If you’re interested in freelance writing and do any type of web surfing on this niche, you’ve probably run across job ads that read something like, “Looking for an SEO article writer to provide ongoing content for credit repair site. 350-400 words; ongoing weekly assignments.” This is an SEO writing job.

As there seems to be a lot of work out there like this, many freelance writers who keep running across ads like this may go to their favorite search engine and start to do web searches on “seo writing, or “what is seo writing,” or “writing for seo,” or writing seo” in order to figure out exactly what this is.

Here we’ll explain exactly what SEO copywriting is, and why it’s such a profitable freelance writing niche.

SEO Writing Defined

First, SEO is the acronym for search engine optimization. Don’t let the big term throw you. All this means is that website owners do certain things to their web pages to make sure that search engines find them and deliver web surfers – like you – to their website when they conduct internet searches.
One of these things is filling their site with SEO content.

SEO content is different from “regular” content in that some technical research and thought goes into the copy – before it is ever written. Mainly, keyword research is conducted.

What Is Keyword Research and Why Is It Important in SEO Writing

The best way to explain keyword research is to give an example.

Let’ say you own a website about credit repair. You offer credit repair services to consumers with bad credit. You have a website, but it’s not getting much traffic or bringing in much business. One of the things you can do is write informative content and put it on your website to drive more traffic. But, not just any informative content – SEO content.

When/if you hire an SEO copywriter, one of the first things they’re going to do is find out which words and phrases web surfers are typing in to find the types of services you offer (credit repair, remember).

Note: The words and phrases that web surfers type in to find stuff on the web are called keyword phrases. Remember this.

Keyword Research Tools

So, they’ll use a keyword research tool that will show them things like which keyword phrases prospects type in when they’re trying to find a businesses like yours. And, many times it’s not what you think, which is why keyword research tools are so popular.

FYI, one of the easiest and best keyword research tools to use is Google’s Keyword AdWord Tool.
Once they find out what these keyword phrases are, they will write copy for your site that includes these phrases. This is what’s known as SEO content.

And, the reason it’s so effective is that search engines don’t have to guess which sites might be relevant when a web surfer types in a keyword phrase. If your site’s copy has the right keywords in it, it’s easy for search engines to return your site as a relevant search result.

This equals more traffic, which of course usually means more sales.

And, this is why SEO writing is an exploding niche in freelance writing. Many search engine optimization (SEO) writers make $50,000 to $75,000 – or more – their first year. As every site on the web needs this type of content, it’s easy to see why this is so possible.

If you’re interested in this kind of freelance writing, get SEO copywriting training. Usually it lasts about a week, and you can start making money almost right away — really. Most SEO writers say they land their first clients within the first few days once they start to market.

There are various methods for growing your internet MLM business. The latest trend today is that of attraction marketing that uses the Law of Attraction for MLM prospecting and recruiting. The Law of Attraction states that ‘you are a living magnet’. There is no MLM training that will teach you these basic principles for improving your MLM leadership skills. However, they are very useful for a MLM consultant for increasing his recruits.

You may have taken to MLM sponsoring for a number of personal reasons. But the main reason why you have become a MLM consultant is to earn a constant flow of income that you can rely on. The greater number of recruits you have, the more you will earn. Now how do you go about employing the Law of Attraction in MLM prospecting?

The first thing that you need to do for generating MLM leads is build a friendly relationship with them. Nobody likes to be bugged by desperate network marketers for signing up with them. Such a MLM consultant generates sympathy since he has adapted the law of attraction for MLM prospecting. When you put attraction principles and pre-selling together, it makes a wonderful mix for MLM recruiting.

Pre-selling acts as a foundation for getting MLM leads. If you start your phone call in a sales pitch, praising and persuading the network marketing opportunity, your probable downline might have already distracted quite a while back. Never lead the call with your self, your company or the products that you are selling as a MLM consultant. The secret behind effectively using the principles of the law of attraction is to focus on the prospect’s desires and goals.

Using Twitter as an Attraction Marketing Strategy: 4 Simple Steps

Kerri — Sat, 23 May 2009 13:00:51 +0000

There are various strategies adopted for generating leads and increasing sales by MLM leaders. Nobody would have thought some time back that a social communication site such as Twitter would play an important role in the area of attraction marketing. Here we present to you how you can make the most of Twitter as an attraction marketing strategy for your benefit in four easy steps.

Step #1

Always keep in mind that you are using Twitter for building long-lasting relationships and not just for generating business. It is not to be employed for direct marketing. People don’t like to maintain a relation with somebody who sends spam mails or one who is constantly trying to advertise his business. So use Twitter with discretion for creating an expert image for yourself.

Step #2

The next thing to do is decide well whom you are going to follow on Twitter. It is advisable that you follow someone that has matching interests as yours and is in the same business. For instance, if you are into direct sales of cosmetics then it would be fitting to follow another person that is into direct sales only. This way you can get guidance and profit from other people’s experiences.

Step #3

For achieving success in attraction marketing it is not necessary to keep on posting tweets or updates all the time. That is not going to help. Your posts should be valuable and of help to others. You can try and enter into conversations with those you follow and let them know your thoughts about a certain issue. You can share other helpful tools and information with them too.

Step #4

Before following others on Twitter you need to do some preliminary work. Firstly, register for an account and post a few tweets on it. It is better if you can add a link to some related topics in your niche so that visitors know who you are and what you do. Then you can scan for other people who work in the same area as yours and follow them. It is a great possibility that they might follow you back.

In network marketing, the very first thing you would have to think of is on how to develop an automatic MLM prospecting system which can be summed up into these words: MLM lead generation. A popular way to do this is through viral marketing, which is a technique in marketing aimed to promote brand awareness and increase it through social networks. Viral marketing can help in automatic MLM prospecting or MLM lead generation either through the so called word of mouth or a popular medium nowadays which is the Internet.

Viral marketing motivates people to spread the marketing message not in a forced way but voluntarily. Activities such as creating E-books, sending text messages, creating interactive flash games, are just a few examples of viral marketing activities that improves MLM lead generation and may also be a tool in MLM downline retention because downlines who see that the network marketing firm has a more popular brand would be more motivated to work hard and stick with the program.

Automatic MLM prospecting can be produced by viral marketing because the more “popular” a campaign is, the more people would be interested in joining. We also have to remember that psychology plays an important part in viral marketing wherein people would like to be “in” with the crowd and so if word of mouth spreads that a particular network marketing business is successful or gains more profit, then dozens and dozens of interested people would sign up.

Today, the Internet has been the most used viral marketing medium and a lot of network marketers have found success in terms of automatic MLM prospecting, MLM lead generation, MLM downline retention, etc. through utilizing online tools and programs. If you would want to start or join a network marketing business, apply the viral marketing techniques mentioned and see the difference they would make.

4-Step Lead Generation Technique

Kerri — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 18:08:53 +0000

One of the ways to build a long term business is to have a good database of contact list and also to teach your downlines build a list as well. I learnt from a personal mentoring workshop with Internet Super Affiliate Ewen Chia that the first thing is to put a form or squeeze page before the actual product/services that you are promoting.

When your website visitor submits the form then they are redirected to your business page ( in this case your MLM opportunity page). This way even if they don’t join you immediately, you would have gotten their email addresses which you can follow through.

In order to put this in place, you need the following:

A form/pop up/video/audio in your squeeze page to encourgae visitors to key in their emails
An automatic email responder that will send a welcome letter immediately to your prospects
Redirection to your main business page
Instant notification to you that you have a lead

The best way to set this up is to use an autoresponder. I recommend 2 of the best:

Aweber : $19.9/month for 10,000 leads
Grab That Lead: $9.97 for Platinum for unlimited leads.
Free membership available too.

10 Lead Generation Techniques To Turn 93% of Your Prospects To Downlines

Kerri — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 21:47:33 +0000

Here are the killer tactics that you must use:

Exchange links with other website owners or entrepreneurs that share the same target market as you, but are not your competitors. For example if you are promoting vitamins, you can find link partners from websites that market health equipment or fitness programs.
Offer a free 7 day e-course. Educating your prospects is the best way of convincing them. If you can offer something that they are interested in or a solution that helps to solve their problem, they will gain more confidence in you.
Establish a good rapport with your leads by by sending them a weekly newsletter for as long as 6 months. You may think that the 7 day short course is enough, it’s NOT! It is important to keep them informed about your business progress and offers regularly so that they will buy from you whenever they are ready.
Use an autoresponder to automate the delivery of your newsletter / e-course. This is a no brainer. How else are you going to send your emails on time and keep track of who has read what?
Always use an email signature. You probably send out at least one email each day, your email signature is one of the best and free advertisement tool.
Request for testimonials from your clients and downlines. People need social proof before they commit to any group. Testimonials from your downlines who can vouch for your dedication and leadership in the business are the quickest way to get people to join you.
Start a blog or write articles. The fastest way to be recognized as an MLM leader is to share your experience. Not only will you get free exposure from your writing, if you can give valuable information, most people will regard you as an expert in your field. This is where attraction marketing is at work, so instead of you going after prospects, they will come looking for you
Submit your articles to article directories and social bookmarking sites. With the rise of web 2.0, linking multiple sites to your main opportunity website becomes much easier. When you submit your articles to various directories or social bookmarks, the search engine will index your main website much faster
Conduct a webinar or teleclass. This is by far the fastest way to attract prospects to join your business. Each attendee is a new lead and you can even leverage on them to bring in more people. If they have benefit from your online seminar, you can offer them a special discount or privilege pass for your next event on the condition that they bring a friend.
Participate in active communities. Join discussions in forums or social networking sites where your target market gathers. Don’t be too eager to promote your opportunity. People don’t buy from people they don’t know, so position yourself as a solution provider and offer free consultation to gain trust.

3 Secrets To A Consistent Flow Of Eager Customers To Your MLM Business

Kerri — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 18:16:00 +0000

In the first MLM business that I signed up with, I struggled a lot in getting leads and finding customers. However in recent years I have discovered the secret of using the internet to promote my MLM business. The internet has not only changed the way I get downlines but also helped me save time and cost in my marketing efforts.

Although there are many companies selling MLM leads, I rarely use them. The reason is I am skeptical about the quality of those leads. I wonder if the MLM companies themselves are using the same leads that they are selling to me? Most likely they are not.

From my experience, I realized that it is much more effective to build my own database of email list. These leads that I have acquired are generally more responsive. Through my regular follow up with them, most have become my friends as well as loyal product users for my MLM business.

So how do you generate leads through the internet? This is actually a very simple process as there are an abundant of tools and services available in the web that you can use at almost no cost. It is also much quicker now as compared with years ago to get yourself started with the necessary tools for lead generation — even if you have no experience promoting online.

Secret #1 : Sign up for an autoresponder account
An autoresponder is a software program that captures emails from your website and lets you send sequential emails to your subscribers. By using an autoresponder, you can automatically follow-up with your potential customers using pre-written emails.

Secret #2 : Build an optin-list of qualified leads
An optin list is a database of targeted buyers whom you have persmission to communicate with on a regular basis. As the saying goes: The Money Is In The List. The success of any internet or MLM business owner is directly related to the responsiveness of his/her optin-list. The question now is how to develop an email list of eager customers?

Take a look at your email inbox, do you receive tonnes of emails daily that you have either no time or no interest to go through? If you ask yourself why you don’t bother to open those emails, then you can learn what NOT to do when you set up your email marketing campaign.

Therefore it is often not enough to just collect email addresses, you want your subscribers in your list to look forward to your emails and click on the links that you are offering! The only way to achieve that is to periodically send your subscribers valuable information relevant to your niche market. Don’t just focus on promoting your MLM opportunities in your emails. People get sick of hype-filled sales pitch and will eventually unsubscribe from your list if they feel that you are just trying to sell to them all the time.

The easiest way to provide useful information is through newsletters. Post interesting articles, tips and multi media materials such as videos or audios on your website in the form of newsletter. You can then include some promotional advertisement about your MLM opportunities in your newsletter. Announce to your subscribers whenever you publish new information on your newsletter, this will eventually build trust as your subscribers gain confidence in you as a leader.

Secret #3 : Encourage your subscribers to share your newsletter with others
When you offering interesting information, it is only natural that your subscribers would want to keep coming back for more and even share it with their friends. However, you can increase that viral effect by making it easier for them to tell others, some tips are:

add a tell a friend form on your website
write a short report for easy distribution and downloads
start a referral contest

There are many other strategies available in the internet quickly generate a consistent flow of leads. In order to maximize the power of internet marketing, it is necessary to explore and experiment various methods that suit your MLM niche.
