If I could snap my fingers and make the world perfect, we’d all only write when we felt inspired. Yes, I realize what I just wrote likely implies that The Pocket PhD wouldn’t exist in the perfect world. I’m not sure how I feel about that. But let’s move on. Unless you...
During the past two months, I’ve been working with some great beta testers for a new service I’m offering. The service is monthly ghostblogging + content marketing and the goal is for The Pocket PhD to take all of your content marketing off of your plate. It’s going...
