The New Year is almost here and many are turning their dreams of owning an online business into a reality. If you're a freelance writer looking for blogging jobs, this presents a perfect opportunity. Following are three ways to sell your blog writing services to online entrepreneurs.
1. Sell Blog Packs: Blog packs are simply selling blog posts in sets. For example, you may sell a pack of 3 or 5 or 10 or 20. Packaging and selling blog posts as packs is to your advantage, as well as potential clients. Following is why.
Why Blog Writers Should Sell Blog Packs
Simply put, you make more money when you sell blog posts in packs. As a freelance blog writer, the more money you can make from each transaction, the more profitable you will be. So, try to sell a week's worth or a month's worth of posts at one time.
This way, you can market less and make more money - which is a great way to maximize your time.
Pitch the service to prospects in the following manner: "Get a steady flow of traffic to your blog quickly and easily. Order a month's worth of blog posts for one low price."
Why Selling Blog Posts in Packs Appeals to Potential Clients
For clients, purchasing blog posts in packs frees them to focus on other things. One thing many new online entrepreneurs come to realize very quickly is that updating a blog is time consuming. And, many turn to freelance writers to update their blogs with fresh content.
2. Offer SEO Blogging: What is SEO blogging? Simply writing blog posts with SEO concepts in mind - i.e., paying attention to keyword phrases, keyword density, placement of these words and phrases in the posts, etc.
Many blog owners are so focused on keeping their blogs updated with fresh content that they forget to keep SEO in mind.
You can remind them of how important this is. This instantly raises your credibility in their eyes - putting you head and shoulders above other freelance blog writers - making it easier for you to land more blogging jobs.
3. Offer Multi-tasking Blog Posts: What do I mean by this? Make one blog post serve multiple purposes.
For example, one of my clients owns an internet marketing firm. He commissions blog posts in sets of three. I write one post three different ways for him. He uses one to update his blog, one on his website and another to submit to article directories.
You can offer this same service to prospects. Again, this will make you stand out among other freelance blog writers because you show them how to get more bang for their buck.
The New Year is a perfect time to start marketing for blogging jobs -- and other freelance writing jobs. The ideas outlined here will make you stand head and shoulders above other freelance writers who are also looking for blogging jobs.
