How Did You First Find Out About Associated Content?
I just finished college and was looking for some place to do some freelance writing to earn some extra money. While searching online one day, I stumbled across an AC article. The rest is history.
Do You Freelance For a Living or Do Something Else As Well?
I currently work in sales for a print-on-demand marketing company. Freelance writing is just something I do on the side. It is something that I really enjoy so it doesn't seem like a second job.
Tell Us a Little More About Yourself
My wife and I have been married for 5 years. We have a son who just turned 2. We are originally from Ohio, but moved to California last summer. I currently work in sales, but I hope to someday work in advertising.
