I’m a young professional who is looking to transition from being a technical writer to a marketer. Does anyone have any advice or a coaching service that they recommend for the transition?

I’d recommend finding an individual coach that you gel with rather than going with a service. It might be a little more expensive, but you’ll feel like more of a priority and get better results. Find a few and ask for an initial consult. It should be free.

Im curious as to what kind of marketing you are interested in particular. If you are looking to break in with whatever then I suggest considering exploring something that you have “transferable skills” for. For instance, what are the parallels and gaps between technical writing and copy writing for blogs, IG posts etc? Then closing that gap with technical courses through Udemy or another affordable platform, and offer your services for a low fee to entrepreneurs you already know for a few hours to get experience (and results!) in your resume and also to see if it’s what you like. Of you dont like the experience then try another marketing role, perhaps managing a social media account vs just copy writing and apply the same process. This “testing” can take just a few weeks but you’ll know for sure whether it’s for you and you’ll have work that speaks for itself.
