Writing Off Social

Ditching social media sounds great…but what will I do instead?

We’re so glad you asked!
Hey there, Friend

Can you relate to this?

  • You feel helpless: You know social media is hijacking your time, yet you consider it a “necessary evil” to grow your platform and sell books.
  • You feel discouraged: You have repeatedly tried and failed to establish a platform on social media. Your mental health has suffered, and you are ready to chuck your whole writing career because of it. 
  • You feel scared: You attempted to build your platform on social media, but it just didn’t work. You’re afraid that leaving social media means you’re being irresponsible with the platform God’s given you or committing career suicide. 
  • You feel overwhelmed: You are determined to leave social media and are ready to explore and implement alternate pathways, but with the endless sea of choices, you don’t know where to start.
we’ve been there too

Hi! We are Mary K. and Sandy,

and we help female Christian writers grow and nurture their audience without social media.

What started as an experiment in 2019 (What will happen if we just…leave?!?) is now a proven path for writers.

  • We’ve consulted with industry experts on best practices
  • We’ve tested these methods with our own writing
  • We’ve coached other writers just like you

And now we are here to offer the support and training we wish we’d had.

They listen, respond, and offer excellent suggestions. They are very good at what they do, and they’ll help you to map out a way forward that feels right for you. I left The Course feeling encouraged, excited, and empowered, and I think you will, too.”

  • A nurturing environment of like-minded writing friends who will breathe fresh life into your writing so you will feel validated, encouraged, and empowered
  • Individual coaching and attention so you will gain clarity about your goals and your work
  • A personalized 90-day plan so you will leave The Course with the exact steps and timeline needed to make it happen

“I am still in awe of the individual investment Sandy and Mary K. made in each of us participants.

Their care and attention was so genuine and consistent, and their direction was given with such gentleness and wisdom. I watched as they guided my fellow cohorts to seek Christ first, and this mindset was invaluable to me.

The content was provided in a relevant, excellent manner… it was so great that even my teenage son said, ‘Mom, I can’t mock these people. These videos are great.’ This is truly high praise!.”

what”s The Process?

Step 1: Assess

We’ll begin by taking a look at what you are already doing and what you’ve tried so far: your website, your email newsletter, your social media, and any other growth and sales strategies. We’ll help you assess what’s working, what’s not (and why!), what to keep, and what to leave behind. This process liberates and empowers you to make room for new pathways outside of social media. (YAY, FREEDOM!)

Step 2: Clarify

Before you decide which alternatives to social media will work for you, we’ll help you clarify your ideal reader and identify what you want to say to her. Then, we’ll help you determine your writing goals for the next year so that you can choose alternative pathways to reach your reader and support those goals. (This is where it gets exciting.)

Step 3: Create

Next, we will help you brainstorm the best ways to reach your reader and help you create an enticing free resource (your lead magnet) and a flagship product or service (your core offering), so that you can grow your email list and generate income. (Yes, it’s possible!)

Step 4: Explore

Now you’re ready to explore the ten alternative pathways to social media! You’ll spend three weeks learning what they are, how they work, who they work best for, and who should avoid them. You will see how they fit together and support your writing goals through The Growth Matrix (sounds very Sci-Fi, no?) and you’ll assess if these pathways will work for you, your goals, and your reader. Best of all, we will guide you through the first steps to pursue your desired pathways. (No more piecing together tutorials.)

Step 5: Implement

Finally, it all comes together when you review and summarize what you learned throughout The Course so that we can send you off with a personalized, 90-day plan. We’ll strive to incorporate all of your goals, passions, and alternate pathways into actionable steps with realistic deadlines, so you’ll have a clear plan for Writing Off Social for good! (Not to brag, but creating these plans is our super power and one of our favorite features of The Course!)

Unfortunately, no.

While some of the material is suitable for any writer, this course and our experience are best suited for female non-fiction writers. (But I mean, we won’t kick you out…)
