SEO Copywriting: What Exactly Does SEO Copy Look and Read Like?

Yesterday, I received the following question from an InkwellEditorial.com reader. I receive variations of this question from time to time, so here’s the answer.

Question:

I am about to buy your [SEO Copywriting] e-book, How to Make $250+/Day Writing Simple, 500-Word Articles, but wanted to see what actual SEO content looked like.

I am about to leave my Full-time job to go into freelance writing in November (emphasis added)– I used to be a Journalist at a daily newspaper — and am leaving my current career to start writing again. I kept on coming across SEO Copywriting positions, and I did not know what it meant (I still do not really grasp the entire concept).

Well, after some research I was brought to your Web site. I am very impressed, but I still have not seen any actual SEO content. I’m sure it’s something I read on a daily basis, but could you point me to something very obvious so I know exactly what SEO looks and reads like? Thanks so much, and I look forward to reading your e-book.

Good luck if you decide to pursue this career.
