I’m one of the first writers for the personal finance blog at TechBargains.com. I’ve been writing for the site for about a month.

My latest stories have been about how to find deals on summer flights, and tips on what not to do when buying and selling on Craigslist and the best foods to buy when you’re broke.

I have a new client, or will at least for the next three months as I do a three-month trial and write bi-monthly stories for MortgageLoan.com.

My first story is about how to buy a home if you have student loan debt. I found a student in Baltimore who is doing this, and I’m amazed how frugal and smart he is and how he’s able to do this. I wish I could have done this when I graduated from college.

If you have story ideas and real estate and mortgages, please send them to me. I’m always looking for sources and stories in this area, and will be happy to link to you as a source.

Here are some of the stories I wrote in April:

Personal finance

• Millennials know how to save.
• What not to do when buying or selling on Craigslist.
• Teen sells part of her future income for $125,000.
• 16 ways to kick-start frugality.

Auto insurance

• How pay-as-you-drive insurance works.
• Lessons from Reese Witherspoon.
• Apps to stop texting and driving.
• An interesting way to protect your car from hail.
• Beware when driving behind a big rig.
• How to read between the lines in car ads.
• Why it’s worth checking a credit score before buying a car.

All that and some editing for a personal finance website’s blog.

Happy #TipThursday!

I’m now writing for Credit.com on debt and credit for the site’s blog. It’s more of the work I do in personal finance writing, and I’m excited to be writing more about this topic.

Recent stories I’ve done:

• Who pays your credit card bill when you die?
• 5 things to do with your money when you get engaged.
• Money worries facing Americans in 2013
• Holiday expenses that last well beyond the start of the new year.

All future stories that I do for Credit.com’s blog can be found on my author bio on the website.

Check out my expanding portfolio for more of what I’m working on.

It was an interesting and fun story to research and I’m excited to start writing health stories.

The interviews were also a lot of fun, with the main one this morning on Skype to London. It was the first interview I’ve done on Skype, and it was nice to see the person instead of just hearing a voice on the phone. I’d rather be in London, though.

And one last bit of good news: My Twitter account has reached 1,000 followers! If you don’t follow @aaroncrowe already, go to Twitter now and let’s get it up to 2,000!

December is always a difficult month to work as a freelancer. Sources are busy and it’s difficult to get ahold of people.

Like most people, I’m busy getting ready for Christmas and would rather be taking my daughter, pictured above mailing a letter to Santa last year, out for some holiday fun instead of working.

But work continues, and I just wanted to send out this short reminder that I’ll be working like a busy elf through Dec. 21. That’s the last day of school, so I’ll be taking off through the end of the year and will be back to work Jan. 2.

Until then, I’ll be busy writing and editing for various clients, and on the search for new clients in the new year.

Here are two things I’m working on this month that should be fun: Writing a monthly newsletter aimed at helping clients have better websites and improve traffic, and working with the Chamber of Commerce in my area on a presentation I’ll give in January on how to be a better blogger for your business.

As always, you can keep up with what I’m writing at my Facebook page, and check back here for updates on how to get in on the workshop I’m giving on how to blog for your business. If you can’t attend, I’ll make it available here somehow.

If you’d like to subscribe to my newsletter, go to the Home page and fill in your name and email address on the subscriber link down the right column.

This is a client I’m excited about. I’m the editor of its blog, helping to improve its personal finance stories so that readers will stay on the site and buy its products.

I’m excited because it’s the type of thing I specialize in and enjoy doing: Helping businesses attract people to their websites so that they want to come back often to the website’s blog to learn something new. The ultimate goal, of course, is for the reader to become a customer of the website.

Along with providing great content, I’m using SEO, or Search Engine Optimization techniques, to improve links to The Credit Solution Program through Google searches. It’s something I can do for any business.

I’m editing stories and writing a few stories each week. Check out the overall blog for interesting personal finance stories each week.

Here are stories I’ve written so far, with more coming each week:

• Chores that are worth paying someone else to do so you can make more money elsewhere.
• How millionaires don’t expect an election year bounce in the stock market.
• The middle class admits to making major financial mistakes, but still thinks its pretty savvy in making financial decisions.
• Cities hit hard by the recession but with improving credit scores.

I’ve written about how to get your home on HGTV, home flaws worth overlooking, when a home warranty is worth buying, tech upgrades for a home, and retirement options for gay seniors.

I’m always on the lookout for housing story ideas, so please send any interesting ideas my way.
