I’m a writer, dammit.

So goes the conversation with almost every writer I coach when I mention SEO and other ways to market their writing online.

Unfortunately, for anyone publishing their work on the internet, SEO has to be an integral part of any online marketing strategy if you want to gain new readers, views, and subscribers.

Google is constantly tweaking their search engine algorithm, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t certain steps you can take to help you rank well in the SERPS regardless of what new updates Google releases.

Follow this simple SEO checklist and you’ll see your blog or website rise in the rankings — no in-depth SEO knowledge or mastery required.

1. Write to Topics Not Keywords
