SEO Article Writing

Tips SEO for Article Writer:

1) Study and understand search engine optimization basics. I recommend reading Google’s Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide. This is a resource guide that was published for webmasters, but it can help copywriters understand the importance of keywords from an overall perspective- from the back-end of a web page, to the front-end SEO content.
The Google SEO guide can be found at the following web address:

2) Market yourself primarily as an SEO article writer. Don’t focus on other types of writing-present yourself as an SEO writer. Potential clients will view you as an expert. Companies prefer to hire writers that have SEO experience.

3) Write some sample SEO articles for your portfolio. If you don’t already have SEO writing samples, they are easy enough to write. Choose three to five topics that interest you and write articles that are anywhere from 300 to 500 words each using relative keywords. Make sure you understand SEO basics and do your keyword research first.

4) Build a list of possible clients. Start building a job lead list. Check for jobs on copywriter and freelance writer job boards. Do keyword searches for advertising agencies and seo content providers. Make a list of the companies you find and email your resume with samples.

Once you’ve studied the SEO basics and collect some SEO writing samples-you’re ready to get a gig in the hottest freelance writing niche!
