You’re launching a cannabis venture, or maybe you’re already in the middle of one, and you’re looking for ways to attract new customers and keep returning ones interested. What do you do? If you’re wise about your time, money, and business plan, you’ll hire a freelance cannabis writer to take over the bulk of your writing tasks.

As someone who has worked exclusively as a freelance cannabis writer for several years, I can say with certainty that providing consistent content is the key to success for cannabusinesses. 


I have talked about why cannabis marketing should center around content in the past. Here’s the gist of it: Social media is unreliable and posts and accounts are often taken down or shadowbanned. Plus, let’s be honest, there is a ridiculous number of cannabis brands out there. They’re all fighting for the same space on social media, making for an oversaturated rat race that rarely converts. 

Why blogs for cannabis businesses are beneficial

How did you end up on this page? It’s likely that you typed in a query and something on my page answered that query. 



Now translate it to the cannabis world. What is your target audience looking for? Answer relevant questions that your target audience would ask and keep them on your page with engaging content. 


For example, if you have a dispensary in Seattle, you should be answering queries like “weed store Seattle” and “where to get weed in Seattle.” 

Hire a freelance cannabis writer to do the work

There are endless benefits to hiring a freelance cannabis writer, and the biggest is that they take the heavy lifting off your plate. When I work with cannabis companies, I take the initiative to offer a content strategy, complete with a list of topics and keywords for the months to come so everyone is on the same page about what we are targeting. Then I write the blogs. 


Notice how there is no effort on my client’s end here? It’s because cannabis business owners are business owners first. They are not meant to wear every hat the business requires. 


It’s not uncommon for business owners to take on the blogging, social media, newsletters, and other content needs on their own. And it’s not uncommon for them to burn out soon after, either. 


If you’re blogging without intent, you’re not going to see success. Don’t know how SEO works? Don’t know how to do keyword research? Forget starting a blog until you know those things. Otherwise, you’ll be posting into the void and wondering why everyone says it works when you yourself got no return. 


Let a freelance cannabis writer do all of the work so you can actually focus on your other tasks. 



Don’t believe me? Here are several reasons why:

Benefits of hiring a freelance cannabis writer

  • Writers who specialize in cannabis should fully understand compliance and the language that can and cannot be used in marketing materials. This means you don’t have to teach a random freelance writer how to write for the industry. 
  • Cannabis writers are familiar with the ins and outs of the business and can add valuable insight and information to their blogs and articles. 
  • Freelance cannabis writers understand how to target specific audiences and actually get their attention. 
  • Your freelance writer can provide weekly blogs, articles, and other materials to promote across social channels and newsletters without you having to lift a finger. 
  • The more optimized blogs you post, the better your chances of ranking for certain keywords. 
  • Cannabis content provides crucial education that many new users find benefit in which can cause users to trust your brand and view you as an authority.

Ketamine clinics are on the rise as more people become attuned to the potential benefits the medication can provide. Of course, ketamine has many uses – some legal and some not legal – that need to be clearly conveyed. In a licensed clinical setting, ketamine is a groundbreaking medication that has the potential to help people with treatment-resistant mental and physical conditions. Ketamine clinic marketing is heavily restricted because of the various factors and potential for abuse that come with the medication, though. Let’s dive into the basics of ketamine clinic marketing so you can stay compliant. A quick analogy: ketamine vs. cannabis marketing I’ve been a freelance cannabis writer for the last ~8 years. During that time, I’ve learned the ins and outs of marketing for highly regulated industries. And there’s a lot to keep track of. But if you understand a few key pillars, you can protect your business while still converting curious potential customers into loyal, returning ones. One of the biggest challenges for cannabis marketing is compliance with social media platform regulations and state advertising restrictions. The same goes for ketamine clinic marketing, too. In both industries, you have to be extremely careful about what you say and how you convey it. In cannabis marketing, you generally can’t make any medical claims or statements that could be taken as medical advice. Instead, you can highlight research and anecdotal evidence that points to a potential for certain effects. Ketamine marketing faces the off-label challenge. Even though it’s FDA approved as an anesthetic, ketamine clinics aren’t using the drug that way. They’re using it for its off-label effects: depression, PTSD, anxiety, and pain. But those uses are not approved by the FDA, and it’s crucial that ketamine clinic marketing uses careful language to not get in legal trouble. Ketamine clinic marketing FAQS: Whether you’re just launching your clinic or you’ve decided to step up your existing marketing efforts, here are some common questions you may be wondering: What’s the best way to market a ketamine clinic? Those who end up using ketamine clinics do so after heavy research and thought. It’s not a quick decision. The best way to market a ketamine clinic is with fact-based information that answers common questions and guides readers to their own informed decisions. Educational content is key. This can be in the form of blogs, articles, or 101 pages that dive into different topics. How do I pick SEO keywords for my ketamine clinic? Professional SEO tools can help you narrow your search and target your audience more effectively. But if you’re just getting started and looking for ketamine clinic SEO keywords, think like your potential clientele. What would they search for? Here are some examples to start with: “SSRIs no longer working” “Alternative depression treatment” “Depression treatments not helping” Can ketamine clinics post on social media? Yes, but with extreme caution and care. Most platforms do not allow any advertising of drugs, so you have to be cautious about the wording and imagery used. Successful social media strategies for ketamine clinics involve guiding the user off platform and back to your website where you can point them to educational content you’ve posted. Does my ketamine clinic need a blog? Posting educational content on a blog can do wonders for your ketamine clinic marketing. Because you own the website and content, you don’t have to worry about platforms like Meta taking down your content or banning your account. How do I get ketamine clinic customers? You have to find your potential customers where they’re looking. That’s often Google. Most people who end up discovering the potential therapeutic benefits of ketamine therapy find out through word of mouth or online research. By answering common questions and providing valuable information on your blog and website, you can build trust and credibility with potential customers. Should I hire a ketamine clinic writer? Even if you’re a great writer, if you don’t have deep SEO knowledge and understanding of marketing in complex, highly regulated industries, you’ll likely struggle with your ketamine marketing strategy. Your content needs to be optimized for search engines and target keywords that are relevant to your target audience but not too saturated to ever rank for. Ketamine clinic writers can take this part of the job off your plate and allow you to focus on your core business functions. Just be sure to find a health and wellness writer or ketamine writer who knows the ins and outs of compliance, state-by-state regulations, and SEO. Oh hey, that sounds like me! I’ve been writing for complex and highly regulated industries for nearly a decade now. I know how to convert casual readers into loyal customers. Let’s talk today!
