Writing for SEO: How Feasible Is It to Earn $500 Per Week as an SEO Copywriter?

SEO Writing Jobs Editor — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 23:17:48 +0000

Two weeks ago, I received the following email from an aspiring freelance (SEO) writer. He wrote:

QUESTION FROM AN ASPIRING SEO WRITER

Hi Yuwanda,

I am a 39 year old aspiring freelance writer who is needed at home. How difficult would it be to reach the 500 dollar-per-week threshold with freelance SEO copywriting which would make working from home a reality?

MY ANSWER

This is an easy and a difficult question to answer. It’s easy because all you have to do is read through my sites (InkwellEditorial.com and this site) to find plenty of instances of freelancers who’ve had incredible success as SEO writers – right out of the box.

One of these SEO writing success stories was detailed in what I dubbed “The Story of SEO Mary.” It follows a new SEO writer from her first days to well over a year later.

This is difficult to answer because . . .

SEO Copywriters/Freelance Writers: How to Determine What to Pay Freelancers You Outsource To

SEO Writing Jobs Editor — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 22:52:13 +0000

Publisher Note: This is the third – and final – part of my answer to a fellow SEO writer who sent in a very long query about a week ago. Get caught up by reading Parts I [How to Find Reliable Freelancers to Outsource To (http://bit.ly/aLnkzT)] and II [How to Stop Freelancers You Outsource to from Stealing Your Clients (http://bit.ly/bNrqxP)].

The following is the third question.

QUESTION

I have placed a few craigslist ads in the past looking for some great people (I received an overwhelming response) so I do have some people I’d like to try. When you first went about hiring people to represent your hard work, did you draw up a contract with them? If so, what kind of issues do you feel is a MUST?

Publisher Note: I answered the above two questions in Part II (see the link to the Independent Contractor’s Agreement).

The last question I have is how to decide what kind of pay rate for the people I’d be outsourcing to? I can’t offer the moon & the stars right off the bat & I don’t want to lowball anyone.

MY ANSWER

Today, we’re going to discuss what to pay rate for SEO writers you hire should be. I have to say, I hate to even dip my toe in these waters because freelance writing rates are all over the place and boy, it causes such debate every time the subject comes up, as the following links attest:

Freelance Writers: How to Stop Freelancers You Outsource to From Stealing Your Clients

SEO Writing Jobs Editor — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 23:31:42 +0000

Publisher Note: Today is the day regularly scheduled for posting to InkwellEditorial.com.

But, since I’m addressing a multi-part question sent in from a fellow SEO writer that I started answering on SeoWritingJobs.com last week, today’s post is on this site.

TODAY’S POST

This is the second post in a series of posts which was inspired by a question sent in by a fellow SEO writer. To read her question in its entirety, see this post, which addresses How to Find Reliable Freelance SEO Writers to Outsource To (http://bit.ly/aLnkzT).

QUESTION

Another thing I’d be worried about is having someone ’steal’ clients or working out side deals for extra work (not going thru my business but more of a one-on-one).

MY ANSWER

You don’t have to worry about this, and here’s why . . .

Why You Don’t Have to Worry about Freelance Writers You Outsource to Stealing Your Clients

First, let me say, there are always clients and freelance writers who operate like scum. They will stab you in the back without thinking twice about it.

SEO Copywriters: How to Find Reliable Freelance SEO Writers to Outsource To

SEO Writing Jobs Editor — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 21:04:32 +0000

As I stated in the last post on InkwellEditorial.com where we talked about outsourcing SEO writing jobs, I received a rather long, detailed email from a fellow SEO copywriter. She wrote, in entirety:

Hello. I would like to thank you for all that you offer with your inkwell site. I came across an article from you a couple of months ago & your website is now a daily stop for me. There aren’t any sites that I have followed like yours! (Not stalking~plus you’re in Jamaica, much too far!)

I’ve been freelancing for the last few years & have recently decided to go full steam ahead with my business. [My Take: Good for you!]

(I’m also learning all there is to know about affiliate marketing~I need some kind of steady income. However small it may be at first. Another subject I’ve been soaking up from your site & articles.)

My point in contacting you - I have come to the realization that even when I’m swamped with work there is obviously only so much I can accomplish as an individual. I would like to look into outsourcing my work.

The main concern I have is how to have faith that a person will do the job with flying colors. If I have someone transcribing 5 hours of audio - I would want to go over the document to make sure everything is A+ - it’s my business name on the line after all. Another thing I’d be worried about is having someone ’steal’ clients or working out side deals for extra work (not going thru my business but more of a one-on-one).

I have placed a few craigslist ads in the past looking for some great people (I received an overwhelming response) so I do have some people I’d like to try. When you first went about hiring people to represent your hard work, did you draw up a contract with them? If so, what kind of issues do you feel is a MUST? The last question I have is how to decide what kind of pay rate for the people I’d be outsourcing to? I can’t offer the moon & the stars right off the bat & I don’t want to lowball anyone.

I realize this is long & I truly appreciate you reading my ramblings. If you have any advice or can suggest some articles that may help I would be grateful. I hope you’re staying cool & think you should sell some beach sand on your site! I know I’d buy a bit just to have a piece of paradise. (I spent some time in Jamaica about 20 years ago & there are two things that stand out to this day 1) this crazy ass waterfall where tourists & locals alike climb that sucker & pray they don’t plunge to their death (beautiful but scary) 2) every local had the catch phrase ‘no problem man’. (And I vividly remember hearing ‘Like a Virgin’ from Madonna ~ I was so blown away - I was only 13 at the time so it was totally cool in my mind!)

Enjoy the week & thank you again.

###

As I said, a rather long and involved email – but with some VERY good questions. I bolded the portions that need answering.

I was going to answer this in one newsletter, but it’d be 10,000 words or more, so I’ve decided to break it up and answer one question here over the next few days. Sorry if this is going to throw anyone off, but I don’t have to write a book right now and that’s what one answer would equal – a 10-page ebook.

So, following is the answer to the first question, which is outlined below. Let me preface my answers by saying, all of this is from my point of view based on hiring (and sometimes firing) literally hundreds of freelancers since 1997, which was when I ran Inkwell Editorial (my editorial staffing agency in New York City (1996-2004).

Have Questions about Freelance Writing, SEO Writing, Internet Marketing?

Lately, I’ve been receiving a tsunami of questions about all of the above. This email is typical of what’s been landing in my inbox lately. And, while I’d love to answer each and every one of them as quickly as possible, it’s just not possible for me to do so.

I do EVENTUALLY get to the ones that I think have “universal” appeal; ie, questions that may help a lot of other freelance writers.

My point in telling you this is if you’ve sent in a question and haven’t heard from me, just know that I’ve received it and if it fits my universal criteria guideline, I’ll answer it in the newsletter. Some that are coming up include:

Working internationally, eg, one reader from Poland sent in the following about a week ago:

My problem is that I’d like to get clients from the US, but I am from Poland and I’m completely clueless where I should start in terms of legalities. Do I need any American work permits? Do I have to register in any American labor bureau? Do I need to pay taxes there or just in my country? Does buying writing services from a foreigner entail any financial or legal obstacles for my potential client? Do I need to register a business to be hired remotely for this job? What do I need to start this career?

Another reader sent in the following question just today:

I am writing this letter because, I am stuck. First, I don’t know what the hell I [sic] do. I am a SEO Content Writer, but I know HTML, how to upload videos, create a website and all that techy internet stuff. The more I think about it, I think I am more of a Virtual Assistant than a writer. However, I want to be known for SEO Content Marketing. But, my dilemma is - choosing a niche and wondering if I should market my self as a VA or market myself as A Writer with strong technical skills? You see, I have no problem researching a niche and seeing what they want. My problem is- I get bored.

And there are quite a few more sitting in my inbox that I just haven’t had the time to get to.

BUT . . . I will. Just bear with me.

Readers like you are what make this newsletter so informative for so many. So continue to send in your questions because if you’re wondering about it, 9 times out of 10, many others are as well.

Now, for my American friends, enjoy our Independence Day (4^th of July). I’ll post again next Tuesday.

SEO Writing: Skills SEO Copywriters Should Have Beyond Knowing How to Write SEO Articles

SEO Writing Jobs Editor — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 19:46:17 +0000

A few days ago, I received this question from a recent participant in Inkwell’s SEO writing ecourse. She asked:

SEO Writing Skills Question

Hi Yuwanda,

I hope you are having a great day in Jamaica! Florida is hot as usual. Thank God for air conditioning!

I have quick question I ran into yesterday at a networking luncheon. After I did my introduction, a potential customer asked me if I knew html. I answered, no, I don’t build websites, but I do provide content for your website.

Later, I realized her husband works for IBM, so I am assuming she understands what is SEO. Now, I question what she was referring to and if there is a better way to answer the question without losing her confidence in my ability to provide content.

My Answer

I sent her a quick reply yesterday, but wanted to respond in depth here today.

What the respondent is really asking is NOT about web design skills. They’re really asking . . .

SEO Writing Jobs Editor — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 22:41:11 +0000

The day before yesterday, I received the following email from a new SEO writer:

Make Money ($100-$150/Day) with Free Classified Ad Sites Like Backpage.com, Craigslist, Etc. in Just a Few Hours Per Day

SEO Writing Jobs Editor — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 19:29:08 +0000

Read about this opportunity on backpage.com? Learn more about how I make money on this free classified ad site in only 2-3 hrs per day.

How would you like to consistently make $100-$150/day selling products and services on free classified ad sites like backpage.com?

And the best part — spend only 2-3 hours per day doing it? I do and I’ll tell you exactly how so that you can easily duplicate my success.

I’ve been using backpage since January of 2009. I started using it to sell one affiliate product. Sales were so brisk that I then started to use it to sell my own e-products. Fast forward to 2010: I’ve sold tens of thousands of dollars worth of e-products (my own and others) right here on backpage.

New to Affiliate Marketing

Other than placing a few occasional ads on Craigslist, I’d never promoted products via free classified ads sites.

The only reason I decided to start doing it regularly is because I was starting to market affiliate products. Since I didn’t want to go the paid route (eg, “pay per click ads”) until I had more experience with affiliate marketing, I was looking for free outlets to hone my skills.

Craigslist vs. Backpage

I stopped using Craigslist because the site has too many restrictions and you get flagged for too many things. As a newbie to affiliate marketing, I just didn’t have the time to worry about if my ad was going to be placed or not, or if I was going to get banned for violating some rule I didn’t even know about.

I fell in love with Backpage because the site was easy to use, the ads were placed quickly and as long as you generally adhered to their easy-to-understand guidelines, you didn’t have to worry about getting banned or having your ad removed.

Averaging $100-$150/day Placing Ads on Backpage

Immediately upon placing ads on Backpage for my first affiliate product, I started seeing sales. Since January 2009 (remember that’s well over a year now!), I’ve averaged between $100-$150/day in sales using the site.

I know it could be more, but remember, I’m a busy freelance writer and only devote 2-3 hours per day – on average – to using backpage.

Ready to Get Started?

Learn even more about how I earn $100-$150 per day on backpage. Then, place your order and start making money too!

SEO Writing: Why Writing on the Most Popular Keywords Is Often a Waste of Time

SEO Writing Jobs Editor — Wed, 19 May 2010 19:20:32 +0000

A few days ago, I received the following email from an aspiring SEO writer. She wrote:

After reading your [SEO writing] book, I realized that I need to get some great [SEO] samples under my belt. My last corporate gig was in HR and I have a host of hobbies and interests but I’m stumped on what I could write about let alone a topic I can optimize for.

For example, I’m really interested in healthy living so I used the adwords keyword analyzer tool and typed in “[Noni Juice]” I received a host of “synonyms” that people are using in their searches. Can I choose the highest ranking one and write an article using that key phrase? Is is [sic] that easy?

Note: Keyword has been changed to protect her possible niche.

The answer is, no, it’s not this easy. There are a host of factors that go into selecting which keyword phrases to write on. And, in fact, writing on the most popular keywords phrases is often a waste of time.

The reason is, the more popular a keyword phrase is, the more competition it has. Hence, it’s harder to rank for that phrase. So what should you do?
