Friday Roundup Week 2

by Marc on January 16, 2009

On with the link love. Here are some of the sites I think are worthy of your attention this week:

  • First up is Writer Dad’s first e-book: Potty Training Power. Not that I need it just yet but after following the author for quite a while now I can guarantee you that it is well written.
  • Speaking of e-books, James Chartrand of Men With Pens fame has released his new book The Unlimited Freelancer. I have my copy already and it is looking good! I will give a full review when I am done.
  • It seems James has been working hard this week as he also met up with Winnie the Pooh and got the famous bear to give his advice on blogging
  • Finally if you’re thinking of becoming a freelancer, now is the right time. Jodee Redmond explains why.

On a personal note, the design for my blog is still not done. Whilst that doesn’t bother me too much (loss of time was beyond my control) I still haven’t written the about page which really should have been done by now. I was hoping to ramp up the marketing of my site and services next week but it’s now going to be delayed while I make this thing more presentable.

In the plus column though my Twittering has been more positive. I’ve actually reached out and conversed with a few of my mentors which is great. Thanks @cravenjade for the advice!

Finally I only posted one real article this week – the Wednesday one was replaced by a new feature. Not too sure how I feel about that, in these early stages I think more articles a week would be better.

Ahhh, now, see? This is a common problem and one that I cover in Ultimate Freelancer. This situation doesn’t have to happen. Keep reading the book, you’ll find out why!

That’s good to know; the fact it’s covered in your book and that I’m not alone.
