃣ Outreach: I believe in proactive communication. By regularly reaching out to former clients and potential leads, I maintain a robust pipeline, ready to tackle new challenges for your business. 4️⃣ Writing: While I write daily for clients, I also dedicate time to my own projects. This practice fuels my creativity and enhances the quality of work I deliver to you. By embracing the SLOW framework, I ensure that I’m not just a writer, but a strategic partner in your content journey. Let's connect if you’re looking for a dedicated content strategist and writer who prioritises growth and connection. #FreelanceWriter #ContentMarketing #BusinessGrowth #MarketingStrategy

Always knew that I can create a piece but never had the courage to start. Eventually after gathering a lot of courage and spending time into creating this piece, I was able to complete it successfully. Thankfully, being a freelance content writer, I could manage time accordingly for this piece. In today's world where AI is taking up major things even artwork, I hope I will be able to retain the creativity in me both in the space of content writing and artwork. PS: I know there are minor or major flaws but every first thing is memorable. Just like I remember my first content writing office and still in touch with the colleagues rather friends, this will always be a memorable one. #creativity #art #wallart #contentwriter
