The Job Outlook for SEO Writers

Jacob Malewitz
There is in the SEO a new, prominent way to make money online. It's a job opportunity-a work from home job opportunity-which I've taken a big interest in lately. Why? Long story short, I'm taking a class on business writing, and read some articles on how big the market for SEO writing is. Some SEO writers are pulling in upwards of $750 a page! Some twice that!

Not so fast. That is a long road, one that likely takes years of learning, but add enough big sales together and you will see why so many copywriters are making this a career. A career?

Yes. A work from home career, the best way for writers to make money online.

An SEO hero? That's not me yet. I am just breaking into the market, but I'm not a beginner. I've been writing paid SEO content for a year, only a few months ago realizing just that was while working with a firm.

If I can do it, If I can earn money online, working from home working short hours and still having time for friends and family, I am certain just about anyone who can write clear English and learn can too.

Don't think it's you? Do you just like to write fiction?

Why not have more time to write fiction? I currently put together plenty of fiction stories, all in the hope of someday reaching a career. But, to pay the bills in the meantime I write articles and SEO web copy. I'm not making enough to buy a few cars, but my bills are paid, I'm writing some interesting pieces and researching cool topics ... and I still have time to slave away at the latest novel or short story.

It happens.

It gets better.

So where do you go for all this SEO stuff? I recommend checking out American Writers and Artists Institute website, AWAIOnline.com. That's by the way, the proof you may be needing that this isn't just a "too good to be true work from home scam." I am not selling anything. I inform in my articles, sell in my copy.

Back to the point: here are the basics.

BASICS:

SEO content is just a few keywords put together around a piece of content. That's simple. If you've published articles anywhere, good. If you know what a keyword phrase is, better. If you don't, it's time to find out. This is truly a beginner's writing market, where even basic high school English with some added emotion and emphasis could lead you to sales. Why?

India:

India is not only taking over many customer support jobs, but also have a growing market of SEO firms. I'm not attempting to judge them: this is a free market. However, many of these sites pander to English sites while not exactly having clear English writing skills themselves. There is a huge need for working writers who can write and edit basic English. The English language, actually, isn't simple at all.

So my SEO hero, and I will call you that now, there is more to this game. But let's wait for the next installment. Is this a column? I drank lots of coffee today, so maybe, maybe not.

  • SEO writing is just one tool, and you can keep writing other kinds, like fiction.
  • SEO writing is one of the fastest growing job fields online
India is taking on many SEO jobs, but often the writers there cannot write English well. This means SEO jobs editing their content, or more, advertising yourself as a native English speaker. Our language is quite complicated.
