SEO Creative Writing
Take your copy into the stratosphere with the linguistic magic I cast. Exceptionally high quality service from a native English speaker with over 15 years of bringing text to life.
Content Editing, Proofreading, & Rewriting
If you've already got some lifeless text that needs perking up, I'm here for you too. I can fix, beautify, add "pizzaz" or otherwise improve any dry piece of copy. I'm the final boss that bad writing can't get past.
Cryptocurrency Consultation
I not only simplify concepts so you can be part of the conversation, but even help you with investing and mining, so you can find the best way of interacting with crypto that suits your particular risk tolerance while staying safe.
Web Design & Development
Are you still without a personal website in 2024? Or worse, without a business website? You can't imagine how much harm this does to your brand. For over two decades studies have shown the immeasurable impact that a website can have on your branding, online presence, and eventually your sales.
Language Tutor - Fluency and Accent Training
Studies and anecdotes the world over have proven repeatedly that conversational immersion is the best way to learn a language. That's exactly what I offer, as a passing native in every language I speak due to the amount of time I've spent in each of those countries. A safe place to make mistakes knowing you'll be corrected and not laughed at.
Translation
For when robots can't get the job right and you need that human understanding. I don't just learn languages, I live in their native countries as a local for a few years to really get a solid grasp of the linguistic and idiomatic nuances. Slang is my bag. Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, and Levantine to English.
Property Management
With over a decade in the hospitality industry, I've seen the ins and outs of virtually every type of property imaginable. If you're new to this and have no idea what you're doing, or simply would like more efficient processes, I can automate, expand, and otherwise optimize most aspects of your business so you can work less, earn more, and provide a better service.
Branding, Online Presence & Marketing Strategy
Don't limit your discoverability to physical foot traffic. Get noticed by tourists planning their trips to your city. Not only that, but they also need to find you reputable, legitimate, and credible. A new or half-baked online presence can make you seem like an amateur. Or worse yet, a scam. Establish your digital store-front and increase your sales today.
Custom solutions
Looking for a specific solution that isn't explicitly mentioned on this list? Get in touch. I provide custom tailor-made turn-key solutions backed by cutting edge technology to suit your specific needs.
