Make $20 or More Per Article on eHow

Making money on eHow can be elusive. You might have tried to write a good article and found that creating that high paying topic is elusive. Here are some tips to help you make really good money writing for eHow.

Topic is very important. It should be timely. Keep a close watch on what is in the news, or things for which people might be searching. If you are interested, others probably are as well.

Once you have found a hot topic, do some research. Be sure your information if obtained from accurate sources and that you are careful to avoid plagiarism.

Go to Google Suggest and try your topic in How to format. See how many people are looking for it, and how many people have written about it already. Play with the title until yours is original. Pick your title carefully. It should be something you would search yourself.

Go to Wordtracker and put your topic in the search. If at least 100 people are searching the topic in the last 24 hours, it is probably worth writing. If you know it will be hot in the next couple of days, do not worry about how many are searching it now. Look for the 3 word phrases in Wordtracker and include some of those in your article introduction and body.

Go to Google Adwords Free Keyword Tool and put your keywords into the search box. Check the CPC, and pick the highest paying keywords to add to your article. Pick three word phrases as well, and add these to the introduction and the body.

Be sure to add keywords to the last step, both Wordtracker and Adwords.

The most important step you can take is to write well. Try to be sure your grammar is correct, and paragraphs flow well. This will ensure people will stay and read the article.

They offer numerous writing opportunities through their webiste, one of which involves becoming an Expert for eHow.

Triond

Triond is a website where writers can transcribe original content and make a few pennies in the bargain. Triond gives the writer 50% of "the revenue generated" by their articles. There is no second guessing here about where to sell your articles either. You write an article, they review your content, usually in a day or so, and there you go. You get published somewhere on the web in an area that fits your article content. Just be sure your writing is original, and not copied from another site for which you might write. By writing for Triond you will build a writing portfolio and have a revenue stream that can only increase with more exposure. They pay their writers through the convenience of PayPal as well. Give it a shot! Happy writing!

Xomba can Generate Income

So how about Xomba? Xomba is a site where you can post articles, or links to existing article that you have somewhere else on the internet. You link your Google Adsense account through their website, and whatever revenue your articles or links generate you receive 50%. This is not a bad deal. However, Xomba, like many writing sites, does require you to do some networking in order to make any income. Without people actually coming to look at your articles or pages on Xomba, it is unlikely any of your Google Ads will get clicked. So network, make friends, and post your Xombytes or Xomblurbs. As Xomba says, "Xomba has two types of posts: Xombytes and Xomblurbs. Xombytes are posts of 100 words or more in length that can be anything from a blog entry to a movie review to a how to guide. Xomblurbs are social bookmarks that allow you to share an interesting link with the rest of the Xomba community. You write out a brief, descriptive paragraph and share the URL." So go ahead and get started promoting articles or creating new ones.

A great place to make some extra income online is a site called Associated Content. This is a little different than ehow, the how to site that I wrote about in an earlier blog. On Associated Content, you can sell your old college papers for $4 while still retaining the rights. In addition, you will receive payment for page views. You will have to promote yourself in order to make any money on this site, but the potential is there. They also offer opportunities to pick up assignments and will pay a certain amount per article offered. There is a wide variety from which to choose. This is also a place where you can voice your opinions, give reviews, recipes, lesson plans, games or anything else you wish to publish. You are only limited by your time and motivation. They also have contests and promotions where there is even more opportunity to make money. This site is free to join and free to write. All you need is a Paypal account to get started.

Writing for Web Content Sites

Web content sites pay individuals to write for either flat fee or residual income. All you need is a little time, some knowledge, and an interest in earning extra money. Many people who begin writing web content do not get off on the right foot, however, and may not earn the income they could by learning from those in the know.

Keywords are an important part of writing for the web. When you write an article, you can optimize your chances of people finding you in search by using keywords that describe your articles main content. Google and yahoo use crawlers that go through your article and pick up on words in order to know where the listing should go. Be sure to use many keywords in your title, body and tags in order to increase your chances of being found by searchers in Google, Yahoo and the many other search engines that are out there.

Go to Google Adwords, which I listed in the previous post, and Wordtracker to check whether your words are searchable.

Using Keywords to Get Noticed

Many people do not realize that once they begin to get their writing careers off the ground, they will vicariously learn new information almost daily. Through social networking and talking to writers and webmasters, new online entrepreneurs will begin to learn new information almost through the process of osmosis. The main thing is to start writing, and keep your eyes open for those who know the tricks of the trade. For instance, when writing a blog, using keywords that will draw people to you is one of the most important tips any new writer will learn. Google recognizes keywords that are searched the most on the internet,and if your writing contains these words, it is more likely to be picked up by the Google search engine. One place you are able to test your words to see if they are going to be profitable is to go to Google Adwords Keyword Tool. Just put in a word and do a search. Google will give you information on the popularity of the word or phrase, which enables you to make a judgement as to whether to use it in your title, tags and body of your material. In addition, you can use the website tool to copy/paste a link to your website. Google sends a robot and gives you words relevant to your site, that you can go ahead and include to make more money. This tool is invaluable to writers and webmasters. Good luck and good writing!
