Writing Online For a Living - How to Make a Living Writing Articles

Making a living writing articles is something that I never thought could be possible until I ventured into it. Online marketing is one of the leading ventures on earth and is the business of the future!

You Must Start Today
Writing on its own could be disturbing for a beginner. We could keep on putting up excuses why we cannot write, do not even have time or we are not smart enough. But I write to let you know that everyone got what it takes to write something buried inside of them. The only problem is that you can’t know what you got until you start somewhere.

Be Yourself
When writing, just be you, never try to impress anyone. Allow the impulse of writing to flow from within you. Yes! Go on, write anything that crosses your mind and then before long, you will be writing something. It may not make sense in the beginning but as you go on and start being focused and more streamline, your writing will begin to make sense.

This is Serious Business
Today I will draw your attention to understand that pen and paper could earn you a living if only you take it as serious business and not just as a hobby. When I say serious business, don’t get me wrong, am not implying that you get yourself worked up just because you want to make money. As I earlier said, be yourself and always be in a relaxed mood when scribbling down anything on paper.

Use Search Engines
Article writing is meant to pull qualified traffic to your website or the affiliate website. Your target is to rank your site or the affiliate site you are promoting high on search engines; this means that your articles must be keyword rich. By this I mean when individuals type a particular keyword in the search engines, it leads to the first page in which your site or the affiliate site must be seen to get more clicks.

Write Keyword Rich Articles
That brings me to emphasis, that your articles must be keyword rich. Remember that there are a lot of competition in almost every niche, and for you to be well ranked you need to write articles that are keyword rich. In doing this you have to carry out keyword research, with Keyword Research Tools which are available online, such as Google and Word Tracker. But please a little warning; don’t stuff your content with keywords as you will miss the essence of writing.

Make A Living Today
Writing articles drives traffic to your site, the more clicks you get on your site or your affiliate site, the more the possibilities that your products will sell. These will generate income that you can’t possibly estimate until you start writing articles to promote your site. Before I conclude, I must emphasize that your article title promise must be delivered in the article body and your landing page i.e. your website or your affiliate link most be in line with your articles.
