Weird, but that’s the facts about writing for online clients for almost a decade. Businesses shut down and blogs get updated or completely removed.

But this didn’t happen in one iteration – it took many updates and even today, I still change my copy or message on LinkedIn. Those tweaks, pivots, and copy changes is ..read more
