One of my favorite writers is Bamidele Onibalusi as he gives some very helpful advice on his writing blog.
Not only does he give really valuable advice by outlining his marketing strategy to getting clients along with his detailed guide on guest posting, but he’s also a huge advocate of how blogging can be used to find new freelance clients.
