OFW Speak

Way back late 2007, I already started blogging, but I still don’t have any idea how to earn money online. Late 2007 was like the era of Pay-Per-Click scams and Data Entry bogus, so basically blogging is the most popular overrated way of earning online.

What I didn’t realize, search engines require sites to have contents in order to be indexed and ranked for in their results. And that is where article writers come in.

My perception of article writer before was to work in an office with bunch of materials to read and summarize and then submit for proofreading. My perception changed when a friend of mine finally introduced me to a site that accepts aspiring and newbie writers.

The site requires a resume from you to be posted. A prospective client then contacts you and asks you for a sample article or a test article to be written.

I started writing for clients in an internet café before as I build rapport and experience. It took me half a year to master the basic Search Engine Optimized article principles. Those types of articles are what most clients are looking for.

Search engine optimized articles are contents that revolve around a particular topic or niche with targeted keywords to rank for. It also has some detailed and specified mechanics, an example of which is that the first sentence of your article must contain the keyword to rank for.

You will eventually learn more about how to be a good article writer, and how to write search engine optimized articles when you are already on the battle field. As they say, experience is the best teacher.

As long as you keep your grammar and spelling checked, you are all good!
