  • Sharon On The Web – December 2009

    I last updated you on my web activities in September. Since then, in addition to the new writing gigs I’ve landed, I’ve also been featured in an interview with John Bardos of JetSetCitizen about being a location independent freelance writer. It was a real pleasure. I’ve also been getting active on Brazen Careerist, where I wrote a post called Working From Wherever – Getting Into Location Independent Living. Suz James was also kind enough to describe me as one of the best self taught SEOs she knows in a post she wrote for Get Paid To Write Online. That means a lot coming from a qualified search engine marketer. Thanks, Suz.
