There’s a difference between an article writer, an SEO writer and also a blog writer. Some writers have the capability of alternating their styles to suit the requirements of the clients. Ideally, you should use different writers for your articles, SEO content and blog but this is not the rule of thumb and I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of ever hiring a content writer who can write for all of the above.

For a start, I’ll explain a little about what is required from the writer for each of them

Article Writers

Article writers are required to write for a wide range of people who are interested in the topic that they are supposed to write on. Article writers usually write for newspaper columns or magazines. Hence, the article writer needs to, usually, find topics and delve into it more deeply than other types of writers.

SEO writers

Essentially, SEO writers are supposed to write for the search engines. But because the search algorithm for many major search engines have changed over time, an SEO writer needs to write forBOTH the search engines AND the readers. Search engines like google.com forces SEO writers to write proper and informative articles instead of stringing senseless words and keywords together to make content that doesn’t make sense at all to the readers, much less enticing.

Blog writers

Blog writers is a new bunch of writers who are usually hired to write content for blogs. Because these writers are usually hired to write for a particular company or industry, they have to consistently search for information relating to the business of the website and keep their eyes and ears open for interesting news. Blog writers are usually people who are either hired to write from the office of the client or online freelance writers who deliver articles on a daily basis.

As you can see, what is required from each type of writer is different, hence, it can be quite difficult to find and hire a freelance writer who can fit all the bills above…to get personal with the readers, to keep themselves in the loop with search engines and also to understand the nature of your business and company.

But like I said, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of ever finding and hiring a freelance writer who can do all. My advice would be for you to give the freelance writer a chance to write a few articles for you for your website and blog; then you can gauge whether the writer is suitable or not. Thread cautiously especially if you want to hire a writer online. Do as much homework as you can on the freelance writer before you hire the writer.

The missing key for many is Twitter.  Do you know that you can have your articles at EzineArticles go directly to Twitter?  AND you can have your WordPress blog posts go directly to Twitter?  What does this mean to you?  More exposure for you.  If you have the Twitter widget on your blog, you have a full circle viral marketing system in place because your articles will then come back to your blog.

The strategy for articles and blog posts automatically showing up on Twitter is to go to Twitter and tweet about them after they appear automatically.  Talk about them, explain them, do whatever you can do in the 140 characters you have for a Twitter micro-blog post.

How do you accomplish this automatic Twitter posting?  It’s really quite easy.

• Go to your profile manager in EzineArticles and put your Twitter username and password in the space provided.  Your newly approved articles will now go to Twitter as micro blog posts.
• Get the TwitterTools plugin for WordPress and install it.  The only option you want turned off is to create a blog post from a tweet.  Do have your blog posts sent to Twitter and do use the Twitter sidebar widget.
• Write lots of articles and blog posts, go tweet about them and watch your presence grow.
