One was a conversation with James, who commented on one of my blogs that many copywriters aren’t good with numbers. Another discussion was with an associate who said he saw freelance projects on Elance with bids of $50 for sales letters and $5 for blog posts. Walk new clients through your payment policy. Working for $5?

And I also know that he was fast on the replies, quick with the wit, and he had a nice-looking blog. As I began writing books and blogging myself, I developed an entirely new appreciation for Peart’s genius that affects my writing to this very day. Oh, and he’s written a book. Two books, in fact. I know something else.

People – quite a lot of them – had begun to read my blog and decided that I could help them build their blogs in the same way. I was having a hard time explaining that my blog lives or dies based on who I am, not on the information I provide. Most blogs find a niche and zero in on their audience. Let’s talk.

So my name is Taylor, and if I had chosen to pursue a salaried job instead of a freelance career, I could have avoided the embarrassing situation many women find themselves in today – discounted because of their name, before their education and skills are even checked. We’ve passed the “resume” stage, and entered the “interview” stage.

You may not think that your website, your blog, your freelance business, is something you need to think about in your last will and testament, but it is. Consider what you’d like for your website, your blog or your online business if you were to pass on. A lot of irritation. Who Wants My Business? So go ahead.

This is what a lot of blogs out there sound like. If you’ve been thinking about starting a blog but you’re afraid it won’t succeed because you’re not smart or funny or interesting enough, then repeat after me: “I do not have to be perfect. My favorite blogs are the ones that can laugh at themselves. It is totally useless.

I even heard from a blogger the other day that he would never guest post on a blog unrelated to his own because it wouldn’t get him any traffic and that it was a waste of effort. Then find 3 or 4 blogs for each of those niches. Connect with the blog owners and other readers. Melinda | WAHM Biz Builder´s last blog.
