How to Land More Clients by Making Your SEO Writing Stand Out from Others

Today’s post was inspired by a question sent in from a freelance writer who is just sticking her toes in the waters of SEO writing.

. . . gettin laid off in 2 weeks. It’s crunch time. but w/your [SEO and freelance writing] tips I’m not worried. Thnx 4 your value!

This brings me to today’s post. She wrote:

Thanks again for answering my questions about Content Crooner [I gave her some article marketing advice] and giving me support w/ my recent lay-off.  It’s scary and exciting at the same time.  However, I know if I keep following your steps I will be fine.  

Anyway, the reason why I am writing is because I wanted to know how can I differentiate my writing from others on the web. (emphasis added)  I don’t know if this appeals to other writers as well, but my dilemma is I feel like I am just regurgitating information.  For example, I am in the middle of doing research for an article for one of my clients, and it is about [detoxing].

However, when I do research I get different articles with similar content from different authors.  I am wondering how can I make my article stand out so it won’t be a re-hashed article.  My client seems to love the articles I write for her, however, I feel I can do much better.  But I think I am being too hard on myself, when I send the articles I cringe thinking that she is going to tell me to revise, revise, revise, but that’s far from the case.  She thinks that I am the best researcher in the world and knows her industry well.  Anyway, do you have any tips that you are willing to share to help us” hard on ourselves” writers (emphasis added) out? 

Thanks again!
