Writing articles to sell on Constant Content is a fantastic career or side gig for wordsmiths and freelance writers. (Okay, I might be biased…)
But do you have a strategic approach to writing for Constant Content? Instead of waiting for a random article to sell, savvy writers can turbocharge their sales by optimizing their content creation strategy for success. Here are 5 tips to help you sell more on Constant Content.
1. The Writing Ideas Section
Pay attention to the ‘writing ideas’ section of Constant Content to see which types of content are selling. Set up Google Alerts for recently sold titles to discover where the purchased content has been uploaded online. Once you know which webmasters are buying quality content from Constant Content writers, you can craft articles for sale relevant to their websites. You already know these webmasters value quality blog posts; you can make their lives easier by creating content specific to their niche while increasing your chances of a sale.
2. Track the Competition
Track recently uploaded content in your favorite niches to monitor your writing competition. You will begin to notice patterns in topics and pricing. If you notice writers charging less for their content, write blog posts for sale on similar topics using the skyscraper technique. Constant Content buyers will notice your articles are more in-depth and will gladly pay your higher price because they know your detailed content will help them attract more eyeballs.
3. Look for Popular Categories
Monitor not only the title of recently sold content but the categories in which those titles were listed. Once you understand which categories are hot, you can pair that knowledge with trending content themes discovered via Google Trends. For example, if marketing content is a hot seller on Constant Content, search Google Trends for currently trending marketing topics. Creating blog posts targeted at hot categories and topics can help you significantly increase your sales rate.
4. Use My Projects
The ‘my projects’ section of Constant Content’s website is a treasure trove of content writing ideas. Mine this section for requested topics to inspire your writing and guide you toward potential freelance writing jobs. Notice the types of topics Constant Content buyers are looking for and then create articles on similar topics. Even if you don’t respond directly to a casting call or call for articles; simply write content on relevant topics since you know there is already a demand for those subjects.
5. Research Who’s Hiring
Keep your eye out for companies hiring content creators. From there, you can add blog posts for sale to Constant Content on those subjects and share links to your catalog on social media. Be sure to hashtag your posts with relevant hashtags to increase chances companies in those niches will discover your content, e.g. #contentmarketing, #inboundmarketing, or a sector-specific hashtag like #artificialintelligence.
