Hoping to introduce yourself as "a professional writer" one day? Bet you didn't know there are writing specialties beyond copywriting and novelists! Moreover, many writing professions will allow you to travel while you work, be that as a nomadic worker or to be able to meet other responsibilities like family care. Moreover, you can earn a lot more in several writing professions than the average fiction writer.


Now that you're persuaded to consider becoming a professional writer, consider your strengths and what you enjoy before choosing a specific career path.

Here are some job titles that are going to rely primarily on content writing, and that you might not have come across without being in the industry:


  1. Ghostwriter

These people tend to write in the voice of executives or busy leaders, for their social media, blog, or speaking events.

  1. Blogger

Blog writers are specialist roles requiring SEO knowledge and could be either employees or contracted for one-time gigs on many different blog sites.


  1. Brand journalist

In the words of ClearVoice, brand journalists write press releases or customer stories that are often pitched to third-party media.


  1. Technical writer

It can be hard to transition into content marketing after being a technical writer but it is a good place to learn about content creation processes.


Writers who want to focus on multimedia, videos, and short content creation would likely find a lot of this type of writing work in a marketing-focused role.

What other expertise might you delve into as a writer?


  1. Tech storyteller

"A Tech Storyteller is someone who translates complex topics [and tech's] impact, for everyone it impacts," says Jennifer Riggins, Freelance Tech Storyteller.

Riggins highlights one of the hardest skills that writers need to learn: translating something technical into either clear marketing content or brief talking points for subject matter experts.


  1. Social media writer

"Social Media Post Writers," says Faith Amarachi Ekekwe, Freelance SEO Content Writer, who believes, "the ability to describe ideas, inform, persuade and make someone feel diverse emotions is magic."
