Search traffic is down 25% for publishers. Social referrals are plummeting. So what's working? Newsletters, niche expertise, and building your own audience. The platforms are unreliable landlords. Time to own your real estate. bit.ly/3WVrw4K

Editor pet peeve I'm hearing more of: writers who use AI summaries instead of reading the actual source material. Result? Missed context, wrong emphasis, embarrassing gaps. There's no shortcut to credibility. #WritingTips #Journalism #EditorialStandards #FreelanceWriting

78% of content teams are now using AI for ideation and research. But human editors still catch context AI misses. Your expertise is more valuable than ever. Just differently. #ContentMarketing #AIWriting #EditorialStrategy #WritingCommunity bit.ly/3WVrsSy

AI can draft in 30 seconds. But it can't call your sources at City Hall. It can't ask the follow-up question that breaks the story open. The future belongs to reporters who master relationships, not just tools. #JournalismIsntDead #Journalism #WritingTips #Reporter

Writers: What's your biggest AI dilemma right now?


Every executive has a memoir inside them. The hard part isn't the stories—it's finding the throughline that connects 40 years into a coherent narrative. That's where deep listening pays off. #ExecutiveMemoir #Storytelling #BusinessWriting

Tested 12 different posting strategies over 60 days. Result? Pre-engagement routines (commenting before posting) drove 48x higher reach than post-and-pray. Small effort, massive impact. #SocialMediaStrategy #LinkedInTips #ContentMarketing

Covering workplace innovation for 15+ years taught me: The best stories aren't about technology—they're about people adapting to it. That's why people analytics is fascinating right now. We're measuring what matters. #BusinessJournalism #PeopleAnalytics #HRTech

The shift from 'SEO-first' to 'AI discovery-first' content strategy isn't just coming—it's here. Are you optimizing for how AI surfaces information, or still playing by 2020 rules? The brands winning in 2025 are doing both. #ContentStrategy #AIMarketing bit.ly/3JPE4Ym

Imposter syndrome at 40: 'Am I charging enough?' Now: 'Here's my rate.' Confidence comes from delivering results over decades. You're not selling time—you're selling 15+ years of expertise compressed into their project. #FreelanceConfidence #B2BConsulting #KnowYourWorth

Your freelance superpower isn't writing—it's becoming the expert your clients call when they need strategic thinking. I write about HR analytics because I understand it deeply. The writing is easy when you know your stuff. #B2BWriting #ThoughtLeadership #FreelanceStrategy

Freelancing isn't about hustling 24/7. It's about building systems that work while you sleep: evergreen content, passive referrals, retainer agreements, strategic positioning. Work smarter at 66 than I did at 40. #FreelanceWriting #SemiRetired #SmartBusiness

The freelancers earning $100K+? They stopped being 'writers' and became 'the person who understands [specific industry] AND can write.' Pick your niche. Own it. Become irreplaceable. #FreelanceWriter #B2BMarketing #NicheDown

15+ years freelancing taught me: Your best B2B clients rarely come from cold pitching. They come from being consistently visible where your ideal clients hang out. Write for their industry pubs. Comment on their posts. Show up. #FreelanceWriting #B2BWriting #ClientAcquisition

Stop creating content for algorithms. Start creating content that AI wants to cite as authoritative. There's a difference—and it matters more every day. #ContentMarketing #AIOptimization #ThoughtLeadership bit.ly/3JPE4Ym

Librarians and other information specialists have been significantly impacted by the rapid and disruptive rise of generative AI (gen AI). In truth, though, we ALL need to be reskilling! Here's what some experts told me when researching an article for @InfoToday #GenAI #ChatGPT

We can all learn a lot from older entrepreneurs. I know I do! I appreciate hearing their insights for articles I've been doing on issues that impact work and purpose for the 50+ crowd. Like this one for @NextAvenue and @EIXSocial #OlderEntrepreneurs #Over50 #Entrepreneurship
