When it comes to jobs in the internet, freelance SEO writing is one of the most lucrative ones. It is easy to become a freelance SEO writer if you have good writing skills and a little knowledge in SEO. While writing well is the key, you also need to familiarize yourself with researching in the Internet.
Usually SEO writing jobs come in the form of article writing, however, SEO writers are also expected to write contents for websites and blogs.
Knowing the subtle differences in writing styles for websites and blogs is a great advantage of being an SEO writer. The advantages of being a freelance SEO writer are many. For example
- You can be your own boss choosing your own time of work.
- You can either scale up or down your income according to your abilities and needs.
- Although it is quite difficult in the beginning to get good clients offering regular jobs, you will gain the trust of your customers in due course of time.
- Bidding sites are the best places to start.
There are also many disadvantages of being a freelancer because
- You will never have the assurance of a regular pay check at the end of the month.
- At times you may also come across fraudsters that will extract all the work from you and never turn up when it’s time for the pay.
- One other challenge beginners face during the early stages of their career is the need to develop their versatility.
- Being an expert in a particular niche will not only reduce your opportunity to take up a variety of offers but also reduce your income greatly. This is why it is important to train your hand on multiple niches in order to get more projects and increase your income.
