Writing Articles To Make Extra Money Online Articles
Monday, September 6th, 2010If you don’t like making videos, podcasts etc. Maybe you should try article marketing to make extra money online? Just so you know if you don’t want to create videos etc.; you can try other things like outsourcing; I’ll talk about them in another article.
Just like video content article marketing when done effectively can earn you money long after the article has been submitted. But before you can expect this you need to write articles that people want to read and just as importantly; that people will find. The following are some helpful pointers to do just that!
1. Choose the right keyword for your article, this ensures you’ll be found in searches (check out my article on keyword research for help doing this).
2. Next put this keyword in the title and three times throughout the article (it is usually best to have the keyword in the first paragraph aswell).
3. Write articles that are read! As obvious as that sounds a lot of people don’t do this. On the internet people don’t read every word they scan whole paragraphs. Studies have shown that; if a user isn’t interested in what they are looking at after eight seconds they move onto another page. You have eight seconds to grab their attention!
4. Keep sentences short and sharp, this helps keep the reader’s attention. It’ll also stop readers from clicking any links and leaving the page.
5. Have sentences that flow onto each other so the reader will feel the need to keep reading. Ideally if the sentences are easy and fast to read the user will not mind taking the time to read your article.
6. Break into paragraphs and or points (seven points generally works well online; hence you’ll see seven points here!).
7. Put your articles on the top article sites and also your blog. The tops sites include; Ezinearticles, Searchwarp and Articlebase. You may also find article sites specific to your niche that you should submit to.
If you keep all these steps in mind you’re sure to see the benefits of article marketing as a way to make extra money online.
