In the world of digital marketing, where the average internet user makes more than 30,000 micro decisions and scrolls 300 feet of social media content per day, that statement has never been more true. Getting noticed means not just building good content, but building content that your target audience actually finds.

In 2023, I raised my rates from an average of $.25/word to $.50/word. I was having panic attacks and sweating profusely when I had to tell clients what my new rate was. So, while you might think all you have to do is raise your rates and you’ll make $1,000 a post, the raising your rates part is the RESULT not the action. You have to do certain things to command a higher rate with your service to make money as a writer.

When I asked earlier this year what you’d like me to write about, Michelle suggested I share my experience of posting on LinkedIn.

Discovering relevant keywords with decent search volume that arent already flooded by your competitors can be like finding a needle in an internet-sized haystack. However, adding AI into the mix is the equivalent of using GPS technology to pinpoint the exact location of the needle, saving you countless hours of searching.
