Hire the Best Consultation Freelancers in Chicago, IL

I help specialty healthcare practices turn complex information into clear, patient-centered content that educates patients, builds trust, and supports practice growth. I bring nine years of healthcare experience, a B.S. in Health Communication, and more than three years of hands-on healthcare marketing experience. Before expanding into marketing, I worked in private podiatry practice, where I gained a firsthand understanding of the questions patients ask, the information providers need communicated clearly, and the role trust plays in someone’s decision to schedule an appointment. Today, I create healthcare marketing that is clear, approachable, and aligned with the patient experience. My work combines healthcare knowledge, communication strategy, and practical content execution, so clients do not have to spend hours explaining basic medical terminology or how a practice operates. I can support your practice with: • Healthcare content strategy and monthly campaign planning • Social media content for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Business Profile • Patient education captions, carousels, and branded graphics • Email newsletters and patient communication campaigns • SEO-friendly healthcare blogs and website copy • Website, social media, messaging, and patient-journey audits My experience includes creating content for podiatry, urology, sexual health, women’s health, aesthetics, specialty medical practices, and health-focused nonprofit organizations. One of my strongest skills is translating medical or technical information into content that patients can understand and act on, without making it feel overly clinical, generic, or disconnected from their real concerns. Whether you need ongoing content support, a focused patient education campaign, healthcare copywriting, or an audit of your current marketing, I can help you create communication that supports both patient trust and business growth. If you’re looking for an independent healthcare marketing freelancer who understands both the clinical environment and the patient experience, send me a message to discuss your project.

🏆 Top 1% of talent on Upwork ✉️ 1M+ qualified leads delivered 📈 2M+ transactions influenced 🧠 $500K+ in ad spend managed globally 💰 $10M+ in customer revenue generated 💎 Worked with 50+ companies worldwide What if every $1 you put into ads came back as $3... $5... even $10? That's not hype. That's what happens when your ads, funnel, and follow-up system are all working together. But for most businesses? That's not their reality. They're bleeding money on broken funnels. High cost-per-lead that go nowhere. Campaigns that "sort of work" but never scale. They've tried agencies that overpromise and disappear. They've hired freelancers who ghost after onboarding. And despite spending real money, the pipeline stays empty. That's the problem I solve. Hi, I'm Faraz — a performance marketer, funnel builder, and paid media specialist based in Chicago, Illinois. I didn't start as an expert. In 2019, I took a gap year and launched my first blog. It flopped. Then I built a perfume brand from scratch and spent $6,000 on Facebook ads. Zero sales. Pure failure. But those failures taught me what no course ever could: the difference between running ads and building a system. In 2022, I went all in. Started working with real clients. Real budgets. Real campaigns. And real results followed. Since then, I've helped 50+ brands across eCommerce, SaaS, and local services generate consistent leads, booked appointments, and scalable revenue using paid media across Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn, and more. --- 🎯 WHO I WORK WITH: ◼ LOCAL SERVICE BUSINESSES: Chiropractors, dentists, med spas, dermatology clinics, plastic surgeons, gyms, and home service providers.

From 2007 to 2017 I was the owner of the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography, which published 40 books for total distribution of over 20,000 copies. Along the way, CCLaP's books won or were finalists for a half-dozen awards, including the Pushcart Prize, the Lambda Award for LGBTQ literature, and the Independent Publisher Book Award; and the center itself was named one of the 10 best indie presses in the United States by both BookRiot and Poets & Writers magazine. Now I bring that same award-winning deep experience to your own self-published or small-press manuscript, helping you hone it with a fine knife into the best book it can possibly be. I currently offer three services as a freelancer, the first and main one being editing. I provide not only developmental editing (helping you identify “big picture” problems regarding the story, characters, dialogue, information logic, and more) but also copy editing (including a close-in technical pass for grammar, punctuation, spelling, and usage, also sometimes known as “line editing” or “content editing”) and post-production proofreading (where I review not only the text but also all the book parts, such as headers and footers, the title page and synopsis, etc.). I charge half a cent per word for proofreading, 1 cent per word for either developmental or copy editing, or a bundled discount of 1.5 cents per word for all three. Secondly, I offer graphic design of your book’s interior pages. If you have specific ideas beforehand of what you’d like included, I’m happy to incorporate those wishes; or otherwise we work in an iterative process, where I present you multiple options as far as layout style and typeface choices, and over several back-and-forth discussions we whittle things down to a design you love. For books of less than 500 pages/100,000 words with no tables, I charge a flat $300 for the entire process, plus provide EPUB and Kindle ebook versions for free; please drop me a line if you have a bigger or more complicated book. (My apologies, but I do not offer cover design as a freelance service.) And thirdly, I offer help as a story coach, which you can think of as a creative writing college course but with only one student, you. I meet up with you at whatever frequency works best, review the latest work, give you pointers on where to go next, help you brainstorm ideas, and serve as an accountability partner during mental blocks. You determine exactly what kind of help would work best for you, and the maximum amount of hours I should work per week, at a rate of $30 per hour.
