CONTENT WRITING
Over the last three years, I've been working full time as a professional content writer. That's involved everything from researching and writing SEO driven blog articles (on everything from spider bites to the physics of coffee), through producing website copy, to writing system documentation for the federal government.
I've now had a number of top ranked articles on Google. My article on "drsabcd" was the most popular article on my company's website for more than two years, currently drawing around 10,000 visits a month.
At one point, our marketing director also had me working on heavy-duty research articles - consulting with a senior lecturer to verify the content. These significantly improved the domain authority of the site.
I also have various interests and hobbies with a content writing aspect, such as writing game reviews for the social media channels supporting the monthly LAN evening I run.
​
The following articles are some of the better-performing pieces I've done in the last couple of years. Please be patient with the links - some of these are archived versions, shown as they appeared when published. As such they're a little slow to load.
