Writing Articles: How to Write Less and Earn More

without comments

You can promote almost anything online using content marketing — this is, by writing articles. Unfortunately, many people try it, don’t get the results they expect, and give up. That’s a shame. You need an effective workflow. Once you have that, you’ll be able to write less, and earn more.

I’ve been writing articles for promotion for a decade. Over the years, I’ve refined my own workflow, and I’ll share it with you.

Here we go.

1. Have a Reason for Writing an Article

Before you start writing, decide what your end goal will be. What are you promoting? What links will you use? It’s usually a mistake to send a flow of traffic to the home page of a site — ensure that the page you send the reader to is directly relevant to readers, as well as to your goal.

For example, perhaps you’re promoting an affiliate product. In this case, you’d send the readers to a review of the product, or some other page on which you could presell them.

Please don’t skip over this step. It’s essential. There’s no point in creating content without a goal in mind.

2. Provide Solid Information

You expect the reader to spend a minute or two of his valuable time reading your content. Those are minutes he’ll never get back. Reward him for reading.

Not only is this good business practice, it makes sense too. Here’s why: if readers click away from your content in disgust, you’ll receive a black mark from the search engines. When you receive enough of these, your content just won’t appear in the search engine results pages.

3. Tell the Reader What to Do

You’re writing articles for a reason. Make sure that your resource box tells the reader what he should do once he’s read the material.

You need to make it as easy as possible for your readers to take action.

4. Promote Your Articles

You’ve written great material. Unfortunately, that’s not enough. You need to promote your material too. The more you promote, the more readers you’ll get, and the higher your search engine rankings will rise.

It’s the old story — the rich get richer.

You can promote your articles in many ways; just don’t ignore this vital step.

So there you have it: four simple steps to writing fewer articles, and earning more income.

There’s never been a better time to be a writer. Your potential income is unlimited. This is simply because as the recession bites, businesses are forced to make alterations to the way they market their products.

I’m amazed at the number of small businesses which are moving the bulk of their operations online, as well as by the number of small businesses which are starting up with the sole aim of selling products online — even a year ago this would’ve been looked on as a risky strategy.

With businesses placing such a high emphasis on selling online, it gives great  opportunities for writers. You’re in high demand. Even beginning writers can get writing jobs writing articles.

Can YOU write Web articles?

If you have any writing skills at all, you can write articles. Web articles are very different from articles written for print publications, and they’re much easier to write.

If you read Web articles, you’ll discover that they have certain attributes.  They’re easy to read, they’re relatively short when compared to print articles, and they contain links.

So if you’re in the same position as a lot of people, and need to earn extra money, consider writing web articles.
