He has a blog where he helps new freelance writers and he told me that he keeps a “little black book” of blog posts he has written that he carries with him everywhere. He also always puts the link with it so that when he is in a deep conversation anywhere he goes, he can refer people to the link.
He tells me that in today’s mobile world, most people will open it right then and there and read it. And he has gained freelance clients with this technique too.
