As a professional financial writer and analyst, I survive and thrive on web traffic. Nothing spells doom quicker than producing content that no one cares about. In my early goings at InvestorPlace, it was difficult to gain traction. I had boundless abilities to put up story after story, but the internet is an extremely competitive arena -- too often, we're inundated with junk or fake news. That makes finding truly worthwhile content almost impossible without a dedicated SEO marketing team.
Fortunately, the folks at InvestorPlace know what they're doing. In my two years there, I have jumped from being a "proprietary" commodity to one that is featured and republished on multiple networks. My proudest achievement was finally getting onto to Kiplinger, one of the most renowned names in the financial and investment sector.
