Jon Morrow – Content Marketing Certification

Would you like to get results like those?

Yes?

Then let’s not waste time beating around the bush. This is my promise to you:

Take the content writing certification program available on this page, follow the directions, pass our certification exam, and I guarantee you will recoup your tuition in 6 months.

That’s not a typo — I said 6 months. Yes, it’s real, and yes, it’s realistic. That’s all it takes to start making money on the side as a writer.

And the money is GOOD!

The kind of gigs I’ll show you how to get pay at least $200 per article. Sometimes $500 or even more.

That kind of money can really add up, especially when you have one client who needs 2 articles a week…another client who needs 5 articles this month…and another who wants somebody on retainer.

But the truth is, this isn’t just about money. It’s about freedom, it’s about doing what you love, and it’s about taking control of your life so you can steer your future in the direction YOU want to go. Let me explain…

If You’re A Writer, This Is The Fastest, Simplest Path To The Lifestyle You Want

Getting this Content Marketing Certification will provide you with a ton of flexibility and options in your career and your life.

Once you start reeling in writing clients, you can go in several different directions.

You can continue building up clients in your free time, and eventually transition to become a full-time freelance content writer or even start our own content marketing agency.

Then you’ll be able to live the freelance lifestyle while working from anywhere in the world — Hawaii? Italy? Bali? New Zealand?

All you’ll need is a laptop and an internet connection.

Or you can use your new experience and connections to land a high-paid new gig as a content marketer. As you can see, the demand for these jobs is high and shows no sign of slowing down:

Or you can do what I did:

You can use freelance content writing as a stepping stone to get paid while you learn how to start your own blog.

Most people do this backwards by starting their blog first, and then trying to learn how to make it successful. Meanwhile, they end up working really hard without making any money or gaining any traction.

But if you spend some time as a freelance content writer first, you can get PAID to learn — and then, when you’re ready, you’ll be much better equipped to start that blog and find success much, much faster.

No matter what your eventual plans are, here is the most important message for you:

This is your chance to make a great living doing something you’re passionate about.

And isn’t that what really matters? So many people spend decades working at a job they hate, and it’s sad — because that doesn’t have to be the case.

You CAN make a living as a writer. And in fact, it’s a lot easier than you might think.

The $412,880,000,000 Opportunity For Writers

There are a lot of people out there who love to write, but they just don’t know how to get started.

They’ve been led to believe — and maybe you have, too — that there just aren’t many high-paying opportunities for writers.

After all, isn’t it really hard to make a living as a novelist, screenwriter, or staff writer for a magazine or newspaper?

Well, yes. It is. But those are only a few types of writing.

If you want to make money as a writer, go where the money is. And today, the money for writers is overwhelmingly in one place:

Content marketing.

Content marketing refers to writing online content — such as articles, videos, and social media posts — that is designed to generate new website traffic, leads, and customers for businesses.

And the demand for content writers is exploding.

Between 2020 and 2025, the global Content Marketing industry is forecasted to grow by $417 billion (that’s more than the total GDP of Ireland):

You might be wondering…

Why is content marketing on such a steep growth curve?

I’ll tell you why.

Because in a nutshell, content marketing is an incredibly valuable service that helps generate real revenue for businesses. It’s one of the most effective and efficient ways for companies to generate new leads and customers.

Research from Demand Metric reveals that content marketing generates 3x more leads than traditional marketing…while costing 62% less.

That being the case, you can understand why — according to the research from HubSpot — over 50% of marketers say that blog content creation is their top inbound marketing priority:

And you know what those marketers need in order to create this content, don’t you?

Yep. They need writers.

When you put all these pieces together, you can see why I believe so strongly that the demand for writers today is greater than ever.

It’s enough to make you wonder…

Why Aren’t More Writers Doing This?

It’s a good question.

Remember, content marketing is growing FAST. There’s a rapidly increasing demand for writers, and the right companies are paying handsomely ($200+ per post).

So why does this opportunity seem like such a secret to most writers?

Well, I’ve thought about this a lot. And I’ve come to the conclusion that there are 3 BIG mistakes most writers are making with content marketing.

1.) First of all, many writers don’t even realize there’s an opportunity here. Or they don’t realize what a huge opportunity it is.

Luckily, this is no longer the case for you. 

2.) They don’t have a proven system for creating high-quality content that businesses need.

Sure, they might be good writers. But good writing, on its own, isn’t enough.

You have to know how to write according to the most common content frameworks that have been proven (over and over again) to work online.

The good news is that once you DO have a system like this, content writing becomes much faster and easier — because anytime you get a new project you’ll have a step-by-step framework you can use to create content that your clients will love.

3.) Finally, another BIG problem most content writers face is that they don’t know where to look for good clients.

So they end up looking for work on sites like Fiverr or Upwork, getting paid $60 per post. They work way too hard for no reward, end up getting burnt out, and eventually they give up or move on to something else.

And that’s a real shame. Because if these writers only had a proven system for creating content that works online, and a way to get in touch with good clients (the kind that pay $200+ per post), it could completely transform their lives.

Remember that the need for content marketing is going to more than DOUBLE from 2016 to 2023.

That means there’s actually a shortage of writers in the content marketing space. And that’s why, if you love to write…and if you’d love to get paid to write for some really cool companies…

Then NOW is the time to get started. Because on this page you have the unique and rare opportunity to take advantage of this demand to…

Make A Great Living Doing What You Love!

Just like Mel Wicks, who wrote in a comment on one of my blog posts:

Or Sarah Peterson, a writer I trained to now makes over $1,000 per post writing for companies like Sumo.

These are just a few examples of writers that I have personally trained, helping them to make more money, launch an exciting new career, and enjoy more freedom in their lifestyle.

At this point you may be wondering: who am I, and what makes me qualified to teach this stuff?

That’s a fair question to ask. So let me take a minute to tell you a little bit about myself, and why you should trust me.

At One Point, I Was Probably The Highest-Paid Content Writer In The World

To give you an idea of what I mean by that:

When I quit being a freelance content marketer in order to start my own business, I was charging $5,000 per post. 

It’s an almost unbelievable-sounding sum, I know. I hesitated to even mention it here because I know some people won’t believe it.

But it’s true. I was able to charge that much — and still attract plenty of clients — because the traffic and engagement that my posts generated made them well worth the price tag.

I spent years working as a content marketer, helping to build companies like Copyblogger and KISSmetrics into the big and influential brands they are today.

After that I started Smart Blogger because I wanted to teach other writers — people like you — how to do what I did.

Today, Smart Blogger is one of the most trusted names in content marketing. Every month I get emails from some of the world’s biggest influencers and most exciting companies, asking me if I know any good content writers.

That’s part of the reason why I’m creating this certification program. To help connect businesses to high-quality content writers that I feel confident recommending.

Let me take a minute to explain how that’s going to work.
