Making Money Online Writing… Is It Really Possible?

We must get this question roughly 5 times a week asked in one form or another and the answer is absolutely, “YES!”

We wrote a book about how to get started – but I can tell you in a nutshell put up samples of your writing and it’s easy to do. Get a freebie blog through your ISP (many of them offer a free website) or go to Wordpress.com.

Then show your skillz!

Write about your hobbies, home remedies you know, write a challenge you have had and overcame, review the last 3 things you bought – the key is write about what you know.

Once you learn the ropes, the time for taking on topics you have to research and learn about will come.  The main thing you want to have is samples of your writing style for potential clients to view.

Adsense Keywords and Stuff..

I thought since I do research every day on niche market keywords – among other info I’ll post the keywords that are listed as being $1.00 per click or better.

Hopefully this will help you find niches you may have no considered before and get some good keyword ideas. Basically, you can use the keyword list to build categories and then articles around to help drive targeted traffic to your blogs – you can hire professional writers – like us (heh – shameless plug I know, I know…).

I’ll be posting at least one niche every day in the PLR section = hope it helps!

Finding Article Topics That Sell

I get this question at least once a week so I thought it would make a good blog post.  Finding topics to write about isn’t rocket science, in fact it’s easy and when you want to make a living as a writer – you need to write topics that will sell. Especially if you’re writing articles for the PLR or affiliate marketing niche markets.

Here are some of the ways I find topics that I know will sell to my website visitors.

1- Check your webstats. This is a treasure trove of good information. If I see searches hitting my site looking for “hip hop PLR” or “how to get y0ur ex back articles” – you can bet I’m gonna create an article set for those. I did that a while back with “extended auto warranty on used cars” and the PLR set sold out in 24 hours. I noticed over 100 hits in a single month period and they were coming from different IP’s so I knew it would be good.

 2- Go to Ezinearticles.com, Ehow.com or LovetoKnow.com and put in “how to”, “cure for”, “get rid of” and other concentrated keywords and normally results will be returned in order from most to least popular.  I wouldn’t have thought to write an article set “cure for bacterial vaginosis” that has been my number one best seller to date. I also found a niche on Bugaboo baby strollers in this way. If you’ve ever seen them – they retail for hundreds and hundreds of dollars so the commissions are sweeeeeeet.

3.Google trends is another good source. I pretty much stick to the top 20 but it’s a good way to find topics that are happening NOW.

4-Yahoo answers (yes I know billions of people use it for backlinks too but they are pretty easy to weed out) is another great place – see what questions are being asked and if you can match it to an affiliate product – your article set will have even more value.

Those are just a few of the techniques I use. I’ll post more for you soon. In the meantime – happy writing!
