I have several years of experience working at an SEO agency and two years of copywriting experience. I also have an MFA in creative writing.

Does anyone have tips on how to find freelance SEO writing projects? I like my job but would like to be able to take on extra projects here and there when I have time.

Hi, here are a few ideas:
1. Network with SEO folks on LinkedIn, especially in-house ones. They’re usually working with and /or looking for freelance writers.
2. Write for SEO publications like SEJ, SEL, Moz, etc. SEOs will reach out to you from your author profile.
3. Share SEO content writing and optimization tips and your experience on your LI profile with the right hash tags. You’ll automatically attract traction and inbound leads.
4. Find some interesting content projects on upwork and build your portfolio. Publish this portfolio with links on your personal website.
5. Blog on your personal website, prompt visitors to subscribe to your blog, and overtime you’ll see leads come in, as visitors find value in your content.
6. If you’re only looking for light work on the side, skip all of the above and reach out to digital marketing agencies in your area with your portfolio and some references.

Hope that helps!

Currently working as an in-house SEO for a big ecommerce company (fortune 500). Currently earning 65K CAD. Contemplating a position for SEO manager on another company, SaaS B2B, very small office (<50people), pay around 80-100K. It's not a startup.

Did anyone made a move like this? From a big company (SEO team has 5+ people) to a very small company? I'm worried about job security and how stressful this new position would be, considering I'll be the only SEO professional there.

Hi all! I've got an SEO question I'm hoping someone can help with:
How do you choose keywords to target in a blog when you're writing a blog that appears on multiple country specific versions of a given website? Do you use a mix of keywords from each region/country in one blog, or create different versions of the same blog with slight keyword differences based on the country?
Feel free to DM me if you want! thanks in advance from an entry level content marketer. :)
