My Experience as a Blockchain Content Writer in Los Angeles



I’ve provided lots of informative, engaging content in previous months. I’ve decided the time has come for a quick and shameless self-promotional post.
Over the last two years, I’ve gained a lot of experience as a blockchain content writer in Los Angeles and as a freelance blogger. The art of article writing has become my specialty, in addition to social media posts and social media management, in-depth guides, and even white papers.
I’m always looking for places where there are freelance writers for hire. I often get propositioned on LinkedIn, although some of those people actually expect me to work for free! 
They say the payment is “exposure,” which sounds great, but how do you measure such a thing? No one asks people to do other jobs for free, but somehow asking a blockchain content writer in Los Angeles to write for free is apparently considered normal.
There’s no way that’s going to be worth it for me. I have my own blog for exposure, in addition to platforms like Medium, LinkedIn, and Steemit.
I do, however, use some sites to syndicate blog posts. Sites like Tremr.com, Blockdelta.io, and Blockchain.news don’t pay for posts, but they provide additional platforms to publish articles that have already been posted to my blog. So, I do appreciate being invited to sites like that.  
However, I have to make a living. Free articles won’t pay the bills.

Content Copywriter Business

My freelance writing business, BDN Content, did very well in 2018. I wrote all about the last two years in my latest press release.

2019 got off to a slower start but took a different direction starting in May. At this time, I became PR & Marketing Manager at BlockGroup, a startup PR firm focused on building blockchain brands. That position only lasted about three months before the startup went through some changes and wound up eliminating the PR & Marketing Manager position.
Since then, I’ve resumed article writing as a web content writer and freelance blogger. Being a content copywriter is great, and I learned a lot from my experience studying and working with some excellent content marketers. 
Web writing is a form of content marketing that few people have the skills necessary to excel at. I have a long list of experience and certifications that contributes to being a high-caliber SEO web content writer.
Again, the details are all contained in my latest BDN Content press release. You can read the press release from my press room at PRlog.org.

Freelance Content Copywriter for Hire

BDN Content is the name of my freelance writing business. I chose the name based on my full legal name: Brian Dean Nibley. My initials combined with the word “content” seemed like the perfect choice for a blockchain content writer in Los Angeles.

Welcome to my portfolio blog

My name is Brian Dean Nibley.  I’ve been writing professionally for clients since July 2017.  I find that any task can be accomplished with the right mindset.  Research of ideas and credible sources comes naturally to me, as does creating cogent arguments and engaging content.  Whether you need to convince a customer that your product or service is right for them, publish a report on the current state of affairs in your industry, or just create content describing the nature of your business, my writing will convey it with clarity. 

At the moment, I’m involved with two major companies and a volunteer organization.  The first is Blasting News, the 170th most viewed website in the world according to Alexa Rankings.  The other is Performance First Marketing, a rapidly growing marketing company that promises to get the websites of their clients to the first page of Google results.

Performance First Marketing mainly works with law firms and large companies all over the country.  I have helped construct pages for brand new websites as well as written weekly blog posts for established clients.  Some of these clients include Los Angeles Injury Law Group, Ferguson & Associates, Mercedes-Benz, McBride Dental, and more.   
  
On Blasting News, I cover a wide range of topics. I mainly write opinion pieces about recent geopolitical or economic events.  Some articles also cover specific topics requested by the staff at Blasting News U.S., such as gaming.  And every now and then I publish a news piece on something occurring in pop culture, business, or entertainment. 

I also work for KarmaTube.org, a Service Space project.  Service Space is a nonprofit organization run entirely by volunteers.  KarmaTube.org is an inspirational video site that only covers positive news.  I write video summaries and “be-the-change” suggestions for getting involved with the cause portrayed in the video. 

The most well-known Service Space project is called Karma Kitchen.  Karma Kitchen is a restaurant in San Francisco that does not charge patrons.  Instead, customers receive a receipt saying, “someone donated the cost of your meal.  Would you like to pay it forward?”  People pay it forward often enough to keep the restaurant running.  For more, see the Ted Talk entitled “giftivism”. 


All in all, I enjoy helping people with their written content needs.  Any topic that needs content, I can research and write about it.  I share the inspirational videos of KarmaTube.org with the summaries I write on social media.  I’m amassing a number of journalistic articles on Blasting News.  And Performance First Marketing keeps wanting more content for its clients.
