Hire Me

I started the BridgeMaker two years ago. 3740 Twitter followers, 1412 Facebook fans and 1.2 million page views later (and counting in each category), I’d like to help you develop your blog and communicate it to the right audience.

As you probably already know from browsing through this blog, my name is Alex Blackwell and I am the founder of The BridgeMaker.

When I started The BridgeMaker.com I had a clear vision of what I wanted to accomplish. It wasn’t about advertising dollars and it had nothing to do with affiliate sales. I started The BridgeMaker because I wanted it to be my gift to the world. The BridgeMaker connects people who are looking to find faith, share inspiration and celebrate personal change.

Ironically, by staying true to my purpose and focusing on strong content, I saw a steady increase in traffic from month to month. To date, The BridgeMaker has reached over 1.2 million page views, and interest continues to grow. Equally important, I have not lost interest in what I am doing because it matters so deeply to me.

There are millions of blogs out there. What makes readers continually return to a site is meaningful, engaging and well-written content. What helps a writer maintain momentum is a passion for the topic.

Whenever you are starting a new venture, it’s smart to have a solid road map. But your why is just as important as your how. That’s what sparks new ideas. That’s what guides your content strategy. That’s what keeps readers coming back want to read more.

How can I help you?

As a former English teacher, I’ve written over 500 articles for this blog and for many others. I also have extensive experience writing content for the web and a strong understanding of SEO best practices. I can help you convey your message in a compelling way that increases interest in your blog.

You can hire me for:

• A one-time blog evaluation report that addresses content, blog presentation, and SEO
• A phone consultation to address blogging fundamentals and blog design
• WordPress optimization
• Content strategies (how to publish compelling content consistently)
• Social media and community management (Twitter, Facebook, etc.)

• Email marketing and strategy (software recommendation, content creation and template development)
