Some courses are more about marketing strategies than content writing. Why should I take these?
Learning marketing strategies provides writers with a greater understanding of where their work lies within the client's marketing funnel. This knowledge allows you to adjust the wording and offer suggestions to the client that will best improve their content, messaging to customers, and content strategy.
