		<description>Interesting question Gina. I&#039;d never really sat down and thought about how many of my business clients were B2B-type businesses and how many sold to consumers!

I&#039;d say my early clients were one small B2b and then a very large B2B.

In the past year, I landed a very big consumer retailer, and also an airline magazine, so I think of that as B2C also...plus one more major corporation that&#039;s B2B.

As far as what &quot;freelance&quot; writer means...it just means you don&#039;t have a staff writer job. Freelance writers do every kind of writing on earth, not just B2B copywriting -- they write technical manual and textbooks, brochures for bakeries...as long as you&#039;re not a full-time staffer somewhere, you&#039;re a freelancer!

I know Peter well, and I don&#039;t have the sense that he&#039;s &#039;all about B2B writing.&#039; He&#039;s all about freelance copywriting...could be for any type of business. Or at least that&#039;s how it sunk into my brain.

There&#039;s no question that B2B is a great niche. It seems like there&#039;s another level of sophistication to talking to other business owners that often commands better rates.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the post. I am still trying to sort out what &quot;freelance&quot; writer means. I know Peter Bowerman is all about Business to Business writing. How much B2B do you do? Or do you apply his principles to all types of assignments? Thank you.</description>

		<description>Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful post; this is the type of thing that keeps me motivated through the day. I&#039;ve been searching around for these posts unpon heading about them a buddy and was thrilled after I found it after searching for some time. As a blogger myself, I&#039;m glad to see others taking initiative and adding to the community. Just wanted to comment and show my gratitude for your contributions as it is extremely encouraging, and many people don&#039;t get the praise they deserve. I know I&#039;ll come back to read more and will spread the word to my friends. </description>

		<description>I am glad to stumble upon this blog. For some time, I have toyed with the idea of trying to start one just like this too, however I am not having the know-how on how to do it. What is this &quot;blogging&quot; thing? Is it hard to learn? Do I have to be smart in computers to have a blog? I am trying to hammer together a blog for my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.my-english-writing.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ESL&lt;/A&gt; for students website. Can it be added seamlessly into an existing website?</description>

		<description>Based on the Bangalore job-ad you&#039;ve linked to here and the English grammar problems in the comment above, I&#039;d say work on your English skills as a start if you want to freelance for English-language publications. 
 
But also, stayed tuned on this blog for next week, when I&#039;ll be answering a question about freelance writing opportunities when you are not a native English speaker! </description>
