Most writers value themselves way too low … [The Writer’ s Life]( September 19, 2022 "We are what we believe we are." –C.S. Lewis Happy Monday, {NAME}! Do you know what you're worth? Not your "net worth" per se … But your value as a writer? In my experience, most writers value themselves far too low … Especially when they're just starting out. Most writers don't realize just how much value they provide to a business. But without you, {NAME}, there is no business! A company can't survive without sales. Sales don't happen with marketing. And marketing requires words. LOTS and lots of words. Even if you're not the one writing the words … but are [editing the words]( to make them stronger … or strategizing what someone else should write … it still all comes back to the words. (i.e. You!) And what's more, your value grows and grows (and grows!) … It grows as you invest in your skills … It grows as you gain experience working on projects … And it grows as your knowledge of how businesses in your niche operate increases over time.
