In a dramatic turn of events that many had long predicted, Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) is packing up its operations in San Francisco and relocating to Austin, Texas. The social media giant’s departure has sparked a surprisingly gleeful response from the city’s officials, who have not minced words in their farewell. What was once a cornerstone of San Francisco’s tech ecosystem has become, in the eyes of local leaders, a liability—one they are more than happy to see go. “Good Riddance”: The City That Once Embraced Twitter Now Rejoices in Its Exit San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu spoke for many when he stated, “I share the perspective that most San Franciscans have, which is good riddance.” Chiu, who once played a pivotal role in bringing Twitter to the city, now sees its departure as a positive development. The company that was once a symbol of San Francisco’s innovation and progress has, under Musk’s leadership, transformed into something ...

One of the best ways to attract high-quality clients is to create content that speaks to their needs, in language they understand. That can mean adopting certain industry terms you wouldn’t necessarily use in your everyday speech. So how do you “speak their language” while still sounding like you? I asked a variation of this question on LinkedIn, and here’s what people said: Read more (excellent!) comments here . Based on 30+ years helping creatives land better clients with bigger budgets, here’s what I think… Honing your voice in your content is what sets you apart from other freelancers, helps your potential clients get to know, like, and trust you… And gives you a big advantage over the robotic “sameness” of AI-written content. It can take time to develop your voice, even if you’re already a writer. The best way to do that is through publishing content regularly - at least once a week.

Introduction I keep hearing about how important “ideal client personas” are in marketing, sales, and even product or service creation. It took me a while to understand what a client persona was – and here I give credit to Lynda Dell’s fantastic article, “ Why you need to revisit your personas .” In a nutshell, Hubspot defines a buyer persona as, “a semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer based on market research and real data about your existing customers.”   When we target our audience, it’s all about connecting with them. We want them to feel seen, known, and comfortable doing business together. One of the best ways to do it is to picture your ideal client and tailor your marketing to that specific person’s needs and pain points. Once that “persona” is clear and clearly articulated, you can use it with AI to find prospects just like them. But what do you do when you’re a small business, with limited time, even more limited resources, and a deep need to do every th...
