When you are a freelance writer working mostly for online content, you have to learn all that you can about search engine optimization or simply SEO. That is because what good is your written content if people cannot easily find it through the search engines?
The following are the top 3 SEO blogs that I recommend to every fellow freelance copywriter:
1. Matt Cutts
He is the head of Google’s web spam team and the unofficial spokesperson when it comes to anything Google and search-related topics. He is always a fun to read, even with his non-SEO blog posts. [click to continue…]

Just like with any other profession, I also rely on the tools of my trade. In my case, it’s the word processors. It surely beats having to write everything on paper, which I used to do when I was still in school.
There are many free word processors, but these top three are what I am currently using. You might ask, why do I need three programs when one would suffice? Well, not in my case. It depends on a lot of things on whether which one I would use, and I have stated my reasons below.
And by the way, although AbiWord and OpenOffice.org Writer each has its own file format, all three word processors are capable of saving in and opening MS Word document files.
1. Jarte
This is what I use when I have a lot of programs opened simultaneously on my computer. Jarte is very light in resources and loads very fast, perhaps because it is based on WordPad.
Another thing that I like about this word processor is that its features are just the basics, the stuff you would often use and none of those that just clutter MS Word.
It also has a nice, and very convenient to use, tabbed feature. You can open a number of documents and each one is on a tab. It will remind you of Google Chrome.
The only important feature that is lacking with its free version is the spell checker. Other than that, this is a great free word processor.

Freelance writing is indeed a 24/7 job. Why? Because I found myself working even on Christmas day.Well, not the whole day, but for just about a couple of hours as I had to work on an article. When that was done, I rewarded myself with a slice of ham and a nice ube cake.
Yum! 
I know you may have noticed that it has been a while since I last posted here. I blame it on my continuous freelance writing work, but more especially, due to my wedding preparations. Now that the wedding is over and I am living a married life, it is time to get back on track with my online activities, particularly my blogging.
So I wish you all a Merry Christmas and may the coming new year be even more blessed for you and your loved ones!

I have been very busy lately with a couple of projects and also with my upcoming wedding. My girlfriend and I are doing all the work. We did not hire a coordinator because we want to make it very personal for us.
As you may also notice, because of these developments, I have not updated my blog for a month now. Well, if you can consider this as an update.
So in case you would like to send me a message either with regards to my blog or my copy writing work, please use my Contact form and not the comments section of this blog.
Thanks!
