Are you new to writing content articles? Does the idea of writing content articles challenge you, thrill you or does it sound like too much work? If you're reading this on eHow you most likely want to get into your own writing business. How do you challenge yourself to write highly rated and highly paid articles on eHow and still have fun?

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Desire to succeed.
  • Time for writing.
  • Writing goals.
  • A timer.
  • A plan.
  1. Step 1

    If you're a new content writer you must set writing goals and have a plan for your content writing. How much time are you willing to spend on your writing every day?

  2. Step 2

    In content writing the saying "write what you know" is very important. Sure you can research and write articles about what you don't know but this will take more time. Start with what you know. Write a variety of articles that reflect your interests. In your free time brainstorm ideas so when you sit down to write you can just refer to your list.

  3. Step 3

    Use keywords but don't waste too much time analyzing what people are looking for online. By writing a variety of articles you will see what makes the most money and what earns only pennies. If you love gardening there will be other readers who do too. Writing what you love shows your passion for writing.

  4. Step 4

    Give content writing a chance but if it's not making you any money you may want to try another type of writing. Perseverance and passion for writing are the keys to success in all types of writing. You may be surprised what type of writing you excel in. If content writing isn't fun for you don't do it.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use a voice recorder and write articles while you clean the house, take a walk, or organize your office.
  • Voice recognition software makes writing articles simple. But make this a reward after you make your first $100 dollars writing content articles.
  • Give yourself some time and set realistic goals. It may not be realistic to write five content articles a day. Start with one content article a day, use a timer so you won't get distracted with web surfing and socializing.
  • Make content writing just one part of your writing life. Writing for magazines, writing copy, or writing resumes may be your niche. Experiment with different writing styles and you will find your voice.
  • Writing content articles can be addictive. Set your writing goals, write your articles, read and rate when all of your articles are written for the day.
