4 Years Ago Today

April 16, 2006 was the first day I opened my freelance business. In the four years I've been in business I've pitched, signed and completed hundreds of thousands of dollars in business (not bad for a one-woman shop).

Some of the highlights have been . . .

• My first book, coming out from FamilyArchives.com later this year (read an excerpt).

• Content for many websites including heritagewerks.com, familyarchives.com and constitutionfacts.com and others.

• Relocated from Virginia to the greater St. Louis area.

• Dozens of word-of-mouth marketing stories for the Snow Companies on behalf of clients like Genentech and EMD Serono.

• Given hundreds of dollars to Miriam's Kitchen and the St. Louis Area Foodbank.

• Working with a thought leader on op-ed pieces published in USA Today Online.

• Content marketing, including new quizzes, fun facts and Facebook page for ConstitutionFacts.com, including flagship quiz that has been taken over 60,000 times since launch in Sept. 2009.

• Business blogging for Furniture Brands (Henredon, Pearson Textiles, and Furniture Designed) on behalf of Durbin Media of Ladue, Missouri.

• Advised many friends and colleagues about launching their own freelance businesses.

• Led corporate history projects including creation of unique history quiz cube for M.C. Dean, Inc. of Sterling, Virginia, on behalf of CorporateHistory.net of Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, working with Craig Martin Simon Design of St. Louis.

• Copyediting for publishers, including Colonial Williamsburg and the Omohundro Institute/UNC Chapel Hill Press (Chicago Style).

• Production proofreading and for MD Consult and Anheuser-Busch on behalf of Switch of St. Louis, Missouri (AP Style).

Your advice and friendship has meant the world to me; here's to 40 more years of success in your freelance business (I figure you'll want to retire at some point...).
