Where do you look for work?

hen I first began freelancing, I had no clue where to look for work. There were a few job boards here and there, and when Craigslist first began it only covered San Francisco. It wasn’t easy for a new writer to find work back then, now I think it’s much easier.
I don’t really troll the [...]

What is the worst gig on your resume?

We’ve all been desperate for money, especially when just starting out. I remember writing articles about the best way to clean vomit off the carpet and how to get dog poo out of one’s automobile upholstery. I also wrote plenty of boring SEO content with silly keywords and phrases. That’s about as low as I’d [...]

What are your biggest challenges?

This is my dream job. I have great clients, I can work off my back deck and I don’t have to commute to an office any more. Like any job however, there are challenges. Time management is a big one, especially now that there’s no school. We do have camp a few mornings a [...]

Where do you work?

 
Up until a month ago, I worked from my kitchen table. I would set up my laptop on the table and work, and remove the laptop for meals. This arrangement worked fine for a couple of years, my only complaint was having to constantly dismantle the computer so my family could eat. Now I work [...]

Can you earn a good living blogging?

I’m often asked why I quit content & copy writing to become a full time blogger. The answer is twofold:
