Truthfully, it's been a busy year for me. Last November, I was hired as a copywriter for a network marketing company based here in Tampa. For those who are unfamiliar with network marketing, think Amway or MonaVie. If you've ever wondered what happened to the door-to-door salesmen of the early 20th century, they evolved into network marketers.
The company I work for, Numis Network, specializes in the sale of graded and certified precious metal coins from the world's leading government mints (I have written that line so many times that it has become my reflex response whenever people ask me about my job). I handle all of the company's emails to our representatives and customers as well as any in-house writing that needs to be done. I write copy for brochures, product descriptions, and presentations. I also manage the company's Policies and Procedures, Terms and Conditions, and 4 separate blogs.
My experience at Numis Network has been invaluable. My skills at Search Engine Optimization have grown immensely, and I quickly established myself as the resident numismatic expert in our office. My favorite part about this job is that I get to write about something that I find fascinating: Coins.
Yes, I'm a coin collector. No, I'm not 65 and I don't live with my mother. Does that make me a geek? Probably; I'm sure the degree in Professional and Technical Writing isn't helping (I think that the omission of the Oxford comma in a serial listing of 3 or more items in a sentence should be a crime punishable by 30 lashes). Unfortunately, with all of the writing I do for work, it can be difficult to find the motivation to write for myself during my free time. I promise that will change.
