A panicked freelancer recently contacted me with a problem most would love to have – before she even started to market, a potential client came aknocking! “Huh, how did that happen?” you might be wondering.
Let me explain.

“Mary” is a long-time reader of my blog and recently purchased my ebook on SEO writing. She said she did everything I said and before she could even start to market for work, a query from an SEO company had come her way.
She wrote:

First of all, please forgive my asking you this. But I have a wonderful "problem" that has occurred suddenly. . . Let me explain. I've been a long-time reader of your blog. I've been trying to start a free-lance biz and have faltered. I saw your blog postings about how you got SEO writing gigs almost lickety split, so I purchased your e-book and did everything you said. Here's my website: (she listed her website address).
The site's been up for a few weeks. But I have done nothing. (I work full-time and wanted to finish up a small free-lance newsletter gig I have via my copywriting site before I started marketing SEO writing. I never sent out ANY queries. No marketing. Zilch. Zero. Nada. Goose egg. However....today, I receive a query from an SEO firm.
Sincerely,
Yuwanda Black, Publisher
