The story of a mom with no experience facing SEO, which I couldn't write a single millimeter of💭
SEO was just too much🤦♀️
Yes, it's me, Yusuzu, the mom with no experience🙋♀️
It's been two weeks since I started as a web writer.
I hit a wall immediately.
SEO articles are just too much😇”
In the first place, I prefer writing emotional pieces.
I can write relatively smoothly about my own experiences or things I've thought about.
But SEO articles have headings, structures, search intent, and so on...
And this time, I was assigned 3,000 to 4,000 characters, which I didn't expect.
No, that's too loooooong😇😂
I've never even written a long piece like that before😭😭
Anyway, at first, I only had a sense of being bad at it, and I fell into a state of“What on earth should I start writing from...?”state of mind... Honestly, I felt like I was going to break out in hives.
No, I think I probably did😇🤣
Test writing and feedback session
But thankfully, I was given the opportunity for test writing and feedback.
The interview date was also set.
Once I got this far, I had no choice but to do it.
Or rather, I had no choice but to do it.
It was completely driven by momentum.
The pressure of having to finish a character count I'd never done before in about three days.
At first, I just stared at the computer screen with my hands frozen.
Since I had been given the theme, I searched for it, thinking, "I guess I'll just look it up..."
A negative loop where my hands stopped even more because I thought, "Hmm, I'm not interested in this...😇"
I thought I was done for on the first day.
But once I actually started writing, it was strange...
Unexpected realization
Even though I thought "No way!!!" at first, before I knew it, I had written 2,000 characters🤣
The reason is that before writing the main text, Ithought about the structure firstLike "I'll write about this here" or "I'll write a concrete example next,"
"where to write what"
was organized. Furthermore, the moment I started including my own observations, my hands suddenly started moving.It was painful just listing information, but once I started thinking, "Why is this popular?" or "What makes it feel like the current era?" it started to become fun...🤣And before I knew it, I had exceeded 2,000 characters, and I was able to write the remaining half smoothly✍🏻"Wait, am I actually able to write this...?" I thought😂
Thoughts now
Of course, I'm still not good at SEO.
Even now, I'm supposed to be writing an SEO article for my portfolio, but I'm here escaping reality🤷♀️🤣
But this time, I was able to think that"disliking something doesn't mean I have no talent for it"Maybe I was just
"not used to it"The sense of accomplishment when I finished was amazing, and it led to a little bit of confidence.Of course, I'm still a beginner with little experience.
But it was my second week where I realized that it's important not to just end with "I can't do it because I'm bad at it," but to try facing it for now✍🏻
