I hear a lot of people claiming they can’t seem to land an online job through Freelancing Boards.
“The pay is too low.”
“I don’t have a portfolio.”
To get your foot in the door working with SEO and ghostwriting content, you need to understand one thing. Most SEO related articles are so simple, that you write them in your sleep. So the pay will be lower. On the other hand, if you can type fast, you increase your chances of getting higher pay and bonuses, depending on who you’ll be writing for.
The first sign clients look for is if they are willing to take lower paid assignments and how fast they can turn them around. Are they willing to turn in assignments ahead of time? If you are, then you have great potential for this field of writing.If you are expecting to land a wad of dough right away, keep looking for another opportunity.
SEO based writing tends to be like Surveys. They don’t pay much, but you can earn some extra money here and there.
As you build up your portfolio, you can expand your writing into other areas. SEO articles are a great start for beginners in the area of freelancing.
