I've been in publishing for 26 years, the first 11 as a production editor for various publishers, and since then as a full-time freelance copyeditor. I am a medical editor with a specialty in editing manuscripts written by non-native speakers of English. My editing has helped researchers in 20-plus nations get their articles published in more than two dozen peer-reviewed journals. I am also the creator and curator of the Copyeditors' Knowledge Base. On Twitter, I am @KOKEdit.
Please join me and my colleagues at Communication Central's Build Your Business conference this year. The theme is Finding Your Niche/Expanding Your Horizons, and you'll find plenty to help your business grow.

You can really build your own self-image nowadays through the internet, and through some social networking sites. Also, if you have a small business, you can also build its image through the internet. And you can make a big profit out of it.
ReplyDeleteI knew some online stores and they really make it big on the online shopping industry. And I also believe that they put their income in an offshore bank. Bahamas, my hometown has clients from different online stores where they deposit and save their money. I think now is the time for us also to make a difference, be known and get profit from it.
Thanks for the informative post!
