The Full-Time Freelance Writer Report

Over the past few weeks I have been working on a special project in addition to my usual freelance writing duties, etc. The end result is “The Full-Time Freelance Writer Report.” Generally speaking, this is a 25 page report that touches on many aspects of starting and sustaining a successful freelance writing career. As you can imagine, I could write hundreds of pages on the topic of freelance writing, but the point of the report was to be sweet and to the point. After all, most freelance writers do not have the time to read hundreds of pages. It is much easier to get the right information while passing over the fluff.

While I am not charging to download the report, there is one catch (but not really). In order to gain access to the download page, as well as the password, you must first subscribe to ChrisBlogging.com via email. Upon doing so, the download page and corresponding password will be emailed to you.

But what if I already subscribed? In this case, all you need to do is send an email to info (at) chrisblogging.com with the subject “password.” From there, I will send you the link to the download page and the password that you need to gain access.

Several people have already asked why I am not charging a fee. Simply put, I don’t want this to be seen as nothing more than another e-book. Instead, I want people to download the report and feel confident that it will help them in some way, shape, or form. And if it doesn’t help, you didn’t lose any money in the process.

If you have a spare moment, link back to this post or pass it along to your friends. The more downloads the better!

Finally, a Real Way to Make Money as a Freelance Writer

SEO copywriting is the latest niche in which freelance writers can make some real money. How? Why?

What is SEO Copywriting?

SEO stands for search engine optimization. SEO copywriting is writing text in such a way that it drives traffic to a website/blog.  It’s very easy to learn how to write SEO copy and firms are scrambling to find writers who know how to do it. Sometimes, getting clients is so easy it’s like shooting fish in a barrel.

3 Reasons SEO Copywriting Is So Hot & Can be a Goldmine for Freelance Writers

i) Many don’t know what SEO writing is. For this reason, freelance writers who know what it is and/or take the time to learn, getting clients is relatively easy compared to other types of writing.

ii) The field is growing. Search engine optimization is here to stay. And, webmasters, web design firms, internet marketing firms, etc. all need this type of copy.

iii) SEO is not static. There are constantly changing rules, techniques and tactics (eg, long-tail keywords, backlinks, duplicate content penalties, etc.). SEO writers who stay abreast of this changing technology will be able to practically name their price – if they know how to market correctly.

In the ebook, How to Make 250+/Day Writing Simple, 500-Word Articles, I explain in detail my marketing strategy – a strategy that brought in 4 paid projects in a just a few days. After a couple of months as an SEO writer, I was so busy that I had to hire help.

I’ve been a freelance writer since 1993 and since I added SEO copywriting to my list of services, I have never been so busy. In fact, it makes up the bulk of my new clients.

Read more about how you too can work from home and start a successful career as a freelance SEO writer. You will find case studies and testimonials of those who have repeated my success – from college students to experienced journalists. If they can do it, you can too!
