Why Hire Linda?

Linda here. So, you’ve decided you can use a blog mentor but you’re wondering if you should hire me. Fair enough. I’ll share a bit about my background and hopefully help you make the decision to contact me.

I’ve been blogging since 2004. Not quite six years doesn’t sound like too long. In fact, some 5-year-olds are barely out of pull-ups, but statistically, something like 30 percent of blogs are less than 9 months old. So, in bloggy years, starting in 2004 puts me among the blue-hairs.

But more important than my experience with personal blogs is my professional experience coupled with the specialized training I’ve received.

Professional Experience:

• Founder of instructional blog about blogging: On Blogging Well
• Small business management — 10 years
• USMC Division Training Manager  — 5 years
• Newspaper Copy-editor — 2 years
• Newspaper Staff Writer — 2 year
• Freelance Writer — 10 years
• Magazine Staff Writer — 2 years
• Author — one non-fiction book
• Small Press Owner — 3 years

Specialized training courses I’ve taken from the blogging industry’s top names include:

• The Blog Mastermind — by Yaro Starak
• Creating Fame — by Laura Roeder
• Project Mojave — Clay Collins
• Copywriting Success Summit — Michael Stelzner & Company
• Internet Marketing training from Buzz Boosters, Dave Navarro, Brian Clark, Kenneth Yu, and others.

Submit your request via email (mail [at] lindafulkerson [dot] com) and include the best times for me to call.
