Hey Kenny, this is such an awesome interview! Very inspiring because it’s super relatable lol. He seems like someone who just loves sharing content and provides value to his audience! I also love how he mentioned the distinction between freelance work and sharing content. I think it’s important for writers to know which path they prefer when they start. Thank you so much for sharing this! Your newsletter is awesome by the way! Just subscribed! :)

Glad you’ve enjoyed it, Khadejah!

I also think it’s cool how intentional Janis is while building his business. He really focuses on quality and long-term relationships. Very inspiring!

I think most people would prefer to write their own stuff. But I might be biased! I would probably always recommend people to do some client work. It takes time to make something work for ourselves.

And thank you so much for subscribing and the kind words. I really appreciate it!

Hey Kenny, I totally agree! Long-term relationships are extremely important and make the work worth it! And ya, super important to dabble in client work even if some writers aren’t successful with it right away. At the very least, it helps build relationships and credibility. Keep up the great work! :)
