TESTIMONIAL 1

George was a very conscientious worker whilst he was here with us and worked well either on his own or with a group. He always worked to his best ability and this showed in his work which was again always very well executed. He is a very kind man and always had a smile to bring to work, very polite and keen to do different things. I would gladly have George back here with us and it would be a joy to work with him. I feel that it has been a pleasure to know George and grateful of the opportunity to do so.

TESTIMONIAL 2

As George’s team leader for most of his time working at TBS, I would like to say it was a pleasure having him as part of the team. Extremely reliable and always willing to learn more, George was also willing to work extra hours to support the operation. He would also use his initiative to keep busy and support other members of the team. A truly genuine and kind individual, we certainly miss having him at TBS.

Onboard the Linkedin ship coz we're going galactic.

If you're thinking about it day and night, snowed under your doubts, easiest thing for you to do is DM me and enquire about going up on Linkedin.

Trust me, I've been there with you -- on a different time travel machine though...

I'm not smarter, only a lad who's been around for quite some time, stirred waters on LI, polarized, developed muscles+tough skin, made colossal mistakes, and grew in it. 

This journey threw me into the deep ocean to swim; I'll now take your hand, guide, help, caress you, and let you swim on your own when you're mature enough.

Am I a wizard? No. If you crave wizardry, LI is teeming with magicians; hire one and go bankrupt.

Trusted? Oh yes. 

Dependable? 100%.

Iron cast consciousness? My asset.

Look around and see for yourself who promises real work, and who promises "wizardry". And then decide.

Everybody's selling Colgate these days. I sell toothpaste too, but it'll make your teeth whiter with my organic ingredients, not with chemicals.

👇

Writing is thinking.

Clear writing is good thinking.

Precise writing is an art.

So, word-wise, what do YOU want to sound like on Linkedin?

If you're:

-- an overseas busy + ambitious entrepreneur craving a respectable and GROWING Linkedin presence without "you lifting weights"...

-- a health/fitness coach in Europe/Asia/USA/Africa scaling up online...

-- a non-native English-language teacher/educator in Europe, Africa, Asia, or the USA who wants a strong international voice...

-- a marketing start-up in Asia, Europe, S. America, or Africa craving online expansion but is clueless about networking...

crash 🏋️‍♀️ your resistance barrier before it burys you and DM me now.

I can help you grow considerably with targeted content, witty comments, networking, and closing.

👇

At some point, you've got to outsource stuff before you burn out. 

So I'm asking, are you serious about your online growth? 

Who cooks your posts, and how often? 

How much do they *cost* you -- through your absence?

👇

Packages:

Basic £500/month. 

Medium £900/month.

Premium £1,300/month.

👇

So how do you feel about me running your organic campaigns? We can help a ton of businesses together, or impact people's lives.

What more would you like to know about me to get this partnership off the ground? 

What could I do more to earn some of your business?

Tell me.

But if you're ready, I'll see you on the inside:

Publicist

If you're an author or business owner, you're probably using tools like Grammarly or ChatGPT to polish your writing. After all, they're free, mostly accurate and do the work in a fraction of the time. But these tools aren't all they're cracked up to be. Here's why:

❌ They overlook errors.
❌ They flatten your voice.
❌ They make unnecessary suggestions.
❌ They allow factual errors to slip through.
❌ They fix the mechanics, not the content of your writing.

This can be a problem if you want your words to build trust, educate or prompt readers to take action. What's more, it can take hours to review flagged errors and figure out if they're right or wrong. (Hot tip: You need a firm grasp of grammar to know the difference.)

That's why you need a freelance editor to step in (hello, that's me!). In addition to catching grammar goofs and misspellings, I can do things that bots can't:

✔  flag clichés or bias
✔  highlight factual errors
✔  identify information gaps
✔  remove repeated words or ideas
✔  maintain your style or brand voice
✔  know when rules can and can't be broken 
✔  improve the flow and logic of your writing.

Not only does this save you time and guesswork, but it also sharpens your message, making it clear, memorable and tailored to your ideal audience. 

Here's who I work with:

👉 marketers
👉 book publishers
👉 online businesses
👉 self-publishing authors.

Here's what I edit:

👉 non-fiction books (e.g. food, garden, biography, business, history, narrative non-fiction)
👉 business and marketing copy (e.g. websites, blogs, case studies, emails).

So if you want your words to make an impact or you need a freelance editor on your team, shoot me a DM!
