Lorna Doone Brewer and Tamara Berry earned the honor today of their blog Freelance Parent being named to a coveted list of the Top Ten Blogs for Writers by Michael Stelzner. Considering they only started this blog less than three months ago, I think they have kicked some serious a$$… but I might be a tiny bit biased.
I can’t tell you all of the things they did to get so far in such a short amount of time, but I can tell you the things I have seen them do well:
- They write a lot - more than even I ask of them.
- They are using their lives and business as topic material, which truly makes their readers connect with their posts
- They elegantly weave the personal with the professional, making for some great reads, like this little gem
- They have spent a lot of time networking, which is hard to do in a new business, but it has paid off for them already
Perhaps most of all, they have a hyper-focus on creating content that is extremely useful and valuable to their audience, such as:

It’s hard to go wrong when you focus on your audience, be transparent & genuine, and crank out quality work.
Go drop by and give them a big congratulatory hug, will ya?

So, I log in this morning, and I see that there are a bunch of links back to Freelance Parent. “Great,” I think sarcastically, “someone ran through and spammed a bunch of our posts.” Then I catch this little snippet, “They elegantly weave the personal with the professional, making for some great reads,” and I’m thinking, “Well, this is the best spam ever!”
I figured it out pretty quickly from there. How cool is it that we made that list? Seriously, we’re on a list with Copyblogger. How much does that rock?!
Thanks to those who nominated us, and to Michael for bestowing the honor.
That is so wonderful - great job, ladies! Heading to your blog now to congratulate you there, too!!
Congratulations, and may there be many more awards…in your future.
