Make Money Writing Articles
Turn Your Passion Into Cash!

Do you like to write? Turn your knowledge into cash! Make money writing articles. The demand for web content articles is growing. To start earning money all you need is access to a computer, an Internet connection, and Site Build It! (SBI)

Site Build It! What is that? It's the writers' secret weapon but more on this later.

There are two basic ways to make money writing articles. You can write for others or you can write for yourself.

A lot of website owners need articles. They are willing to pay a small fee for you to write articles around topics they choose. The articles are typically around 400 to 600 words each.

Each article is written around a keyword or phrase that the website owner has determined many people search for on the search engines. A website about Orlando Florida would need informational articles about these keywords:

• orlando airport parking
• orlando nightlife
• theme parks in orlando
• orlando restaurants
• orlando dinner shows
• orlando discount hotels
• orlando resorts
• sea world orlando
• things to do in orlando
• disneyworld orlando

These are actual keywords used by thousands of people looking for the specific information about Orlando Florida. You would then research each article and write an interesting, information packed article for maybe $25 per article. Is it worth it?

Or you could make money writing articles for yourself and publish them on your own website and earn much more. Here is how you can do it!

You see, a website is nothing more than a collection of articles about a specific topic. You don't need to know any technical programming skills to create a website. You just need to find the best keywords, and write an article that pleases your reader and the search engines.

Let's say you really like Orlando Florida. Could you write informational articles about any of the keywords I discovered above? I'm sure you can.

Of course, you would most likely want to visit some of the theme parks like Sea World and Disney World to research your articles and take some pictures of people enjoying the rides and shows. Your trip may even be tax deductible if it is done for your online business.

A website created around a central theme can be very profitable. I wrote a small website about Sudoku. It earns me thousands of dollars per year. I place Google ads on many of my web page articles. Each time someone clicks an ad, I earn a small commission.

Imagine what you could earn with a website written about a more profitable subject such as Orlando or even your favorite city near where you live. I know that hotel, restaurant, and theme park advertisers are willing to pay you more per click than Sudoku advertisers.

Articles written for websites must be search engine friendly as well as interesting for human readers. I use a search engine optimization tool called Analyze It! (new window) It is one of many traffic building tools that make up the Site Build It! toolbox.

Analyze It! will check your article to see if it meets search engine optimization standards. If you do not use your keyword enough, it will tell you how many keywords to add to your article.

Likewise it will tell you how many keywords to remove if you use too many. The software will also tell you where you need to add or remove your keyword for optimal results.

Once your article is ready to be published, all you need to do is click one button and your article is published online. Site Build It! will automatically notify the search engines of your new article. In due time your article will be indexed on the major search engines.

After you have published at least thirty articles, it will be time to start building links. SBI's action guide will advise you how to achieve this. Follow their advice and your traffic to your website will grow.

After you have some traffic coming to your website, it will be time to monetize your articles. Once you are accepted into Google Adsense program, you can place their ad code on your article pages.

Each time a visitor clicks on an ad, you get paid! You don't have to ship products. You don't have to have a merchant account to handle credit cards. Nor do you even have to be home.

Your articles earn money 24/7 365 days a year. Once a month Google will send you your commission check or direct deposit it into your bank account if it totals over $100.

Neat! Now you see why I love to make money writing articles for my own website. It is so simple! Thanks to Site Build It!, you have all the tools you need to make a website loaded with articles that pays you a steady stream of income.
