• Develop strong SEO for your content. SEO includes web headlines, SEO page titles, URLs, meta descriptions and keywords, as well as hyperlinks inserted in the body of articles.
• Use databases, stock charts and financial statements when appropriate to gather information for articles and related content, such as graphics to accompany stories.
• Participate in social media to promote your IBD content, cultivate relationships with sources or others interested in the topics that you cover, and help develop IBD's web audience.
• May produce videos or participate in the production of videos such as by developing scripts or appearing in videos to discuss stock market news and trends.
