I knew you’d noticed, Paula! That’s why I mentioned it here. And you were very kind not to bring it up.

You’re right about always marketing — I’m on Twitter a LOT more nowadays thanks to Tweetdeck being URL-based (never thought that would make any difference, but it does), and thanks to a new phone app that gives me pop-up notices when you tell me about your Wordbrain progress. 🙂

It’s about sharing, and I think a lot of freelance writers forget that part. They’re so busy banging their own drums that they miss creating a strong network from simply retweeting something interesting or talking with someone who engages with them.

It’s making my money work for me, yes. I like that. 🙂

The thing is you’ve set things up so well, Lori, that you’re always marketing – just without the added effort. Not only through your website and blog posts, but by participating on LinkedIn, Twitter, and other social platforms. It’s kind of like how investment brokers like to say “make your money work for you.”

Exactly that, Sharon. The current/former clients are a big help in that respect.

Cathy, thank you for being my truth meter. 🙂 You’re right, of course. Once you get your marketing to this point, it’s automatic, isn’t it?

And that’s the larger point here — marketing and networking becomes second nature if you practice it often. It gets to a point where you don’t even realize you’re doing it. 🙂
