As a graphic designer, I have found the need to hire freelance writers on more than one occasion. When I'm designing an ad campaign or helping flesh out a client's website, one of the most important things to remember is that words must go with the images in order to make them make sense. I sometimes have to be reminded of this myself!Here's what I tell them about hiring a freelancer:1) Good ghostwriters cost money.

You might only have one project...more

This article will discuss something you may not have seen until now. . .Obviously (or maybe not so obviously to some), you as the business owner hold the key to your success. . .What if you found out what has already been proven to make you successful?In 1970, sociologist Dr. Edward Banfield of Harvard University wrote a book titled "The Unheavenly City". This book goes into detail about one of the most (if not "the most") important discoveries about what determines how successful a person is (or is not).The goal of Dr. Banfield's study was to find out how and why some people became financially independent during the course of their working lifetimes.It's interesting to note that the doctor started the study convinced that the "answer" would be found in factors such as family background, education, intelligence, influential contacts, or some other concrete factor.
