Content Marketing & SEO Specialist

About selfpublishing.com

At SelfPublishing.com, we help people turn their ideas into bestselling books — and their books into movements that change lives.

We’ve helped thousands of authors publish, launch, and grow their impact — reaching millions of readers worldwide. Now, we’re looking for a Content Marketing & SEO Specialist to help us amplify that impact even further by driving high-intent traffic, boosting conversions, and helping more authors find us when they need us most.

This isn’t just about ranking for keywords.
It’s about creating content that moves people — that inspires action, earns trust, and helps real writers make their dream of publishing a reality.

If you’re part data nerd, part storyteller, and totally obsessed with growth — this might be your dream role.

Your mission: Grow high-intent organic traffic.
That means focusing on the people most likely to work with us — not vanity clicks or empty pageviews. You’ll have full creative and strategic freedom to prioritize whatever will move the needle fastest.

We want someone who can own growth — from SEO and content to site performance and link strategy — and help us become the go-to authority in the publishing space.

• Updating and republishing blog posts to improve user experience and reader engagement (think: consolidating posts, improving CTAs, fixing links, adding visuals, and tightening up copy)
• Managing on-page SEO optimizations across existing and new content
• Executing technical SEO fixes (broken links, schema, internal linking, 301s, etc.)
• Leading backlink acquisition efforts — creating share-worthy content, infographics, and outreach campaigns that grow our domain authority
• Publishing new blog content when it supports growth goals — ensuring strong RankMath SEO scores and a smooth publishing process
• Continuously improving content quality, readability, and engagement
• Adding and updating affiliate links to maximize organic affiliate revenue
