Instagram post 2187296012161533370_6210041658 Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and of course, super delicious food! 🥧
Instagram post 2184606915622301256_6210041658 I couldn't hold out any longer; I just HAD to decorate for Christmas! In my defense though, Thanksgiving was late this year!  This is our first year with an actual Christmas tree, so it made me that much more excited to decorate. 🎄  I was a little nervous about how the cats would react but judging by Boomers nonchalant attitude we might be okay. 🤞🏻 Got any tips for dealing with cats and Christmas trees, just in case? Let me know!
Instagram post 2181474477584912825_6210041658 Did you know I've been freelance writing for two years, and a full-time freelance writer for an entire year? Time sure does fly! 🎉  Like most freelancers just starting out, I struggled to find good, long-term clients. My workload (and income!) were always fluctuating and I found myself stressed AF. I knew something had to change.  I reevaluated what I was doing - where I was looking for clients, what I was charging, what kind of projects I agreed to...you name it.  I realized I needed to not only find BETTER clients but to try to convert them from a short-term project to a long-term client.  So how did I do that? 🤔  It's all about the client experience, my friends!  Providing a positive client experience from start to finish not only makes you look professional but increases the chance the client will hire you again—or better yet, purchase a monthly service package.  With that in mind, today's blog post is all about how to impress a freelance client and keep them coming back for more.  Get the scoop using the link in my bio! 🔗

Instagram post 2176399357195436013_6210041658 Starting and growing a successful blog is easier said than done. One of the most essential elements is growing a following of loyal readers, aka subscribers.  But, why is it so important to get people to subscribe to your blog?  I’m glad you asked!  1️⃣ Subscribers are more likely to share your content  2️⃣ Subscribers are vital if you ever want to monetize your blog or sell a digital product/course  3️⃣ Adding readers to your email list ensures you always have a way to get in touch with your audience.  If you want to reap the rewards of building a loyal audience, you have to give them a reason to subscribe.  Use the link in bio to learn 7 easy ways to get more people to subscribe to your blog!
