$100 for SEO Articles: How to Become a Highly Paid SEO Copywriter

SEO copywriting is very lucrative -- if you know how to get the most from your writing skill. The following happened to me recently, which proves this point:

$100 Per SEO Article; $50 Per SEO Article; $40 Per SEO Article

On Friday, August 8th, I opened my inbox and had an order for two SEO articles, 500-600 words: $100 each. On Wednesday, August 13th, I logged into my PayPal account and a client had pre-paid for a $50 article (350-450 words). On Tuesday, August 5th, I negotiated a $40/article rate (400-450 words) for three articles with a client.

SEO Copywriting Advice: How to Get the Most for Your Skill

As many of you know, when I first started out as an SEO copywriter, I charged $25 per article. For some clients, I still charge that. But, as I’ve gotten busier, my rates have steadily increased because it’s about maximizing my time to make the most.

SEO Copywriters: How to Hang Onto a Client When You Increase Your Rates

The one thing about working for money as opposed to passive income (which my ebooks provide) is that when you don’t work, you don’t get paid. Once my rate SEO writing rate increase went into effect, I had one client who kind of balked.

I patiently explained to him that while I was very glad to have him as a client and would hate to lose him, to grow my SEO copywriting business, I had to spend my time where it made the most money for me. I told him how I routinely put in 10-16 hour days and how I needed to still be able to make a living, but also have a life. I pointed out to him how a rested writer was a sharp one (adding a little humor never hurts).

As a business owner (he owns an internet marketing firm), he understood. And, I managed to retain him as a client -- although he orders fewer articles and blog posts. One thing I like about SEO writing clients is that they tend to be business owners, or account executives at marketing firms who understand paying for quality.

Explaining to my client why I was raising rates -- and appealing to him on a level that all business owners can understand (profit and time management) -- allowed me to keep him as a client.

Getting to the $100/Article Mark & How It’s Affected My SEO Copywriting Business

SEO Copywriting Average Article Rate: I average $40-$50/article now.

SEO Copywriting Marketing Results: When I market, I bring in fewer clients, but have actually managed to increase my hourly rate (this is how I chart what I make).

SEO Copywriting and Turning Down Work: I’ve turned down more work from potential clients who want to negotiate below what I think my time is worth. One of the reasons it’s easy for me to turn down work is that when I’m not working on client projects, I’m working on my ebooks. So, when I take into account what I would be making versus what I could be doing with that time (ie, building passive income via my own informational products), it’s a no brainer.

Inkwell Editorial Now Has an Affiliate Program: Did you know that if you sign up, you can get all of Inkwell Editorial’s ebooks on freelance writing for one low price ($39.95)? You can! It’s a limited time offer, so check out the details.

In tomorrow‘s post, I’ll divulge how I got to the $100/article mark-- and point out some things I did along the way that can help you get there too.

Why PLR Content is the Money Making Black Sheep of the Web

PLR content is without a doubt the black sheep of the web. Is it fair? Is there a bit of discrimination going on here?

What is PLR Content? For those who may not know about this type of writing, PLR stands for private label rights content. It's sold to more than one party. But, you may be thinking, "Then it should be the black sheep. Why would anyone want to use content that can be found on other sites?"

As with most things in life, there's more than one side to this story. Guess who's making money from PLR content while discriminating against individual PLR content providers? Read the "hot topic" article Is PLR Content Dead? on InkwellEditorial.com.

Traffic-Generating Lessons Learned from Internet Marketing Firms

As an SEO writer, I work with a lot of internet marketing firms. This has been a great learning experience for me on many levels about how to market on the web.

Why Internet Marketing Firms are Hired

To generate traffic -- this is the number one reason all internet marketing firms are hired. Serious web entrepreneurs realize that to get recognized on the web, you need to first get found on the web. SEO (search engine optimization) and SEM (search engine marketing) firms help their clients achieve these goals.

I've learned a ton about how they go about doing this, which I discuss in my post, Traffic Generating Tips I’ve Learned from Working with SEO Firms, over at BloggingTips.com today.

As I wrote, "Think about it this way: if the traffic generation experts (ie, Internet Marketing Firms) are using these methods to drive traffic to client sites, shouldn’t you be doing the same for your site?"

How to Respond to Clients Who Want You to Change Your Rates for Steady Work

Last week, I received the following email from a freelance writer who bought my ebook on SEO writing, was landing clients at one rate (after only a couple of weeks of marketing), and wondered if she should go lower for this one client who promised steady work.

She wrote:

Hi Yuwanda, I received the following response to one of my marketing emails from an SEO company. I thought I was pretty bargain basement at $20 when I have no experience. I've been marketing for a couple of weeks, and I've already gotten a couple of clients so far (emphasis added) so I'm not willing to work for these rates; I don't think I need to. But I'm wondering how I should respond to him at this point? Could he be just testing to see if I'll bite? Thanks BL
**********

POTENTIAL CLIENT'S EMAIL TO BL

Hello BL, Thanks for getting in touch with me. We are currently working with a writer team that offers a lower price. ($10 per 500 word article). So far we have been happy with the quality of the work. If you can lower your fees we might be able to send you some work in the future. Thanks

Why a Recession is a Great Time to Start a Freelance Writing Career

My post today is over at BloggingTips.com. It's entitled, The Mind of an Entrepreneur versus The Mind of a 9-5’er. This "unofficial" recession we're in and a conversation I had with a girlfriend who works in corporate America got me to thinking a lot about why some are scared (9-5ers), and why others aren't (freelancers).

I don't think there's ever been a better time than RIGHT NOW to start a freelance writing career. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, Why Freelance Writing Jobs are Plentiful Right Now, there's so much work out there right now it's frightening. My calender is filled to the gills! So, check out the post and let me know your thoughts.

What I Learned from Talking to an Internet Marketing Firm Executive

Freelance Writing Tip of the Day: I was talking to an executive at an internet marketing firm in Ann Arbor, Michigan yesterday. I queried them a few days ago and lo and behold, someone actually called. (Usually, I get responses via email). Anyway, we wound up having a nice chat about the dearth of freelance SEO writers.

She said they do a lot of stuff in house, but had been looking for a freelance SEO writer they can outsource stuff to on a regular basis. She said they've had trouble finding skilled writers in this area, and was happy to receive my email.

Two things to take away from this:

(i) Market regularly. Even though I have so much work that my days are 18 hours right now, I still market. Where I used to send out 50 or 100 queries a week, I'm now down to 10-20. Work will come in months later, which means your pipeline will always be full. This is why many freelancers live a feast and famine existence. They stop marketing when they get busy.

When you do this, you have to ramp up again (eg, start marketing) and wait for the work to flow in (hence, a dry spell). As I've said before, since I started SEO writing, I've only about two days where I didn't have any work. That's because I'm constantly marketing, which I talk about in this ebook. (Sorry about all the ebook promotion, but it's just so darn relevant!)

(ii) Learn the basics of SEO. It's still a new, burgeoning field and you have a real chance to establish yourself before it gets too crowded.

Can you really make $2,000/week as an SEO writer?

Of course, my ebook can tell you everything you need to get started as an SEO writer. It's not as hard as you think, and the work comes fast and furious. This week I'll be billing close to $2,000 in JUST SEO writing work -- and that doesn't include work that's already done that I'm waiting on payment for, or projects that are on tap.

Okay, enough about that. Below are the freelance writing job leads from Constant-Content.com I promised yesterday. Happy humpty dumpty day everybody.

SEO Writer: One Freelance Writer's Success Story

Today’s update is on SEO Mary, which I’ve been promising practically all week. I’ve been so busy lately that I didn’t even query Mary. Sweet soul that she is, I think she’s come to feel some responsibility to readers of her foray into SEO writing, so she took it upon herself to email me.

Even though I would have gotten around to it eventually, I’m glad she took the step. FYI, this is officially Part VII of this series. Read it from the beginning here.

Series Note: I had put an official end to this series at Part V. Obviously, it’s gone past that and may go a few more. I’ll always have a post on my blog when I’m going to post an update to the series.

Mary Lands a Client Who LOVES Her Work -- She writes:

Good afternoon, Yuwanda. I've been wanting to e-mail you with an update, but wanted to wait until I had definitive news -- and now I have it! Things are progressing well. I have a client who LOVES my work. I've written seven articles for him so far, and he's hoping to give me more soon. I know I should be marketing more but I'm going to be absolutely swamped with work over the next few weeks, because....
