Blogging, SEO keyword-based writing, sales pitches, rewriting of articles and training materials, web copy and creative writing - if it's made with words it's made for me! Instilled with a love of language from an early age, I enjoy bending my pen to different subjects, researching new topics and giving a touch of flair to every piece I write.

Uncomfortable truths about love - and what to do about them

Small businesses have a lot on their plate and trying to accomplish a lot with limited resources and personnel remains one of their biggest challenges.

Getting started with SEO for your small business
As a small business owner, you likely already understand that SEO or search engine optimization is all about drawing the right kind of visitors to your website. In order to do this, your website needs to ‘speak the search engine language’, while also delivering a rewarding and engaging experience for your human readers.
Here are a few search engine optimization tips for startups
When you’re the owner of a small business or startup, you’re juggling so many different responsibilities that staying on top of the latest digital marketing strategies is probably not high up on your list of priorities. And that’s a shame – because solid search engine optimization practices that boost your organic traffic can keep bringing in new customers for free indefinitely, unlike once-off marketing campaigns that may see your revenues spike only to fall back down once you stop pouring money into them.

Article research

Born and bred in South Africa with an English teacher for a mom, a love of words and language was instilled in me from a very early age!

I enjoy taking on the challenge of new subjects and research, and see each new topic as an opportunity to learn and educate my readers at the same time.

My interests include sustainability, renewable energy and nutrition, although I have written on a diverse range of subjects from clothing to barcode technology to vegan cooking!

I live by the seaside on the balmy Indian ocean coast of KwaZulu Natal with my three cats and slowly developing organic vegetable garden.
