It should be easy for a good writer to find work because the Internet has made written content extremely valuable. The search engines love good content as anyone who reads Search Engine Optimization articles knows. Their advice to e-commerce sites is to add a blog and write journal entries to promote the products. Unfortunately most businesses expect people to write for free so they won’t even consider hiring a writer to blog for them. Instead they ask their technical staff (programmers and network administrators) to do the blog writing. Or they just steal content by putting up articles that professional writers have published.

As you can see, I wrote something that is directly applicable to the products they sell. I made the writing entertaining by telling a personal story while at the same time promoting the value of their products. It is a true story by the way. I included a link to their product page. That is very important. Always include links to the product pages. The search engines love content like this and people will be intrigued by a “cat litter disaster”. More importantly, they won’t just read it but be prompted to immediately buy floor mats to prevent their own cat litter disaster.
This blog entry appeared immediately in the Technorati’s search engine when I did a search for “cat litter” a keyword that the web site is not using:
