December is here and the end of the year is on the horizon. I’ve plans afoot for 2019 but first, I thought I’d look back over what has been a busy, productive and generally incredible year for me.
January, February & March
My career as a freelance copy and content writer began back in 2017, but this year I made it official, launching my business website in January.
I introduced myself in Who is Fi Phillips? featuring probably the only photo you’ll ever see of me on here. I told you a little bit more about me and my business in How and why I chose my logo.
As a content writer, I’m never happier than when I’m writing blog posts for my clients so my second post in March was 7 reasons to have a business blog.
April, May & June
In April, I explained Why I price by the job (not the hour) and why I was terrible at selling make-up in How to be authentic in business. Finally that month, I asked GDPR – are you ready?
In I’m a business – just like you, I explained why I was the ideal person to offer a copy and content writing service to small and medium businesses, what I had learnt so far in 2018 and exactly which experts I turn to for advice.
July, August & September
I started July with Release the Kraken: Content marketing with a dash of Monster (I still love that title), explaining why I was impressed by the content marketing of my favourite tipple.
In Stock Photos: Where I find mine, I shared the stock photo websites I go back to time and time again for beautiful images.
Heading off to warmer climes in August, I left you with Even a freelancer needs a break – the importance of taking a holiday.
When the summer holidays came to an end, my teens returned to school, and I was left with a relatively quiet home again, I shared How to ease back into work after the summer break.
October, November & December
In October, I was featured in 28 women share their top business tips by the wonderful Talented Ladies Club.
With Halloween days away, I posted My 5 fears of going freelance (and how I handled them).
On a rare quiet day for me, I shared 5 things to do on a client quiet day.
With Christmas galloping ever nearer, I wrote about How to prepare your business for the Christmas break.
I also received a glowing client testimonial which you can find on my home page.
Looking back
It has been a year of growth, of productivity, and of eye-opening learning. What more can I say? I love 2018!
Looking forward
I don’t want to rest on my lovely laurels so in 2019, I want to stretch myself even further – more learning, more variety and more clients.
If you feel you could work with me in 2019, then get in touch. Let’s face the new year together.
