Make Money Fast With SEO

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is an easy way to make fast money. If you can string a few sentences together, you can make money with SEO content.

What it is:

Many websites have ad content on them. Things like Google Ads pull information from the site’s content in order to place the most relevant advertising. Websites that have a high keyword density in a certain niche can get better ads, with higher click-through payouts.

Some website owners know what their keywords should be, but don’t have the skills to write them coherently into web content. So they outsource the work to freelancers.

The good side:

There’s plenty of work to be had out there. It’s pretty easy for a competent or even semi-competent writer. Check out Craigslist writing gigs and every day you’ll find dozens of SEO writing jobs. You’ll write five or ten SEO articles, bank a hundred bucks, and move on to something else. In this economy, take easy money where you can get it!

The bad side:

The pay is shit. You’re looking at a max of about eight cents a word and most of the time it’s more like one or two. Sometimes you wind up sacrificing style for keyword density, leading to awkward phrasing. Clients seem to think you can manage a keyword density of 15% in a 300 word article without sounding like a dolt, and unfortunately that’s usually not possible. It’s writing prostitution.

The bottom line:

It’s fast, easy money in a pinch. It isn’t Shakespeare.
