In today’s episode, we delve into the world of paid LinkedIn accounts and explore whether upgrading to a premium plan is truly worth it.

We’re answering this question from one of our Savvy Nurse Writer members: “Has anyone upgraded to a paid LinkedIn account? If so, which plan? Is it worth it?”

Key points in this episode:

• Using LinkedIn as a valuable platform for professional networking and business growth.
• The value of low expenses: As a small business owner, I talk about the importance of maximizing the utility of every dollar spent. Low expenses are crucial for profitability, especially when trying to grow a business.
• Free tools and trials: LinkedIn does offer free trials for premium accounts, allowing users to explore the benefits before making a decision.
• Individual needs: Every business and individual may have unique needs and experiences. It’s encouraged to explore the paid plans if they align with your goals.

In today’s episode of The Savvy Scribe Podcast, we have an inspiring success story to share with you. Tune in as we delve into the journey of April Rowe, one of our brilliant nurse writers. From the moment she first contemplated writing content, to overcoming imposter syndrome which led her to achieve her current status as a thriving nurse writer and proud owner of a flourishing writing business, April’s story is sure to captivate and motivate. Don’t miss out on this empowering episode!

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Doing It Anyway

About the Guest:

April Rowe, RN, is a freelance health writer and owner of RNtoPen. She has been a registered nurse since 2007, specializing in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Pediatrics, Home Health, Hospice & Palliative Care. She combines her passion for nursing with her love of writing to create a wide range of content. Originally from Reno, Nevada, April recently relocated to South Carolina with her husband, children, and three dogs. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, cooking, walking, crocheting, and practicing Spanish and Italian.

Key points in this episode:

• April’s journey — how she started and why she thought of becoming a nurse writer
• Her pieces of advice to nurses who are struggling with imposter syndrome that holds them back from reaching their goals
• The current status of her writing career
• How she started her membership in Plan, Produce, Profit
• Things she has learned in the course

We all feel like imposters unless you are a narcissistic megalomaniac! Haha. Every nurse writer has been at that point of needing their first sample, reaching out to their first potential client, writing their first paid article, and getting it back with a bunch of edits. Just do your best and learn as you go. I learned too not to lowball myself. Pricing is very hard in the beginning, but we definitely shouldn't be spending our precious time writing for 1 cent a word for someone on Upwork. Once you have a few articles in your portfolio, know your worth as a nurse writer. That RN, LPN, or NP behind our name increases the clients' Google authority and automatically makes us more valuable as writers. Never forget that! ~ April Rowe
