Writing For Internet Marketers
Internet marketers need a regular supply of relevant, original and unique content if they want traffic to get to their websites, and for those websites to be ranked will by the Search Engines.
Because they are ‘ideas’ people, internet marketers are not necessarily great writers. And in this business it is best to play to your strengths. If writing is not your thing, then outsourcing makes sense.
By spending your time on what you enjoy, what you are good at, is a smart way to work. Outsourcing your writing and article distribution is a great first step – but why stop there? You should outsource things like bookkeeping, database management, Search Engine Optimization – the list is endless!
>>Internet marketers: Outsource your writing
The Value Of Outsourcing
As more and more internet marketers look to outsource their writing to me, it became obvious that I would need to start outsourcing myself if I was to stay on top of my business.
I’ve never been a numbers person, and while I can manage my accounts on a month to month basis (I would dedicate a day to this each month), I found that my brain was constantly reminding me that this task would soon need to be done, should be done tomorrow, should have been done yesterday. I’ve found that with each new grey hair I earn, my brain’s bandwidth decreases, and the fact that it was using space thinking about my bookkeeping meant that I was being hampered in doing the things that actually make money and that I enjoy – writing and marketing.
So this week I called on a buddy of mine, and she is going to take over my bookkeeping, from July 1. You have got no idea how good that feels! I’ve already given her an overview of the different types of transactions internet marketers can have – in my case Clickbank, Elance, Paypal, direct deposits etc, in both Aussie Dollars and USD. That she will soon be up to speed on some transactions that are very IM focused means that she will be ideally positioned to become a “bookkeeper for internet marketers” – her own little niche! (And guess who will build her webiste!?)
I am looking forward to the new Aussie financial year without the spectre of bookkeeping to distract me, and knowing that I can show one more person how to make money from the internet.
Overnight Writing Income
Have you always wanted to have your own business, but the set up costs made it out of the question? Would you like to work from home, but don’t know how to start?
Well, just a couple of years ago that was me too. In the last two years I have learned so much about writing for internet purposes. I understand the huge opportunities that are available for everyday people, like me, to earn money by providing writing services for internet marketers.
Everyone, from retired folks, stay at home parents, students and those confined by disability can start earning money by writing – no experience necessary. If you have the
willingness to start small and build up your clients, you can start making money right away.
In Overnight Writing Income I’ve listed the resources you’ll need (and the set up costs are……. zero!). I even show you where to go to get work, and some tips on winning these freelance jobs.

Webinar – Internet Marketing Writing
Aussie Heather Richards has commenced a great Webinar series “Successful Women On The Web”, and I was very flattered when she asked me to be her guest presenter on the topic “Writing For The Web”. Now I have to tell you, this was the first time I’d ever held a webinar. I no longer blush when I have to speak in front of a group of people – mastered that one – but running a webinar was a real learning curve.
I tried to explain to my 84 year old mother just what a webinar was, and just when I thought she understood, she asked “So where do you go to see these people?”. So if I felt it a learning curve, imagine how she felt? So I decided she just had ‘to be there’. I picked her up and brought her to my home for a sleepover.
Heather and I had done a glitch-free run through earlier in the night, but I realized that because I would have a headset and mic on, Mum wouldn’t be able to hear anything apart from my voice. So out came my netbook and another set of headphones. I registered her for the webinar and then about 15 minutes before the start time, I logged in. And waited, and waited…..
Finally Heather phoned me to ask where I was! Turns out I logged in in my mother’s name and it was now a few minutes past start time, and I wasn’t there. So the first few minutes of the recording (link below) was poor Heather juggling the spanner I threw into her works. Sorry again Heather!
Anyway, the webinar went very well, and the feedback has been great. So many questions – not just during the webinar, but ongoing.
Here is the link to the webinar, where I share some really good tips for anyone writing for the internet, especially internet marketers!

Writing Brief
When outsourcing a writing project, it is really important to provide as much information to the writer as possible.
Consequently I have put together a Brief, which covers most of what I would need to know. Obviously depending on the project, you won’t need to provide all of the information, so completing it to the best of your ability is all that is needed. Anything more, and I will ask.

Interviewed by James Schramko
How flattered was I when my mentor, and best client, James Schramko, asked if he could interview me about my book Overnight Writing Income?! (The answer, of course, was VERY.)
James is one of the top internet marketers in the world today and I’m proud to consider myself one of his ‘success stories’. With his constant encouragemet, I morphed from a part-time tour director/receptionist to the owner of a very successful writing business.
The interview is here – I hope you enjoy what I have to share:

So make sure you take Kerry up on her writing and coaching offers - she’s really good, and I highly recommend her services."
"My partner and I own and operate a small gym in the centre of Sydney - a very competitive market to say the least! We had spoken to so-called SEO and Google experts for months and they told it would take months to get the first page of Google for our keywords.
Well now they have not met Kerry Finch. Using Kerry's article writing and distribution service we hit page one within 3 weeks and we had not use any other SEO strategy at all.
To top that, she is a wonderful lady and so, so, so helpful.
My advice stick to what you know or what you do best, and let others do what they do best.
I very highly recommend Kerry to anyone looking to kick butt in any market on the net.
"
"I’m thrilled to tell you that your advice has made a huge increase in my income! You know that I had already fumbled around and found some useful information on my own, and had some money dribbling in.
But with just a few nuggets of your wisdom and advice, I’ve landed two long-term writing projects just this week! (I equate everything to bills- so these two projects
will pay our mortgage payment)
My next goal is to re-read Overnight Writing Income and find more golden nuggets to put to use padding my bank account!""
"I am new to internet marketing and needed some good articles and blog posts to get me started. Kerry was incredibly helpful, and her service was exceptional. Her articles and posts were not only well written but covered different aspects of the topic incredibly well. Publishing the articles according to Kerry’s suggestions has resulted in driving extra traffic to my site, resulting in increased sales of my eBooks. I couldn’t have asked for more! If you are looking for high quality articles, great service and speedy response, then Kerry is your gal!"
