Freelance Paper Jobs Versus Freelance Web Jobs

Writers and freelance writers

Freelance writers have existed for a long time. Ever since people started to write, print and read newspapers, magazines and other paper periodicals, a new profession was born among writers – the freelance writers. One may choose to be a journalist, editorialist or a writer for a specific magazine or newspaper, and earn his living from a single source, dedicating his or her writing talent to a single publishing periodical. But one may also choose to write for several papers or magazines at the same time, devoting his or her writing skills to several publications and maximize his or her earnings at their full potential.

For instance, a talented writer starts to work as a journalist or a reporter for a weekly newspaper. This means he or she will probably have a weekly column and will write one article per week with specific requirements as to the topic discussed in the article, the length, the media support and so on. There may intervene the situation when the said writer is not really satisfied with such a frequency (one article per week only), and the earning potential that comes out of such a writing job, so he or she would look forward to a more challenging writing career. What is the solution? Freelance writing. You may start as a writer within a publication where you can write one article per week, but you could apply for more writing jobs for different papers and magazines, with different frequency, and from one article per week you could get to write much more – a bi-weekly magazine, a monthly magazine, a daily paper, just to give an example. The sky is the limit. No one says a writer, a journalist, a reporter or an editorialist must resume his or her writing for a single publication. Why waste your writing talent and skills when you could do so much more? Ambitious freelance writers will always try to extend their writing portfolio as much as their time, energy and talent allow them.

Freelance web writers and their freelance web jobs

But all of that was decades ago, when the internet was non-existent and the power of the writing word was limited to paper publishing – newspapers, magazines, books. In the last 10-15 years, when the internet expanded to such extend that nowadays one couldn’t possibly imagine one’s life without internet, freelance writing developed as well, and what once was only readable on the paper and reached out to its readers through paper channels, now it’s on the web, through your home computer. Writers are not just freelance writers anymore, they are freelance web writers, they have freelance web jobs, and they have the opportunity to apply for even more freelance web jobs. Since internet and information speed era started, everything became so much easier and more convenient, including freelance writing. To be able co complete your freelance web job(s) successfully, you don’t need to get out of your house anymore, you don’t need to run to and fro to gather the information you need for your article(s), you can do it from the comfort of your home, working on your own computer, with your own schedule, all this thanks to the greatest invention humanity has ever achieved – internet, the connecting people motor, the never-ending source of information. And just as freelance writers did once, when they wrote for more than one publication in order to exploit their writing talent at its full capacity and maximize their earning potential, so do freelance web writers today – they write for as many online publications as they can, pursue as many freelance web jobs as possible, and they are the only ones to determine their limits.

SEO Writers

Why It Is Important to Use SEO Techniques in Writing

What is SEO?

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is one of the most important features in web writing. Search Engine Optimization techniques are those writing techniques that make sure a web content is found by online search motors; and in order to assure that, the SEO writer uses relevant and adequate key words related to the written content and its topic. The number of used key words in a specific content or contents is also important, as the more relevant key words used, the bigger chances of that specific content to be found by online search engines. In other words, an SEO writer is a professional writer who writes web content based on Search Engine Optimization techniques. Due to the fact that SEO techniques are only relevant (or possible) online, SEO writers are exclusively web writers.

What should SEO writers do?

For instance, if an SEO writer creates a content on “Back to school” topic, the main key word in this case could be “school supplies”, and so the SEO writer should use a high number of key words in each passage throughout his or her article, and search engines will pick this content and include it in search results. Also, another way to enhance and optimize a content from the SEO technique point of view is to use related tags and other key words relevant to the topic, like (following this example) “school”, “students”, “teachers”, and so on.

It is the responsibility of an SEO writer to include relevant key words in his or her content when writing for a website, but not in a obvious and too insistent way. A website content shouldn’t sound too insistent to the reader, because this technique usually tends to be disturbing to the reader rather than attracting. When a reader comes across a well written web content after an online search, he or she shouldn’t have reasons to think that this is an article or content which was written based on obvious or too insistent SEO techniques; the reading should be at ease.

Every online writer should use SEO techniques in writing

As a freelance writer, you should seriously consider using SEO techniques in your online writing. For those who write online, respecting SEO guidelines is of a crucial importance. Incorporating relevant and adequate key words and tags in your writing (in the headlines as well as in the content) will bring more exposure to your content while searched on the internet by readers.

Freelance Copywriters

What Does Being a Freelance Copywriter Mean?

Definitions of copywriter

What is a copywriter? The term of copywriter has many definitions nowadays. Each of these definitions describe the term of copywriter in different ways, more or less distinguished from one another, but the bottom line is that all the definitions of this word say the same thing – a copywriter is a person who has the skills of writing for the purpose of promoting.

Some of the most widely accepted definitions of the term copywriter are:
A person who makes use of words to promote a person, business, idea or opinion. It may be applied for content intended for printed word (books, newspapers), as well as for the other media – TV, radio, web.
A person who writes creative and compelling text for a website.
A person responsible for writing advertisement texts or other promotional material and generating creative concepts, often in collaboration with a creative director or an art director.
A person who masters the art of writing sales and marketing related materials.

The importance of copywriting

Copywriting is used in every major area of business like advertising, sales letters, business plans and so on. Many do not understand the importance of copywriting, but in truth it has a crucial role. Copywriting is not just “write”, it means to write in the best way so that the text catches the attention of the targeted audience. It means to use the best writing skills in order to promote and make known the desired content, material, product, business, idea, opinion. It means to optimize the writing for SEO purposes. For example, a freelance writer will write an article for an online publication, but a copywriter may make some changes to the said article (by adding relevant keywords) or change its title in order to make it more searchable on the internet. A writer will write a web text, but a copywriter will enhance it to be more attention catching and attention retaining.

Freelance copywriters

Just like writers may want to choose a freelance career, so will freelance copywriters. Just like a freelance writer, a freelance copywriter may choose to work for different publications in order to extend their copywriting portfolio, and why not, earn more money. Being a freelance copywriter can be a career just as satisfying and rewarding as in the case of a writer. It demands high skills from many points of view – perfect grammar and spelling, creativity, attention to detail, open mind, out-of-the-box thinking; and the career opportunities for freelance copywriters nowadays are just as many and varied as those for writers.
