But the following steps are critical to writing a winning article.

Keyword Research

Doing your research gives you the ultimate edge over your competition. My recommendation is to start out with the paid version of WordTracker if you've got some money. Almost all of the top earners in online marketing prefer this service as it gives USABLE metrics that tell you how well a keyword will perform. Don't have money? Do this instead.

1) Use the Google Keyword tool to determine how often a word is searched on. (1,000 searches per month min)

2) Type your keywords into Google and find out how many websites come up (100,000 or less)

Be realistic when choosing keywords, some are really hard to compete with but there are ways around that. You can still compete if you learn the proper strategy. I have a strategy below that I'll reveal that will absolutely help you dominate for any keyword.

Brainstorm Article Topics

The secret key to success here is to provide USEFUL information that they can IMPLEMENT TODAY. The last thing you want is a reputation on the internet that you articles are useless.

Ever heard of the Google Wonder Wheel? Well you've been missing out. Seriously, this tool practically picks a topic FOR YOU and creates different sub topics that you can use if you get stuck.

The easiest way to brainstorm is to pick your favorite blog, find a post that you like and put your spin on the information. Don't plagiarize, put take the information and give an opinion.

Write The Article

No one writes the perfect article in one sitting. Do you think William Shakespere wrote Romeo and Juliet in one pass? He probably re-wrote a lot until it became a masterpiece.

Some concepts will spew out like a erupting volcano, some will take a few earthquakes to really get going. Just keep writing and revise where necessary. This step is the place where most people thing that article marketing doesn't work because they don't write enough articles.

Promote Your Article

What most people do is they write an article and in effect, it just sits out on the internet on an island all by itself. And with millions and millions of articles on the internet, people wonder why they get no response. Here's what you need to do.

1) Bookmark your article on all of the social media sites

2) Submit your article to hundreds of article directories

3) Create a video promoting your article and submit it to every video hosting service
