I’m spending this month completing projects for businesses. Check out my work for week 1 and week 2.

Actual results I produced

This week, I worked with a local apartment business to solve their pain points. Their owner told me he wanted a higher SEO ranking, new business ideas, and a way to attract online reviews proportional to his quality of service.

I wrote him a business plan customized to Carbondale’s challenges. I wrote a Carbondale City Guide, blog content for the Top 3 Hiking trails, Top 3 Breakfast Joints, a roommate guide, How to Slash Utility Costs.

I read The Beginner’s Guide To SEO, so I actually understand how the internet works. I also read “The Personal MBA” by Josh Kaufman

Workflow Breakdown

I met with the business owner on Monday and I discovered his pain points. I analyzed his Google Analytics and online reputation, then started writing.

Good writing is a painful process. Above is one of my first drafts.

What I’m learning

I’m learning what determines ranking on Google, how to optimize business social media, blog content, and website speed. I cut my company’s average loading time by two seconds.

What I’ll be working on next week.

I’m going to continue helping small businesses with SEO and marketing. I’ll keep you posted.
