Deb Ng’s post on her frustrations about writing for search engine optimization (SEO) made a shiver run down my spine. I am so happy that I don’t have to do that kind of writing to pay the bills. It was yet another reminder to me to be thankful that I work as a full-time freelancer doing the kind of writing I truly enjoy. Sure, there are some assignments from nonprofit clients that I slog through, but for the most part, I really do like writing newsletter articles, web content, annual reports, etc. I love helping nonprofits tell their stories. I think I’d rather quit freelancing than be forced to write nothing but SEO articles on cheap refrigerators and pallet racks!

Hi Kivi
I have only recently discovered your site. I love the design.
I’ve tagged you for a meme on my site, Grow Your Writing Business. It’s called “Am I Talking to You?”, and is about exploring who you write for, and who your blog audience is.
If you’d like to take on the meme, call in to my site, and check it out.
Thanks for a great site. I look forward to calling in here often.
All the best

Great post! On the Copywriter Underground I preach the idea of targeting the clients and industries you want to work for, and it certainly sounds like you’ve found a home.
Continued good luck!
