Writing Articles to make money

Writing articles to make money. It’s one of the hottest topics on the internet. An it’s true, articles are an awesome and easy
way to make money online.
Some folks feel intimidated about the
thought of putting pen to paper, but I’m
going to tell you about some easy ways to
write quality articles. You’ll be cranking
them out in no time.
What good are articles? Well, with them you
can…
• generate free traffic to your website
(where you’re selling something)
• send traffic to websites you are
promoting as an affiliate (via your link,
of course!)
• provide quality content on a basic
adsense site
• use several of them to quickly create
your own e-books and sell them on their
own mini sites, or even sell resell
rights to these e-books.
Turning Your Articles into
Income
When folks are curled up in bed with your
book, you have some literary license. You
can talk about scenery and feelings and pave
the way for character development.
But when people are reading on the internet,
they’re wanting fast facts. They don’t want
additional fluff. Easy to understand
information. That’s the goal.
When you want to learn something, you want
to learn it as quickly as possible.
Everyone looks for a shortcut so they can
start applying what they’ve learned. That’s
why you want to be brief and to the point in
your articles for the web.
The Fastest And Easiest Way
To Write Great Articles
Now, with as many tip websites as there are
and as many online forums, there’s no need
to come up with all the content off the top
of your head.
Now here’s something vitally important – you
must never take another person’s words for
your article. Not one sentence. Not one
phrase. It’s illegal and can get you
jailed.
But you can certainly learn from their
content and write your own article. Find
three or four articles on your topic, read
them carefully, and write your own article
in your own words based on what you’ve just
learned.
Where To Find Good Info
If I wanted to write an article on
“unschooling”, I’d search Google for
“unschooling forums” or “unschooling
discussion boards”.
All I then do is look for what folks are
talking about, read their responses and use
them to help write my own article.
If you find a great info-product on
Clickbank for gardeners, do a search for
garden forums. See what kinds of questions
folks are asking and write an article to
answer.
You can also find Frequently Asked Questions
at FAQ.org and Groups.google.com.
Remember, you’re keeping your article short
and to the point. Use helpful tips
throughout.
I remember one article I read about
searching for a fitness club. One of the
tips went like this. “In order to find the
best fitness club for you, you must go out
and look for one.”
Well, duh! For crying out loud, that’s
idiotic. Of course you have to look for
one. That’s a piece of totally useless
information.
Steer clear of stating the very obvious.
Give unique, helpful suggestions. That’s
what your readers want.
Writing Your Article Title
Like a headline, this is what gets folks to
decide to read your article or pass it by.
People want articles with helpful tips they
can use immediately. Your title must convey
what you’re offering in your article.
“Reaching Your Goal” – kind of boring
“Making It” – too abstract, this could be a
title for baking cakes or any number of
things
““7 Proven Steps to Reaching Any Goal That
You Can Implement Right Now!”” – much better
Editing Your Article
Any professional writer will tell you how
difficult it is to proof your own work.
Because you know in your head exactly what
the page is supposed to say, it’s easy for
your brain to skip over little errors.
You can read your article aloud to help
check for flow. But also have another pair
of eyes look over your work and see if the
article makes complete sense.
Don’t forget to check for spelling errors.
Too many of these and your article will
likely not be accepted/published.
