Going Forward with Critical Feedback at Retrospective.ly
So the freelance writing thing is actually working for me.
Luckily, my main competition is a mass of SEO long trails stuffers stuck in a
windowless office somewhere, none of whom are paid to write engaging content.
I think I’ve found my niche – SEO that can actually be read.

But the writing- I’m still going strong, and now I’m looking
to push the envelope by developing my website for better traction. This means
getting more potential clients to view my portfolio, and once I’ve ensnared
them they should throw lots of money at me. Well, some money.
To this end, I’ve been checking out Retrospective, a site dedicated to
matching those who know with those who don’t, and vice versa. The format is
simple- a self-generated review answers the basic questions in a software-style
retrospective. What went well? What didn’t? What can I do next time to really
improve?
It’s a place where I can critically review my own decisions
concerning my writing and have respected feedback provided. Then, it’s a simple
wash, rinse, and repeat. Others have a chance to read what I’ve posted out
there and either learn from my mistakes, or offer suggestions on how to
improve.
Plain and simple.
Think of it as a peer group review without the sanctimonious
butt kissing.
