Why Work With Me?

I’m Annabel Candy a travel writer, blogger and speaker based in Queensland, Australia.

With an MA in Design for Interactive Media and 16 years experience, I’m not only a highly qualified and experienced social media consultant, speaker and Internet marketing professional, but actively and successfully involved in social media.

While some social media experts build up thousands of followers on Twitter by following people at random so they get followed back I’m followed by 30 times more people than I follow ~ an indication of the influence, relevance and value I provide.

I have over 20,o0o readers per month and 2,000 subscribers to my blog. I lead an active and engaged community of readers.

I have a proven track record of social media success and am proud of the strong, loyal readership I’ve amassed here and at Successful Blogging because I know my topics inside out, love them and give sound, actionable, jargon-free advice.

I help other people win business online because that’s what I’ve been doing since 1997 and I love teaching people how to make their business succeed online.

I’m passionate about social media and social media marketing because it unites four of my key interests: web design, business, writing and people. My first 18 months of blogging alone brought many opportunities:

My blog was widely mentioned in print and online media.
My writing was featured on some of the biggest blogs on the Internet.
My blog posts were syndicated by BlogHer and the Daily Brainstorm.
I was invited to attend a social media conference in Shanghai by Coca-Cola.
I gained new clients and business partners from around the world.
I’ve earned money from my blog both actively, because people used my services, and passively, because I recommend select products that will help my readers.
I’ve proved that even non-technical people can succeed in social media.

I’ve worked hard to build a strong reputation and wide influence and am happy to share my expertise with other people because I want everyone to experience the opportunities social media has brought me.

I am the author of Successful Blogging in 12 Simple Steps.

Travel Writer

I have a lifelong passion for travel having lived in eight countries and visited about 40 countries.

I have a background in journalism and started travel writing here on my own blog where my stories built up a strong, loyal and engaged readership.

My travel writing has been featured in print in Escape and I was recently hired as the Health and Wellbeing writer for Sunshine Coast Destination Limited’s new blog.
