And how to hire a wellness writer that knows what they're doing

If you’ve been following my work for any given time, you’ll know that I’ve mostly been a freelance cannabis writer for the last eight years or so. I write converting SEO content for cannabis brands and also operate on the journalism side, mostly writing business profiles and features and industry updates. That’s not going away. But I am shifting into the wellness space because I’ve realized there is space for me to offer my content marketing strategies and skills to more brands that I believe in. With that said, I’m going to walk you through what a freelance wellness writer can do for your brand. 


Freelance wellness writers tackle common questions for your blog

One of the greatest ways to utilize a freelance wellness writer is to boost your blog strategy. Take a look at some of the biggest competitors in your space and see how many of them are actively posting on blogs. (Hint: some of the best wellness brands are using blogs to connect with their target audience with great success.)


Although SEO best practices have changed over the years and the algorithm continues to evolve, wellness brands can use their blogs to reach a much larger audience than other marketing methods. That’s because well-written, strategic SEO blogs are meant to answer common questions your target audience searches for.


When your blog comes up as a top result for a user’s question, they’re likely to
automatically associate your brand with credibility, authority, and trustworthiness. That means they’re more likely to purchase from you. 


Freelance wellness writers can bring real traffic and conversions

Here’s a quick example of a successful blog-to-purchase pipeline based on the information outlined above:


A middle-aged woman is dealing with hormonal changes and looking for real advice and answers online. She searches “how to manage perimenopause symptoms” and finds your blog on the exact topic. After reading your blog, which contains research-backed information and resources, she sees the call to action at the bottom recommending that she try your supplements for her exact condition. 


Then she sees a list of recommended reading that points to other blog posts. “Can perimenopause cause skin dryness?” reads one headline. She already knows her skin has been getting dry lately, but never made the exact connection. So she reads through that blog and sees another call-to-action at the bottom of the post. 


By now, she’s read through two blogs and learned valuable information to better manage her symptoms. Because your site isn’t just selling supplements and actually provides meaningful insight into their uses, she feels confident making a purchase. 


And
all of that began with a simple Google search. 


Freelance wellness writers can create a content ecosystem for better marketing 

I’ve talked about content ecosystems in the past and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon. They are a crucial and often overlooked part of SEO blog content strategies. 


When a freelance wellness writer crafts a well-written, valuable blog, your brand is faced with a golden opportunity. Sure, you can (and should) post it online and wait for the traffic to roll in as outlined above (and trust me, with a well-optimized blog, the traffic
will roll in.)


But your strategy shouldn’t stop there. Wellness blogs are great tools to include in other marketing materials. For example, you can convert key points from a blog written by a freelance SEO wellness writer into a beautiful infographic for Instagram. This will add another layer of credibility to your brand and encourage social media users to check out your website. 


You can also include the blog in your next newsletter to provide another layer of value to your readers. Rather than just trying to push your supplements and other products in a newsletter, you can include a link to your wellness blog that provides wisdom, insights, and actionable advice for your readers without making them feel like they’re being explicitly sold to.

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!
