I’ll admit, this post may seem a little pretentious coming from a pair of writers who have officially been in business for four and a half months. We’re hardly in a position to discuss how our vast experience in the freelancing field has led to success and monster profits. In reality, we’re just starting to [...]

Hello, all.  I’m just checking in.  I hope you’ve been enjoying the holidays as much as I have.  Actually, that’s not true.  I hope you’ve been enjoying them just a tad bit less than I have.
Remember a few weeks ago when everyone was writing posts about how to gear up for the holidays so we [...]

I was rear-ended in the parking lot of a restaurant yesterday. I was meeting some friends for lunch in our city’s South Hill, a place known for its nice houses and multitude of the elderly. A woman, looking long past the age of when one should drive oneself, was turning around in the parking lot. [...]

This week, Freelance Parent has been talking about how and why you should use a blog to grow your freelance business.  To top that all off, here’s what other folks had to say about that topic this week: 

Melissa at (the newly redesigned) Writing Forward shares “11 Hot Tips for Writers with Blogs.”  Don’t let the [...]

The majority of our posts this week focus on how to use blogging as a part of your freelance business.  First of all, we talked about how a blog can be useful for marketing, networking, earning, and even evaluating your own business practices with “Does Your Freelance Business Need a Blog.”  After that, we looked [...]

One of the things that Tamara and I originally planned to do with this blog was to offer reviews of books related to freelancing and writing. Somehow, that brilliant idea slipped into the background.

Yesterday we took a look at how this particular blog has benefited our freelance business. Today we want to focus on how it’s not helping our business and what we plan to do about that.
When I say “how it’s not helping our business,” I’m not implying that it is hurting us. While it’s true that [...]

Aside from the fact that we rely heavily on our partnership, Tamara and I believe that this blog is the biggest factor in our current success as freelance writers.  There are the obvious benefits of using it to market our business, of course, but there’s so much more to it. 
I know you may find [...]

Holy moly.  (Does anyone know how to spell “moly?”)  It must be December, because everyone is talking about goals!  I have to admit, I’ll probably sit down and write a goal post (ha, ha – “goal post”) here in the near future.  In the meantime, check out what these freelancers have to say about setting [...]

Our company has a pretty set list of the kinds of assignments we absolutely refuse to take. I won’t go into exhaustive detail here; however, for the most part, these are assignments that we feel fall into a morally black area (for example, writing research papers for college students or some of the issues Lorna [...]
