 Carol:                                 00:00              Hi everyone. Carol here, co-host of The Savvy Scribe podcast. I am so excited you all are making the time to join this episode today because there's some great information that Janet Kennedy, the host of the Get Social Health podcast and also co-founder at the Healthcare Marketing Network is going to drop some really important information you won't want to miss. We all know that the key to building a successful business is developing relationships, growing your business takes customers, mentors, peers, and LinkedIn is here to help too. Janet is going to share with you how to make your LinkedIn profile really work for you. Yes, she shares that most of us are really dropping the ball by not taking full advantage of our silent salesperson LinkedIn. It's available 24-7 for lead generation. Janet, I'm excited to hear everything you have to say. So take it away.

 Janet:                                 01:14                   Welcome to The Savvy Scribe, a podcast for freelance healthcare and medical writers and creatives who want to grow their businesses, your host, Carol Bush and Janine Kelbach. We'll cover a wide range of topics on writing, sales and managing freelance practice podcast episodes.

Now let's join the conversation

 Janet:                                 01:45                   Hi everybody. This is Janet Kennedy of the Get Social Health podcast just stepping into The Savvy Scribe to give you some savvy ideas about how you can make your LinkedIn profile really work for you. Now, be honest. When was the last time that you logged into LinkedIn and change anything on your profile? And I don't mean just liking commenting and sharing content. I mean actually physically change something. Now, I will say that I teach that LinkedIn can be a set it and forget it, but to be honest, I'm only saying that to people who I know will never ever go back to LinkedIn until they have a major life change. Predominantly physicians or nurses, professionals for whom LinkedIn is not a daily part of their life. As many members of the Healthcare Marketing Network will tell you, they started their career as clinicians. So LinkedIn really wasn't very important to them.

 Janet:                                 02:48                   But guess what? Now that they're focusing on building a freelance career, this platform that they've&

Meet the Nurse Writer who keeps the Healthcare Marketing Network on Track!

Today on The Savvy Scribe Carol Bush interviews an author, freelance writer, researcher, and OB/GYN Nurse, and the Operations Manager for the Healthcare Marketing Network, Janine Kelbach. Did we mention that Janine is also married, a mom and has two Great Danes? There must be eating and sleeping in her life but we sure can't figure out when! Get to know Janine Kelbach on this episode of The Savvy Scribe.

 Janet:                                 00:00                   Welcome to The Savvy Scribe, a podcast for freelance healthcare and medical writers and creatives who want to grow their businesses. Your hosts, Carol Bush and Janine Kelbach will cover a wide range of topics on writing, sales and managing your freelance practice podcast episodes. We'll feature interviews, inspiration, laughter, and important information to help healthcare freelance writers. The Savvy Scribe is a production of the Healthcare Marketing Network. Now let's join the conversation.

 Carol:                         00:34                   I'm so excited today. Savvy scribes I have a very special guest. In fact, I've been so psyched for this. I could hardly sleep last night because in our community, so many of you have given us feedback about our episodes and one of the many questions I'm getting is, well, we want to hear your story. How did you connect with Janine and Janet? And we want to hear everyone's writer's story or entrepreneur's stories. So today I am excited to be able to interview my pal, my buddy, my work BFF, Janine Kelbach.

 Janine:                         01:11                   Hello. It's just a normal day on Zoom for us.

 Carol:                         01:16                   It is, because I don't know that people know this, but and this is something to learn that zoom is actually a great tool that we use not only for collaboration and virtual meetings to hold one another accountable in our coworking sessions, but also we use it to record our podcast episodes and we get to see each other. I know in and I think that's the biggest part about being work BFFs and accountability partners. We definitely do have that connection. Before we dive into the whole power of accountability and your own specific hour of power, which you're known for in our savvy scribe community. Janine, I'd love for you just to tell us a little bit about your story. What led you to launch your business as a freelance writer?

 Janine:
