Too many freelancers believe that creating a brand starts and ends with the creation of a clever logo and a nifty tagline. Not so. The final expression of your brand, in words and images, comes right at the end of the process of brand creation. Why? Because, as a freelancer, your brand is YOU. You can’t create your business without putting yourself front and center.

If you are one of the 63% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, then budgeting is a must. Fortunately, adding a side hustle like freelance writing, can help you live more freely (travel around the world) and sustainably. One of the best reasons I love about being a freelance writer is you can make up your own salary and rates. But in the beginning, when you’re learning the ropes, getting consistent (high-quality, paying) writing jobs can be a little more difficult to come by.

Ask a freelance writer what responsibilities are on his or her to-do list, and you'll hear something like this: Business development. Marketing. Podcast appearances. Client communications. Project management. Creating contracts and proposals. Invoicing. Taxes. Payroll. Researching. Writing. Editing. You get the idea. For many years, I too felt it was my duty as a freelancer to handle all of these things.

You make your living as a psychic, offering readings to people seeking guidance in some area of their life. Perhaps most of your clients come your way via word of mouth or street signage promoting your services, but you know you could be doing more. Growing your business would allow you to help more people as well as increase your income, which isn’t such a bad thing.

So often, aspiring authors start off on a “road trip” without a clear sense of where they’re going, let alone how to get there—and so they end up lost.

We could all be forgiven for briefly believing that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in marketing are only about generating content. The end of 2022 drowned in the splash from generative AI such as ChatGPT, Jasper.ai and others for text, and DALL-E, Midjourney, and others for images. But it’s a new year. Time to move past the awe of the previous few months to take a level-headed look at the many ways AI shows up in marketing technology to generate broad impact.
