Tired of dealing with fake Upwork profiles and sketchy freelancers with AI slop job proposals and articles? Me too. For the past five years, I've been working with SaaS companies to write and improve their B2B/B2C content, crafting compelling and engaging content that drives signups, conversions, and SEO traffic–all without any AI slop. I've collaborated with startups, established tech companies, and digital publications to help reach audiences and make an impact. I write because it's something that I'm great at; and I love to immerse myself with new technologies and software that can make a difference to someone. I run my own homelab just to test what I can do with my own hardware and self-hosted options, and to help understand how tech works and what it can do for the average person.

Although I have only been with Upwork for a few years, I am not new to freelancing. I have been working from home for clients for approximately 20 years. My skills range from ad & copywriting to website design & marketing as well as public relations, email marketing, social media, and SEO. Over the years, I have operated as a business manager and a marketing manager for several small, entrepreneurial clients, while also providing other marketing services to other larger clients. I manage online websites, and marketing campaigns. I also provide some customer service via chat or email or support systems like Zendesk as a part of assisting my clients with their day-to-day operations. I develop and manage marketing campaigns for their websites and products or services. I provide ongoing monthly service or I can provide project services such as SEO, SMO, ad copy, website copy, blogs, articles, press releases, and social media marketing. I also create and develop complete marketing funnels including all the advertising pieces for the funnel such as pop ups, email series, ads, advertorial/blog copy, etc. I run Facebook, Twitter, and Google ads campaigns. I create email marketing campaigns, create the website and ad copy, and manage online member areas. Whatever you need, splash pages, whole site redone, projects, mini-sites, social marketing ads, complete email campaigns and/or customer journeys (automated campaigns), I can do it. I'm proficient in many web design platforms, such as Thrive, WP Bakery, Elementor, Divi, etc. If I haven't used your platform, it won't take me long to get up to speed. I use many online tools to create graphics and if you are local to me, I can take the photos you need for your website or ad campaign. I cannot do video, however, and there are graphic artists much better than me out there. I can develop and manage sites in Shopify, Wordpress, Squarespace, and Wix. Ecommerce is not a problem. As regards my writing abilities, I have operated as a ghostwriter for clients, writing in their voice to achieve their unique look and feel for their blogs, articles, and/or marketing pieces. I am a published author in the education market and have written as a team member on Language Arts projects for many of the major educational materials companies like Scott Foresman, Harcourt, and McGraw Hill. To date, I have over 40 published works. I also spent many years running PR campaigns during the 90s, which included setting up events, press release writing & distribution resulting in media coverage of those events. In fact, I have probably generated enough print media to fill a small garage! I research and write blog articles on any subject unless it is highly technical. I can provide much of the artwork needed either from my stock library that I subscribe to or from my photographs. I have also written and designed ad copy & graphics, marketing newsletters, email copy, print matter (postcards, brochures, presentations, PowerPoint slides). I have written business plans for new businesses seeking financing. I've written marketing and strategy plans for ongoing businesses. I've created implementation plans & projects for new ventures, new products & services, or for retiring products & services. I am a hard worker who takes pride in my work, my ability to meet deadlines, and my willingness to always be part of the solution and never be a problem. I got rid of my ego a long time ago. I'm easy to correct and easy to work with, and I have a great sense of humor. Also, if you want my input I will give it, but if you just need me to execute your game plan, I can do that. I'm happy to provide the level of strategic interaction or non-interaction that you need. I've uploaded a few samples of my work in the portfolio section. It is only that which I had permission to show. I cannot confirm that these links are still working as most of these are not current projects. I have also listed some additional skills in the "Other Experiences" section. I can provide plenty more examples when needed.
