Build a powerful and personal editorial brand identity

Brand matters. If your editing or proofreading business looks no different to any other, your ideal clients won't know what makes you different, and why they should bother commissioning you.

This isn't a course just about logos, colours and photos (though we'll look at those, of course) but about creating an emotion-based brand identity that’s rich in the flavour of you, and compelling to the people you'd love to work with.

PRICE: £59.99

Who is this suitable for?

A fellow editor asked me if this course was suitable for newbies.

What can I tell you? If I had known what I teach in this course when I was starting out, my business life would have been a lot easier! I’m not one for regrets but I struggled for years to develop a brand identity, and wasted a lot of time because every bit of marketing (which I am passionate about) took longer – all the decisions would have been so much more targeted if I’d had this behind me.

In 2017, I bit the bullet and invested in training with two amazing pro marketers, Andrew and Pete, and for the first time in my editing career, branding seemed accessible. I fell in love with the framework they taught me, and adapted it for editors.
​
So, yes, it’s perfect for editors at any stage of their career.

Before Louise’s course, I found myself taking jobs I didn’t want (but felt I had to), undervaluing myself, and suffering from impostor syndrome. Post-course, I am confident in my unique strengths as an editor and writing coach, and I understand how to best target and serve my ideal client. If you’re a skilled editor but find yourself drowning in a sea of other well-qualified freelancers, Branding for Business Growth will forever put to rest the uncertainty of how to market yourself. You will know who you are, what you have to offer, and who you want to serve.

I recently completed Branding for Business Growth. Although I’ve been a freelance editor for some years, and am an Advanced Professional Member of Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), I felt that my website (and social media presence) just didn’t fit with what Louise so aptly describes as ‘the flavour of me’. Much of what I needed to show prospective clients was on the website, but lost in a sea of ‘look at these qualifications and irrelevant experience’. Louise inspired me to update my brand.

Using the framework she teaches, I looked in detail at not only my offering, but at the type of authors I want to interact with.  I used my relationship with existing ideal clients to help me understand myself better. Now my website not only reflects my personal values better, but also looks more professional. This is all down to your influence, Louise. Your course is brilliant.

I was really struggling to complete my website and get my editing business off the ground. I’d actually made five awful, generic, and soulless attempts and was ready to throw in the towel. I didn’t have a clear idea of my brand and this was really holding me back. I bought Louise’s Branding for Business Growth and, honestly, it was money well spent. I worked my way through the course and by the end of it I had a really clear idea of what kind of editor I wanted to be, who I wanted to work with, and how I wanted to present myself. The modules were very easy to follow and I loved all the activities and clips. If you’re struggling with finding your brand identity, I heartily recommend this course.
