Money Making

If you are writing online articles, you’ll want to know how to make more money online by creating articles that earn the very most for you.

It’s a simple formula: build a better article, earn more money online. But how do you do this?

Make Money Online By Building Better Articles

Write Evergreen Articles–In other words, create articles that have mass appeal. You are putting your work online to be read by a worldwide audience. Give consideration to what appeals to that audience. Articles that resonate with a vast audience and have staying power continue to help you to make money online by generating interest, page views, clicks and revenue.

Keywords–If you want to earn more for your online articles, you should give serious thought to what words someone would type into a search engine. Do keyword research and find high CPC keywords. Using the right keywords means that more people find your articles; using higher CPC keywords means you earn more from ad clicks. Learn how to space keywords throughout your articles and do this each time you write an article.

Links–Linking to your articles from numerous sites is one of the best ways to make money online because those links generate a considerable amount of traffic. High quality links can make a difference in relation to pages that are crawled, how they are indexed and which pages display.

Blog Blurbs–Use blog blurbs to send readers to your online articles. A good blurb stirs sufficient interest so that someone decides to click on the article link to read the rest of your article. Similar to a movie preview, a blurb entices readers to view the work. A Blurb with a picture and or a question is doubly effective, a good pre-sell that can help you to earn more from your articles.

Bookmarking–If done correctly, bookmarking can lead to increased article views. One of the best rules of thumb is to bookmark your own articles and bookmark others’ work. Try for a ration of 3 to1: bookmark three other articles to every one of your own.

Facebook and Twitter–It’s easy to include article links at both Facebook and Twitter. These sites see a high amount of traffic and can be invaluable tools to assist you to make money online.

Facebook Groups–Many Facebook groups allow users to post their current projects. Joining writer groups and posting your work sends it out to thousands. In the search box, simply type in “writer,” “writing,” “freelance writing,” and so on. Join a number of groups and commit to posting across these groups a couple of times each month.

Yahoo Answers–Do your articles offer good insights? Why not point readers to the answers by using sites such as Yahoo Answers or Answerbag. Make money online by offering helpful information to those looking for pointers and how-to’s.

Use these strategies to build better articles and ultimately, make more money online.

    writing Internet articles is a whole different ballgame from writing for print markets. Those who are willing to do the legwork will make more money online because they reach a much wider audience.
