Not sure of what to write?

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Printer
  • Files
  • Keep Records
  1. Step 1

    First, you could use Googles Adword page to find out different search terms. For instance, if you are one that knows about compoting, you will find that:
    14,800 people were looking for the phrase "kitchen compost" in November or December.
    12,100 on "make compost"; 8,100 on "organic compost". The list goes on.

  2. Step 2

    If you are writing for a particular website, like eHow, for instance, you may want to look through the various articles. See what is at the top of the list; or "what" people are looking for.

  3. Step 3

    Keep check on your current articles or writings. Where do you have the most traffic at? If it's a recipe, then shoot for writing recipes, and see if your traffic flow increases. Make sure you have good key words in your articles. Google and other search engines will pick up those key words.

  4. Step 4

    Keep files on your articles. Print them out, and take some time to read over them. If they need improvement, then do so. Maybe some of them are lacking in prime key words. Take the time necessary, and your hard work could pay off in the long run. Ads often accompany internet articles. Your key words often determine what these ads will be. Those click throughs from quilified visitors can add to your revenue.

Tips & Warnings
  • Write what you know or are willing to learn
  • Don't click on the ads on your own article, you could end up loosing cash.
