Step 1
First make sure your articles have pictures. Adding a picture to your article is really easy to do and it generates page views. It’s true. The human eye is attracted to visuals. Plus, people tend to view articles with this extra effort as more professionally done and more thorough.

Step 2
Use keyword optimization. Try to use some of the words you used in your title throughout the rest of your article. You don’t need to fit them in every sentence, but drop them casually into your articles in places where is makes sense in order to increase your view count and earn you more money. Doing so will also help you stay on topic.
-
Step 3
Use a down to earth title. Use a title that you think would actually match someone’s search query. De direct about it. If you are writing an article about how to brush your teeth name the article how to brush your teeth and not how to cleanse your mouth of cavity producing bacteria. Coming up with creative titles is good for journalists, but not for online content producers trying to get more views.

Step 4
Rate other articles on ehow and make friends with other content producers. Often times they will return the favor and view your work and give you positive feedback which will increase your earnings still further.

Step 5
Keep your article between four hundred and six hundred words. According to ehow, this is the general length they are looking for with articles. Keep your work within the current standard to increase your pay.
