If I suggested you double the fees you charge, maybe you’d tell me that none of your clients would use you. That sounds reasonable. After all, as freelancers we don’t set out to charge less than we can. We think we know what our clients and prospects will accept, and we write up our estimates accordingly. Now I’m going to be totally unreasonable.

I’m currently dealing with a difficult client. And this is a high-paying freelance writing project too.

Three decades ago, if you wanted a trade book, you went to a bookstore or a bigger merchant like Wal-mart or a department store with a book “section” It was actually hard to get a book any other way. That really changed starting with Amazon in 1995 and has continued to splinter since with a large number of online retailers making books available that they (mostly) source through Ingram.

How to write and publish blog posts people love to read. You don’t write and publish your blog posts so that they can exist in a meaningless space just to improve your search engine rankings. You want people to read them. Even your search engine rankings depend on people reading your blog posts. If they don’t read, they don’t respond, they don’t convert, and they don’t share your content.

But just because these words are used in everyday conversation doesn’t mean we’re familiar with the grammar rules on how to use them correctly. Has and have are both forms of the verb to have , but they are used in different grammatical contexts. Has is used with singular subjects and with the pronouns he, she, and it.
