This week I have some links to share that have been exceedingly valuable and inspiring to me recently.
Freelance Writing
- Rachel Phipps’ blog features an excellent article; “How to Set Your Freelance Writing Career in Motion: 11 Tips to Get You Started“. If you’re interested in freelance writing this is a must-read, and be sure to check out all the links too, there’s some really valuable resources there.
- Yes and Yes’ “How to Rock Freelance Writing” is also a wonderful resource, interview-style with some great insider tips.
Blogging
- “Clever Blogging Tools of the Trade” is yet another brilliant post from one of my favourite blogs, Frock and Roll. Corrine has also started a new series of posts; “The Blogger’s Guide To Search Engine Optimisation: The Non-Confusing Way!” which is a really great guide, very useful if, like me, you want to try “proper” SEO on your blog but don’t have the time to study all the ins and outs of it. Part 2 is here.
- Kikolani also has a guide to help you “Increase Traffic and Authority by Listing Your Blog“, which is an excellent starting point for blog promotion.
As you might have guessed, I’ve been thinking about blogging and writing a lot this week, and I’m working on quite a few things “behind the scenes” at the moment, including those design tweaks I’ve been talking about for months – they will appear at some point!
What’s inspiring you this week?
I’m also inspired to blog this week. My site is not yet up and running (it’s still in the design phase, although I have written a few posts), but I’m keen on getting there.
Love your blog, btw. I don’t ever comment, but I like reading what you get up to.
Excellent links!
Sparkle & Glitter is one of my favourite blogs too, Vixel! Thank-you so much for the kind words!
