Jennifer Escalona tells it like it is
I realized that I have been keeping a secret from all of you. Or maybe you all knew about my favorite note taking program before I did and were keeping it a secret from me. Nonetheless, today I want to make sure that the whole world knows about Microsoft OneNote.
Microsoft OneNote came into my life [...]
As I said before, I write for Examiner.com (though lately, watching the bottom line flatten, I haven’t been such a good examiner.) This week, I happened to notice that one of the writing newsletters I receive, Angela Hoy’s Writer’s Weekly, decided to conduct a thorough examination of Examiner.
They did not like what they found.
For anybody [...]
I read a ton of freelance writing blogs, business blogs, money saving blogs, time saving blogs, and even funny blogs. I’m just a blog reader. And I can honestly say that Freelance Switch has been one of the most entertaining and informative blogs I have ever come across. First, it deals with my livelihood, freelancing [...]
I don’t know about you, but most of the time I get paid for my freelance writing work through Paypal. There are pros and cons to this. If I’m busy, I don’t have to leave the house to cash a check, but on the other hand, if I get a big paycheck, that little 1.9% [...]
Last Saturday night I came down with something that can only be described as an unholy cross between a Biblical plague and H1N1. Try as I might, I simply did not have the strength to get out of bed that Sunday, and by Monday I knew something was seriously wrong. If I were an employee, [...]
Right after I wrote my two part post on why all good freelance writers need to ask for testimonials, I came across a post on WebWorkerDaily about constructing a client feedback form. This is another route to take in asking for feedback, especially if you are technical or do not want to ask the client [...]
I’ve noticed that many people are finding my blog through searches about Examiner.com, so I thought I would update about my experience with the site. After two weeks, I’m not quite a seasoned veteran yet, but I’m still plugging away as Atlanta’s green business Examiner.
I know what you all want. You want to know how [...]
Yesterday’s post talked about what to do if you don’t have anyone to give you a testimonial. Part two will talk about what to do if you do.
For a freelancer, the process of asking for a testimonial (or at least, feedback) should be as ubiquitous as sending the invoice. You may be surprised what the [...]
Anybody can slap up a website and claim to be a freelance writer, but clients want proof that you can do what you say you can do. Samples go a long way toward that, but for all a suspicious client knows, they could be plagiarized. Yes, it seems silly that a writer would go to [...]
In: Worthy Wednesday
22 Apr 2009My apologies for the lack of a post yesterday. I was out of town for two days and thought that it would be a breeze to hook up to some wireless internet and post. Little did I know that the F in Florida does not stand for “free,” “flexible” or “fortuitous.”
That said, let’s leave that [...]
