This presentation will explain the different types of freelance writing responsibilities such as keyword density, SEO content, Ezine and WordPress articles.
7. Providing a keyword rich article is something that you will have to do if you are a freelance writer. To do so is not a problem, you will receive the keywords that you need to use and their placement is your responsibility. Sometimes you may have specific instructions that the keyword needs to be in the first and last sentence and throughout the body. Here are a couple of sites where you can check your keyword density. http://www.live-keyword-analysis.com/ http://www.youcanwritearticles.com/tools/keyworddensity/ As with any article that you provide research will need to be done and an interesting and original article should be provided. Never plagiarize! Use your keyword in the article so that it sounds correct and natural. There may be a few times that the keyword may be a misspelling of a word, use it just as the client is requesting. This should give you something to refer back to if you are asked to provide a ‘keyword rich’ article. Keyword Rich Articles
8. Keyword Rich Articles (cont) Remember, most keyword rich article requirements will differ from client to client. So be aware and make very sure you have the instructions correct before you begin to invest writing time. Some clients will request a keyword rich article at a certain percentage. For those articles you will need to use a keyword density checker.

Since none of your content should ever be plagiarized you only need to be sure of the keyword density and ratio yourself.
11. Ezine Articles (cont) While the Abstract of the article will be targeted towards the publisher you only have about 500 characters to get your point across. That means you need to make it enticing and be something that urge the reader to continue reading. Again you have a limit on the description that can be provided; it should be no more than 200 characters. That is about two lines that you will have to describe the article. Keyword rich is very important here! Your keywords are the primary point of a good Ezine article and one that will help you do better in your career and bring in more clients to the customer as well. You have about 12 words for the keywords that will be able to be used. These will be provided by the client study them and use them well. For Ezine writing you will want to provide an article that will be from about 250 words at the shortest to 750 words. You will know ahead of time how many keywords are requested for that article, and normally this will not be as high as those keyword rich articles you will write.

24. Good Writing Practice Always read the rules of each project before you begin. If you do not follow them you may be asked to rewrite them. Taking up yours and others time and possibly money in penalties Failure to complete an assigned project that you request can result in loss of money for you or any company or group you may work for. Additionally, constant complaints from your clients may also incur penalties or cause your dismissal from their writing providers lists. Use an easy program such as WordWeb to be able to check spelling or use thesaurus capabilities on the fly.
25. Last Thoughts on Writing If you are having a hard time finding material on a product, check out Amazon.com product reviews. There can be helpful information there are rarely circulated items. Check out more than one review if you need more information. There may be something listed in another location that you may not have seen yet. Do not turn in ANY work that hasn’t had a basic spell and grammar check at least once. Do not be afraid to ask management for assistance or further information about a project. If they do not know, they will find out for you. Focus on your work first, if you let too much distract you, it will never get done. Or it may be low quality work that is done poorly and needs to be rewritten. This will cost you and the company money and possibly a very valued client. If you do not have the time to offer your work full focus, please do not claim it.
