Washington DC-Baltimore Area
I'm a direct-response writer who uses words to create imagery in people's minds so they'll take action. Click here, join now, do this, do that. Website content, e-mail, or whatever way we deliver the message, It's all about getting the reader to take the next step. When we understand how to connect with and help the reader, we can inform them how we can help and then persuade them to take action. Ideally, I'd be thrilled to work with organizations whose missions are socially or environmentally positive or in the wellness industry informing consumers of the benefits of daily fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness practices.
In addition to the content and SEO work I've done for my business, I've worked with organizations to reach their audiences and persuade them to take action. Most notably, I've worked with the manager of The Park Regent Apartments in Washington, DC, to develop a simple SEO-rich website to increase their SERP results and persuade potential renters to make appointments to tour the building. Additionally, I wrote a tenant association recruitment letter delivered to each unit of the Park Regent, resulting in more than the minimum number of residents required to form a tenant association. Additionally, I consulted with the tenant association president to create a website where tenants could join the tenant association and pay optional dues. Also related to the tenant association, I helped the president of the tenant association select and implement an email service as a way to communicate with the tenants. Specifically, we created a landing page where tenants could join and get on the list to become informed about events that affected the building. We also collaborated to create a Google group where tenants could communicate with each other. The creation of these avenues of communication resulted in a vibrant community and created an involved, supportive, and vibrant community within the building.
Writer and Photographer Writing I write copy and content, and when writing for the web, I keep SEO in mind. Since 1987, I have written content for my work as a photojournalist, and in 1998, I started writing copy to promote my photography classes. Photography I produce original photography for editorial and commercial use. You can contact me for RM (rights managed) stock photography or fine art photographs to decorate your space. I've been a professional photographer since 1987 and a professional photography instructor since 1998. In 2018, The Sam D'Amico Photography classes were voted "Best of D.C." by the readers of the Washington City Paper in the category of "Best Art Class."
Wrote content and copy for blog posts, landing pages, service pages etc. for variety of businesses. Researched and produced written content using on page SEO to improve SERP.
During my time at the Washington School Of Photography, an accredited school in Maryland, I enjoyed teaching various classes. From the basics to more advanced courses, including Introduction to photography, the business of photography, and lighting with portable flash.
Working as a freelance photography instructor at the Highland Park, NJ Department of Recreation was my first experience in developing class curriculum, and teaching and marketing my photography classes.
