Speechless when it comes to hitting record to make that video or podcast? Why not try to make extra money online using article marketing? Ok, just to clarify if you don't want to feature your voice in a video there are other options like outsourcing that you can try, but they're for another article.
Article marketing like video content can provide a constant stream of income long after the article has been written. However the technique of writing an article with good content and which gets found by users using search engines needs to be followed carefully before you can expect this.
1. First of all you need to find a good keyword for your article (I discussed this in another article).
2. Then you need to put the keyword in the title and a maximum of three times throughout the article (it is usually best to have the keyword in the first paragraph aswell.
3. Write an article that people read! Sounds easy but remember people don't read online they scan. An average user will look at a page for eight seconds and if something hasn't caught their attention they will click away.
4. Write in short, sharp sentences that keep the reader's attention.
5. Have sentences that flow onto each other so the reader will feel the need to keep reading.
6. Break into paragraphs and or points (seven points generally works well online; hence you'll see seven points here!).
7. Submit to the best article sites aswell as your blog; Ezinearticles, Searchwarp and Articlebase are the top three.
