Hi there ,
November is here! Can you believe it? October sure came and went fast. If you celebrate Halloween, I hope you had fun doing all the Halloweeny things last night. I love handing out candy and seeing all the costumes.

Expert Spotlight: Alene Laney on Breaking Into a Niche
How can you transition into online writing in a particular niche if you have no samples or experience?
Alene: I wrote practice articles on the topics I was interested in. I tried to emulate the format and style of online publications like Forbes or Bankrate. I started looking for opportunities to pitch in the niche I wanted to write in.
I landed a pitch for a high-profile personal finance site that published articles by guest authors. It gave me a great byline and credibility. I added the piece to my portfolio as soon as it was published, as well as the name of the publication in my website bio and LinkedIn summary.
Showing you can do the work, and that someone big and important trusts you to do it, is effective in obtaining more work.
That’s a wrap!
Good luck applying and I’ll see ya next Friday,
Jessica at ATFW
