When it comes to freelance work, it’s first come, first serve. The only way to get work is to go out and find it. Send letters, reach out to people, using connections is what it’s all about. It’s always funny to hear people at conferences say, “we’re marketers, we market. But the worst part of what we do is marketing ourselves.” It’s true, we know how to write, to speak clearly, we know how to articulate our thoughts and make something of them, but it’s always hard to self-promote.
I recently was awarded a gig to write a few articles and I’ve included links to them below. Please feel free to share out and read as many times as possible. You may even find that I missed something in one of them!

It’s great to see America in the ’80s and to see what people used to wear, but also how people acted in such a strenuous time. There’s a time period in America known as the Cold War Period for cripes sake!
