Blogging Jobs: 3 Ways to Land More Blogging Gigs in 2009

That's the post from BloggingTips.com I did yesterday. If you want to stand out among the commpetition when vying for blogging jobs, this post offers some unique, creative advice. I've used them all to land blogging gigs. Read the post, Blogging Jobs: 3 Ways to Land More Blogging Gigs in 2009.

How to Make 2009 Your Most Lucrative Year Yet as a Blogger

The post, 10 Blogging Tips for 2009 to Make It Your Most Successful Blogging Year Ever, details how. I went back to basics when compiling this list. When I read back over it I thought, "Wow, this is some really good advice." A few on the list I need to incorporate myself heading into the New Year.

How to Make Money Online in 2009

"Pull the Friggin' Trigger!"

I was talking to a brilliant friend last night. I mean, this guy is off-the-charts smart. He wants to start an internet business. He's been planning it for six months or so and is extremely motivated. But, he hasn't started yet.

I kept trying to get him to tell me what's holding him back. He kept talking around it, making excuses, explaining, etc. I finally said to him, "Just pull the friggin' trigger already!" This is a phrase I picked up from Christine at SelfMadeChick.com. I love this phrase because it's exactly what so many who want to start this, that or the other needs to do.

If you want to make money online in 2009 as a blogger, freelance writer, affiliate marketer -- whatever -- stop talking about it, worrying about it, planning it and researching it. Just do it already! You will make mistakes, it won't be easy and it will definitely test your nerves, but if you never START, you'll never get to overcome your mistakes, learn from them and move on. Mistakes are the foundation of success. Get started so you can begin making them and achieve successs that much sooner.

That's my advice as we end the year 2008.

I've had a lot of professional and personal highs and lows this year. I'm glad to see the end of 2008, mainly for personal reasons. I look forward to 2009 for professional reasons. Happy New Year everybody. Be safe and be happy.

New SEO Writing Company Launch -- & Some Other Stuff

Even though I'm sick as a dog today (slamming toothache which has led to a headache, stomach ache (medicine I took for the toothache) and cold, clammy chills), I'm really excited about the launch of my new SEO writing company -- New Media Words.

For Clients Who Want Social Media Marketing

FYI, the new site offers everything a client would want in the way of new media marketing, including social media. Check out the expanded service listings -- and place your order today!

Sorry about the promotional digression, but I am a marketer at heart!

And Now, Back to the Particulars of the Site

I'm 90% done with the site, and will be finishing it up either later today or tomorrow. In my last post here, I talked about the need to update all of my web presences (InkwellEditorial.com, this blog, SEO-Article-Writer.com and SEO-Articles-for-Sale.com). Well, I wasn't kidding. I'll be forwarding SEO-Article-Writer.com and SEO-Articles-for-Sale.com to NewMediaWords.biz, my new SEO writing site.

That leaves InkwellEditorial.com and this blog, InkwellEditorial.blogspot.com.

New Posting Schedule for InkwellEditorial.blogspot.com

Once I finish with the New Media Words site, I'll be turning my attention to learning all I need to know to work with my newly designed site, which was completed this past summer in wordpress. As I said in my last post here, it's gorgeous and I can't wait to get it up and going.

Realistically, that's going to take me the rest of the year to do. I have to upload and redirect over 300 pages on InkwellEditorial.com to the new site, which is a task in and of itself. Before that's done though, I need some lessons in wordpress, which I'll be starting next week.

Hence, I won't be posting regularly here again until the new year. Only if it's absolutely necessary. You guys really gave me a kick in the pants to bring my sites into the 21st century. And, I'm so glad you did.

Blogging Jobs: How Much Should You Charge to Blog?

If you want to catch me on a regular basis between now and mid-January, I post at BloggingTips.com every M-W around 10 am EST. Today's post is entitled, Blogging Jobs: How Much Should You Charge to Blog? Enjoy it!

Blog Posting Rates: 6 Things to Consider Before Lowering Your Rate

The post I wrote today over at BloggingTips.com, my regular Wednesday blogging gig, was inspired by yesterday's post here.

Blogging for Pay: How to Know When/If You Should Lower Your Rates

The topic is blogging rates. In yesterday's post, I answered a question an SEO article writer sent me regarding clients who wanted her to lower her rates. That post was entitled How to Respond to Clients Who Want You to Change Your Rates for Steady Work.

On the heels of that, one of my recently acquired clients that I write blog posts for requsted a lower rate on an ongoing blog posting gig. So, I thought it was a good time to share the guidelines I follow when trying to determine if /when I should lower my blog posting rates. Read this post at BloggingTips.com: Blog Posting Rates: 6 Things to Consider Before Lowering Your Rate.

I've Written It, Am Doing It & Have Proven that My Formula for SEO Writing Success Can Be Duplicated

What's this about? The price of the SEO writing ebook will be raised as of 4/28 (this coming Monday). Want to learn how to make some real money as an SEO writer (I routinely bill $200-$500/day)? This is your last chance to get it at the introductory rate of only $9.95. Details here.

It's just another freelance writing outlet you might want to try, especially if you're just starting out. Learn about Helium's Marketplace here.

Why Freelance Writing Jobs Are Plentiful Right Now

As I mentioned in last Thursday's post, today I was supposed to talk about how I negotiated with clients on three different occasions last week (the rate/fee question), and managed to come away doing ok. But alas, I've been slammed this week. I mean SLAMMED!

Last week it seemed that all of my troublesome clients came out of the woodwork, as I talked about here. This week, it's raining new clients AND old clients with multiple new projects. I'm literally swamped. My work days have started at 6am and ran right through until midnight or 1am the past two days, and it's gonna be that way this entire week.

I say all this to say that I'm going back to a series of quick tips this week, and will pick up with my usual in-depth posting style next week, as I only have 15 -30 minutes to devote to blogging the next few days.

So, four things I want to tell you today.

1. FREELANCE WRITING JOB LEADS FROM ASSOCIATED CONTENT

Last week, I made a quick $45 with Associated Content (AC) for two articles. How? Well, they've been posting a lot of pretty good paying "Calls for Content" lately. I did one article on How to Write a Small Business Plan for $25 (about 45 minutes to write), and another on What All-in-One Printers Can Do For Small Business Owners for $20 (maybe 20 minutes to write).

What are Calls for Content? It's basically a request they send out for certain topics they want you to write about. The pay ranges from $0 (just performance payments) on up to $25, which is the most I've ever seen one for. I perk up when I see $20 and $25, because usually they only have to be 250 to 400 words, and because I'm an SEO writer, I can churn these out like lightning (especially if they have to do with business).

I have claimed four more to write that are due on Thursday, and none are more than 400 words. Each pays $20 and I'd be surprised if it took me more than an hour and a half to do all of them. So, if you're not familiar with AC or haven't given them a look in a while, cruise on over. It could be worth your while.

Following are a few available ones as of this posting.

Your Pregnancy and the Dentsit ($20): This content may or may not be published on DentalPlans.com. If published on that site, it will appear with your byline and a link to your AC profile page, but it will not be eligible for performance payments.Importance of proper nutrition, effects on unborn child, loss of calcium, radiation, medications and options for treating a tooth ache when pregnant. Word Count: 250 to 350 words. Keywords: pregnancy dentist, pregnancy dental x-rays, pregnancy dental careAlso read the Dental Plans Writer Guidelines.

Caring for Someone with Parkinson's Disease ($25): This content may be published on Disaboom.com. If your content is published, it will appear with your byline (or your AC pen name if you've provided a professional one) but it will not be eligible for performance payments. Your Assignment: Interview the following AC CP who has Parkinson's disease. She has agreed to be interviewed for this article. Contact her via her profile page. The writer guidelines below will explain more about the assignment.

How to Hold an Estate Sale ($25): This content may be published on a new IAC Web site (TBA). If published, it will appear with your AC pen name (as long as it is professional). It is not eligible for performance payments. Word Count: 750 to 1,000. Keyphrases: estate sale (5% density and used in first paragraph); local estate sales. Notes from IAC editors: Cover the basics on what to sell, how to price and how to advertise. Assume that there are no legal issues preventing the estate sale, but make mention of what happens if the money from the sale will be assigned to a trust. (NOTE: This is kind of a long one; they usually only request 250-500 words). But, hey, if you have the time and the interest . . . )

NOTE: You must be an AC Content Producer (CP) to write these. Don't worry, it's free to sign up, and you can do it and start writing immediately.

View all AC Calls for Content here. Learn more about Calls for Content here.

2. BLOGGING JOB JOB LEAD FROM THE RHYTHIM OF WRITE

This job lead comes from Deborah Dera of therhythmofwrite.com. She left a comment on my blog last Thursday, so I clicked over to her blog, and lo and behold, she had a great writeup on a paid blogging gig site I'd never heard of. So, check out this post on her blog about PayU2Blog.com. You may be able to pick up some nice pocket change like Deborah has.

Thanks Deborah for the tip!

3. Tomorrow I'll pass along a ton of leads from Constant-Content (CC). If my experience this week and the emails I'm getting from CC are any indication, clients are coming out of the woodworks these days. There's so much frelance writing work out there right now it's insane -- especially for SEO writers! My inbox and phone have been blown up with client request for proposals and outright signing on the dotted line.

I'll share a quick tip from an interesting conversation I had with an SEO internet marketing firm exec tomorrow. And finally. . .

4. This blog is in a contest, and we came through the first round a winner! John Hewitt of Poewar.com, in honor of March Madness, put together a very unique contest entitled March Writing Blog Madness! The purpose: "A field of 32 blogs about writing will gather to compete to see who is the best." Read more about it here. And read how we fared in the first round of the contest here.

It's a great way to discover new freelance writing blogs, and to get in-depth information on which ones you may want to consider becoming regular readers of.

I have two more hours to put in before getting some shut-eye and getting up and doing it all again. Until tomorrow.

How to Hire Experienced SEO Writers: Learn from One Freelancer's Unfortunate Experience

This week, I’m doing a Mail Bag Roundup, so to speak. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’ve gotten quite a bit of mail this week that I thought I’d answer here. That way, everyone can benefit from it.

In contrast to yesterday’s newbie query, today’s question is from a reader who’s a “victim” of her own SEO writing success. But, if you ever find yourself in this situation, it can be downright frustrating, to say the least.

Here’s what she wrote to me. Today’s post is a long one, but a chance to learn a ton. So, here goes . . . (read the rest here).

TOMORROW’S POST: I’m going to update you on SEO Mary, who’s flying pretty high these days – and none too soon. I’m so sleepy right now, I’m trying to decide whether to just take a quick nap, or soldier on through and get my workout in . . . Oh, don’t forget to see job leads below.

5 Rules to Adhere to When Approaching Others to Write for Your Blog

I have a regular blogging gig over at BloggingTips.com. Since I’ve been writing for that site, I’ve received a few offers to blog for other sites. That’s what prompted this post. Before I detail this post though, I interrupt this missive to make an announcement . . . drum roll . . . this blog’s accompanying site received an award . . .

InkwellEditorial.com is one of The Top 100 Freelancer Blogs. We’re listed as #13, and although the list doesn’t assign value on placement, I believe in cosmic forces working for you. My lucky number is 13 (my birthday is February 13th; because I entered the world on the 13th day, I’ve always thought of it as a lucky number).

FYI, the 40 Days to a Successful Freelance Writing Career series mentioned in our listing starts here.

Today's Quick Tip for Freelance Writers

Tres cool . . . now back to the aforementioned post, 5 Rules to Adhere to When Approaching Others to Write for Your Blog.

Now that blogging is becoming more mainstream, it seems that everyone has a blog and the need for bloggers is growing by leaps and bounds. But, like most things in freelance writing, not everyone wants to pay. And, the opportunities are cloaked in phrases like “guest blogging” (which can be great given certain factors) and the over-used word, exposure, which has become synonymous with “no pay.”

As someone who’s been approached, I outlined what I think is an ideal approach, whether you’re offering a paid opportunity, or not. Read the entire post here. Enjoy, send in your feedback and be sure to check out today’s freelance job listings below.

Best,

Types of SEO Writing Jobs

Since my foray into SEO writing, I’ve had some interesting projects. I’ve learned a ton.

As a side point, I feel like I could beat the crapola out of anyone on Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire these days. As an SEO writer, you write about a little of everything. Hence, I’ve picked up tidbits on a lot of things. For example, did you know that wedding cake toppers have a rich cultural history that dates back to the 1890s. Neither did I?

I’m a sucker by nature for reading and soaking up information. I guess that’s why this field appeals to me so much.

A reader wrote in asking me what types of projects I work on as an SEO writer. I went back through a month’s worth of work, and the following is what I came up with (note: some are not SEO writing, but clients contacted me because I queried them as an SEO writer):

Happy writing everybody!

Do Bloggers Need To Unionize?

This is an interesting post on WebProNews. Food for thought on a lazy Sunday morning.

Bloggers unionizing -- at least it's starting to be recognized as a true profession. Could respect -- and decent pay -- for online writers be far behind?

What do you think?

FYI, did you catch yesterday's post, How Weekend Blogging Can Increase Your Freelance Writing Success?

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. :-)
