As an active networker, I’m always following on referrals. Here’s one that turned into ongoing projects.

Lauren Deane Evans is an art director, friend and colleague. Her company is Good Looking Ideas and we’re both members of a networking group at BNI Embarcadero.com. A few weeks ago, she told me that someone looking for writers for a new Intuit Small Business Blog.

I jumped on this opportunity because I’mve written about 1,500 blog articles about advertising, marketing, sales, and travel as blogs for myself, clients, magazines, etc., and sent them links to justify my credentials.

Most important of all, their writers needed to be WordPress experts. I’ve learned this platform through my work with Bradley Charbonneau of Likoma.com, another BNI Embarcadero member.

A week later, I got the gig as a contributing writer and am now cranking out up to five articles a week for Intuit, which is also a long-time client of mine for direct response copywriting. Here’s the URL for my articles, so please visit the site, read some of them, and make a comment.

Some of my recent posts are:

• “Virtual Companies: How To Compete With The Big Boys“
• “Top Five Halloween Businesses: Profiting From The Great Pumpkin“
