Are you a full-time freelancer considering going in-house? Are you wondering when you’ll feel “ready” to get to the manager level? 

You’ll love this interview with Aleksandra Michniewicz, Content Marketing Manager at Cryptio. 

Aleks graduated from college with a business studies and marketing degree, and like many of us, had no clue content marketing existed. 

Thanks to a helpful tip from a friend, she realized she could get paid for her writing – and stumbled onto content marketing. 

After a few years of freelancing full-time, she transitioned to an in-house content writer role, and has worked her way to content marketing manager. 

In this episode, you’ll learn how Aleks built up her confidence, the soft (and hard) skills you need to be successful in content marketing, how she optimizes her LinkedIn, and how she keeps feedback (and work) in perspective.
