It is pretty easy to learn and you could earn and accomplish a lot in no time.<\/p>\n<p>When I first started blogging, I had no clue about anything. I didn&#8217;t know how a good post should look like, how it should be formatted and most importantly, how much I should charge per one post. Logically, I didn&#8217;t know the last one as I really didn&#8217;t know whether I&#8217;m writing something quality, mediocre or posts that sucks. I was afraid to ask my audience what they do think of the posts I was presenting to them because the answer could crush me and kill all my motivation. But finding more about my skills was a necessity to my further success.<\/p>\n<p>Once when I felt I really wrote a good post I went to couple of people and asked them to rate my post. I only asked for honest feedback and I find out that I was mediocre writer. Some even said they didn&#8217;t liked a single word I wrote. Well, too bad. I didn&#8217;t give up because I knew that there is plenty of work for guys like me in the freelance world. I also worked a lot on improving my skills so I could eventually raise my rate as quality rises.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What the work consists of<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I was starting out I didn&#8217;t have clue that some of the bloggers were getting $200+ per post. I was mostly focusing on smaller gigs that were paying between $10 and $30. However, the quality of such posts didn&#8217;t had to be that high and my work was mostly focused on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SEO Articles<\/li>\n<li>Article rewriting<\/li>\n<li>Cookie-cutter blog posts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>SEO writing mostly consists of writing a post that focuses on some important SEO factors such as keyword density, keyword diversity, H2, H3 tags and similar. The quality was not that important and clients really didn&#8217;t wanted a masterpiece. They were only looking for posts that rank.<\/p>\n<p>Article rewriting was also pretty easy. There were two type of clients that wanted their articles rewritten: ones who wanted to stay in a race with new Google algorithm and ones who received article full of errors from some other freelancer. I was just doing a good job and I was able to keep my all clients happy.<\/p>\n<p>Cookie-cutter blog posts are the ones that doesn&#8217;t require a spectacular fancy writing that costs couple of hundreds. Clients are mostly looking for a solid post that will fit into their budget but still be quality enough to keep most of the readers happy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to land these types of jobs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I find out that people who need writers all the time are SEO companies. There were plenty of those all around the Internet and they were paying a solid rate as they were freelancers and knew how much work needs to be put in getting something quality.<\/p>\n<p>I was usually approaching SEO companies by email which didn&#8217;t resulted in very good response rate since I was getting only around 20%. However, that was enough as the SEO companies who got back to me had thousands of articles that needed to be written or rewritten.<\/p>\n<p>The key to my success was outsourcing. I hired around 10 writers who were producing articles on a daily basis for me while I was only taking orders and getting percentage from every job. That was great for me and I knew I could last long like that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today&#8217;s post I&#8217;m going to show you a money making method that worked when I first started freelance blogging.
