He or she needs to already have a good idea of the kind of lifestyle you have, including the fact that you don’t work 9 to 5 hours, the type of industry struggles you face, and the typical financial concerns of freelancers, like the feast or famine roller coaster. You shouldn’t have to explain how freelancers work.

Frank Perdue revolutionized the chicken industry. If you are the cottage industry copywriter and you are going to create copy to market a product in Mexico, and you go to Babelfish for a translation, well, you deserve all derision you get when your marketing backfires. I love your cheat sheet and will definitely use it.

Empathy and understanding will win far more permanent followers than “I am Godlike&# …BUT in the Internet marketing industry, the “I am GODLIKE&# gets tons more temporary followers.

Melanie – Definitely agree with doing at least one marketing task a day. It also keeps me sharp and disciplined having to turn out copy, be up on the news of my industry, and providing good advice and ideas. @John – Blogging does take a lot of time. Do you know of any? They can see your most current work online.

I can definitely tell that my writing style has changed over the years (hopefully for the better). I’ve definitely learned a lot about writing and blogging since those first few posts; some posts really make me cringe as they were unformed compared with what I write now. Nathan Hangen´s last blog.

Definitely stop to remember that whole mutual respect thing. Getting a reputation as a snarky, demanding writer probably won’t boost your industry rep or your bottom line. However, having written a lot of guest posts, I can definitely agree with most everything else. Be patient, don’t be an ass, and follow up kindly.

Your post will definitely help me take action on this and I think others will agree. And James, while I definitely agree with you – it’s an ego thing, and everyone and their Grandma is doing it – it’s also two other things: 1. We definitely need some new thoughts on all sorts of things.

Why *You* Should Work for FREE Reply Gillian - Google SEO November 18, 2009 at 7:35 am I agree that fear of failure holds people back so it’s lucky then that we work in an industry (writers) where a lot of famous writers were failures before they became successful. There are different definitions of success and yours is certainly one!

I definitely think we should step away from the inbox for a couple of hours after getting what seems like a mean email. I think in general I’ve managed to keep it from going far beyond what I actually intend, but I definitely have written posts purely because I’m pissed off. That’s common in my industry.

Yes, there’s a predominantly male bias in many industries, but being a man alone doesn’t guarantee success. (I I’ve definitely been there and sometimes reaching that point of pure frustration is just what you need to spur you on and keep going. I like to think I’m a good example of that!) I liked it too.

For example: Success to me right now is definitely focused on being able to work ONE job and pay my bills comfortably. In my industry (computer science) for example, many – if not most – bloggers are not trying to make money from blogging. I also think success is extremely liquid according to what is going on in your life.

We’re talking about things like answering every email within five minutes, or doing extra work for a client for no pay, or simply checking blogs and other forums for new information on your industry. Especially when you are in the SEO industry. Being overly busy creates a false sense of energy, but it really just adds extra stress.

That being said, I think in cases such as Men With Pens, it really helps to be seen as an authority in the industry. It’s called a breach of Copyright. Best Regards John Bardos´s last blog.

Many people take advantage of that openness on another level, which is to say we’ve all had trouble with copyright law and keeping our work our own. How do you deal with copyright infringements and people stealing your work? Definitely. Kevin, This was charming, and definitely not the space-filler that some interviews can be.

Because we’re sure you’re a really awesome person with an interesting take on your industry and lots of good reasons your business is way better than the competition’s. An in-person interview doesn’t come with a copy-and-paste option, but it definitely helps get someone out of their drone-like business brain.
