Articles have been known to be the driving force in driving traffic to a website. Articles are a factor in giving site high rankings in search result pages. The higher a site ranks the bigger slice of the traffic flow pie he gets. With a huge number in traffic flow, there are more profits and more potential for other income generating schemes as well.

These requirements must be met to obtain the maximum benefits an article will provide for your site. A well written article will catch the eyes and interest of your customers and keep them coming back for more. They would also be able to recommend your site to others.

Here are some tips to help you and assist you in making your articles. Below you will read about four things all articles must have to make it successful and helpful in making your site a profit earning and traffic overflowing site.

• Keywords and Keyword Phrases.

An article must always be centered on the keywords and keyword phrases. As each website visitor goes to a site, there are those who are just merely browsing but actually looking for a specific something. When this happens, a searcher usually goes to a search engine and types in the keywords they are looking for (e.g. Toyota Camry, Meningitis, Tax Lawyer and Etcetera). It could be anything they want.

The Important thing is that you have an article that has the keywords that are related to your site. For example, if you maintain an auto parts site, you must be able t have articles about cars and their parts. There are many tools in the internet that provides service in helping a webmaster out in determining what keywords and keyword phrases are mostly sought out. You can use this tool to determine what keywords to use and write about.

• Keyword Density

Know that you have your keywords and keyword phrases, you must use them fully. An article must have good keyword density for a search engine to “feel” its presence. Articles should at least have ten to fifteen percent of keyword density in their content for search engines to rank a site high in their search results. Getting a high rank is what articles do best for a site.

Keyword density is the number of times a keyword or keyword phrase is used on an article. The number varies depending on the number of words used in an article. An effective article must have a keyword density that is not too high or too low. With a very high density, the essence of the article is lost and may turn off a reader as well as the search engines. It comes off as overeager. A low number may be ignored by the search engines.

• Good Article Content

Like what is stated above, you cannot just riddle an article with keywords. They must also be regarded as good reading materials. Articles must be able to entertain people as well as provide good information and help for their needs. Articles should be written well with correct spelling and good grammar. If you want people to trust you, make your work good and well thought out.

People respond well to figures, facts and statistics. Try to get great information and as many facts as you can. A good and well written article will boost your reputation as an expert in your chosen field or topic. As more people believe in you. They will be able to trust you and your products.

• Linking Articles

And another important thing to remember. If you are going to submit articles to ezines and/or contribute your articles to newsletters and other sites, DON’T ever forget to include a link to your site. A little resource box with a brief description of your site and you should always be placed right after your articles that you have submitted. If people like your articles, they will most likely click on the link directing them to your site.

How to Make $1000 in a week in an online business

So you want to make a $1000 in a week and you don’t know what to do to start making some money. Well, if you are desperate, I would sell something I own like a car or some furniture but I don’t think that is what is being asked. 🙂

So, you want to make money and you don’t want to invest in tools or software to create some product or do a service to sell.

So, with no money, you can use your brain and your writing skills to write some how-to documents to sell with private label rights. So, you would write some how-to create a … or how to do step by step documents and put them up on Fiverr to sell at 0.50 a page or (whatever the market currently charges). It is taking me 10 minutes to write this article and so if I was to write for 40 minutes, how many pages would I have to sell? If it was a good how-to make $1000 a week from home information and I sold it with private label rights so that anyone could put their name on it and use on their websites and I sold it for $5 then I would only need 200 people to buy it in a week to get my $1000.

But of course, you have to first find out what people really want to buy as it might be in more demand to buy a private label rights document on how to build a mailing list using Aweber or it might be in more demand to write a document on the Step by Step to sell on Amazon. It all depends on your market and what they are struggling with so you have to do some research on social media like Facebook or Twitter.

So, you have writing skills but you want to be paid before you start and finish a document then go to Upwork or other freelance sites to find proposals of writing work you can do that you might be able to do from your experience. Even if you are a mom you have experience in care-giving that might be of value to other moms that you could share.
