Personal Training Certification: Everything You Need to Know to Get Certified As a Personal Trainer

I ghostwrote this article on fitness trainer certification for thetide.co. I had to do quite a bit of research. The client wanted me to utilize several SEO keyterms, so I incorporated them naturally into the text of the article.

I'm quite comfortable writing product descriptions of all sorts: beauty products, decor, furniture, and more. This rug is part of Drew Barrymore's exclusive home line. I wrote the copy for it, balancing the need to incorporate product details, SEO keywords, and brand voice.

MoDRN Glam Ava 4pc Aluminum Sunbrella Cushioned Conversation Set

An $800 patio set is a significant investment for the Walmart customer (especially for an online purchase), so in this product description, I provide as much detail as possible. That way, the customer is well informed before making his or her purchase.
