Ten Top Tips on Making Money Online With Articles

Writing articles related to your product or service is an

excellent way to boost your sales without costing you a dime.

Search Engines are constantly on the look out for freshly

written content. So how do you come up with ideas for your next

article? Here are ten tips that will certainly help:

1) Hang out in online discussion groups. Watch what people are

talking about. Look at the questions they are asking. The topics

that are bringing the greatest number of visitors would make for

an excellent article.

2) Take a look at what information is being broadcast on TV,

radio, newspapers, and online. They can be invaluable sources to

help you determine what's 'hot'.

3) Read quality blogs. What are people posting about? What kind

of comments are they leaving? What questions do they have? Blogs

are the internet marketing medium of the moment and you can

literally find blogs on any topic. This is an excellent source

for your next article idea.

4) Survey your current customers or website visitors. Ask them

what kind of article they would like to see in your next ezine

or published on your site.

5) Check online and offline bookstores. What are the top

sellers? This can be a good way to come up with an article that

catches the attention of what people are reading.

6) Be seasonal. Write about what is going on that time of year.

Holidays, festivals, sports, graduations, etc. all makes for an

article that someone will want to read.

7) Write an article about a current fad. There is always

something that is hot at the time and could make for interesting

reading from you.

8) Keep track of what your customers and prospects are asking

you. If you get an email or phone call with a question this may

make for a good article. Others may have the same question, but

are afraid to ask it.

9) Use your intuition. What will everybody be talking about

next Christmas? Read books and articles by futurologists about

societal trends and then take a hunch on what people will like

to read about a year down the line.

10) Start a swipe file on what others are writing about. If it

is of interest to you it will probably be of interest to others.

Never plagiarize the work of others, but you can certainly get

good ideas this way. The biggest benefit of a swipe file is

having it handy to refer back to over and over whenever you are

ready to write your article and are not sure what you want to

write about.

If you still find it hard to write about your idea, you can

hire a professional to ghost-write it for you. The costs are not

as high as you may think and, considering what's at stake, it

could be the best investment you ever make.
