I'm not a Vista user, but a friend of mine is using it right now. He said that in Vista has a program like Microsoft Visual Basic. I don’t if this is really true. I never used one. I guess that I would upgrade sometimes on the near future. Usually new software like this one has their bugs on it.

I write a lot of short stories but in the last few months I have finally pulled together the framework for a full-length novel that I'm about a quarter into writing. I love the room for expression and time that long writing allows for and I always end up having grand visions for books (although many of them are too impossible to actually create).

I feel like the novel is the ultimate form of writing for the majority of those you practice it and I will probably always strive to create full-length fiction whether it is published or not.

I almost always see this left out of conversations regarding SEO copywriting.
It is not just the demographics of the target market. You have to look at the
competition very seriously and gague their success in the major search engines.
What is their PR? All the numbers are important.

If this is not part of your research for writing SEO copy - you are missing the
boat on this one. Glancing at their SE position is not nearly enough. You have
to study as if the competition IS your client - it is THEM you have
to beat.

I have always taken into considertion the full spectrum of the competition
before taking on a new client, especially if it is a field I am not familiar with.

What the competition is doing determines keyword and key phrase density.
One blanket percentage range of numbers simply will not suffice.
Keyword density if different for every single web site according to their
market and the competition therein.

Small business owners very often do not have a clue about how to study their
own competitive market. You have to take them by the hand and lead them
down the garden path to success. Otherwise you are leading them to the
outhouse and a dead end road.

To add some more depth into this topic, I did find a website like Associated Content that I just joined. It's called http://www.triond.com/, and seems to be a website where you write what you want, and they have advertisers put it up somewhere, where you'll get money per view.

I've yet to write anything for them, but it seems to be interesting enough, that can pay off in the long run if you keep making articles for them.

Actually I haven't updated my resume since I started freelancing a while ago but now it's nice to think that I have a few jobs under my belt that I could add.

Unfortunately, I'm still very much a newbie but everyone has to start from somewhere. Was it hard to start getting clients with a small resume jnj or did you find that your work samples were more important?
