Article & Blog Writing Portfolio

I’ve always loved writing and find it really amazing that I can help my clients get noticed online through my content!

The writing style I’m most comfortable with is very straight forward and conversational. When putting together an article or blog post I always try to come up with interesting stats, screenshots and/or concrete examples to back up my writing.

I’m also aware of S.E.O. / search engine & conversion optimization best practices, as I have been studying these for several years. For example, I have followed best practices while creating my introductory guide to Twitter, which features:

  • mentioning the keyword within the first 100 characters and throughout the article;
  • interesting & eye-catching title;
  • detailed & useful content, which provides value to the reader;
  • writing for the web – using simple, clear language and short sentences;
  • splitting of big sections of text by using several paragraphs, different types of formatting and media (e.g., lists, colors, embedded presentations, images, etc…);
  • links to authoritative sources;
  • a relevant call-to-action;
  • image optimization;
  • etc…

I’ve written articles & blog posts in both English and (European) Portuguese, in these niches: marketing; entertainment; fitness; apps; webdesign; health; music; law, and personal development.

Here are some of my published articles/blogs in the English language:
