How to Write Blogs or Articles To Make Money
There are many ways to make money on the internet today, you could become a salesman at eBay, or Amazon, if you prefer and have the gift of the gab you could become a super affiliate then may be you could start selling other peoples products or services.
But i find that the most satisfying and effective method that just about anyone can do is, yes anyone and that is to write about a particular subject they enjoy maybe doing as a hobby or you specialise ina particular area of expertise, if not then there is always the option to outsource your work.
There is great potential in outsourcing, nothing wrong with getting other specialists to complete your excess work for you!
Sound difficult well your wrong and i want to show you how to get started.
Ok, so you want to make money, but not sure where to start online. Most people can spend hours trawling the Internet looking for great money spinners that don’t require much work..
To be honest, they really don’t exist, you need to put work in to get results out. So where do you start, well the simplest method is writing a blog. Yes everyone is doing this today which leaves me behind. No not true. everyone is different and have a different outlook on how they want to write articles or blogs.
In fact there are many people blog owners companies looking for people like you,you just need to know where to look.
Before you decide to start writing, you need to decide what path you wish to take. There are many money making opportunities around to earn money from posting on a forums, Article writing service, Blogging, or posting comments for others. Some people choose to write articles and also earn a quick buck from just posting comments on other websites to generate interest in their blogs or website. You can purchase pre-written or custom articles on micro job websites like Fiverr. But i find the quality of their work a little poor, but very quick to respond to your job request with a reasonable customer service, if you are looking to outsource then i recommend the need to find a more professional company, with a history of quality work and get a sample first. But if you find them too expensive, Elance or Freelancer offer a great service with greater financial protection than microjobsites. If you just need something to get you started then these methods are ok for beginners. More on outsourcing later on in the blog.
If you decide to write the articles yourself but are new to this blogging industry, it would be a good idea to get a couple of your friends to read your work as this is a cheap, effective method to get the answers you need as they will probably be more honest with you. Firstly you will need to write approximately 1-2 paragraphs, that explains your subject in an easy to read, but not too simple format that it leaves readers so bored at the sight of your masterpiece, that they want to just off the nearest cliff. Ok, slight exaggeration i know, but you get the idea. Now if you want to achieve more exposure to your articles then make sure your articles are written in good well written English, making sure you produce some high quality unique content to your articles is extremely important! You MUST Do your research, spend the time taking notes and references to the topic. If you want your articles for SEO purpose, then you must remember to proof read your articles once you have completed them, you may also consider using a ‘plaigiarism tool’ http://smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker/
Reference purpose only:-
I have provided a link below to a company i found whilst dong my research, You can acquire a 500 word article checked proofread from native English writers to cover Proofread My Essay’s student proofreading service is unparallelled and covers all aspects of spelling, grammar, punctuation, structure and referencing, presenting your ideas concisely and clearly without altering your arguments and ideas. https://proofreadmyessay.co.uk/free-sample here are many more like them so try one that is more suitable to you.
Writing blogs or article writing isn’t as easy as it sounds, is it?
Now once you have finished completing your article, then had it proofread, you are ready to make some cash from your hard work. Remember, you will not make much money on just one article. You need to have prepared at least 20-30 articles.
Many website blog owners do not write all their work themselves. As i mentioned before you can get these many services from websites to help you setup the blog much faster. But, will never be as unique as your own well researched, well written proofread articles.
Once you have your articles, you will need to create a blog, many of these blogs can be found by doing a search on top search engines.
I have listed some of the top blogging tools or Content management systems or CMS as they are also know for you below:-
WordPress
Easily the most accessible and possibly the most commonly used, the strength of WordPress is in its quick installation and the massive user and developer community that results in a vast array of plugins and enhancements for the platform.
Joomla
A quick trip to the Joomla website will reveal the claim that millions of websites are running on the software, and the reason for this is simple – it is extremely customisable, suitable for pretty much any purpose.
Drupal
A popular free and open source CMS, Drupal is often one of the first choices when building a new website. Like many of the other tools listed here, Drupal can be scaled for personal blogs or enterprise mega-sites, and like WordPress there are thousands of modules that can be added to increase functionality.
ModX, Textpattern, Concrete5 and many more!
Now, if you are pressed for time, blogger is a great blogging tool but i find it is not as flexible as many of the other CMS. so i prefer to use wordpress.
Now moving on to creating your blog to share your hard work
Free servers
There are stacks of hosting companies available now to make it easier for a beginner to start your own website or CMS for what ever purpose you choose. I just want to focus on blogging and article writing for now, just to show you the first steps of creating an interesting website that will generate visitors after visitors that will come back over and over again.
Step 1
To get started you will need some Hosting
There are thousands to choose from but i like this one in particular as it has a free reseller program as well as cheap, reliable hosting that also makes adding CMS easy with their 1 click script install facility.
Find out more about the Free scripts
Step 2
Now, here is about the right time to start thinking of a domain name, Many people think that getting top domains is the way to get into the first page results in google. well not true, Why its all about content. if you can attract visitors to your site, then top search engines will love you, moving you to top position. OK, so there are hundreds of websites out there that already have the top position. They do yes, but that’s not to say they will always be there.
Don’t give up before you have even started.
But a great way of getting a great domain is by using googles own free keyword tool, This is a great way of picking a domain that is currently receiving thousands of hits per day. Click button below to test out the tool, you may need an account in the future but right not its accessible to everyone without signup.

Step 3
Once you have your website up and running with domain and hosting package, you can then create your blog. Click to visit wordpress for a video showing you how to get started.
Step 4

Where to now!!
Once you have submitted your website to top search engines, just sit back and wait for the hits to roll in or you could remain active by telling people about your new blog. I know what i would do.. Get active!!
When your website or blog attracts a substantial amount of hits from all over the world you can then start to optimise your website or categorise your blogs / Articles to your members audience preferences. This is where things really start to get interesting.
Now you have your content, you will need to keep this updated daily if this is not to much for you. Twice a day will really get things moving in no time. It all depends on your available time and commitment to your project. After all you are looking into generating cash. make enough cash and you can forget going back to work. Sound good, well listen up..
Now the more articles your website creates that are unique content to search engines, the faster your site will grow. The faster it grows the more people will see your content and start to feel they can rely on you for trusted content. This doesn’t mean you will need to write all the content yourself, far from it.
Now you have started to get many thousands of unique visitors to your website / blog daily. This is where you can monetise your blog to generate the cash you have always wanted.
