Sorry I missed this before Sharon.

It sounds like you’ll have a great mix of posts coming up. 🙂 I’ve been doing this so long for clients that I have no excuse, but I still frequently forget about CTAs on my own client blog. Fortunately there’s not much there. Due for some copy updates this week, then I’ll spruce up old posts before resuming with the new planned schedule there. I took my first real hit in Google in years with their last algorithm update. They seem to be prioritizing those stupid race-to-the-bottom bidding sites and such over actual individuals now (noticed that in the general freelance writing niche too). It’s a shame. But blogging always helps with that one, so back to it soon!

In reply to Nikki. LOL -- great comment, Nikki! It is an info bomb, isn't it?

Holy info bomb batman! This is a great post. I’ve let my freelance writer blog just tank in the last two years. I do believe there’s hope for me to resurrect it with Jenn’s advice.

Killer post as always.

Great info as always, Jenn. On my client-facing blog, I’ve been moving from simply publishing lists of portfolio items (necessary, but boring) to including articles clients can use. Good reminder about CTAs. I need to go back and add them to most of the posts (though I almost always remember to put them on external content).

As usual, top-shelf info from Jenn. No surprise there. 😉

Absolutely. That post I’m slowly working on to feature the best examples — Cathy’s is always the first that comes to mind. She really gets her target market. 🙂

Good luck with the explainer videos. Seems to be quite the growing market!
