Julia Rose | How to PUBLISH your work & put yourself out there
Today, I’m sitting down with Julia Rose, a Content Writer and Communications Expert.
Julia is doing INCREDIBLE work in the realm of helping people press publish on personal essays.
I know I know, you just checked out as soon as I said the word “essay” right, but our guest of the show today, Julia Rose, is going to walk us through why personal essays can be the secret to expressing yourself, launching a successful brand and being a subject matter expert.
I am SO fond of Julia’s work and love what she’s created inside of her Hello Writer program. The story of how she created this group experience is something you won’t want to miss, if you ALSO aspire to launch a group program or online course at some point.
In this episode, Julia and I talk about…
How being fired (on a Friday!) was the catalyst for her to start her own business
The impact that publishing her work on Medium.com had
A simple method for choosing what to write about
How to get over the fear of putting yourself out there
Navigating through imposter syndrome, when you feel like there are other people out there who are more established
And how to find your first few clients
This is SUCH a fun episode and I can’t wait for you to learn from Julia Rose.
