Hi Lincon,
I'm also new to the community. I can second Laura's suggestion for checking out the marketing section. I've been clicking through it all morning and it is full of good useful stuff.
I have freelanced before with limited success but that was a good few years ago. I've got back into it this year and decided to specialise in SEO Copywriting (I did this a bit previously but my word has the SEO world changed), so the information and content on this site is gratefully consumed.
