So now you know what not to do create a blog in which you can showcase your writing skills. As this is for SEO you will need to show:
- your work is genuinely engaging and valuable (ask some of your friends to share the work on Facebook/Google+ to help you out and then have Facebook/Google widgets on your site to show it has been shared).
- you research pieces and then provide links/citations to them within the text of the article (as per the blog post link above or like this: http://searchengineland.com/googles-matt...s-187122). See how the writer references external sources, other people and other content that he has written.
- your work is easy to absorb - break your text up. Short paragraphs. See how BBC and CNN do this.
- your work is interesting to view - include images - photos, diagrams, potentially even YouTube videos that support what you are writing about and break up your text further so it doesn't look so heavy.
- your work is readable - ask a friend or someone in the family to read through your work for obvious errors.

Avoid Ezine for advice - it's a very spammy site. Stay off the freelancing sites as they are over run with very poor quality content writers working for peanuts or websites who want to fill up their sites with anything that resembles a bunch of sentences so it could take you a while to pick up any genuine work.

If your work is taken and placed on a content farm that will also reflect badly on you.
