Web Content Writing

Last year I took Jeff Brown’s ‘Writing your Way Home’ course.  It was an online course over 6 weeks. Due to other commitments at the time I just about managed to cover the one hour long audio session each week.  And I wrote one or two pieces  a week that I submitted to our online […]

Writing – Write!  Write!  Write! This writing advice given to me in the autumn by a super lady, Catrin George who I met in Portugal.  Catrin is a tour guide and author. For a while now I’ve been thinking about taking a sabbatical from my web content writing and taking a different turn. Well, how […]

Search engine optimisation Let’s face it.  All websites need SEO.  If a website isn’t optimised then new customers can’t ‘see’ it.  And if your prospective customers can’t ‘see’ your site in their Google searches, then what’s the point of investing in a website?

My dream web content writing job My dream writing job popped up late last year.  I’m now in my 10th year of working freelance as a web content writer and all I can say is that it’s certainly been worth the wait.

Ok, it’s finally here, my newlook website!  Even better, it’s part and parcel of this Blog, All Things Creative. What a journey it’s been since taking the plunge to go freelance way back in 2006. Was it a good decision to leave my rewarding and reasonably ‘safe’ job in the tourism division of Brighton & Hove […]

I often ask myself this question.  I’ve been writing web content  for over four years and have indeed been very versatile with subject matters, i.e.  x-ray inspection systems, data centre design & build, skip hire, memory foam mattresses, shutters & blinds….. to name a few. I thought about it again yesterday whilst chatting to a […]

I was given a box of Black Magic chocolates today.  On the back of the chocolate descriptions is a bit of blurb about the first boxes of Black Magic that were unwrapped in 1933 after an extensive consumer survey. Apparently, this survey was ‘one of the very first examples of mass market research that asked […]

An interesting article in The Times this week by Libby Purves.
