WCP190 Archives XVII: Sorting and archiving freelance articles

Whether your articles are published online or in print, you need to make them readily available for potential clients to read online. Simply having a list of links isn’t sufficient. Sites reorganize and your links go bad; your piece gets pulled or the publication closes; and paywalls prohibit access. Clips that look great on paper need different treatment. In this episode, we look at practical tools that solve how to archive freelance articles published online and how to create digital copies of paper clips. 🔗 Mentioned in this episode:  Modern Journalist Toolkit 14: Saving and organizing clips Watch the “Saving clips demo” video to see how I use Nimbus.
