I’m working on developing a portfolio for doing freelance writing. Now, by and large nearly all of my work centers around topics directly related to blogging. It’s just something I find fascinating.

I need to build a portfolio of articles that are about other things and rather than set up dozens of blogs with just a post or two on them I figure, why not write for you and let you post the article on your blog.

some conditions on this deal.

1. G-rated preferred, PG=13 possibly considered anything beyond that not considered.
2. Preferably you need something NOT in the blogging, social media, entrepreneurial fields.
3. I get a small picture of me with an about Dane blurb and a link back to my freelance portfolio page at the bottom of the article.
4.The article is 100% unique. I maintain copyright but neither of us is permitted to repost the article elsewhere.

Post the topic you want an article on and url of the blog you would like me to consider.

You can post the info here in the comments section, on my shout box at BlogCatalog or at Hey Dane! just submit a ticket in the “freelance” department.

I got a call earlier this evening from a tax preparation business. It’s one of the large regional chains and the shop is over in Sikeston.

I had mentioned to one of the employees there that I might be interested in doing work for them during the upcoming tax season, and they dropped my number on the boss.

So, on Monday evening I’m going to be starting tax school to learn how to help people do their taxes.

I know this isn’t like “really” freelancing, but in a way it is, because I’ll be temporary but not through a temporary agency, so I’m calling it freelance work.

I’m also going to be putting my bid in on a minimum of 10 writing and 5 design freelance assignments on oDesk this evening. I’m ramping up my efforts to land some paying freelance work. I’ll post more about that is a couple of hours.

I has occurred to me that a blog on the adventures of a guy in tax school might be mildly interesting, and with some of the keywords involved, potentially lucrative as well. So I’m thinking about setting up a blog to journal the whole experience and earning a double income from the process.

So what do you think? Would you read a blog about the adventures of a neophyte tax guy? How about if I passed on some tricks and tips for stiffing the tax man?

PS. See, I really can write a short post!
