Sometimes in life we stop and start and stop and start. I personally have never been one to stop…. What happened though is I got scared because I have never been without a job. Then I met Val. Val has…shown me a completely different view that I could have never seen. I enjoy working with Val to expand more and more on that view. She has taught me to believe that it is possible. ALL OF IT. Val is a great teacher because it comes from the inside out.

Val Nelson has been a great resource for navigating the confusing world of job hunting. She understands how to harness the power of the often-overwhelming job search websites, and make them work for YOU. She has great tips for expanding your network of contacts, and for hunting down jobs in unexpected places. Highly recommended!

Business Clients
Val worked with me to edit and refine [my website] content to the point where I not only felt very comfortable and ready to put it out up on the site, but also that it so accurately expressed who I am and what I had been trying so hard to say. Now she is helping me to find creative ways to market myself that are also aligned with who I am and what I feel very comfortable doing. I would highly recommend Val for anyone who is working to find the ways to naturally express who they are and what their unique gifts and services are. I’m so thankful that I found Val when I did!

Thanks.

Val worked with me to understand the message and services that we wanted to communicate to our audience and then made highly fruitful suggestions for how to make sure that search engines were getting the point as well as our visitors. No gimmicks; just lasting results. The return on investment is a no brainer.

Val has contributed greatly to our company. She is a master project planner with excellent website skills and was able to update our website, making it more user-friendly and providing for substantially more information to be easily accessed by all of our markets. She has excellent communication and marketing skills, and I highly recommend her for any work involving websites, marketing, promotions, project management, communications, and working with the public.

Since working with her at the same company, I have hired her as a consultant, and will continue to recommend her highly. When I worked with Val, she was the resident expert in the area of search engine optimization, and she has a keen eye for effective copy. She was an excellent resource for information about web marketing, keywords, and how to best meet clients’ website goals. I look forward to working with her again.
—Paula Leahy Welch, Independent Writing and Editing Professional, Washington, DC
I came to Val to help me increase the traffic to my website and ultimately to draw a wide range of participants to my training. I knew that the various groups I hoped to interest used different wording for what they were seeking. Val provided the expertise on how to get the wording and the visuals right, making sure the site was accessible, usable, and interesting. From the moment I met with Val, I was impressed with the professionalism and range of expert advice she offered. She was attentive and easy to work with.
After I implemented Val’s suggested changes, I began noticing a positive difference: My website routinely showed up in the top 3 in Google for my targeted search phrases. Inquiries and enrollments increased. And the site drew a wide range of people. I highly recommend Val and will undoubtedly use her services again.
