I recently had the chance to write about one of my favourite social media/networking sites, Twitter. It’s amazing how much information is out there. Although I’m a Twitter user, I started out not knowing as much as I could have about what makes it tick. I knew a lot about how people used it, and was able to use that information to produce a well researched report.  The client loved it. This is an area that I enjoy working in, so I’d love to do more of this kind of research.

It’s great when your freelance writing life and your personal interests coincide. That happened for me in my first major project of 2008, which I’ve already completed. It was an ebook about blogging, one of my favorite interests, so I had a lot of personal knowledge to draw on. I also knew exactly where to look to fill in the gaps. This was a project from a long standing client, who said that even a technophobic family member understood the book, so I’m sure I did the job right. I’ll be getting more work from this client within a week or so. What a great way to start the year!
