Editing & Writing & SEO

SEO (SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION)

Website SEO

Your pages and posts require management in terms of properly keyworded titles and relevant meta data (description). When you have 1000+ pages, posts or videos to go over, it’s just a pain, especially when you have to search for relevant keywords, compare competition and try to make sense of all that in a small space of a <meta tag>.

  • Size: 100-200 characters
  • Pricing: $0.082/w

YouTube SEO

In order to be found, you need to put words people are searching for. This is what Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is used for. You make a video, but you don’t put in the right words, so traffic doesn’t occur. Is it even surprising?

In order to rank in between the search results of Google and YouTube, you need proper titles, descriptions and tags. We take the topic of your video and give it the best keywords that’d make it relevant and tasty to the organic searches.

But remember, ranking isn’t everything, since you can have thousands of impressions with very low % of click-through-rates. This is why we can also aid you with catchy thumbnails to the delight of those whom you want to reach.

FAQ

Ghost Writing?

When something is written for a client, it can be done so anonymously (ghost writing), which makes it seem like the client wrote everything themselves. This can be applied to any service, for an extra cost. But it doesn’t differ from what you’d usually get, as it only excludes crediting the original author (in this case Inlet).

What about editing with the writing service?

Every writing service includes full-on editing. Whatever you’ve paid for will be delivered fully edited (this doesn’t include formatting for publishing, unless asked for).

Licensing?

You retain exclusive rights to your ideas, story plots and so on that would be given for writing services to Inlet. The only time Inlet can acquire rights to the finished material or material-in-progress is when the client forfeits payment or asks for a refund. That copyright only extends upon the work that has been done. It doesn’t give Inlet the copyright to take your ideas and plots even when the aforementioned has happened.

EDITING

Line Editing

Sentences carry bloat and confusion when they are drafted, and if they aren’t carefully considered and analyzed the problem usually remains. Line editing reduces confusion, removes contradicting ideas from the text (like Bob changing his eyes’ color from one paragraph to the next) and streamlining for a fully desired effect upon the reader.

In short, line editing ensures that your message will be understood, while also fixing any grammatical, punctuation and spelling mistakes.

Developmental Editing

The process of refining or generating ideas, expanding upon them, making sure they are consistent and fleshing the story or idea up. This includes scripts for movies, videos, articles; characters, worldbuilding and story plots.

Without this things can end up making no sense. Plot holes will occur and your idea will end up being generic and cliché.

Copy Editing

Grammar, spelling and general readability of the text is what copy editing entails. It shouldn’t be confused with Line Editing, as here it’s all about fleshing out any mistakes, yet not considering issues of bloat or contradicting ideas.

  • Price: $0.018/w

Proofreading

Even if Copy Editing is meant to remove all errors, Proofreading is essentially the last step to fleshing out a manuscript or article. Little typos or grammatical slips can hide themselves in plain sight, which is why Proofreading is the backup of any perfection. It’s also good work-ethic after line editing or copy editing, a manuscript or article, to wait an X-amount of time before finalizing with proofreading.

Formatting

Depending on how you want to publish your work, formatting takes the role of preparing it all for the desired delivery. This takes into account creating an Index for all your pages and their headers, your main page for Title, author and copyright, the style of your paragraphs in regards to indentation, spacing and page layout. It can be a gruesome process if you don’t have the right software or experience.

When publishing to Amazon, you’ll be required a .pdf and a Kindle e-book variant which has to be separately formatted with Amazon’s software. When uploading there usually are errors in how things look, so there’s quite some back and forth.

So Formatting is the last step before publishing to your readers, whether on a blog, on Amazon, to a prospective job or anywhere else.
