Back in 2017 (with updates in 2018 and 2019) I told prospective clients that I was going to offer only two posts a month. Three to on occasion.
That’s because I wanted to be as honest and realistic on how much I could offer to clients given my chronic health issues.
The Copywriting and Blogging Side of my Business
For 10+ years I have provided B2B clients with copywriting services, cartoons and the power of my HSP empathy, all while trying to act as normal as possible.
Sadly, mental (and neurological) illness makes me unable to provide 8-12 blog posts a month while maintaining a high standard of quality and a good health at the same time.
That’s why, more than ten years later, I decided to make even more changes:
- Remove all copywriting services and only provide 2-3 blog posts a month to B2B businesses and firms (freelance blogging)
- Keep only a few consulting services
- Make the leap and focus more on my own products to sell (e.g. books, courses)
On occasion, I will still do copywriting in the form of web copy, case studies or white papers, but I will only offer these services to a selected few, hand-picked clients in the SEO, Marketing and Software industry whose projects I greatly believe in, and who understand that I may only provide such services on generous deadlines with flexibility.
(You can still inquire about web copy, case studies and white papers. Let’s see if your project conquers me!)
The Art Side of my Business
Also, as an artist, I have provided blog post and newsletter cartoons to businesses, and I have taken on art commissions since 2005.
Year 2020 is a huge turning point for me, as I want to focus on my own art for sale and art projects in collaboration with writer Lia Dospetti.
However, I will still take up art commissions and blog post illustration assignments, probably even more often than in the past.
The Product Plans for 2020 through 2021
I want to focus on:
- writing marketing books
- creating marketing and SEO comics
- create and sell Sci-Fi art and comics
- create a few email courses.
All things that have been on my mind for a while. π
And big projects take time. I want to give them that time. Starting 2020.

Thanks for your kind words, Daniel!
I think it is very important to know your limits. Push yourself too much and you’ll end up burning out and resenting what you used to enjoy.

And trust me, Helen, burnout is the last thing I want to deal with. I’m taking all the extra steps to make sure I don’t get there.
