That's my job! Content marketing (B2C) - As a colleague describes it, I'm essentially responsible for "all the words"...all the words that my company puts out to the public via website, email, advertising, etc. . ... however my path into it was not straight so I don't think my story will help you. I suggest building your portfolio with lots of variety and if you can convince your current company to let you craft some content, then go for it. When writing is your job, you must write (and sometimes develop) the "voice" that will resonate with the buyer as well as represent the company well - and consistently. It is not about what you want to say, but what the reader needs to hear.

Writing is tricky to get into. You have to take a lot of low paying jobs before you can command a higher salary. I would suggest transitioning into contact creation with your current company. This way you have created experience without losing anything.

Well a free way to get noticed is to build your brand by piling up your content to have ready, then focus of giving small content pieces while adding more people or more requesting people online for increasing following, and then try to form vlogs (video blogs) on YouTube as some people have gotten fame or jobs through that platform.

Perhaps consider starting a small business of your own (in anticipation of future business) and only list the company on LinkedIn separate from your profile. Then create your own website. Then you can begin advertising to various entities. You can do what you want to do!

I do technical documentation, so not sure this will help. What area on you considering? My advice to you is to make a spectacular online portfolio of your work and add the link to your LinkedIn profile and your resume heading area. Let your work speak to your experience! Good luck!
