What I do for a living?
I have my own business, The Friendly Copywriting Company. I write web copy, articles, newsletters and blog posts for various clients and brands. I also help brands launch social campaigns, build online communities and develop a tone of voice. If you're interested in going freelance and want to learn more, check out this post I wrote about my experiences.
How I get people to read my blog?
I put lots of effort into it! I'm constantly thinking, writing, commenting and promoting. It's hard work but totally worth it. Take a look at my Lazy Girl's Guide to Blogging for some tips, or read my posts in the blogging category.
What camera I use?
Until March 2012, the majority of my photos were taken with a Canon G11, which I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone who likes photos but isn't very good at taking them (like me). I bought mine on eBay.
I recently upgraded to a Canon 550D and I'm learning how to use it (slowly).
How I edit my photos?
I use Photoshop to crop, brighten and resize my photos. I also use it to create collages.
Where I find so many charity shop/car boot bargains?
Take a look at The Lazy Girl's Guide to Thrifting to see my top tips for second hand shopping. If you're in Leeds or the general Yorkshire area, my post on charity shops, car boots sales and vintage stockists in Leeds might help.
Where I got that dress/those jeans/that necklace from?
I always list the pieces that make up my outfits, and where they're from, in my posts. If I've missed something, just let me know!
