A writer’s calling is driven by a need to create a legacy or testimony. There is hope that the words will inform, comfort or inspire others. At first, even if only one person is responds it feels like validation enough. However, if writers keep at it, they want to reach a broader audience. Then they need a platform, like publications and social media marketing.
But how does marketing feel like being a writer?
I feel like writing is a way to put some truth in the world. It’s a tool. Marketing is a way to sell things. It’s also a tool. Writing in the service of marketing wants impact and action.
