2It sometimes amazes me when I tell people I work from home, and other people say they want to do it, too, but when I tell them exactly how I did it, they don't follow through. I then remember how hard it was for me to organize the data I was looking at, over ten years ago! It was hard to pick a career and figure out where to start. Now, I write huge posts for people wanting to do what I do in forums, and I refer people to those. They still struggle to start sometimes. Teaching a man to fish?

3After majoring in physics, I'm thinking of becoming a patent agent. I love the idea of helping new companies secure their ideas while learning about the latest technology and inventions.

About Me
I'm a freelance writer going to school for a physics degree. I think I'll be a patent agent after, because I'm interested in learning about new technology and being a part of many projects. I have huge interests in product development, being part of a new team to help get it off the ground.
I'd love to get in touch with some start-up companies and help break some molds and give some input about starting up, marketing, hiring home workers, and whatever insight I can give. I never mind sharing some ideas.
If you're thinking of talking with me to work for you, you should!
You should hire me for the following reasons: razor-sharp wit, massive
amounts of experience, need to 'give' more than I receive, I can spell
words correctly without looking them up 90% of the time, the other 10%
of the time I actually look them up, I'm not -psychotic- crazy, I make the best brownies ever.

Created a how-to blog post, YouTube video and article for a Sprint cell phone
The single blog post gets an average of 40 visits a day, creating 1200 views a month for the brand
The YouTube video recieved, at this time, almost 10,000 views
The article I wrote, and was posted to Suite101, is listed as #1 for it’s keyword selection, and recieves an average of 200 visitors a day
This process of the article and the video allowed for the cell phone owners to be happier with their phones, and happy customers are 3x more likely to stay with a company.
- Republic Newspaper, Life Tips, Hotels.com, Expedia.com
- Freelance Writer
I inspired surrounding business owners with profiles of successful business owners in the area, allowing for increased interest in the paper's features.
With my published interviews of historic businesses, other businesses reached out to the newspaper for similar interviews to introduce their ideas to other businesses.
My time with the newspaper allowed me to learn how to write for companies and improve their ‘face time’ with readers, figuring out what customers want to know about the companies they do business with.
My efforts allow for increased, educated visitors who are 65% more likely to return to that brand.
I focus on developing trust for the brand via content, because online readers trust content over advertising.
My simplified, content-driven marketing plans reduces traditional marketing costs by 40%, plus campaigns work for years after the project is finished.
