Hello! I’m Ruth Komu, a highly skilled SEO content writer, virtual assistant, and digital entrepreneur with over seven years of experience in content creation, social media management, and virtual assistance.
My passion lies in helping businesses establish a strong online presence, increase traffic, and optimize their digital operations.
My journey in freelancing has been a transformative experience, allowing me to expand my skills and gain expertise in various aspects of digital marketing and remote work solutions.
From writing high-ranking SEO articles to managing WordPress websites and providing administrative support, I have carved a niche as a reliable and results-driven freelancer.
My Journey into Freelancing
I started writing professionally seven years ago while still in university. My first clients were Kenyan entrepreneurs who sought well-written content to enhance their online presence.
I got my initial projects through referrals, and our work discussions were mainly held on WhatsApp.
My introduction to SEO came through a client who emphasized the need for search engine-optimized content. This was a turning point in my career.
I immersed myself in SEO strategies, researched best practices, and applied them to my work. Over time, I mastered keyword research, on-page optimization, and link-building techniques that helped my clients rank higher on search engines.
The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated my career growth. I discovered Upwork, where I landed direct clients and expanded my expertise to WordPress content management.
I also started offering virtual assistant services, including email management, data entry, and social media management, which enhanced my versatility as a freelancer.
