Online Marketing

I think I already told you about our next-door neighbor Bro Jhun, if not just click on the link. He is a SEO specialist,he owns the domain http://www.eyewebmaster.com/ and while I was at their place last Monday night, he talked about opportunities that online marketing can offer. In short, he told me to polish my skills in writing so that I can work as an online writer for SEO.

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, in lay man's term is that  for example, you "googled" about "budget hotel in cebu"  when you pressed the enter key, there is a long list of links that will direct you to hundreds of websites . Human as we are, we tend to click on the first few links until we stop .  If you are a owner of a hotel and you want the world to know in addition to making sales, with the magic of a SEO specialist, the link to your website will be the first on the list of links.  The result: more traffic to your website. More traffic means many people visits your website and comes to know more about your hotel.  

And that my friends is what you call online marketing. 

There are thousands of business establishments around the world, and if they want to make a website, for sure they need somebody to write articles for their web page.  

If only I paid more attention to my Language, Communication Arts, and English teachers , I would have loads of confidence to be a writer.  But then again, there is no skills in the world that can't be learned. 

If you have a knack for writing ,why not try to read about SEO and how it works, and try to write something about it, 

There are three reasons why SEO Writing is becoming a trend in the online community.

1. FLEXIBILITY: There is no specific time for you to work, as long as  there are projects that you can work on, the better. If you are a housewife with kids, you can squeeze in writing while the kids are asleep.  For students this can be an added income and can help them finance their school.
2. HOME-BASED : You will be free from worrying what to wear for the next day . No rules. It helps you develop discipline.
3. SALARY: Trust me, your efforts in writing an article will not be put into waste as the pay is way higher than the minimum-wage . 

When you are in the Philippines, in order for you to survive, you need to exhaust all your talents and efforts to earn extra money to survive.  

This is one way that you can actually say to yourself, that all those student years writing Formal Themes and Essays certainly was worth it.

Good luck!
