While the writing that I did for the personal blog I ran for two years was far more recreational than formal and I believe that the writing in the portfolio on my website ([login to view URL]) is a better showcase of my writing skills, my blog has over 19,000+ subscribers. As someone who particularly enjoys blogging and marketing, when writing content for your blog or website, I will ensure that the content I produce will interest your audience and increase your audience size.
