Making Money on the Web – eHow Writing Tips

1. Always post a picture with your article. You can find free photos from Flickr and other photo sharing sites. Save the photo to your computer and name it to correspond with your title for better SEO.

2. Keep the articles short and simple. You can make just as much money with a short article as with a long one. Focus on writing lots of shorter articles rather than a few long ones. It should only take you 15 minutes to write an article. You can do research on your topic using Google if you get stuck. Just reword what you find. This is the key to making money on the web – lots of content.

3. Keep the article between 5 and 8 steps. The more articles you have, the more money you will make. If an article gets too long, break it down into 2 or 3 articles. For example you are writing an article about How to Lose Weight. That is a very broad topic. You could have several articles like, “How to Lose Weight with Acai Berry Juice, How to Lose Weight without a Gym Membership, How to Lose Weight after Pregnancy, How to Lose Weight after the Holidays.” Make the article specific. You will be able to write more articles if they are about very specific topics.

4. The most important tip – DO YOUR KEYWORD RESEARCH before posting your article! The trick to eHow is learning how to identify what keywords pay the highest and include those in your article. You don’t want to just slap up a bunch of articles for the sake of posting them. Making money on the web is all about optimizing keywords. Watch this video that explains how to choose high paying topics and keywords.

5. EHow is not formatted to include hyperlinks in the article body. But, you can put them in the resources section at the end. ALWAYS TRY TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE RESOURCES SECTION. You can link to another of your eHow articles, your blog, your eBay or Etsy store, or your Facebook fan page. Take advantage of the traffic eHow provides and put one of your links in front of the readers.
