Gaming Writer
Was hired in 2018 when HITC was looking to expand from just primarily sports and finance. I started writing for the gaming section on my own with no SEO experience and zero knowledge of Google Trends. Since the start of 2020, I managed to regularly rank high on Google and in top stories for the most competitive key searches. My yearly total views were higher than 12 million with over 1 million views per month on average. I was responsible for finding key searches, sourcing information, creating angles, writing and editing articles, as well as tailoring everything to high SEO results using Yoast. I was also responsible for finding appropriate featured images and citing the correct copyright. On a daily basis, I frequently pitched ideas to discuss writing plans. I was always determined to meet monthly targets for views, and this developed a strong understanding of Google Trends and analytics. I was trusted with writing informative, creative, and entertaining reviews for high-profile video games including WWE 2K23, SpongeBob SquarePants The Cosmic Shake, Saints Row, and The Quarry.
