Your age doesn't matter, your educational background doesn't matter, your experience doesn't matter. Proof? Students, stay-at-home moms and laid off workers have told me how well the plan discussed here worked for them. Read their heartfelt testimonials below. From the Desk of Freelance Writer Yuwanda Black
Are you looking for work right now? Do you want an easy way to make money from home that is real -- no bull, no fluff, just the facts, please? Then do I have a real career opportunity for you! After learning the details, you can literally be bringing in clients within 24 hours. Read on for how and why.
Everything You Read Here is From My Own Personal Experience -- Backed Up by Testimonials from Others
I'm not guessing, I'm giving you actual facts -- and others have had the same results. I've been a freelance writer since 1993 (read more on my background below) -- and I've never made such easy money as this type of writing. Hold on to your seat because if you've always wanted to work as a freelance writer, this is the opportunity of a lifetime. The more you read, the more excited you'll be to start.
$1,000 - $2,000 PER WEEK IS VERY POSSIBLE!
What if I told you that you could easily be making $1,000 to $2,000/week? You probably wouldn't believe me, and I wouldn't blame you. But, unlike other types of freelance writing which tends to be very competitive, this type of writing has several things going for it that makes it so popular and easy to get.
Finally, A Real Way to Make Money as a Freelance Writer
What is this type of writing? SEO article writing. And, I've been doing it since the fall of 2007. Within a couple of months, I had other writers under me. These days I routinely bill $200-$500/day -- sometimes more. And these are normal, run-of-the-mill weeks.
You've Probably Already Seen Jobs Ads for This Type of Writing But Didn't Realize It Paid So Well
What is SEO article writing? Have you seen job ads that read something like:
Sample Job Ad: I am looking for a talented individual that can generate between 10 and 20 articles per day that meet the listed requirements. Articles should be at least 450 words; or
Sample Job Ad: Need a freelancer who can write three 500 words articles everyday. Writer should be proficient with U..S English; articles will cover different topics. We'll provide keywords and topic; or
Sample Job Ad: Need articles for a fashion blog. Five 350-400 word posts a week. You can write on any topic you want as long as the keyword phrases we provide are included; or
Sample Job Ad: Do you know babies? Need weekly articles for new mom website. Each article should be 400-500 words. Sometimes we'll provide the topic; other times you'll be free to write what you want. Looking for one freelancer we can work with on an ongoing basis.
These are all SEO article writing jobs. The articles tend to be short, sweet and easy to write. And, you can charge $25-$50 per article or more. More about pricing later. Imagine writing 5-10 of these a day. As you can see, it's easy to make $100-$500/day. It really is that simple.
Now, let me explain why this particular type of writing -- SEO ARTICLE WRITING -- is so popular and easy to get.
What is SEO Article Writing?
First, SEO is an acronym for Search Engine Optimization. SEO content (aka SEO articles, SEO web copy, SEO writing) is copy that is written specifically to drive traffic to a website and/or blog. This is accomplished using "keyword phrases" (explained below). Following is an example for illustrative purposes.
SEO Article Example
Pretend that you wanted to have an old oil painting restored. To find an art restorer, you would probably go to the internet and type in phrases like "art restorer", "art restoration", and/or "restoration of art". These are keyword phrases.
If you were the owner of this type of business, you would write or hire an SEO article writer to write articles with these keyword phrases. SEO articles tend to be short -- 300-500 words. They can be longer (they are rarely shorter than this), but this is the average length.
In order to get keyword density* of between 3-5% (the standard industry preference), you would repeat a specific keyword phrase 5-10 times in a 350-500 word article. This will start to get a site ranking well (ie, high in search results) for those particular phrases.
Hence, when surfers type in a specific keyword phrase, your site will be one of the first ones to pop up.
Remember, surfers use keyword phrases to find products and services online. Hence, website owners want articles on their site with keyword phrases particular to their industry. If a website owner has a site full of good SEO articles, web surfers will be more likely to find their site online -- and order from them.
*Keyword Density: This just refers to how many times you repeat a keyword phrase(s) in an article. For example, if your keyword phrase is "art restoration" and you write a 500-word article, you would repeat the phrase at least 10 times in the article to get 5% density.
WHY SEO ARTICLE WRITERS ARE SO IN DEMAND -- AND WILL REMAIN SO FOR YEARS TO COME
Websites and blogs need a lot of SEO content (ie, articles and blog posts) because each article or post only uses one or two keyword phrases -- at the most. But, as web surfers use different keyword phrases to search, they need lots of different articles with lots of different keyword phrases.
This means continuous work for SEO article writers. Proof?
Internet Marketing: The Explosion of Online Advertising
Professional SEO copywriters (aka article writers, web content providers, etc.) will be in great demand for years to come, if the following is anything to go by:
BtoB Magazine's "2012 Outlook Survey" showed that online advertising is poised to see significant growth in 2012. How significant? 74% of B2B marketers planned to increase their online ad spending in 2012 from the previous year. This was the largest increase compared to staging events, and using print and direct mail.
The magazine cited social media, mobile marketing and content marketing as the top three B2B Marketing trends in 2012. SEO writers provide content in all of these areas, which means there is a plethora of work across various means.
THE BOTTOM LINE: I've been doing SEO writing since 2007, and my SEO writing company is busier than ever. That's because 95% of firms are JUST starting to invest heavily in search engine optimized content, and engagge in things vidoe marketing, social media and mobile marketing.
But, all of this starts with content -- and it's why SEO writing is a high-paying, recession-proof career. And the sooner you start, the sooner you can start earning money in this exciting niche of freelance writing. Most new SEO writers who follow the system I outline get work within a few weeks; usually, it's much less than that.
$800 in Work in Just 2 Weeks
One newbie wrote in the comments section of the 2/2/2012 section of the SeoWritingJobs.com post, An SEO Writer Has Her First $1,000 Day with $10,000 More in Work Already Lined Up -- Here's How She Did It ...
As of yesterday (2/2/2012), I have been in business for two weeks and have five clients and have been paid and / or contracted for over $800 worth of work. It's funny my fears tend to be half, "This will never work for me. I'll never make any money," and "I'm going to get too much business too quickly and get overwhelmed."

Companies are Pouring More Money into Online Advertising Than Ever Before -- This Means Tons of Work for SEO Writers
2012 is expected to be the year that marketers spend more on online advertising than print. This would be the first year that online marketing spend is greater than print advertising, such as magazines and newspapers.
According to a recent study from eMarketer, an internet marketing and research firm, online advertising is expected to generate $39.5 billion in sales this year (a 23.3% increase from 2011), while spend on print is expected to reach only $33.8 billion. Research projects online ad revenues to continue growing and is expected to reach $62 billion by 2016. [Source: 2012 Marketing Spending Will Be Higher For Online Ads Than Print, Business2Community.com]
With this kind of money pouring into online advertising, internet marketers are going to rely on SEO copywriters who really understand the intricacies of writing for the web (eg, SEO articles). A relatively new niche, it is a rapidly expanding, well-paying profession.
Why You'll Have Very Little Competition in This Niche
Very few freelance writers understand this new medium (this "SEO writing thing"). Hence, you'll have much less competition than other types of freelance writing.
Most freelance writers enter the market and are astounded by how hard it is to get work. That's because they are all competing for the same types of jobs -- eg, magazines, newspapers, popular blogs, etc.
Let them have it!
Focus on lucrative niches like SEO writing. Many freelance writers have no idea what it is. If you do -- you'll start landing jobs almost as soon as you start marketing. I did! And others who've followed my plan have as well, as their testimonials below prove.
$600 -- And The Day Just Started!
These are actual job orders that came in within a 24-hour period. And, it's very typical of a day in the life of a busy SEO article writer who follows my plan. In this profession -- with the techniques I share with you -- you tend to get extremely busy in a relatively short period of time.
If you were charging $25 per article, which is what I charged when I first started, that's $600 in orders from the client emails listed above. Now, I charge $35-$100 per article. And, these are just emails from two clients! (In the examples listed, one client sent in a double order). FYI, this will happen a lot with clients -- they'll usually place multiple orders in any given week.
Imagine having 10, 15 or 20 clients -- a client load most SEO article writers carry. You'll soon be outsourcing work to other freelance writers -- which is what I do now.
START BRINGING IN CLIENTS IN LESS THAN 1 WEEK -- REALLY!
In this ebook, I detail how I went from 0 clients to 4 paid projects in less than one week writing SEO articles -- at $25 per 500-word article. I now charge $35-$100 or more for 350-500 word articles.
FYI, these articles take me 20-45 minutes to write, translating into a salary of $40-$75/hour. Did you know that on the low end of $40/hour, that equates to an annual salary of over 70K/year ($40/hour x 35 hours/week x 52 weeks/year)?
And, I'm not the only one who has experienced this kind of success. Below are actual testimonials of others who have experienced the same kind of results when they read this ebook and implemented the plan I outline. And, they've done it in the same amount of time it took me. One is a college student who landed 4 clients just a few days after buying the ebook -- and went on to quit his job waiting tables soon thereafter.
If you want to start making $100, $200 or more per day as a freelance writer -- pretty easily -- this ebook is for you.
FYI, while I was writing this page, I clicked over to refresh my inbox and the client I landed during my first week of marketing had just sent me 10 more articles -- which I completed in 5 hours or less -- for a grand total of $250. This is from one client. At the time, I had three more clients in the pipeline who wanted me to start on projects.
As you can see, SEO writing is very lucrative -- and it's relatively easy to get -- if you know how to market for it. In this ebook, I detail exactly how I get clients and why, after being a freelance writer since 1993, it is now my most lucrative niche.
Why the SEO Writing Field is Wide Open!
SEO writing is a new type of writing -- and it's going to be hot for a long time to come. Getting your foot in the door with clients is easy, and will guarantee a way to work from home for a long time to come. Why/how?
Because once clients use you, they'll rarely jump ship to another writer. As long as you continue to turn in quality work at a rate they can afford, you'll soon find yourself with more work than you can handle. In fact, when I was researching this field, I found that many SEO writers stopped accepting new clients because they couldn't handle the workload from existing clients; many outsource the work they get from clients.
GET AN EXACT ROADMAP TO WORK-AT-HOME, FREELANCE WRITING SUCCESS
Marketing Letter: I'll send you the exact marketing letter I sent out that garnered me a 25% response rate.
Website: I'll tell you exactly what to put on your web page to make it bring in new clients 24/7.
Create a Niche: I'll tell you exactly how to sell yourself to clients via niche marketing.
Writing Samples: Don't have any? It's okay. I'll tell you exactly what to do to get around this -- bringing in as much work as someone who has tons of samples.
How to Market for Clients: I'll reveal to you the exact methods I use to find clients. It's free, quick and easy.
Writing the Articles: I'll tell you exactly how to actually write SEO articles. And, I'll give you the tricks I use to turn them out on subjects I don't even know about in 30-45 minutes.
Interacting with Clients: I'll tell you exactly what to expect when a client contacts you, how to be knowledgeable (even though you're just starting out), and how to give them what they want so they use you over and over again.
And More! I'll also go over billing, what to charge, how to charge, tools you'll need to get started (if you have a computer, you're practically there already) and much more.
I'll also show you actual correspondence from clients sent in response to the marketing queries I sent out -- and how I responded to them. You'll have all the tools you need to start making money as an SEO copywriter almost immediately.
TYPES OF SEO ARTICLE WRITING JOBS
There is great variety in SEO writing. However, most SEO writing jobs will fall in the following two categories.
Writing articles for websites: This will be the bulk of the work you will get. I've written articles on everything from bridal wear to weight loss to art appraisals. Most are 350-500 words and take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to write.
The more experience you get as an SEO writer, the faster you will be able to complete an article. This means you make even more money. Even doing two more articles per day is equivalent to an extra $250 week if you're charging $25/article and work five days a week. That's an extra $1,000/month -- better than most part-time jobs! Who couldn't use that?
Writing articles for blogs: These can be anywhere from 150-350 words long and take as little as 15 minutes to bang out -- if you're familiar with the subject matter. I've done as many as nine of these in less than 2 hours. Even giving this particular client a break at $15 per blog post (because he orders in bulk), that's $135 for less than two hours of work.
That's how crazy easy it is to make money as an SEO writer. And, it's so easy because clients want content written by writers who understand SEO. Remember, very few freelance writers do. So, when clients run across writers who do understand SEO writing, they're more than willing to pay them well.
Make $125 Per Day (And That's a VERY Conservative Estimate) As an SEO Article Writer
If you know how to surf the web and find information, blog posts and SEO articles are easy to write. I've done as many as 18 articles in a single day. Most days, I write 5-7 (this is by choice!). At $35-$100 an article, I make a pretty nice living. If you start out charging what I did ($25/per 400-500 word article), at only five articles a day, that's $125/day ($625/week). Not bad for 4-6 hours of work per day.
If that's all you ever aspired to, you can make a really nice living -- and have a life.
Sound to good to be true? In the ebook, there is an in-depth case study of a freelancer who had been trying to start a freelance writing career for years. Within a week, she had landed her first client -- and within a month she was turning down work because her business was growing too fast.
I dubbed this freelancer "SEO Mary," because she let us follow her from the time she started marketing to the time she landed her first client -- and several more beyond that. It's a five-part series that will have you learning -- and laughing -- at the same time. SEO Mary has a special needs child at home, a day job she's thinking about leaving and a husband who works a seasonal job. If she can do it, you can too.

About the Small Biz Owner's Complete Marketing Kit!
Would you like to increase sales and generate leads -- today? No matter what type of product/service you offer, you must market to be a success. Consistent marketing is the key to increasing sales and this e-book will put you two to three years ahead of the competition in marketing your business. Read on for how and why.
Marketing is the lifeblood of any business simply because people have to know you exist before they buy from you.
The marketing methods discussed are specifically for small business owners who want to learn how to create sustained growth and generate steady sales on a shoe-string budget. All of the methods are proven and don't require massive amounts of time.
LEARN TO EMBRACE MARKETING
If you are serious about succeeding at entrepreneurship in any form, then you must embrace marketing. Most small business owners have a great product/service, a lot of ambition and plenty of knowledge about servicing their customers. But, they have little or no knowledge of marketing.
MARKETING SUCCESS BY THE NUMBERS
What is it? It's a process whereby you do the same thing on a consistent basis over a period of time. This system will lessen your workload, increase your sales, generate new leads and save you money. Instead of putting together the dreaded "marketing campaign" on major holidays or for special events, you will be marketing all year long.
The best thing about marketing success by the numbers is that it gives you a workable plan to stay on solid footing. That way, you don't have to market in panic mode, eg, "If this campaign doesn't work, then I might have to close shop."
When you start marketing on a consistent basis, you are constantly drawing new customers into your fold. So, the ups and downs of the economy will have less of an effect on your business.
DON'T ADVERTISE, MARKET
What's the difference? Advertising usually refers to paid ads, spots, campaigns, etc. Marketing is all of the ways you get the word out about your business -- paid or unpaid. Handing out flyers is marketing. Placing a classified ad in the newspaper is advertising.
Marketing success by the numbers includes paid and unpaid advertising. But, the paid methods are low-cost and you will be able to implement them immediately. All of the marketing ideas discussed are either free or cost less than $200. Some are $10/month.
Most small businesses market out of a sense of hopeful desperation, ie, sales are slow, so let's "advertise." You put all of your eggs in one basket and it almost never works out the way you hope. This, "shotgun marketing" -- rarely, if ever, works. You need a consistent plan.
GENERATE CONSISTENT SALES AND NEW LEADS
Which would you rather do: send out 1,000 emails at once, or send out 10 a day, every day? Consistency and time are all you need as far as marketing to grow a business. It doesn't matter what your business is, if you market consistently over a period of time, your business will grow!
Did you know that getting rich is simple? Not easy, simple. The same goes for losing weight, getting into shape, becoming a better, writer, runner, speaker, teacher, etc. Practice and time -- that's all it takes to become a better "whatever."
The problem most small business owners have is impatience and sheer frustration that the business "was just not working." Rarely is that the case. The truth is, you probably haven't prepared for the long haul.
Remember, in business, the first few years, you are usually just greasing the pipes. After that, you shouldn't have to work so hard for every sale.
Look at it this way, just because you send out 5,000 emails does not mean that customers are going to start banging on your door. Especially when you consider that most buyers have to see your message 7 to 28 times (depending on which source you read) before they will act. It's called building name [brand] recognition -- and equally as important, trust.
After this, you have to wait until your customer has a need/desire for your product or service. Then, you have to be in the right price range.
In essence, you have to wait for all of these factors to align before a sale can take place. Seems like a long time? It's really not.
CREATE A MARKETING PLAN THAT SAVES YOU TIME, MONEY & EFFORT
If you don't absorb anything else, remember this: marketing is the life-blood of every business.
That's why marketing success by the numbers is such a necessary, viable, common-sense approach to marketing. It's easy, low-cost and practically runs itself.
When you create a schedule, which the book outlines how to do, your marketing goes on auto pilot, leaving you more time to fiddle with why you opened your doors in the first place -- to dazzle your customers with your wonderful product/service.
No more stressing about when to do this, how much that will cost, whom to call to get that done, et cetera. You will be able to work this plan yourself, or outsource it to someone else. The bottom line is, you won't ever have to worry about marketing again.
THERE IS A MARKET FOR EVERYTHING
Think of all the products you are bombarded with on a daily basis. How do you explain purses that have a waiting list of two years to purchase; $1,500 boots that you can't tell from $50 boots; and sweat suits that cost $400? Brilliant, consistent marketing!
