Writing Articles: a Simple Writing Strategy You Can Use

Anyone can turn writing articles into a great part-time or job, or even a bustling and profitable full-time business. Articles are huge, because there’s a never-ending demand for content on the Web. Every site wants more and more content, and if you can deliver that content, you’re golden.

You’ll get better at writing your articles with practice, and once you learn a few simple strategies. I’ve been writing for 30 years, and have written thousands of Web articles; creating articles for my sites and blogs is fun for me.

Not fun for you? It will be, once you learn some simple strategies.

Here’s one strategy I’ve found very useful: separate keyword research, and writing titles, from writing the articles.

I do all my keyword research with Market Samurai, which is not only the best keyword tool, it’s also the best online marketing tool ever.

Once I’ve chosen some keywords with a good number of daily searches, and as little competition as possible, I write a series of article titles — usually about ten at a time for one topic.

I don’t spend too long agonizing over titles. Since I want my titles to be found quickly, I use the main keyword somewhere in the title, and try to make the title as intriguing as possible — without going completely over the top.

Once I’ve written the titles, I load them onto my iPad, so that I can access them wherever I am. Then, if I have some free time before a meeting starts, I can use the time to work on the articles.
