I’m not the biggest fan of LinkedIn. I’ve never been a fan of it and recently it seemed to get more… salesy? My inbox was full of people trying to sell me something and the posts on my homepage all seemed to be lightly veiled humble brags. But I’d heard from a lot of freelancers that LinkedIn was THE place to be. And, with the threat of Twitter going up in flames, I was keen to try out some other platforms.

Making money by doing what you love sounds great, doesn’t it? I know I got into freelance writing because I absolutely love it. It’s an opportunity for me to follow my passion, earn an income, and work from home. But part of being a successful freelance writer is not how well we write or how many clients we have – we also have to understand the money aspect of our business.

With the economy up in the air due to inflation kicking into high gear, war, interest rates rising, and other factors that we can’t control we decided it would be great to see how other marketers are reacting. And we didn’t want to know how marketers were reacting just in the U.S., we wanted to know on a global scale what businesses of all sizes in all major industries (and for both B2B and B2C) are doing.

When you need to support a claim, it can be tempting to support it with a statement from an authority figure. But if done improperly, this could be a logical fallacy—the appeal to authority fallacy. . While experts are often the best people to reference for credible information, it’s possible to use an expert’s statement in a way that isn’t logically sound.

The Write Life

The term “sensory language” refers to language used in writing that connects the readers to real life senses—touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste. Writing with sensory language falls into the “show don’t tell” realm of writing advice, where painting a vivid picture of what you want your reader to see is much more impactful than just listing the facts of that scene.

Have you ever wished you could pull a character aside and explain the situation to them? “Don’t worry, Romeo—Juliet is faking it,” you might say. If you’ve had that feeling, then the writer is using dramatic irony, a story structure where the reader has more information than the characters. Dramatic irony can create contrast, tension, and suspense in writing.

For instance, some businesses can get away with a friendlier, joking demeanor in their site copy and interactions with clientele. For a different business, this attitude comes off as unprofessional. .

While it’s true that we’ve published a number of posts on logical fallacies, it’s inaccurate to say the blog is focused on logical fallacies. In fact, it’s not even logically sound to make that claim, because if you look at all the posts we publish, you’ll see that the majority aren’t about logical fallacies.
