Amy Solovay’s Writing and Content Marketing Portfolio

I currently work as a freelance writer, search engine optimizer (SEO), content marketer and content strategist for a variety of clients including media companies, enterprise brands, and digital marketing agencies. If you’re interested in seeing clips of my work, I invite you to check out the following examples:

My Contributions to the Blogs at Gander Outdoors and Overton’s

The day before my husband, Mike, and I set sail to cross the Atlantic Ocean in our Peterson 34, I spent the morning shopping for last-minute essentials at the Gander Mountain Sports store in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Since then, the company rebranded; it is now known as Gander Outdoors. Years after our Atlantic crossing, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to write for the Gander Outdoors blog. The blog posts I wrote for them have since been moved to Overton’s blog.

• 14 Must-Have Pieces of Gear You Need for a Long-Distance Boat Trip
• What Is the Cause of Most Boating Accidents?
• Boating Laws & License Requirements for All 50 States
• How to Tie Nautical Knots

I’m knowledgeable about a broad variety of outdoor sports and enjoy writing about sailing, boating, kayaking, rowing, wakeboarding, water skiing, hiking, camping, mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding.

My Contributions to Workology

Business management is one of the topics I write about most frequently. Before I began freelancing, I completed Nine West Group’s management trainee program and worked at a couple of jobs that required me to manage other people. I draw on these experiences frequently in my writing:

• Viable Strategies for Managing the Talent Gap in Healthcare Staffing
• 3 Tips for Making an Unplanned Career Change

Glam.com Feature Articles: Fashion, Beauty, Relationships and Lifestyle Topics

I’m currently working as a feature article writer for Glam.com. I contribute articles about fashion, beauty, photography, relationships and related lifestyle topics.

Please note that Glam.com feature articles are collaborative. One or two Glam.com editors typically work with their writers on each article. I honestly wish the editors were given an “edited by” credit because their contributions to each article are substantial.

The following links will take you to several of my favorite Glam.com contributions:

About.com Crochet / The Spruce Crafts

I managed the Crochet.About.com subdomain from July 2009- July 2014. In 2009, the New York Times Company owned About.com, and it was a Comscore top-100 web property. In 2012, IAC acquired the network. IAC later migrated some of my content to thesprucecrafts.com and rebranded the network as Dotdash Meredith.

My primary responsibilities as an About.com Expert:

• Keyword research; on-page and off-page SEO
• Writing, editing and posting content including long-form articles, short blog posts, and a weekly email newsletter
• Creating photos and charts to accompany the written content
• Managing the subdomain’s infrastructure including landing pages
• Social media marketing with the goal of increasing pageviews and newsletter subscriber count
• Managing other writers’ and pattern designers’ contributions to About.com’s crochet subdomain

A couple of my favorite contributions to TheSpruceCrafts.com are as follows:
