Do an Internet search on “hiring a freelance writer” or anything similar, and you will find millions of links to job boards, freelance writer sites, message boards and all sorts of other trails to lead you to various sources. You will find freelance writers, no doubt about that, but what kind of writer are they? Are they fluent in English (American English is very different than British English), do they do the work themselves or outsource it? Do they charge per piece or per word? What is their turnaround time? How do they handle revisions?

These are things you may not have considered, other than price.

Most people and companies that hire freelance writers have learned these lessons the hard way. So, in an effort to save you some money, as well as time, I am going to give you some pointers!

* When you contact a freelance writer for the first time, or post a project on a job board, give the details of what you are looking for! One writer may be terrific at SEO and keyword content, but if you want more of an opinion or humor piece this writer may not be ideal for you! If you give the details (topic, keywords, length) upfront, the writer will be able to assess your needs and quote you a price accordingly. I turn down projects on a regular basis – not because I like turning down money, but rather because if it is a topic totally foreign to me, or one I think will be better written by a specialist in that area, I will tell you. I would rather refer you to another writer and be remembered as the writer who was professional and you want to come back to do a different project with in the future, then take the project and do a horrible job, earn a lousy reputation and have a dissatisfied customer!

* How do you intend to pay your freelance writer? I, along with most freelancers, prefer Paypal. Many established, reputable writers will require a deposit. Don’t let this scare you. My deposit has been as low as $5 and as high as $2000. I am most likely to charge a deposit if I have not worked with you in the past, if it is a large project or if you failed to pay me for a previous job (in which case the total amount is due upfront). If you are a company which pays only by check, make sure you give the company contact information to the writer you choose to hire.

* Should you pay by the word or by the piece? It depends on the individual writer. I do both, depending on the client and my mood. Most of my work though, is by the word – and I charge between 10 cents and 30 cents per word. This is not uncommon for a quality freelance writer who is experienced, educated and takes pride in their work. If you have a budget, give a word limit (which you should anyways, otherwise you’ll either end up with a thesis or a five sentence article!)

* Why should you pay $50 for an article, when you can buy one for $1.50? Once you have purchased a $1.50 article, you will have your answer. Quite often, super low rates are a sign of overseas outsourcing (meaning your article will sound as though its been written by a foreigner and the grammar, while perhaps technically correct, feels “weird”) or it is a new freelance writer who has no clue what they are doing. I can say that, because I’ve been there. You want a writer who knows what they are doing, knows how to provide superior customer service and meet a deadline and knows how to write clearly.

* Ask about revisions! Many writers charge a fee for any revisions you request. I do not, unless you want a totally new piece written. But if the changes you want made are relatively simple, and are not going to take all day, they are included in my price.

* RIGHTS! Unless you SPECIFICALLY state in a contract that you as the buyer retain all copyright to the work, the writer is allowed to sell the work to someone else. If this is important to you, make sure you specify rights privileges in your contract!

I hope these tips give you some guideline on what to expect when you hire a freelance writer. I am always happy to answer questions (even if you don’t hire me!). I can be reached through my website – http://debbie.panell.googlepages.com/home

Take care, and good luck in your search for a freelance writer!

SEO article ghostwriting involves hiring a freelance writer or team of writers to produce regular web content for your company.  This content will help increase your traffic, earn higher search rankings and drastically improve conversion rates.  The question now is, since you know SEO article ghostwriting can be valuable, just what kind of ghostwriting are you searching for?

For starters, you can choose to do one of two things: you can hire your own freelance writer to ghostwrite your articles, or you can order a batch of articles from a Search Engine Optimization company that also writes original content.  If you choose the latter, a team of writers will be assigned to you.  There are advantages and risks to involved by selecting an individual.  Let’s consider a few advantages and disadvantages of hiring an individual for SEO article ghostwriting.

When you hire an individual writer for SEO purposes, you run the risk of hiring either a very good or very bad writer in terms of quality.  With an individual, you have no guarantee.  An SEO company usually guarantees their ghostwriting quality and can make revisions as needed.  Obviously, an SEO company lives or dies based on its reputation.  An individual writer is working by the job and can easily make a hundred different names for himself, so reputation isn’t all that important.  Sometimes you’ll luck out and find a really good writer to work with…but often times, you end up having to interview three or four individuals before you finally find someone you can count on for SEO article ghostwriting.

An individual freelancer may or may not cost a lot of money, depending on the quality of his/her writing and experience level.  Most writers charge by the article or by hourly rate.  Either way, this has the potential to be a great expense.  Some writers will charge $10-$20 an hour, while others will charge $5-$20 per 400 word article.  Most writers will not perform additional HTML programming, whether due to lack of technical experience or because they want additional payment.  This is a significant advantage in working with an SEO company.  You can get discounts on bulk packaging and instead of paying a lot of money for a dozen articles you can get hundreds of articles that cover an entire year’s time.

Never underestimate the quality of SEO article ghostwriting, as this will be what earns you big traffic and high conversion in the end.

However if you are looking for SEO services in totality you can hire the services of an SEO firm and they will do the work for you.

If an office experience is not to your liking, there’s nothing stopping you from trying your hand at earning as a freelancer. Just keep in mind that two important things that keep your finances healthy, as a freelancer, is resourcefulness and time management. You’d need to keep finding ways to get jobs.

You’d need to know your own mind and body’s work and rest periods, so you complete every job you take, and get enough rest and amusement. In this article are recommended sites where you can get jobs that you can do at home, and more or less on your own pace. Remember, as a freelancer, you lose the routine job hours (and office politics) that a cubicle nine-to-five jobs offers. So it’s up to you to be resourceful.

Below are some resources at your disposal. Go to each of these sites to see what they offer. You can even Google up reviews and feedback about them, just so you’d know what you’re getting into, or missing out on.

GetAFreelancer. Think of this place a market where people who needs things done and people who claim can do them meet and negotiate. People post jobs and job details, and people respond by bidding on those jobs. You’d have to create an account so you can take part.

Sometimes, you don’t get chosen for projects. After all, there are always people who started their careers in web design or search engine optimization or layout and graphics, or web content writing — all earlier than you.

Make sure that when you bid, you highlight your relevant skills and experience, and that you’re respectful and brief. It also helps to know your place, meaning your bid. Don’t bid too high if you’re not that much of a veteran.

Craigslist. There’s almost no one who surfs these days who doesn’t know about Craigslist. The idea of an online classified jobs bulletin board has been replaced by that term. Here you’ll find man’s job postings, most of them related to web design and web work. It also has many people looking for freelance writers as content is always needed.

There are jobs not so related to those design fields, so you can still hunt a bit here. You’ll meet people who are honest and willing to help.

Sriptlance. This website is similar in concept to GetAFreelancer and just as legitimate. Also, anyone who’s been both to GAF and Scriptlance would recommend the latter to any service provider, regardless if you offer web work and design, or SEO and web content writing.

You can even opt in on email services wherein your get notified via email about new jobs. Emails sent like this happen often every three days, and carries notifications on about twenty-five jobs that fit your job category. You even get info in bids and project deadlines.

Forums. Forums are cool places to hunt for online jobs. You can post the kind of service you offer, your past work or portfolio, including your professional fee and contact info, and interested parties will send you word about the jobs they need, either as part of the forum thread or as private message. A forum called NamePros is recommended, as it’s legit. Naturally there are other forums out there. You’d have to try them out and read up on feedback on posting job services there, just so you won’t miss out on things.

Don’t even think that this list as an end-all. There are bound to be other sites on the web where you can get jobs. You just have to be a tad resourceful, and maybe stubborn. Keep trying. Keep building your portfolio of jobs (if you just started).

And keep meeting deadlines and making clients happy (if you’re a semi-veteran). After all, there are no more routine work hours that shackle you. Whatever you do are decisions made based on your capacity to do the work offered and your peak work hours. Enjoy being a freelancer!

There are many popular casino-style games, but nothing matches the growth and popularity of poker and how poker influences society. Poker writing covers limitless topics in the gaming world; and poker writing can be a blend of journalism, feature writing, sports writing, entertainment writing, travel writing, food writing, technical writing, and so on, depending on what you choose to write.

WHAT DOES FREELANCE POKER WRITING INCLUDE?

You might think “freelance poker writing” is exactly that: writing about poker games. You might also think poker writing is about writing for one specific market: poker magazines. This might have been true years ago, but not so today. The expanding market of online and offline poker and gaming magazines is one small fragment, out of dozens of paying markets, to find freelance work. The Internet has spawned many online writing opportunities, such as blogging, writing for poker and gaming websites, self-publishing, and writing SEO articles for companies and affiliates. And “poker writing” is more than writing about the games of poker. Poker writing encompasses the influences of poker, such as entertainment, technology, psychology, law, lifestyle, money, travel, and so on. Writing about poker and gaming, along with their influences on society, is limitless.

Many successful freelance writers tap into an arsenal of online and offline media outlets to sell their work, not just to poker and gaming magazines. Their recipe for success is simple: they write varied topics related to poker and gaming that don’t just fit into a specific poker magazine, but also fit (with some reslanting) into many other non-poker magazines and media outlets (i.e. trade magazines, regional magazines, newsletters, tourism guides, newspapers, websites, blogs, ebooks, etc.) that cover varied subjects (such as gambling, gaming, professional sports, sports betting, travel, lifestyle, women’s issues, money, finance, real estate, hobbies, and so on).

WHY POKER IS ON THE MINDS OF SO MANY PEOPLE

To write about poker, you need to know why it is on the minds of so many people. Why all the excitement? What do players see in a little game of cards? Many people fall in love with playing poker because it challenges the mind; poker games are thrilling and competitive; and let’s face it, we love the winnings. The winnings in poker games, even online, can trail with many zeros. What other game can you play with a $40 entry fee and win a couple of hundred thousand dollars, or as with WSOP winners, several million? It’s what lures the crowds to the game. Once players begin to play, everyone is a legend in their own mind. The enticement and excitement of winning drives players to want to play more. Typically, players just play more and more once they discover Texas Hold’em.

Even if you aren’t playing poker for the money, you will quickly become aware of the jackpots of money that poker players play for online and offline. Many people play poker because of the great challenges of the mind. Amarillo Slim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amarillo_Slim), another legendary poker player once said, “Poker is a game of people….It’s not the hand I hold, it’s the people that I play with.” Most of the older players do play with dollar signs glinting in their eyes. On the other hand, if you read some of the articles written about Slim in the past, you’ll discover he enjoyed beating his opponents as much as anyone else.

Guru.com, CraigsList.com and Elance.com showcase job postings for many different freelance opportunities. If you have the skills to write on gambling, specifically poker, then you’ll never be short on writing gigs.

In fact, a search on a handful of job boards produced many writing opportunities, from blog posting, to writing articles on poker games and strategies.

POKER WRITING OPPORTUNITIES

If you want to write about poker and gaming, the opportunities are there. If you are educated about poker and you can write well, the opportunities will be endless. However, you have to be better than average to earn a decent income as freelance poker writer. You must know your “stuff” in this field.

Writing about poker and its players requires you to learn about the games of poker and about the players whom people want to read. For instance, Doyle Brunson and Amarillo “Slim” Preston are two old timers who many consider two of the last living legends of the game. However, Brunson pulls a crowd more so than Preston. People look for articles, books and information on Doyle Brunson because he is still an active player in Las Vegas. Furthermore, Brunson lives where poker rooms are on every corner, whereas Amarillo Slim lives in, well, you guessed it-Texas!

A freelance poker writer has many opportunities. For starters, a poker writer can write from home because of the online games and tournaments. The online poker rooms (the ones offering the large satellite tournaments) are newsworthy as are many of the sit and go tournaments that offer large purses. Writers find ample topics and stories to pull from in this capacity alone. People want to read what’s going on in the online poker rooms. As a new writer, you need to write as much as you can on the subject of poker no matter where people play it.

In addition to the newsworthy opportunities online, web content is a huge marketplace for freelance writers. Writers who can write content-rich articles related to poker and gambling are in high demand.

To succeed as a poker writer, you will need to find your niche. However, you don’t necessarily have to stay within your niche market. Many writers will write on poker and cover online and offline games. They’ll cover the World Poker Tour for an offline gambling magazine one day and write an informative “How to Spot a Poker Cheat” article the next day for an online website. Poker writers like the ability to remain diverse but it pays to have a niche.

For example, there are several writers on Elance.com who write web content for gaming websites but still pick up a couple of writing gigs offline in magazines and for newspaper articles. Respectively, several notorious authors and professional poker players write primarily as book authors and authorities on their game but occasionally they will snatch a writing column for an online poker website.

Don’t fool yourself into thinking the gigs you have online will allow the offline writing jobs to fall in your lap. You have to keep your options open. You will need to apply for most of the work you get, even after you become well-known within the industry. However, if you’re good, you’ll very seldom face competition for the writing jobs you want.

When you become established in your niche, clients, editors and colleagues will willingly generate referrals for you. In fact, if you are well-informed and can stand out as a leading authority on poker, you can create your own jobs if jobs don’t randomly come your way. You’ll be able to query an editor with ideas and convince the editor to publish your articles. You may be able to query a book publisher with a manuscript idea and have it accepted for publication.

In addition, the offline writing jobs on assignment are often lucrative. Most of the writing jobs on assignment will allow you to live like a high roller, or at the very least, a low roller with some great perks. Poker writers normally stay where the action takes place, which is commonly in a casino. If you’re covering a World Poker Tour event, you’ll likely stay in upgraded casino accommodations; after all, the casino knows you are writing on the event and they’ll likely want you to plug their plush rooms and their many amenities.

On assignment writing jobs will enable you to eat in marvelous dining restaurants, stay among the upper echelon of poker players in suites or upgraded rooms and enjoy hosted parties among poker players. Writing on assignment as a poker writer enables writers to stay in some of the most elegant resorts in the world while enjoying the lifestyle of the pampered poker player. And trust it when you see it in magazines and hear about it online, these professional players are pampered.

Before you obtain your first job assignment as a poker writer, you need to learn all you can about poker. Read everything there is to read. Listen to everything and anything you can on the subject. Flip on the TV set and watch some live game coverage and learn the terminology. Poker tournaments and poker coverage are constantly on TV, especially in the evenings and on weekends.

PERKS OF A FREELANCE POKER WRITER

Poker writers who travel to some of the casino destinations hosting world events such as the WSOP (http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com) or the WPT (World Poker Tour – http://www.worldpokertour.com ) find they can enjoy a lifestyle many freelance writers dream about. Not every freelance writer can endure the schedule of these writers. However, if you are a writer who can face the unpredictable scheduling of events in the World Series of Poker, have a great personality and excellent people skills, then your chances to live a jet-set lifestyle in the world of poker is better than what many writers might think.

Life is better as a poker writer than it is in most areas of writing. You will be rubbing shoulders with people in Sin City and many other casino destinations where money is no object. Remember, money is no object to a great number of poker players. Stakes are always high. With that in mind, remember who you are and where you are. Remember to capture the story, and not the party.

You will get a free ride pass as a poker writer if you can achieve a name for yourself in the poker world. You will have the things only high rollers can get just because the right people want YOU to remember their name. Naturally, this will only happen after you become recognized as a poker authority. If you strive to achieve it, you will know what the inside of the suites at the MGM and Paris Las Vegas look like because you’ll be staying in them. You won’t walk or hail a cab in Vegas. You’ll be riding in a limo, free of charge. Best of all, when you are on a job, you will drink and eat what you want and never see a bill. Welcome to success. Revel in it and know you’ve worked hard for it.

In many cases, these writers still provide quality-written work for SEO.

However, if a client requests the writer to provide keyword-stuffed articles with a certain (keyword) density, then the writer is at the mercy of the client. Crafting keyword-stuffed sentences into a well-written article is hard. Still, both article types – magazine-quality articles and SEO articles – pay the bills. If you become a freelance writer who can swing to one type and then back to the next, then you will receive steady paychecks. The commodity you need will be time.

Here are a few things you should know if you decide to write magazine-quality articles or SEO content for websites:

1. Web content will likely range from 100-1000 words depending on what your client wants.

2. It will either be keyword-enriched or informative. Ask your client what his goals are and what he wants to accomplish with his articles.

3. Topics will range around keywords in most cases.

4. If quantity is worth more than quality to your client, then make sure you protect yourself. Don’t use your name. Use a pen name. There’s nothing worse than to ghostwrite a lot of keyword-stuffed articles aimed at search engines, and then to hit a major book deal and find your client had (accidentally) attached your byline to those non-informative, (almost) meaningless keyword-stuffed articles.

5. Topics for web content are wide-ranging.

SEO writing is an excellent way to break into freelance writing but it will not make you a recognized writer. Most of what you will write will be from the technical angle of search engine optimization.
