Write More Articles; Make More Money

Published on September 22, 2010 in Writing/Publishing. 8 Comments Tags: , , , , .

Whether you are a ghostwriter or an ebusiness owner, it is important that you know how to increase the number of your articles.

For ghostwriters, it would mean fatter paychecks.

For marketers, it would mean more traffic to their website, a stronger online presence, and increased sales and revenue.

Here’s how you can multiply your article writing and article marketing:

1. Carefully choose your topics. Go with subjects that you know very well or very passionate about. You probably already have ideas on what you coan write about.

These topics will not require you to perform extensive research which will surely eat a lot of your writing time. Just make sure that your topics are interesting to your potential audience so you can still generate the kind of attention you need online.

2. Fight writer’s block. As this can surely affect your productivity, you must avoid it at all cost. I recommend that you don’t overwork yourself so you will not feel so burned out at the end of the day.

Have at least 2 days off every week that you can spend away from your computer. It would also help if you can constantly jot down your great ideas so it will become much easier for you to recall them when you are ready to write your articles.

3. Get comfortable. Several studies prove that writers can be more productive and they can produce quality written materials if they are very comfortable with their writing environment.

Find that place where you can write effectively and where your creative juices will flow smoothly. It could be by the beach, at your local park, in your bedroom, or at your local library where you can have some peace and quiet.

4. Extend your writing hours. This is one of the most obvious ways to multiply the number of your articles.

You may spend at least 2 hours more in front of your computer so you can write additional 2-3 articles per day. Remember to get some 30-minute breaks every after a couple of hours so you will not sacrifice the quality of your content.

5. Produce short articles. You need not to share everything you know in one article. Aside from the fact that you are serving people with limited attention span, you can also be more productive if you can produce 300-500 word articles as these are much easier and quicker to produce compare to the lengthy ones.

These are 5 article writing money making tips to write more articles and earn more money. When you write about good topics, are more productive, and enjoy your writing, you will want to wrok more and write more articles.

Writing Informative Articles: 6 Ways To Be A More Compelling Writer

Published on September 6, 2010 in Writing/Publishing. Closed Tags: , , , , .

Do you want to make money online? Knowing how to write compelling and informative articles is one skill that will help you thrive in the online arena.

This will not only help you provide online users what they are truly looking for, valuable information. It will also help you position yourself as someone who is knowledgeable on your chosen niche.

Here’s how you can expand your article writing to be more compelling.

1. Carefully choose your topics. In order to drive only quality traffic to your website, I highly recommend that you stick with topics that your potential clients will find interesting.

You can talk about their aspirations, common questions, and pressing issues. You can also talk about your products and services and issues about your chosen niche.

2. Think SEO. It is very important that you know how to impress the search engines so they will properly index your articles and make them highly searchable online.

This can easily be done by knowing the popular keywords and keyphrases within your chosen niche and placing them strategically all throughout your content. Of course, you will need to follow the appropriate keyword density (3% of your total word count) so your articles will not be flagged for keyword abuse.

3. Use intriguing titles. As the competition in the online arena is getting more cutthroat by the minute, you need to make sure that your articles will look more valuable.

As they compare to other copies that are available online you want yours to stand out. Use of interesting and attention-grabbing titles so you can get online users to notice your content.

4. Become a quality content writer. Aside from making your articles content-rich and highly informative, you must also ensure that they are well-written, easy to understand, concise, and scannable.

By doing so, you can easily impress your readers and convince them to act on your favor (click on your resource box, sign-up to your opt-in list, or purchase your products and services).

5. Define your audience. Knowing the people you are serving will make it much easier for you to make your content highly focused and targeted.

So, be willing to exert some effort and spend some time getting to know your readers. You can maintain an ongoing dialogue with them through relevant discussion boards or through your blog.

6. Use conversational tone. I am sure you do not want to alienate your readers or make them feel that they are having a boring lecture when reading your articles.

Put these people at ease by using conversational and friendly tone. Strive to sound spontaneous, upbeat, warm, and friendly. Also, make your articles sound engaging by asking questions once in a while or by sharing relevant personal stories.

The next instalment should have been added by now.  My apologies for the delay.

I am off to Adelaide, South Australia in the early hours of the morning, as I’m attending a writer’s conference there.

I live in Melbourne, and Adelaide is only about an hour by plane, so not a big deal, except when you are working around three grandchildren who rely on you!

Anyways, I will be back in a few days, and will endeavour to get the next instalment of the WAHM, Dads, and Grandparents series added to the blog early in the week.

I’m excited about the next instalment, and I hope you will be too when you read it.

Until then,

Keep Writing…

Are You a WAHM, Dad, or Grandparent?

Published on April 8, 2010 in Writing/Publishing. 8 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

I receive a lot of emails from people working from home.

They’re struggling to keep focused, to keep on schedule, and to keep work and family separate. And to make money.

I’ve been there and done all those things.

I’m not a WAHM, I’m a WAH grandparent.  I have three grandchildren living with me full-time, and we’ve done that for almost six years.  When the children arrived, they were 1, 2, and 5.  They’d been physically attacked and were in a pretty bad way.  Things are better now, but we still have a long way to go.

Counselling and other professional visits are an ongoing thing in our household.

Because I’ve been through all the dramas, trauma, and issues of working at home with young kids in tow, I feel ‘qualified’ to help others in this area.

You’ve probably noticed I’ve been AWOL for a few weeks – it’s school holidays over here in Australia.  The children have been home from school, and things have been rather frantic.   That makes for even more frantic work time.

Because of this, I got to thinking, what are the things that hold us back as WAHM’s? (WAHM’s covering all genders and ages!)

And that got me to thinking about the large variety of things that stop us from earning as much income from home as we’d like.   If you work from home and you’re a writer, VA, software creator, installer, consultant, blogger, or something else entirely, this is for you.

Over the next few months I’ll be posting information to help you monetize your WAH business.

Please leave a message to help me decide on the content that would help you.
