The Secret to Making Money by Writing Effective
Articles
For those of us with web pages and blogs, we know how
important writing articles can be to acquiring traffic.
Traffic equals money and writing effective articles
can bring you a good amount of traffic. Unfortunately
not a lot of us know how to write an effective article
and where to submit it once we do. For new website owners,
this article may provide the most important information
you'll ever read!
The first thing you need to do is take action. What
I mean by that is you have to decide if you are going
to write it or if you are going to hire someone else
to write it for you. There are many people who charge
under five dollars to 'ghost write' them for you. I
really suggest you take the liberty and do it yourself.
It will save you a lot of money and you'll only get
better with your writing skills. Who knows, maybe someday
you'll get good enough to write for others.
Okay, so you've decided to give it a go and you're wondering
how to start. Well, how about a catchy title. Titles
should catch your readers attention. Do this by creating
curiosity, asking a question, shocking your reader,
or make a promise. Start with 'How to' or '5 Steps to'
or 'The Real Secret to'. You catch my drift?
Your article must provide your reader with quality
content. You don't want to just slop something together
and have your reader quit half way through. Be organized
and make yourself an outline with your intro, four to
five main body points, and a conclusion.
In your intro, let your reader know what you are trying
to solve with your writing. Provide a problem and then
a solution to that problem in a preview format. Make
them want to read on.
Your body is where you want to expand on the four or
five points you outlined. Keep it semi-brief with each
point consisting of four or five sentences. Remember,
you're writing an article, not a book.
The conclusion in an effective article should also
consist of about four or five sentences. Let it sum
up what you just went over in the article. Touch on
a couple of points that the article didn't cover. Give
advice on how they can get more info.
Once you have written an effective article you have
to know who to submit it to. There are two methods to
doing this. Manually and automatic.
Submitting your article manually can cause somewhat
of a headache, but will cost you nothing. There are
thousands of article directories and ezines you can
find all over the internet. If you are writing two articles
a week(optimal), submitting to just a few may occupy
a lot of your time.
I suggest finding an article submission service that
allows you to submit your articles to hundreds or thousands
of directories and ezines with just a click of a button.
There are software programs and online services that
allow you to do just that. The prices for these services
are relatively cheap considering the amount of time
they will save you.
Now you know how to write an effective article by piquing
your readers interest, providing fresh real quality
content with a short but informative body, and a conclusion
that leaves your readers wanting more. You also know
your choices when you are ready to submit your articles.
I should also point out that an effective article should
include keywords that can be picked up by search engines.
Aim for a one to three percent density of keywords throughout
your article. And if you really want tons of free traffic
for life, use a service that allows you to leverage
your articles. Now get to writing!
