    Time for another Challenge?

    Hey everyone!

    I took a step back in March to catch my breath, but I'm ready to lead another community challenge soon!Β 

    My ask of you...
    1. Do you have any ideas to share?
    2. If not, what are you struggling with right now?

    I'll craft a challenge that can help as many of us as possible!

    Finished a book this weekend - would recommend

    Hi all. I finished Outliers this weekend by Malcolm Gladwell. It's an older book that I have heard recommended, but just got around to reading it. It was super interesting to me in many aspects. I typically read a book that will move me to take specific action steps for my business, but this one just caused me to think a whole lot! My husband is reading it next because I kept reading him excerpts throughout and now he is curious. πŸ˜‚

    Writing for the Freelancing School blog

    Hey everyone!

    It's a priority for me this year to produce more content on the Freelancing School blog. Last year, I taught myself a little bit about SEO in terms of keyword research, outlining, and writing something that ranks really well, and I'd like to pour on the gas this year...

    My plan is to hire writers who can help me with creating the first drafts of the post. I'll have keywords in mind, we will collaborate on the outline, but I'lll leave most of the draft up to you.

    Before I go to Upwork or elsewhere to find someone to help me with this writing, I wanted to start here with you all!

    If you're interested, email jay@freelancing.school with:
    1. A link(s) to previous writing you've done (specifically for SEO if possible)
    2. Your existing process for planning an article to rank for search (if you have it)
    3. Your typical freelance writing rate

    Would love to collaborate with folks here!

    Writing Music

    I love listening to music while I write! I'm old school so no lyrics to distract from my own thoughts. I like ambient music the best. Here is one I like a lot.

    I am failing HARD on the Weekly Digest!

    Guys, big apology from me – I keep forgetting to update the Weekly Digest infoΒ beforeΒ it goes out live.

    For context, that Digest is 50% automatically curated and 50% editorial control by me. BUT it goes out everything Thursday at 12pm ET, and I have no control over that other than turning itΒ off.

    Every week my aspiration is to share something worthwhile and specific.

    Two weeks in a row I've missed the deadline!

    So sorry that it has been the same copy three weeks in a row. I'm embarrassed!

    Tomorrow at 11am ET, we're hosting out About Page Community Showcase!

    If you want to join, even as a spectator, register here.

    Looking forward to seeing you all live!

    • Assist with managing attribution tracking
    • Media outlet research
    • Assist with writing press materials

    The role is on the DL, so I'm being intentionally vague...but it's a great opportunity. Shoot me a DM if you're interested in learning more and think you're a fit!
