I was first asked to review Content Rich: Writing Your Way To Wealth On The Web by Jon Wuebben some time ago and for one reason and another I have only just got around to it. I got quite a surprise when I opened the file because while I was expecting a short ebook, this is a full-fledged book with 294 pages of useful information about writing for the web.
The Content
Now you might wonder whether you really need 18 chapters to explain SEO web copywriting. As an experienced writer I found that there was a lot of information I already knew, especially in the first five chapters which cover the basics. However, new writers would probably find this section very useful.
The second section, which has six chapters, gives a guide to different types of capital SEO copywriting. These include writing general site copy, article marketing, press releases, blogs and wiki’s, pay per click, landing page and banner ad writing and writing e-mails and newsletters. Section 3 gives examples of writing for different organisations, provides case studies and deals with outsourcing.
Navigating Through The Book
To tell the truth, I found the book a bit of a lengthy read but that’s not to say that it’s not useful. My preferred way of navigating through the content was to go to the takeaway points at the end of each chapter and see whether I needed to revisit the chapter for more information. I will be keeping the book for future reference, because it covers a couple of markets that I haven’t yet tackled and I think it will provide a useful starting point for entering those new areas.
To Buy Or Not To Buy?
Should you buy this book? I think it has a lot to offer new writers and has decent information on alternative markets for existing writers. However it’s not as easy to read as other writing books I have reviewed. That said, at either $10 or $19.99 (depending on whether you pay the sale price or the full price) it’s a small investment in your writing career and is good value for money, because you are sure to get a handful of tips that you can use to improve your writing career.
