1. Dane Cobain
Writing Portfolio
2019

2. Hi, I’m Dane!
I’m a published author, a freelance
writer, a book blogger, a poet and an
(occasional) musician. Nice to meet
you!
I went freelance in the summer of
2017 after working agency-side for six
years as a social media marketer. I
went freelance so I could pursue my
passion — I just love to write, and
freelancing provides me with a way
to monetise it.

3. What I Do
First and foremost, I’m a writer. I have seven
books on the market (and more coming soon),
with an average rating of 7.6/10 from 150+
reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.
Before freelancing, I worked for six years as a
social media marketer and so I have a good
grasp of most digital marketing techniques.
These two interests, combined with my love of
new technologies, led to my three specialisms:
Publishing // Marketing // Technology

4. What I Charge
My 2019 rates are the same as my 2018 rates
and I’m happy to work either with an hourly
rate or per 100 words. Where possible, I prefer
to work with my hourly rate, but I’m flexible.
PER HOUR:
£35 GBP // €40 EUR // $45 USD
PER 100 WORDS:
£4.50 GBP // €5 EUR // $5.50 USD

5. Sample Work
Publishing:
Publishing Addict // Twitter for Authors (Guest Post)
Marketing:
Bant.io // Lead Generation Blogs
Miappi // Eight Examples of Weird UGC
Technology:
Disruptor Daily // Regular Blogs
Other:
Alexander Michael // Boss Guide E-Book
Everhour // Basecamp 3 Ultimate Guide

6. Sample Clients
Emmanuel Fombu MD (right)
Dr. Fombu is a medical futurist,
silicon valley investor and head of
global strategy and innovation at
Johnson and Johnson. I’ve ghost-
written two full length non-fiction
books for him and manage his
marketing.
EuroVPS/GrowthMentor
EuroVPS is a managed hosting
provider and GrowthMentor is a
platform for matching entrepreneurs
with professionals mentors. I write
marketing materials, blog posts,
email campaigns and more.

7. What People Say
“Dane helps us with marketing campaigns, book launches, and
excellent emails that have resulted in long-term engagement with
our mailing list. I highly recommend him as a professional who has
proven to be reliable, intelligent, knowledgeable and talented.”
– Cydney O’Sullivan, 16 Times Bestselling Author
“Dane is a pleasure to work with and I will definitely do so again in
the future. In his role as a ghost writer, he’s very easy going and
contributes positively to discussion. This really helped me to clarify
my thinking, enabling me to focus on the points that I wanted to
make. Subsequently, he did a great job finessing my thoughts whilst
still making it sound ‘authentically me’. ”
– Alex Whitbread, CEO of Alexander Michael

8. Why You Should Hire Me
I’m good at what I do, which is why I’m able to charge what I charge. I’m a firm believer
that you get what you pay for, and I hope you’ll give me a chance to prove it.
I only apply for jobs that I’m passionate about. One of the perks of being a freelancer and
being your own boss is that for every job listing, you’re interviewing the client as much as
the client is interviewing you. If I’ve applied for a job that you’ve posted, it’s because I
genuinely believe I can help.
Plus my co-worker (Biggie) is very demanding and he keeps asking me for treats.
