New Gig At Suite101

Sharon Hurley Hall — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 20:34:18 +0000

I’ve started writing for Suite101. It’s great because I can write about a wide range of topics. Here are the articles I’ve written so far:

Common Freelance Writing Scams

Resources for Setting Freelance Writing Rates

How to Create A Great Online Writing Portfolio

Brizzly, a Twitter Web Application

Book Review – Dreaming in Hindi

Book Review – The Snail and the Whale

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.

Guest Post On Location Independent

Sharon Hurley Hall — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:52:34 +0000

Simple Social Media Strategies For Location Independent Professionals is my first guest post on the Location Independent blog. A few weeks ago, Cath Duncan suggested that writing about how location independent professionals can manage social media without getting overwhelmed might be a good idea. This guest post is the result. (Thanks, Cath.) Here’s an excerpt:

I belong to dozens of networks but of late my interaction has been limited to just three. Here’s what I’ve chosen, why I’ve chosen them and what I get out of each

Hope you enjoy it.

Writing About Books

Sharon Hurley Hall — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 12:07:31 +0000

Or should that be: writing for a books site? One of my latest gigs is writing for Webooks. It’s an ebook publishing site that is expanding to include articles related to the books’ content. I’ve written four articles for them so far, and two have been published. They are Moving Your Article From Mag To Web and Proofreading Tips For Writers. Hope you enjoy them. Bookmark my profile page so you’ll know when the next ones appear.

Sharing Knowledge

Well, I couldn’t resist adding my name to another site, especially when it comes from Google. I’ve just published my first Knol using a sample article on off plan property that I had lying around. It was very easy to publish and I think I’ll put more of my work there in the future. To go along with it, I’ve also published Written A Knol Yet? – my review of the process on TechGerm.
