Teahon-Freelance writer For all writing services and advice.

Words, words and more words, and an update!

The freelance writing world has been a little quiet of late, with my focus on Link-optimise and our other projects.  The former has just launched its resources page, and this is proving popular among visitors.  Those of you who accessed the blog via the homepage may have noticed a few changes to it, but we'll say no more about that.   I recently had 13 articles rejected by pure-content, and though one of them was ropey, I do feel the others were not 'off topic' as they stated, but were ok.  Anyway, the upshot of this was that I rewrote them.  We'll see what happens with that one. 

Dr Teng paid me for my efforts, and asked me to write a poem about Star Wars, as his daughter is selling Star Wars trading cards on Ebay, and wanted a suitable rhyme to go with it.  Can't say I ever envisioned I would ever write about that.

Chris, from Digitpedia recently asked me to write six press releases and not to write about Blackberry Curve smartphones any more.  Both were good decisions on his part!

I have recently paid a company to conduct a link campaign for Teahon.co.uk.  This is in part a test for the company to see it is something we can offer to Link-optimise's clients, I'm also hoping that we can generate ad revenue through extra traffic.  We'll see.

The next step for both this blog and Link-optimise is to add ads.  This will be done via Google Adsenseand is currently in Phil's hands.  Sadly, we have been dogged by more IT problems as every night for about five hours, Phil's Internet crashes.  All very puzzling and annoying.  That being said we are making progress and are currently investigating what sites work with children, and should we have a character to introduce the site.  Personally, I'm against this as I prefer to think of the site more like a very interesting book, but I could be being old fashioned in my outlook.  Phil and I are agreed that the site's character should it have one, have an interesting character that is appealing to children, and not too annoying for parents.  If we can't achieve this then we will scrap the character idea altogether.

Phil and I, have had another website idea of having an online comic.  This site will be just like a comic with updates happening every week or month, and telling a story which is continued with each new installment.  Though we do not feel the ad revenue will come in quite as often as our other ideas, it does allow us a way of flexing our creative muscles.  Of all the projects we have started or are planning to start, this is the one that I would like to work on the most.

Talk soon.
