Topics

You will begin by choosing your topic or niche.  This can be anything you want it to be. For this purpose, I have chosen making money online by writing articles.  I got started with online marketing a few months ago.  I enjoy article writing because I can share my thoughts, ideas, and interests with the world and make money while doing it.  When you choose your topic, make it fun.  Choose a topic that you enjoy.  The best practice in writing articles is to choose a subject that you feel passionate about. If the passion is there, this will be a fun and enjoyable hobby or part time job that you will have fun doing! If you are still searching for a niche. I always find it easier to come up with ideas if I develop an acronym.  Think of it this way:
N ow
I
Can 
Help
Everyone......finish the sentence. Now you have your niche! Congratulations!

Keyword Phrase

This is most important piece of your campaign. This is the words that users type into a search engine to find what they are looking for. You want to ensure you pick a key word phrase that has less than 5,000 searches. This will narrow down your opportunities to welcome traffic to your site.  

Try GOOGLE KEYWORD TOOL.  It's free and easy to use. 

Write the Article

By this time, you have chosen your topic. You've chosen your keywords and now you are ready to begin. Your article should be a minimum of 500 words.  You want to ensure you are not duplicating someone else's work and your article content is relevant to the topic that you have chosen. Your article shouldn't sound like it was typed from a computer generated informational site. Make your article stand out.  Your article should read as if you were sending a letter to a friend.  You want to excite your readers on the topic of choice.  Why should you start article writing? What are the benefits of article writing? What can you expect from article writing?

This is not an overnight million dollar opportunity.  There are no limits on article submission.  The benefits are sharing your thoughts, ideas, and interests with the world.  The expectations are limitless.  You pick the topic, you write the article, now comes the easy part.
