The following is a guest post by Amanda DiSilvestro, If you would like to write for this blog, please check out the guidelines here.

First and foremost, you should be writing for your readers. Your content should be centered on your target audience, and your aim should be toward giving advice and adding value to your readers that find your site.

However, many companies write for reasons aside from reader experience; in particular, SEO. For those who are unfamiliar, SEO stands for “search engine optimization” and is a way for search engines to find content and determine where it falls on the search engine pages. The search engines use an algorithm that looks for several different components — duplicate content, keyword stuffing, doorway pages, etc. — and then it ranks the pages according to quality.

Now, every company knows that it is important to show up on search engine pages. Whether you’re starting a small business or are a veteran business owner, this is a great way to drive traffic to your site. For this reason, many companies write specifically for SEO purposes. They do keyword research, write content based on that keyword, and fit in unnatural keywords into an article just so the search engine bots will find the article and deem it “quality.” In some cases, there is nothing wrong with writing for SEO, but there is something wrong for writing only for SEO.

Here’s why:

• Search engines do not like websites that write strictly for SEO. Unfortunately, it can sometimes be hard to catch this, and sites have been getting away with it for some time.
• Readers do not like sites that write strictly for SEO because the content is not catering to their needs.
• Your website will surely never win any awards or special mentions in the online world. Editors and other website owners don’t like when content is written specifically for SEO.
• You will have a bad reputation. Although you may show up on page one of a search engine page, no one will want to stay on your page for more than a few seconds because there is nothing of value.
• You run the risk of getting penalized if the search engines do find out you’ve been writing (or even creating pages) specifically for SEO and not readers.

What many businesses don’t realize is that it is possible to get to the top of search engines if you write for your readers. This will boost your traffic, people will want to link back to your site when writing their own content, and you will eventually find your way to the top of search engine pages. If you think you’re ready to change your ways and start writing for readers instead of bots, consider a few of these changes you’ll need to make:

5 Ways Writing for Readers is Different than Writing for Search Engines

1. You need to write content that will get shared

When you write content for readers, readers will want to share this content via their social networks. This means that when writing, you need to be conscious of what you promise and what assumptions you make. If you’re writing strictly for SEO, you are likely writing in generalities, but writing for your readers is more personal. You cannot say “all of the customers at my last job weren’t nearly as much fun as you” because this could get back to your old customers! You also can’t offer a great deal to some people one week and then a mediocre deal to some the next week. I think you will find that writing in this way really does take a conscious effort.

2. You must be completely open and honest when you have made a mistake

If you’re really going to focus on writing for your readers, you have to acknowledge when something bad has happened with your company. If someone has a complaint, you cannot simply keep quiet about it because that customer won’t keep quiet about it. They will surely put a negative comment on your website and share it on all of their social networks. For this reason, it is important that your content changes as things like this happen. If there is something that needs to be addressed, you will need to address it through the content on your website (mainly because it probably began through content on your website).

3. Variety is important when it comes to content

Generally when a website is only focusing on SEO, they are focused on one or two specific keywords. This can get boring for readers because the general topic of the content is so similar. When you’re writing for readers, you want to make sure you have a variety of different topics on your website. The topics can fall under a general umbrella such as “business,” but each article should be something different about business. Not only that, but it helps to have content written in different forms. For example, you do not want an entire website full of “Top 5 Things” type blogs or a website full of only opinions.

4. The content will not always be about you and your company

While SEO is focused on your company, writing for readers is about being honest. Giving credit where credit is due is a great way to show that you are active in the online community. This will increase your exposure because whomever you are discussing will likely want to pay it forward and do the same for you. Even if they don’t, you have their audience looking at your content because they recognize a name or a blog you are referencing. All in all, this is a great way to connect and seem “real” to your readers.

5. Have a conversational and informal tone

You don’t always have to sound informal when trying to write for your readers, but it can help. Even if your website is very serious and centered around facts, you can offer a conversational tone that will help make things easier to understand. After all, if you’re writing for readers, you want to sound like a reader. If you’re writing for the bots, well then you will sound like a robot.

The following is a guest post by Brendan Cruickshank. If you would like to write for this blog, please check out the writing guidelines here.

I’m amazed at the increasing number of job postings for freelance writers these days. While I’ve noticed this merely as an observer, albeit one who’s been working in job search and recruitment for many years, I thought I’d check to see what researchers are saying. Indeed, the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, a compendium of descriptions of hundreds of jobs types, including information on education requirements, earnings, and job prospects over a 10-year period, agrees that the trend is real.

The official word is that between 2008 and 2018, employment for authors, writers and editors is projected to grow about 8%, about as fast as average. The Handbook says that an increasing number of writers today are freelancers. I bet that now, with the current economic recession, the number of freelancers is going to be even higher than BLS predicts. Budget woes are causing governments, businesses and organizations to tighten their belts, and one good way for them to save money is to contract out their writing needs.

So, you’re a freelance writer and you’re looking for jobs. What do you do? In part, it depends on what kind of writing you do, what the topic(s) are and who your markets – both the employer and the readers – are. These are all questions you’ll need to consider as you develop a marketing strategy for yourself. However, I’ve got some suggestions and strategies to help you, and they’re appropriate for any type of freelance writer

Using LinkedIn

Do you have a LinkedIn profile? If not, you should spend time setting one up for yourself. As soon as you contact a perspective employer for work, it’s more and more likely that they’ll Google you to learn who you are and what you’ve done. LinkedIn profiles almost always come up on the first page (because the site is one of the most popular social networking sites), and it’s to your benefit to be there. Your LinkedIn profile will show that
you’re a professional and that you value communication.

You will need to create a well-written and complete profile, and then start seeking connections. The more people who have access to your LinkedIn page and can track your activity on the site, the more obvious you are. And, if you’re working from home – whether it be in the middle of the desert or on the 28th floor of a Manhattan apartment building – you’re likely alone. You need to find a way to remind people that you exist. Seek out
recommendations from colleagues, engage in group discussions, ask and answer questions, and demonstrate what you know and how well you write.

You can also use LinkedIn to research potential employers. Many companies and organizations have Company pages that identify staff members and their positions. Through your connections, you can gain access to people who may be looking for your writing services. With LinkedIn, you can play the networking game for all its worth!

Self-Branding

If you’ve set up a LinkedIn profile, you’ve already started the personal branding process, but there are additional ways to establish your presence. The first step is to figure out who you are, what you want to do and how you want to appear to others. Chances are you know a lot of this already, but it’s important to consider the image of yourself and your work that will best help you get freelance jobs. Do you want to market yourself as a specialist
in niche market – as an expert in nanotechnology, for instance – or as a generalist who understands science and technology, and who can communicate about latest trends?

Once you’ve determined this, there are an increasing number of tools you can use to project your image and brand. One is the tried and true resume, which you’ll want to spruce up to indicate your interest and experience pertaining to freelance writing. Next, set up a website for yourself, and include a description of who you are, your clients, writing samples, and testimonials about your work. Next, is a blog, which serves your branding
strategy, and more. See below. Finally, become active on a variety of social media websites, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and others. Project yourself so that people will get to know you and remember you.

Face-to-Face Networking

Getting out and talking to people is another of those tried and true methods of getting a job. That’s not to say that there are automatic or direct pay-offs for having coffee with someone, even if you’re the one paying for their Venti Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha with whipped cream. What I mean is that the more you actually meet people in person, and communicate who you are, what you’re like, and what kind of writing you have done and
can do, the deeper the impression you’ll have on them. And, the more likely they’ll think of you when they or their colleagues have freelance writing needs.

Face-to-face conversations are more open, revealing and free form than written communications. They provide participants with opportunities to ask questions and respond directly to answers. And, you’ll also gain valuable non-verbal information from your interviewee. For instance, when querying someone about a potential employer, body language may indicate more than the words spoken. In general, a personal interaction is warmer, more memorable and more informative than a series of emails or phone calls (though, if you and the employer are physically distant, telephone or Skype are good alternatives).

Blogging

Since you’re reading this, you’re aware of the power and outreach of blogs. They’re excellent vehicles for demonstrating your interests and writing style, and bringing attention to your abilities. For a freelance writer, especially one who doesn’t have a lot of published work yet, blogs are an easy way for you to show off your stuff. You’ll need to write well: clearly, concisely and interestingly. That is, you’ll need to be articulate, using
proper grammar and punctuation, and be able to keep your readers’ attention. You want your audience to read all the way to the last word, and to beg you – on hands and knees, if possible – for more.

Finally, the nature of blogging is that you’re creating a continuing conversation – one that the blogger initiates and readers respond to. This means that you need to be diligent and dependable, establishing a publication schedule and keeping to it. In doing this, and in maintaining dialogue with your readers, you demonstrate that you are responsible and communicative, features which employers of freelance writers value as much as the writing itself.

Now go to it, and come back to let us know how it works! Best of luck.

The following is a guest post by Joel Ohman. If you like to guest post on this blog, please contact me.

The person who says that there’s a business that can be started in a day without any real work or planning involved is simply lying, and the person who says freelancing is not a real business but just someone living day to day finding whatever work happens to come along is plain wrong.

Growing any business takes time and effort, and freelancing takes dedicated determination — sometimes even working a regular 40 hour job on top of the freelancing until the freelance work begins to bring into the household a regular, steady paycheck.

That all said, here are 10 freelance jobs that can be started up in a single day without requiring a large upfront investment or causing you to ring up charges like crazy on your business credit card and go into debt:

1. Catering
2. Consultant
3. Delivery Driver
4. Desktop Publishing
5. Event Planning and Promotion
6. Freelance Writing
7. Home Cleaning
8. Telemarketing
9. Tutoring
10. Web Page Design

Each of these freelance positions require little to no equipment, have very low start-up costs and do not necessarily require any special kind of education (additionally, most do not even require any special business licenses or certification as does many types of sales oriented careers like selling auto insurance as an insurance agent or selling real estate as a realtor).

Catering

A lot of people believe catering is all about setting up fancy dinner parties inside hotels or entertainment halls. For the most part, they would be correct; however, there is much more to catering than big wedding parties or corporate sponsored events. Plus, one can start up right out of his or her own kitchen.

Some caterers specifically work for restaurants, providing specialty dishes and desserts. Other caterers work on a smaller level, coming into someone’s personal kitchen, preparing several weeks worth of meals, then freezing the rest for the client to use at a later date.

To work on a larger scale, such as a wedding or graduation party or other event, a caterer can contract with a company that provides catering equipment and supply rentals. Most larger cities have such a service, and the caterer can rent anything from salad forks and tablecloths to candle globes. The caterer does not have to store or maintain any of these supplies, only pass the cost onto the client, set-up and tear down.

Consultant

In today’s tough economic environment where the displaced worker seems to be more of the norm than full-time, regular employment, consulting can become not only a viable option, but a lucrative option. Anyone that has acquired enough experience in one specific field can become a consultant. Flip to the back of any industry trade magazine, and there is a list of consultants for hire.

Of course, advertising in a trade magazine can be an expensive up-front investment, especially for someone just starting out or for someone who has just lost his or her job. Job, Interview, and image specialists (which are consultants themselves) offer the following advice: put aside bad feelings, and approach the company that fired you. More than likely, the company did not want to do the firing or the laying off in the first place, but the budget had to be cut somewhere, and now they are left short-handed.

Delivery Driver

Small companies are popping up all over the country’s metropolitan areas offering delivery services. These delivery services handle everything from medical supplies to hospitals and nursing homes to hamburgers and milkshakes to local households.

Interestingly though, these delivery companies normally do not have employees; instead, they contract out with people to do the deliveries. All one requires to get involved in such a freelance job is a vehicle and a clean driving record, and depending upon how the delivery service is set-up, the driver can contract with various companies.

Desktop Publishing

Desktop Publishing does require at least the availability of a computer. Software requirements include software applications such as:

• Adobe’s InDesign
• Microsoft’s Publisher
• Quark Express
• PageMaker

However, these commercial-grade desktop publishing software solutions can cost a hefty penny—Adobe’s InDesign, for example, costs nine hundred dollars. Freeware is not a bad option to get started with. Several excellent programs are available for desktop publishing experts. Here are a few:

• Scribus
• Serif PagePlus Starter Edition
• OpenOffice
• Avery DesignPro
• GIMP
• Inkscape

Some of the different products a desktop publisher can put together and design are:

• Newsletters
• Flyers
• Banners
• Posters
• Business cards
• Invoice and purchase order designs
• Print media kits and news briefs
• Professional letterhead

Event Planning and Promotion

Event planning and promotion is sometimes confused with catering, but the majority of event planners actually contract with caterers to provide the food needs of their clients.

An event planner and promoter coordinates and advertises an event. An event planner can provide theses services to many different and varied clients. The most common clientele is the up and coming music band.

A band schedules a gig at a local bar, but they want to turn this into more of a party or public relations effort as opposed to just a gig at a local bar. The band then hires the event planner and promoter to turn a simple gig into the must attend event of the season.

The second most common event a planner and promoter will coordinate is a wedding. Other possibilities include:

• Corporate team building events
• Anniversary parties
• Class reunions
• Gala openings
• New Business Opening Celebrations

Freelance Writing

For the general public not involved in freelance work, the most common or well known freelance job would be that of a writer. People tend to picture a brooking author hunched over a desk or sipping coffee at the local coffee shop, alone and enjoying the solitude.

This is far from the truth.

The freelance writer is heavily involved with people – editors, clients, newspaper and magazine publishers, just to name a few.

Some of the possible jobs for a freelance writer include:

• Newspaper sports stringer
• Magazine author
• Short story author
• Creating online content
• Brochure content
• Greeting card content

One does not need a degree, experience or a computer to get started freelance writing. He or she just needs to be a good writer. For Internet work, a library computer can easily be utilized.

Of course, experience is a plus, but this can be easily aquired through online based writing sites such as textbroker.com or Demand Media Studios.

Home Cleaning

Home cleaning can be an interesting line of freelance work. People who don’t want to clean or don’t have the time to clean will hire the cleaner to come into the house either while they are present or sometimes when they are not present.

A home cleaning freelancer will do everything from the laundry and dishes to dusting and sweeping. The home cleaner may also branch out to office cleaning as well.

Telemarketing

In the past, telemarketing jobs involved going to a call center office to make the phone calls. A lot of companies still operate in this traditional method of telemarketing. However, with today’s advanced technology, the possibility of telemarketing from home is a real and valid way of making money (and usually means that you do not even need to purchase business insurance as your home insurance policy may cover you already).

A lot of home-based telemarketing companies are a scam though (not all), asking for a considerable upfront investment of money and/or equipment.

Tutoring

For the most part, a tutor does need at minimum a bachelor’s degree in the field of study he or she will be teaching. Some cases may not require the degree — such as a parent looking to tutor his or her child in math may opt for a current college student majoring in math.

Or a college student can contract with the university he or she is attending to tutor other college students. Normally, in this situation, the tutor must have passed with high grades in the specific class he or she is tutoring for.

Tutoring is a business one can start pretty much immediately if one does possess the degree.

Web Page Design

Web page design is completely different from web programming. One does need to have a basic understanding of HTML, which is pretty easy to grasp, but the designer does not need to understand CSS sheets, java, C++ or PHP scripts.

The web page designer does need to have an excellent working knowledge of a graphics program such as PhotoShop (the industry standard) or its freeware equivalent Paint.NET.

The designer puts together the web site’s artwork design concept, then forwards this information off to the programmer who tears apart the artwork and design and turns it into functional programming for the Web.

Finding Clients

Though no entrepreneurially spirited venture can be totally and successfully started in a single day, this list of 10 freelance jobs that you can start today, come pretty close.

One still needs clients though.

Clients can be found through services such as Craigslist, Freelancer.com, posting your own website, or approaching your friends and family.

This summer is going by so quickly… too quickly. July was a crazy month for me, mainly due to the fact that my fiance broke up with me. That was tough emotionally and physically. It took a while to get over the fact and finally move on. I knew that if I didn’t… my professional life would suffer dramatically, and I didn’t want that.

I’m back on track with some exciting new things going on. I’ll update you on them later on. For now…. let’s take a look at the blog posts from last month…

Thanks for being a reader here, and I’ll see ya soon.

June proved to be a very busy month, albeit bringing in the highest recorded monthly income yet. Income from Angela’s Backlinks, Yarie, and the newest CPA added to my site, AdFish, have all seen record highs. I was very pleased with how things turned out, and July so far is following a similar path. Here’s my total online income from last month…

Income from ReplaceYourSalary.com

• ClickBank: $31.85
• PayDotCom – $56.34
• Angela’s Backlinks: $45
• Paul’s Backlinks: $12
• Yarie: $96.88
• Google Adsense: $29.92
• SFI: $11.99
• Project Payday: $4.50 (commissions earned from promoting the program, not actually using it)
• AdFish – $60
• ResponsiveData – $15
• Banner Ad – $40

Total = $403.48

Income from Internet Marketing Services

Total = $160

Income from Proofreading/Re-writing/Editing Services

As I said previously, I’ve gotten a decent amount of freelancing work last month. It’s great to be able to provide a high quality and much needed service, and it’s been an honor serving my clients. You can learn more by visiting the link below.

Income from Re-writing Service via David Hurley’s PLR Article Service Membership

It has been an honor to be able to partner with David, a good online friend of mine, and provide the re-writing portion of his article membership. To learn more about his PLR article service, visit the link above.

Total online income from all sources…

$660.98

Spending your precious time on your blog should be compensated in some way, right? I mean, why put forth all of that effort if no one cares to read what you have to say and just leaves right away?

Notice in the title I used “visitors” and not readers. You first have to convince your blog visitors to stay awhile and actually read your blog before you can call them readers. Makes sense… I hope.

Getting people to stick around and become a reader, which in turn provides comments on your posts, involves a few factors. These factors can include your blog design, the content (what you write) and the style of your writing.

This certainly isn’t the all-inclusive list to go by, but these are some of the main factors you may want to consider if you just can’t seem to get anyone to take notice of your hard work.

I wrote a guest post on HowToSpoter about 3 Tips to a Better Blog where I go more in-depth regarding these three factors and what you can do to turn that sucky blog of yours into a masterpiece worthy of readers.

Be sure to read the post and comment. You’ll see me over there as well replying back.

What have I done to improve this blog?

One of the major updates I made to this blog was installing a new blog theme. Granted, I didn’t think my blog sucked (hopefully not), but it certainly was due for a face-lift, I thought. The new FlexSqueeze Theme is definitely way more modern than what I used to have and allowed me to customize every aspect of the design.

The content on here I think is pretty good, but I’d love to hear what you have to say about. I try to be as personable as possible and provide a relaxed reading environment, something I hope you all enjoy. Of course, there’s always something to learn here, so let me know if I need to clarify/expand on anything. Afterall, I try to write for you, my readers.

I promised I would update you all on what my new online endeavor was, so here you go!

In my previous post about David Hurley’s Internet Marketing Article Writing Service, you may have noticed I mentioned that David is an online friend of mine. There is also good reason why I talked about David’s service and am endorsing it.

Not only does David offer a better PLR article service than most other services, but he also offers an additional service as well. David provides an upgraded membership to his article writing service where members can receive rewritten, unique articles each month.

These articles are unique to the articles that regular members receive, thus making them even more valuable. As an upgraded member, you will receive 10 unique PLR articles each and every month for as long as you’re subscribed to the service.

Now, this is where I come in.

As David and I work side-by-side in various online communities, we are familiar with each others talents, services, etc. David runs quite a few websites, as well as handling a lot of offline obligations. Due to this , he needed to find a way to ease his workload.

A couple of months ago David contacted me about possibly doing some work for him. I gave him some prices and discussed the terms of what all would be involved. At the time David decided to continue handling everything himself.

Not long ago I was contacted again, this time getting full confirmation that David wanted to turn over the re-writing part of his article writing service over to me.

This would result in an increase in my workload, but it would also increase my monthly income. Since David already had a few clients that required re-written articles, he needed to be able to get the articles to them in a timely manner. Seeing this as a mutual benefit for both of us, I gladly accepted the offer.

Why did David pick me to head up the service? Well for one, I’m a proofreader and have the credentials and experience to perform the tasks that David was looking for. I’m very honored to be a part of what David is doing for the internet marketing community and look forward to our long-lasting partnership.

When you join his internet marketing articles service, be sure to check out the upgraded membership benefits to get the details. You’ll also be able to read more about me and the re-writing service that I’ll be providing for his PLR articles.

Even if you decide not to upgrade, you’ll still receive 10 articles every month that are limited to a maximum of 100 members. The reason for this is so there’s not a lot of saturation in the market, and this avoids having 100′s, if not more, of the same articles all over the web.

Being a basic member is still very beneficial if you don’t have the time to write your own articles, so I urge you to check out David’s article PLR service and see if it’s right for you.

Writing top quality articles is very time consuming. You may have an idea of what you want to write about, but when it comes to actually writing the articles, it just takes time. You may be asking why you would even have a need to write articles, and the answer is very simple. Articles help you grow your online business.

Articles allow you the advantage of getting your name, business and message in front of thousands of readers and seen as an expert… all for FREE. For internet marketers and online business owners who have multiple tasks to complete every day, writing can be a chore.

Introducing…  David Hurley, expert internet marketer, English professional and article writer. David is the owner of Grasp-The-Nettle.com and provides an article writing PLR service for internet marketers. His articles are internet marketing and online business related.

What sets David’s service apart from other PLR services is this:

• High quality, relevant and useful articles – NOT the usual run-of-the-mill, thrown together stuff
• Free from grammar, spelling and syntax errors commonly found in other PLR article packages
• Limited membership – Articles exclusively available to only 100 members
• Reasonably priced

David’s service provides you with 10 internet marketing related articles each and every month to use for your own use. Why spend countless hours writing your own articles, when you can have David save you the trouble?

I’m a personal friend of David’s and have worked side by side with him for several years through various forums and internet marketing communities. I have been impressed with his professionalism and all the work that he does with his various online businesses. I can assure you that anything David does is top notch!

To learn more about David’s article writing service and his risk-free guarantee, check out his Article PLR Service. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
