Wannabe Interview #1 Mandy Boyle SEO Copywriter

I was lucky enough to get Mandy Boyle, graduate student, freelance writer, self-described cupcake enthusiast, and SEO Specialist to commit a few moments to discuss what she does on Twitter!

You can find the full interview here at Tweeterview.com, but here are a few great tidbits!

Mandy addressed what she does. "An SEO copywriter crafts SEO-friendly content for websites. We use SEO best practices along with creative writing skills. We research and use keywords in our text while providing value to a website visitor and/or searcher."

Her advice in writing for search engine optimization? "Do your research, always proofread, and don't sacrifice quality. It can be easy to get lost in the keywords. Make sure that the content is always user-friendly and creative. Always make keywords occur naturally. And don't be afraid to ask questions. When I was learning, I read books, blogs, and attended webinars. Always try to improve."

Thanks again to Mandy and you can read more of Mandy's work at her blog, www.mandyboyle.com.

It was great to see that she also uses Zemanta!

I'm talking about it because my wife's band has used every medium known to mankind to promote themselves online and Myspace has been nothing but dead weight from the very beginning. Only bands and their most ardent fans go there. The rest are on Facebook. There is talk of selling Myspace, but who in their right mind would consider it? This will have some interesting implications for bands down the road. Many use Myspace as their de facto website, just pushing their domain name onto the customizable site. Now apparently, Reverbnation , a North Carolin

New Life

It's weird, sad and slightly freeing. I've been headed towards a completely different life for a lot longer than I even knew. It took me a while to catch up to realize it was happening. Thankfully, I was cognizant enough to see it finally and mostly ready for it. It's amazing when you have the rug completely pulled out from underneath you. The adjustments are jarring. I made mistakes, but like most I learned from them, adapted, and tried my best to do better. The reason you see that truck next to a storage place? That's the sum of my life right now. Never take for granted that you will work hard for something or someone, and it will end up meaning very little. You are guaranteed nothing, owed nothing, promised nothing. Anything and everything can be taken away in a heartbeat. I wrote this to my kids a while back: I tried to be the best father I could be based on what I knew when I knew it and how I could. One of the lessons for your life needs to be: you need to b
