Discussion on Freelance Writing – LinkedIn – Freelance Writers Connection
Help! I need somebody, not just anybody…OMG would you believe I’m starting an SEO job–product descriptions for 50 cents a pop. Do U realize how many I have to do to pay the rent? It’s a desperate act, no question about it. I’m broke. In fact, it was my landlord who turned me on to [...]
Thumbtack Profile Updated – 7.4.11
Thumbtack.com, since July 2011, has failed to provide a single job. I was approached by 2 potential clients. The first was a photographer, who got quite a bit of insight out of me on how to redesign his site before he sent me a note telling me he decided to go with his brother in [...]
Writing for Technorati – 7.3.11
Thanx to Publisher Jill Asher, I re-submitted my application a 2nd time and, as of July 2011, got accepted as a writer for Technorati. Technorati will give me the opportunity to reach a different audience across a Global Network. Writing for a new venue always develops new skills, provides a broadened scope of expression, and [...]
Technorati – Now registered – 7.1.11
B9MKUGSV5TKR Finally registered Entertainment Cyberscope with Technorati. I was a bit torn on what to enter for the title since once again I face the identity crisis of Jerry Flattum – Songster vs. Entertainment Cyberscope, Inc. I held off because of the plans to splinter the current site–JerryFlattum.com–into multiple sites. But it’s going to take [...]
MindTools.com – A Tool for Negotiating the Future
One of the most incredible websites I have found on the Internet is MindTools.com. I’m going to risk possible accusations of narcissism when I make the claim that there is not a single person high or low who could not benefit from MindTools.com. The learning is equivalent to an MBA from the finest business schools. [...]
Apps – 2.9.11
I’m continuously exploring dozens of applications, plugins and widgets for every conceivable kind of task. Most of the applications are free, or, at least, that’s what I’m working with for now. When I can afford to buy applications, my productivity will increase exponentially. Most apps are downloaded from ZDNet, CNet, Tucows, Adobe and just a [...]
MindTools – 1.23.11
I have a lot of ideas but I’m a wild horse. I don’t necessarily want to tame the wild horse, but if I’m going to do this right, that is, launch an entertainment company that launches my career simultaneously in a “new economy” full of other wild horses, well… I just joined MindTools.com Here’s a [...]
Briefing Digest – GPS for Content – 6.14.11
Briefing Digest.com – A “GPS for Content” Briefing Digest is slated for release in 2011. A dedicated site, briefingdigest.com, is under construction. Briefing Digest is a unique “tumblog” exploring short form narrative journalism, creative writing and the presentation of encyclopedic information. The original conception was an almanac of facts, figures and dates for people on [...]
Task List – Adding time values to each task
I don’t imagine my task list is necessarily any longer or more complicated than any other normally busy person in search of fame and fortune. The danger in a task list where it’s just a list of dozens of tasks, the mere sight of it is overwhelming. How we manage our task lists very much [...]
Attention-Span: Stop treating people like ferrets
I was asked to write a guest post for Thumbtack.com, a posting service I use to promote myself as a freelance writer. Below is a copy of the post: One of the most frequent topics I here about when it comes to web design, the Internet and marketing strategies is “Attention-span.” Web designers are convinced [...]
