Writers’ Worth Month: Content Mill Conversation with Lori Widmer

Lori Widmer - Stealth Marketing QuoteEarlier this year, Lori Widmer stopped by the All Freelance Writing Podcast to guest co-host an episode on everyday marketing for freelance writers. Our chat ran long, so some segments had to be cut.

That included a ten-minute segment about writing for content mills. We also touched on a simple tactic for finding better gigs and leaving mills behind -- something Lori calls "stealth marketing."

This month, Lori is hosting Writers' Worth Month over on the Words on the Page blog, and as my first of two contributions this year we thought it would be fun to share this extra audio segment with you.

Stop by Lori's site to check out "On Content Mills, Desperation, and More Effective Freelance Marketing" and catch up on the great posts in the Writers' Worth Month series so far.
