What if I told you that 30-60 days from now, you could easily be making $1,000 to $2,000/week? You probably wouldn’t believe me, and I wouldn’t blame you. But, unlike others who promise “riches,” you have to work for this. It is not promoting affiliate products or a revenue-sharing program or any other get-rich-quick, make-money-online scheme.

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

This is a real way to make money as a freelance writer — that surprise, surprise — you have to actually do some writing work. What is this opportunity?

coverSEO writing. And, I’ve been doing it since the fall of 2007. Within a couple of months, I had other writers under me. These days I routinely bill $200-$500/day — sometimes more. And, these are normal, run-of-the-mill weeks.

Learn more about me and my businesses here.

What is SEO writing?

SEO stands for search engine optimization. This niche involves writing content in a particular way to drive traffic to a website and/or blog. It’s quick and easy to do, and it pays handsomely! To learn more, read more on how to write SEO articles.

Start Bringing in Clients in Less than 1 Week — Really!

In this ebook, I detail how I went from 0 clients to 4 paid projects in less than one week writing SEO articles — at $25 per 500-word article. I now charge much more, occassionally billing as much as $100 per article. See my current SEO article writing rates on my SEO writing company’s website.

FYI, these articles take me 20-45 minutes to write, translating into a salary of $40-$75/hour. Did you know that on the low end of $40/hour, that equates to an annual salary of over $70,000 ($40/hour x 35 hours/week x 52 weeks/year)?

And, I’m not the only one who has experienced this kind of success. Below are case studies and actual testimonials of other freelancer writers who have done the same thing — in the same amount of time. One is a college student who landed 4 clients just a few days after buying the ebook — and went on to quit his job waiting tables soon thereafter.

If you want to start making $100, $200 or more per day as a freelance writer — pretty easily — this ebook is for you!

Prime Example: When I initially wrote this page on 12/17/07, I clicked over to refresh my inbox and the client I landed during my first week of marketing had just sent me 10 more articles — which I completed in 5 hours or less — for a grand total of $250. This is from one client. At the time, I had three more clients in the pipeline who wanted me to start on projects in January (2008).

Note: See tons of testimonials below, from the time this ebook was first written up until the current date.

As you can see, SEO writing is very lucrative — and it’s relatively easy to get — if you know how to market for it. In this ebook, I detail exactly how I get clients and why, after being a freelance writer since 1993, it is now my most lucrative niche.

Why the SEO Writing Field is Wide Open!

SEO writing is a new type of writing — and it’s hot right now. Getting your foot in the door NOW before the field becomes oversaturated is key. Why?

Because once clients use you, they’ll rarely jump ship to another writer. As long as you continue to turn in quality work at a rate they can afford, you’ll soon find yourself with more work than you can handle.

In fact, when I was researching this field, I found that many SEO writers stopped accepting new clients because they couldn’t handle the workload from existing clients; many outsource the work they get from clients.

What You Get in This Ebook: An EXACT Roadmap to SEO Writing Success

Sales Query: I’ll send you the exact marketing letter I sent out that garnered me a 25% response rate.

Website: I’ll tell you exactly what to put on your web page to make it bring in new clients 24/7.

Create a Niche: I’ll tell you exactly how to sell yourself to clients via niche marketing.

Writing Samples: Don’t have any? It’s okay. I’ll tell you exactly what to do to get around this — bringing in as much work as someone who has tons of samples.

How to Market for Clients: I’ll reveal to you the exact methods I use to find clients. It’s free, quick and easy.

Writing the Articles: I’ll tell you exactly how to actually write SEO articles. Again, you can start by reading this article on how to write SEO content. But, I’ll give you the tricks I use to turn them out on subjects I don’t even know about in 30-45 minutes.

Interacting with Clients: I’ll tell you exactly what to expect when a client contacts you, how to be knowledgeable (even though you’re just starting out), and how to give them what they want so they use you over and over again.

And More!

I’ll also go over billing, what to charge, how to charge, tools you’ll need to get started (if you have a computer, you’re practically there already) and much more.

I’ll also show you actual correspondence from clients sent in response to the marketing queries I sent out — and how I responded to them. You’ll have all the tools you need to start making money as an SEO copywriter almost immediately.

P.S.: Free Ebook! You get the ebook, The Small Biz Owner’s Complete Marketing Kit!, absolutely free with your purchase. Following are the case studies and testimonials.

SEO Writing Case Study #1: Long-time Freelance Writer Who Finally Sees a Way to Quitting Her Full-time Job

This is an in-depth case study of a nervous freelance who had been trying to make a go of freelance writing for years, but had never managed to make the full-time leap.

In painstaking detail, “SEO Mary,” as I dubbed her for the series, allowed us insight into her foray into SEO Writing. From landing her first client, to the problems she experienced (I coached her through it), to landing a steady gig and making plans to quit her job.

Read the entire series from the beginning at the end of the April 16th issue of Inkwell Editorial’s freelance writing newsletter (pg 22).

SEO Writing Case Study #2: College Student Who Lands 4 SEO Clients in 2 Days

SEO Work Success!!! (Title of the email)

Hi Yuwanda,

I just wanted to share with you my story, briefly. I am currently a 5th year senior in college, and I’ve been running a (failing) copywriting business for the last year, trying to get work from local businesses in the area. I stumbled across your website last week and bought your eBook because it seemed interesting (and was only 10 bucks*). After reading it, I decided to give SEO writing a try.

*This was the introductory price of the ebook.

This afternoon (Monday), I sent out 24 emails to companies requesting work after setting up an SEO page on my website (he listed his website). Within an HOUR, I had one email requesting samples, and a phone call requesting my services! Within twelve hours, I had FOUR companies asking me to write for them!!! (emphasis added) I’m officially a writer now!

And, because I serve tables for a living, replacing my income won’t be that hard! By the end of this week, I should know whether or not I can go freelance FULL TIME! (emphasis added) And I just wanted to send you an emphatic “thank you” for providing me the blueprint for this. The guy that called me today said I was “in the right profession” right now. I have a profession! And I don’t graduate for another month!

I am terribly thankful that this is working, and I can’t wait to see what other work I can dig up this week. Thank you so much for providing direction for my freelance writing! If there’s any way I can repay you, let me know!

SEO Writing Case Study #3: Already Turning Down Work after Less Than 2 Weeks of Marketing

I received this email from a freelance SEO writer who bought my ebook on March 20, 2008. On April 18, 2008, she sent me the following question:

Hi Yuwanda,

I received the following response to one of my marketing emails from an SEO company. I thought I was pretty bargain basement at $20 when I have no experience. I’ve been marketing for a couple of weeks, and I’ve already gotten a couple of clients so far (emphasis added) so I’m not willing to work for these rates; I don’t think I need to. But I’m wondering how I should respond to him at this point? Could he be just testing to see if I’ll bite?

Thanks BL

NOTE: Remember, the exact marketing email I send out is included in the ebook. I consistently get between a 15-25% response rate to my email campaigns, which is HUGE if you know anything about marketing. The industry-accepted response ranges between 1-3% for most email campaigns.

Testimonial #4: SEO Writer Who Was Already Making Money but Wanted to Know How to Land More Lucrative Clients

I received this email from a freelance SEO writer who was already working fulltime as an SEO writer. She’d started doing SEO writing before I did. But, she wanted to land better-paying clients. Here’s what she had to say:

Hi Yuwanda:

I just wanted to quickly let you know that I bought your SEO writing ebook and was completely blown away with how well it was presented!

I had thought about buying it was $9.95 but procrastinated. To be honest, when the price went up to $39.95, I decided it was just too much for me to pay. See, most ebooks I’ve purchased give a generic outline of what to do, and I didn’t want to pay for that kind of advice again.

But I needed help getting more good paying clients. I lucked upon the clients I have now – they pay well, provide steady work and refer me from time to time. But I want a nice variety of well paying clients. This is where I have been stuck.

I’ve been sooo busy lately, I haven’t been able to read your book. Saturday I spent the afternoon in the [emergency room] because my daughter was sick, so I printed your ebook and took it with me knowing I’d be there for a while.
The book is so detailed! It is extremely clear. I thought I knew more about SEO writing than I actually did! I can’t wait to start my marketing campaign next week. If I get just one client with your book, it was more than worth the investment!

Testimonial #5: Freelance Writer New to SEO Writing Who Not Only Easily Landed Clients, but Got More Per Article than He Asked For!

I am living proof that if you follow Yuwanda’s ebook step by step, your only problem will be fulfilling your orders.

Just today, I got this email:

“Hi Robert,

I reviewed your work and I am interested in your services. We have a need for several articles (500-700 words) for what you are describing. What are the next steps?”

I was like “what???” They didn’t even question my rates or anything!

It’s almost too good to be true and in fact, Yuwanda, I owe you a cup of coffee or beer or whatever it is you drink for fun! LOL!!

This freelancer sent me another email that said the following:

I followed your ebook and did everything that you recommended and I cannot believe how good it worked!!

It’s insane!!

Let me post an email I got just last week:

“Thank you for contacting us. I have a particular format of articles we want. If you can do them I can offer you $40 per article. Otherwise we get seo articles for $10.

We need articles in this format to use our program. We currently have an article writer and we are always looking for talented SEO influenced writers. If you want we can try $200 worth of articles aka 5 articles. Let me know.

This after submitting my rate of $35/article!!!!!

Thank you Yuwanda!

Testimonial #6: Experienced Journalist and Freelance Writer from Spain Who Learned How to Make Some Real Money in the SEO Writing Niche

Hi Yuwanda,

I felt I had to get back to you to tell you about my progress so far.

I bought your ebook last week and read it thoroughly. It inspired me, so I decided to follow your plan and see what would happen. I’ve been writing articles for years and I have always felt that I am worth a lot more than I have been getting. I don’t mean to brag, but I can write pretty good, and $5 an article – if you can get that much these days – is simply an insult!

Anyway…

I spent a bit of time concentrating on getting all the parts of your strategy right. I already had a website for my writing, so I decided to spruce it up a bit and make it more focussed [sic] on SEO article writing.

I chose some articles I’d already written and re-wrote them in a more SEO-friendly manner and put them on the website as samples. I spent some time getting the details on companies [like you detail in your ebook] and made up a spreadsheet. Everything was ready this morning (I had other work to do in between too), so I started sending out my query letter.

After about 20 minutes, I had a Skype call from one of the companies asking for articles. It seems he was sitting at his desk wondering who could do a batch of articles for him that a client needed. His usual contact was already overworked and he wasn’t sure how to find another one (he told me this later). When my email arrived, it was exactly what he needed. He made contact, we discussed it and that was that!

The bit that amazed me was when he asked for my rates. I told him I was charging $25 an article (yes, I copied your strategy exactly :-) and he didn’t even balk one little bit. [emphasis added] His actual words were, “Yep, that sounds spot on.” I knew at that moment I could probably have asked for $35 or even $45 an article and have gotten it too!

Anyway, I now have 32 articles to do at $22 each as they are 350-word articles and I was quoting for 500-word articles. I didn’t drop the price much as there is some more research than usual involved, but nothing too hard. The price was in British pounds as the SEO company is in London . It came to 384 GB pounds, so he rounded it up to 400 GB pounds – somewhere around $735 – which I thought was a nice gesture. I should be able to complete them in a few days (I could get used to this!)

I had been worrying that my being in Spain might prove to be a problem, for while I clearly state that my first language is English, the only thing that clients seem to see is the word, ” Spain ” and they assume that I am Spanish! Luckily, this didn’t prove to be a problem.

This [marketing method outlined in your ebook] works! I fully expect to get a lot of other work too, and I’ll certainly keep trying.

Thanks again for opening my eyes to what is possible in freelancing. Your ebook is worth a lot more than what you sell it for – believe me! In fact, don’t sell any more – I don’t want the competition :-)

Kind regards,

John C., Spain

Testimonial #8: New SEO Writer Who Lands 2 Clients in 5 Hours (Yes, hours!)

He wrote:

I appreciate the follow-up very much [in response to questions he had after purchasing the ebook].

I’ve gotten 2 clients in less than 5 hours since sending query letters. (emphasis added) . . . do yourself a favor, folks: buy the book. You won’t be disappointed. It is still less than 24 hours since I purchased the book, and I already have a payment in my Paypal account. Wonderful advice that works!

Testimonial #9: SEO Writer Reaches the $200 Per Day Mark Based on Marketing Strategy Outlined in Ebook

She wrote on 8/17/2010:

First let me say thanks for answering my question(s) in your previous blog posts. I am writing to let you know, that I had my first $200 day after following the steps you outline in your e-book. I sent . . . emails pitching myself as a niche writer . . . A few days later, an SEO company called me, explained the scope of the project and sent me the funds through paypal without hesitation. . . . they are a local company. They said if they like my work, they will have much more in store, and are willing to pay higher fees.

For some reason, I thought your advice would only work for you. I know, call me naive, but I guess it seemed too good to be true. Luckily, I discovered you and liked what you had to say. If it wasn’t for you, I think I would still be trying to break into magazine writing. (Is it okay if I say thank you now, for all the blog post you respond to. I know that I will have more questions along the way).

Hi. I’ve been reading your book and like it very much. I appreciate the amount of attention and detail you’ve given to the subject. This is clearly not just another generic “how to” book.

I will be laid off effective April 15th. I purchased your excellent ‘How To Make Money Writing Simple 500 Word Articles’last week, and as a result, am even more confident about launching my writing career.

I intend to do SEO writing articles and web pages and just see where that takes me. Print media seems to be dying slowly, and I like the idea of getting work fairly quickly to not only make money but increase my confidence…my excuses and procrastination won’t work any more!

Have a nice evening,

Testimonial #15: A Successful Launch into a New Career!

New SEO Writer Who Landed Jobs Quickly Wrote on 12/1/2010:

Yuwanda,

I just bought your ebook on SEO writing in early November and have launched my business already, and have gotten a couple jobs, . . . I’m keeping up with my marketing emails every day and I’m getting a lot of positive responses. . . I am encouraged that I’m going in the right direction.

Take care and God bless!

Testimonial #15A: Continuing Success!

I received a follow-up email from the SEO writer just above (remember, he started in November of 2010). On 2/11/2011, he wrote to me saying:

It’s been a while since I wrote you. I just wanted to let you know that I’m still alive and my SEO writing business is doing great. I’m so busy sometimes, I barely have time to do anything else. I guess it’s all worthwhile. I just want to again say thanks for the guidance you provided in your ebook.

You know, everything you said would happen in the ebook happened. All I had to do was follow the plan! This is the first time I’ve ever bought one of these business plans that actually worked. It’s truly amazing.

Well, anyway, I just wanted to say hi and tell you those things. It’s late here and I’ve been writing all day, so time to sign off. Have a wonderful weekend!

Testimonial #15B: Location Doesn’t Matter as an SEO Writer: This SEO Copywriter Lives in the Philippines and Had His First $1,000 Week!

I received (yet another) follow-up email from the SEO writer just above (remember, he started in November of 2010. On 3/23/2011). He wrote the following in response to this newsletter:

Thanks so much for all the support you provide. Just to update you, I’m busier than ever. In fact, this will be my best week to date (and it’s only Wednesday)! I’ve already broken $1000 for the week for the first time and may end up close to $1500. [emphasis added] Granted, some of this is money coming from bigger projects already completed, but still a very good week.

I am amazed and humbled that others are having trouble tapping into this business. I feel so blessed that I’ve been able to land several well paying clients, and I still have my steady 100 marketing emails going out every week. I seem to add a client or two each week from them, and I pay my niece to send them out for me.

I can also attest to the fact that location makes little difference. I’m living in the Philippines, [emphasis added] but I don’t tell people until they become clients and start working with them. At that point, I think it’s helpful for them to know the time zone difference. Other than the time zones, I don’t think location is all that big a deal.

Again, thanks for all you do, and keep encouraging those that haven’t quite made it yet. All I can say is the good paying jobs are out here, and all they need to do to get them is follow your plan from the ebook.

Testimonial #17: Persistent, Consistent Marketing as Outlined in Ebook Paying Off — In Unexpected Ways

On 7/20/2011, I received the following email from a fellow SEO writer who was “persistently and consistently” following the marketing plan I outline in the SEO writing ebook. She wrote:

Hi Yuwanda,

I’ve been following your email marketing campaign advice for a couple of months now, with some success at gaining new SEO clients. The weirdest thing keeps happening, though, and I thought I’d share it with you.

I seldom get the client I target with the email campaign. However, I get another client from a referral from the client I targeted. It’s crazy – but it just happened again today! I sent out 15 marketing emails this morning. Then, this afternoon, I receive an email from a small business owner who received my name and contact info from one of this morning’s targeted clients. [emphasis added] And this is the third time this has happened in the last few weeks!

So, all that to say that clients don’t always come from the places you expect them to, but come they do, with consistency and persistency. BTW, the fellow that referred me was one I had contacted previously with no response. I thought I’d try again today, and while I still haven’t received a response from HIM, his referral is enough….LOL

Thanks for the wonderful advice and the career building inspiration! Have a great day!

Testimonial #18: So Swamped — Ongoing (Almost) $2,000/Month Order — from one Client!

On 7/21/2011, I woke up to find the following email in my inbox from a swamped SEO writer:

Hello Yuwanda,

I’m writing this letter to you to first update you on my success so far, and also to ask questions that I need the answers to soon.
I don’t have much time as I’m starting to get very busy, but I did exactly what you said to do in your ebook, and after contacting one SEO company they asked me to write 8 articles, then another ten before monday, and next week I start on writing 79 articles for the month at $25 each. I will be writing at least 79 articles each month, but probably more. [emphasis added]

Tonight I had two more inquiries. One has asked how much do I charge to rewrite an SEO article so it will pass copyscape. What should I charge? The other enquirer asked me what do I like to write? Should I base that on experience and/or what topics he might have in mind for me.

Kind Regards,
GD

Testimonial #19: Landed Client Using Sample Letter in Ebook

On 8/4/2011, I received the following email from a fellow freelance writer. He wrote:

Hi,

Thanks for the nice, simple SEO article book you put together. I’ve done a lot of freelancing in the past, some SEO articles, and am getting back into it given the dismal state of the economy.

I already got a client! Just emailing a version of your simple letter to health product firms (that’s my niche).

Question – you don’t address all those freelancing job sites out there I don’t think. Did you ever use them? I have tried a few times, but it seems like it’s always 1000 freelancers chasing 10 jobs. And half of those pay 3 bucks an article. I think it’s probably just as well to just email companies as you suggest. Esp. as I have plenty of samples available . . . . Thanks!

Testimonial #23: New SEO Writer Getting Gets $40/Article Right Out of the Box

On 10/18/2011, a new SEO writer — who didn’t even have a website yet! — wrote:

I’ve been a subscriber for a couple of years and have gotten some valuable lessons from your newsletter, ebooks and ecourses. Thank you.

I had my eye on your SEO book for a while. Finally, I purchased it in Dec of last year when you had your holiday giveaway (buy one, get one free). And finally (again) I decided that it would not do me any good to have the book and not read and implement what I read. (I have been writing for a while but really wanted to try launching more deeply into SEO.)

Okay, I got delayed a bit because of the website. (The do-it-yourself route is definitely too time consuming for me.) Anyway, last week I decided to start marketing without the website in place because I needed to get started and could use my online articles for samples.

Very early Saturday morning, I sent out a handful of emails just to get the ball rolling. Voila! I received an almost immediate response from the president of one company saying he or a staff member would be getting back to me shortly. How long is shortly, I don’t know. This morning, however, I received the following response from a different company:

Now, I had already decided that I would charge $35/500-word article, but when the question was posed I starting wondering if that was a good price. (My husband said I should charge $40). I quickly went to your site for answers and decided to purchase “Freelance Writing Advice for SEO Writers“.

Before I could even get the book downloaded and read, the client called wanting to know my rates, which I had not stated in the email.

I had to make a quick decision so I charged $40 for a single article (400-500 words) and $35/500-word article for orders of 6 or more articles. The client was pleased and promptly ordered 9 articles. (emphasis added)

Thanks again for sharing your path to success.

Testimonial #24: $5,000 in Work Lined Up; Able to Quit “Crappy Job”

On 10/18/2011, a grateful SEO writer wrote me a long email. It stated:

I expect no response, but would greatly appreciate one. Yuwanda I just wanted to e-mail you and thank you for your “How to Make Money Writing Simple 500-Word Articles” E-book, which came to me recommended by a friend.

In the past year, my wife has experienced disastrous health problems, rendering her unable to work anything other than very part-time hours at low-wage jobs. I’ve been laid off and have been doing everything possible to help make ends meet, and now I’m working at an employer who treats me like garbage. I felt trapped because as a [stated his field of employmen], I didn’t know how I would ever make a salary that would help us buy a house and lead the lives we wanted. I feared working 70 and 80 hour workweeks just to make our ends meet.

Fortunately, I have a strong entrepreneurial drive, and doubly fortunately, my friend recommended your e-book. I am pretty cynical and skeptical of anything coming from the internet, but I figured I’d give it a try. Well, good thing that happened.

I made $2000 my first month, and have $5000 in work lined up from clients who I know will pay. [emphasis added]

I have about $400 floating out there from clients who are slow to pay, but it doesn’t bother me because I have $5000 lined up with more coming in! I can now quit my part-time crap job if I’d like, but I’m still going to hang on to it for a few weeks yet. The part-time job is [job listed] rewarding, but it pays a paltry $13 per hour and most likely is capped at a maximum of $16 per hour…a poverty wage in this modern era!

Thanks to you, my dreams of becoming a small-business owner are probably going to materialize…in a terrible economy! My wife will be able to stay home from work in a few months when I have more business, and we’ll be able to live the lives we dreamed of!

I can now work 60 hours per week and make LOTS OF MONEY, or I can work 35 and not have such expensive material possessions. It’s MY CHOICE! And, given the demand I’ve seen so far, I believe that the sky is the limit! I am already looking at hiring additional writers and splitting the profits with them, just to get more business. It’s crazy!

I would call myself an above-average writer and fairly tech-savvy, however, I wouldn’t say that I’m anybody super special. Turning SEO article writing into a living is a distinct possibility for anyone who can write at about a C or B average at the college level!

Testimonial #25: “The ONLY Business I have EVER Succeeded at in My Entire 43 Years”

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I think it’s worth repeating-this is the ONLY business I have EVER succeeded at in my entire 43 years on this planet!

Sure, I’ve had plenty of “jobs” where I’ve worked for someone else and done well, but I’ve attempted I don’t know how many different businesses, from MLM (pre-internet and post internet) to affiliate marketing to I can’t think of what else off hand, but this is the only one I’ve ever been able to make a living with. And it’s not just scraping by either.

I’m making more money with this business  from my laptop in the Philippines than I believe probably 60-70% of Americans working in the U.S.-either at a job or self-employed. A year ago when I was laying the ground work for launching this, I hoped that could happen, but I think deep down I probably thought this would turn out like everything else I’ve tried. Thanks for proving me wrong!

Testimonial #26: New SEO Writer Receives First Payment Ever from a Client w/i Just 8 Days of Marketing

On 11/23/2011, a new SEO writer wrote: 

Hi Yuwanda

I had to let you know that I have billed (and been paid for) $105 in writing work for a client already. I started my email marketing efforts on November 12 and I received my first ever payment from a client on November 20.

Tonight, I have two more articles to write for two different clients. I am happy with how this is going and continue to find your blog and newsletter very helpful. In fact, I’m thinking about purchasing more of your ebooks (particularly this one on marketing emails: and this other one, How to find unpublished freelance writing jobs).

I can’t wait to expand my freelance gig even further into a proper business with its own bank account, employees/outsourced people, and the like. :-)

Please keep up the good work!

Testimonial #27: ”The FIRST time ever that I purchased Ebooks that contain what was promised”
 
On 11/26/2011 a new SEO writer who was just getting set up wrote:
 
Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!  I want you to know that I purchased two of your ebooks so far: How to Make Money Writing Simple 500 Word Articles, and The Social Media Bible for Freelance Writers.
  
This is the FIRST time ever that I purchased Ebooks that contain what was promised.  They are both the most complete and well written step-by-step guides I have ever purchased (and I have purchased a lot of ebooks regarding online businesses).
 
I decided to implement the first one on SEO Content Writing.  I don’t quite feel I ready yet for Social Media.  I am using my Engineering and Technical writing background as my starting credentials.  I went ahead and created a website/ blog at [site URL was listed] following everything you suggested.  I will be adding more samples and updating the site as time goes on.  I sent my first marketing emails to SEO firms today… I intend to send 10 per day.  I’ll let you know how it goes.  If I do get actually get business from this, I will be sending you another testimonial to let you know…. and I will be an extremely happy camper!
 
Sincerely,
