In the online world, the ability to write fast while writing well translates into cash. Not only do articles create a constant stream of traffic to your own sites and blogs, you can sell them as well.

Most days, I can write an article of around 500 words in 20 minutes to half an hour, including thinking and research time. This is just a skill which develops as you practice. It’s also a matter of planning.

Plan Your Articles for the Week, and the Day

Angela Booth’s writing guides have been created to help you to make money from your writing every day. Join the thousands of writers who are making great money with their writing skills.

On the Web, articles are written around keywords because most of your readers will arrive via the search engines. Therefore, knowing which keywords your readers will use to find you is vital.

There are many keyword tools online, both free and commercial. I tend to use the free tools for writing articles, and the commercial tools for keywords I use for Pay Per Click advertising.

Remember that keyword tools are simply a guide. If you check your Web sites’ logs, you’ll see that at least 50 per cent of the searches which bring readers to your articles are long tail keywords - that is, keywords you didn’t target.

A tip: avoid “keyword stuffing”. The search engines are much smarter than they were, and articles which have a heavy density of keywords are penalized. Use keywords naturally.

So on Sundays I do some preliminary keyword research for my articles for the coming week. Once I’ve created the list, I create article titles. Often I’ll change the titles later, but having a list of titles means that subconsciously I’ll be thinking about the articles, so when I get down to writing them the words flow easily.

I enter the article titles and keywords into a spreadsheet with columns for Monday, Tuesday and the rest of the week. This means I can see at a glance how many articles I intend to write on a particular day, and during the day, how many article I’ve already written.

Articles I’m writing for clients have priority, so these are always entered onto the spreadsheet first; they’re direct income, whereas the other articles will bring me income over time.

Writing Reviews for Success on the Web

July 28th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

Reviews are in high demand on the Web; in fact you could base an entire freelance writing career on them. So what kinds of reviews could you write?

Most writers immediately think of book reviews. However, while writing book reviews can be fun and entertaining, you can’t create a lucrative home based business on them.

Let’s look at the kinds of reviews you could turn into a business, as one writer did.

Your Own Home Based Review Writing Business - What to Review

My friend Anita fell into reviewing by accident. She now reviews affiliate products, but she started out reviewing Web sites.

She’s a magazine journalist, so she created a blog several years ago both to attract editors and to introduce her writing to them. She said: “I started reviewing Web sites on my blog, just for my own amusement - no one asked me to do it. Then something really odd happened. I got messages from Webmasters on many different Web sites asking me to review their sites, and offering payment for it too.”

Within a few months, her Web site reviews turned into a great little sideline. Anita explained: “After I’d done it for a while, I started to understand why my site reviews were popular. Firstly, they were a great source of links, and links are currency on the Web. Secondly, they provided credibility for the sites I reviewed - my reviews weren’t all positive, I was completely honest and tossed in a lot of zingers, but people loved it. Then of course, other sites popped up, whose sole business plan was providing site reviews.”

Knowledge is power, and Anita now understood just how popular reviews could be.

So Anita created several sites of her own, based on her reviews of affiliate products. Here’s how she tells it: “I was pregnant, so it seemed natural to create a waiting-to-be-a-mom type site, and review all the products I was buying for the baby. I simply found products which offered affiliate programs, and reviewed those products. I quickly made sales of the products, and received commissions.”

She created other sites in her areas of interest - cooking, photography, and real estate. All offered reviews, and all did well. So by the time her son was six months old, Anita no longer wrote for magazines, she was occupied full time with her review business.

Reviews are popular on the Web because they help people to make decisions. If you’re thinking of buying something, you’ll check for reviews, to see what others’ say. So reviewing products you use yourself, or buy yourself, or friends have bought, is a great way to get started in reviewing, because if the products have affiliate programs, you make commissions. Even if they don’t have affiliate programs, you can sell advertising on your sites.

How to Get Started in Reviewing

You can write reviews for others, or for yourself. To write reviews for others, just create several “sample” reviews on your own site, and advertise yourself as a reviewer.

You’ll also find many sites online which need reviewers, and although the payment is minimal, it’s a good way to get started.

Once you have some experience, branch out. Do what Anita does - review products and services in your areas of interest. You can base an entire home business on reviewing, so if the idea intrigues you, get started.

How to Make Money Online by Writing Articles for the Web

Want to make a great part time or full time income online? Write articles for the Web - there’s a huge demand, which will only increase as the Web environment becomes more competitive.

How to Get Started - Follow Tamira’s Example

When my friend Tamira took maternity leave from her marketing job she became very bored very quickly. She started a blog, writing several articles a day to post on her blog.

She was amazed when her blog started to earn a small income, and investigated the blogging environment, soon discovering that many people were prepared to pay her for writing articles to post on their blogs and Web sites. So, she charged a small fee for writing articles, just to see how the process worked.

Then she set up her own Web site, and offered article packages, which she advertised on her blog, which was getting more traffic every day. She posted testimonials she received from her buyers on her site, and made sales.

Fast forward to her son’s birth, and she had the glimmer of an idea. She didn’t want to leave her baby and go back to work… could she turn articles into a full time business?

Making a long story short, she could, and she did.

Article Writing Money Making Tips

There’s an insatiable appetite for content on the Web, because content brings traffic, and traffic makes sales for all Web sites. Articles are a prime form of Web content.

Here are some tips to help you to make money:

* There are three main methods to making money by writing articles - write them for yourself, to get traffic to your own sites; write articles for others; and write articles to promote products, as an affiliate marketer. Which method will work for you? Give them all a try.

* Some kinds of articles pay better than others. Generally speaking, selling packs of articles - five, ten or even more per package, pays better than selling single articles.

* Get some article-writing experience on the out-sourcing sites. You can turn articles into a profitable full time business, once you have experience. You won’t be paid much on the out-sourcing sites, but you will get priceless experience.

* There are many formulas for writing articles. Many depend on keywords. Learn as much as you can about keywords, but remember that you’re writing for readers first, rather than the search engines.

* You need to promote your article writing services - get a site and blog, and learn how to get traffic. The more traffic you get, the more money you will make.

* Writing articles isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s a way to build a solid business, with minimal startup costs. Your business will build, as you write articles, and promote your business. As with all business, the more time and energy you spend on it, the more your business will thrive and prosper.
