This week on the podcast, Rachel and Lynne are chatting with Paul Merrill, a former editor in chief of weekly magazines, who established his own freelance content business five years ago.

  • Finding work when you are starting out
  • How his background in journalism helps him create interesting content
  • His newly established niche of award writing and how it has brought in a new income stream
  • Working with corporate clients
  • Offering a wide range of content services
  • Enjoying work/life balance
