The internet has changed the face of employment in a most amazing way. The number of people becoming involved in internet marketing is growing exponentially.  If they are getting the right training or mentoring, then they are being told to outsource what they cannot do, or what they do not enjoy doing.  This is particularly so with internet marketing writing: article writing, e-book writing, blog writing and social media posts.
 Writing cannot be everyone’s forte, but if it was, lots of internet marketers could justify their time to include it in their campaigns.  Although they recognise that SEO writing is imperative in order to get traffic and backlinks, they would rather do the ‘sexier’ stuff – product creation, filming videos, recording interviews and the like.

So for them, outsourcing article writing – and all other types of writing – makes good business sense.  Just as with other business models, internet marketers work better when they are doing the jobs they like.

There is Plenty Of Work

If, like me, writing is your thing, then this industry is providing a ‘business on a platter’ for you.  There is so much work available for writers who have learned how to create SEO (search engine optimized) content – and it’s not difficult.  And the beauty of it is, just about anyone can do it – from teenagers to the elderly, particularly if you have some expertise in the topic area.

Internet marketers are not looking for journalists for this work – for one thing, they won’t pay journalist rates.  And it is not Pulitzer Prize writing that they are seeking.  They want material that is topic-specific, with correct keyword placement, good grammar and spelling. Internet marketing article writing has structure, but it is easy to learn.

Understanding the way to create a good article is the initial step, as article marketing is one of the most often used techniques for getting links and traffic.  Articles can be added to free publication sites, and posted on the marketers website as well – great, original content.

What Can You Earn?

When you begin, you should expect to work for lower than ideal rates, particularly if you are using one of the many freelancing sites to find work.  Here you need to develop a ‘reputation’ and rating from previous clients in order to build credibility with prospective clients.
 You will be offered more work if your work is up to your clients standard. As you build a relationship with the client and demonstrate your reliability and quality of work, you are in a position to ask for more per job.  Do the right thing by your client, and they will reward you with loyalty.

I look after my clients, and never deliver substandard work. And I recruit writers as well, some I have had for several years, others never get invited back. 

Bottom line?  See what is available in internet marketing articles writing, get some good instruction and try your hand at it.  You won’t make pots of money right away, but by building a good client based, you will have the beginnings of a great business.
