Mastering Writing Samples for Jobs: Insight and Tips From My 9-Month Job Hunt
Almost a year ago to the day, I found myself job hunting for the first time in a decade. It was unexpected. I didn’t have a current resume or a writing sample for job applications. Frankly, I was in over my head. And the market was ruthless. If you’re reading this feeling the same way: There is light at the end of the tunnel. Layoffs have been rampant in recent years, especially amid COVID-19 recovery. In the United States, unemployment sits at 4% — the highest rate in two years. But, at the same time, 270,000 jobs were created just […]

I Tried Out the 8 Best Free Headline Analyzers — Here Are My Results
Writing a headline can be harder than writing a 1,500-word article. But that’s no excuse for writing bad ones, especially when help is so easy to come by. Like email subject line testers, headline analyzers can help you get more clicks by using algorithms to assess factors like SEO, word count, and sentiment (is it positive, negative, or neutral?). There are a lot of headline analyzers out there, and as someone familiar with the overwhelm of too many options, I knew I needed to narrow down the field. After polling co-workers, combing subreddits, and running some quick tests, I landed […]

The 13 Best Free Graphic Design Software for Marketers and Beginners
When it comes to website success, what you see is what you get. If the budget is tight or non-existent, free graphic design software can make a real impact on how you present yourself in digital spaces. As an admittedly lousy product photographer, please believe me when I say that graphic design software is a key reason my small businesses still exist. It’s been a while since I needed to make anything new, but I’m still paying monthly fees for the software I built my visual assets with. I hope you’ll join me on this new exploration — I’m trying […]
These AI Tools Upped My Productivity, Here’s How
Benjamin Franklin once said, “Lost time is never found again.” While that isn’t exactly the most optimistic quote, it’s unfortunately true. Until scientists figure out time machines or immortality, we’re stuck with adopting methods to remain productive and better use our time. We can’t deny AI’s cultural renaissance. It has become a part of everyday workflows and conversations. HubSpot’s AI Proof & Positioning Report found that workers are most concerned about losing their jobs due to AI, and the #1 reason they don’t use AI is because they worry about becoming too reliant on it. While I understand how unsettling […]

The AIDA Model: A Proven Framework for Converting Strangers Into Customers
One of my favorite Super Bowl commercials is 2020’s Boston-set “smaht pahk” ad, which heralded Hyundai’s self-parking feature. Rachel Dratch’s and Chris Evans’ exaggerated Boston accents grab your attention. John Krasinski confidently eyeing a too-narrow parking space piques your interest. If you’ve ever squeezed into a parallel parking space, lurching back and forth a few inches at a time, this ad probably awakened a burning desire for a self-pahking cah. By the time David “Big Papi” Ortiz leans out of a nearby window and watches the sedan easily slide between two poorly parked cars, you’ve gone into action and pulled […]
