Web Content Writing

Search engine optimisation Let’s face it.  All websites need SEO.  If a website isn’t optimised then new customers can’t ‘see’ it.  And if your prospective customers can’t ‘see’ your site in their Google searches, then what’s the point of investing in a website?

My dream web content writing job My dream writing job popped up late last year.  I’m now in my 10th year of working freelance as a web content writer and all I can say is that it’s certainly been worth the wait. Web content writing about VW Campervans And the topic?  VW Campervans!!  Amazing.  I adore […]

I’ve just created this beautiful word cloud (via jasondavies.com word generator) from words that I’ve used in my blog. And yay!!

I thought about it again yesterday whilst chatting to a […]

Apparently, this survey was ‘one of the very first examples of mass market research that asked […]

An interesting article in The Times this week by Libby Purves. She talks about the internet generation who ‘tend to believe that content – hard work created by other people – is free’, and she questions whether content will go the same way as music, films, news, photographs, i.e. ‘theirs at the click of a […]

Welcome to my newlook blog!  I’m using my blog for a random selection on all things related to my freelance work. Topics related to freelance working, copywriting, web content writing, marketing, tourism, and, most inspiring for me, all things creative.
