**  Article Creation Techniques  **

Articles can generate thousands of hits monthly to a web site as well as encourage orders for your own products or others you are selling as an affiliate.  These few ideas show how to all but guarantee your articles make big profits for you.

*  Instead of writing articles you only think might attract thousands of readers, look for articles you know will interest thousands of readers, based on those that are already widely read and create another article on the same theme.  At article directories like www.ezinearticles.com and www.articlebeach.com you can click on links to view most frequently read articles, some of which have been read thousands of times in just a few months. 

*  At www.ezinearticles.com currently the most frequently read articles are about AdSense and investment opportunities, at www.articlebeach.com the top articles also feature AdSense and several about hair styles.  The trick now is to create an article on a similar theme, but make your article much better than those already at the top.  Give yours a better title, pack it with keywords and phrases people most often use to find the kind of information contained in those high ranking articles. 

Next look for a product to promote in the resource box of your articles and expect lots of visits and potentially a great many sales for your own products or for affiliate products located at ClickBank.com and PayDotCom.com.  You might also add Google AdSense to your site as another very profitable advertising stream. 

*  As an example you could write an article about a high interest Google AdWord topic such as mesothelioma – it’s a type of cancer caused by close proximity to asbestos and it is one of AdSense's top paying keywords.  Upload the article to major directories such as www.ezinearticles.com and www.goarticles.com.  In your resource box mention there is more information about mesothelioma at your web site or blog where Google serves AdSense promotions.  But be aware that Google does not favour sites created purely to earn money from AdSense, there must be some other reason for your site’s existence, such as to gather names or market another product, so at least offer an affiliate product at the site or create your own short report about your chosen subject from which to grow a list to encourage regular visits to your AdSense commission generating site.

*  Combine two or three topics from most frequently viewed articles and create an article that appeals to a wider audience than your original information sources.  So for example, if an article about hair styles has been viewed 10,000 times, and another about wedding dresses has been viewed 20,000 times, and another about getting married in Hawaii has 23,000 views, it follows that your article ‘Hair Styles and Dresses for Hawaiian Weddings’ will attract many more thousands of visitors from across a broad range of topics. 

*  Write one long report, about 10,000 words, and divide it into two equal parts.  Add the second part to your blog or web site.  The first part which introduces the subject and leads to the second part at your site should now be cropped into short self-contained articles, no less than 350 words each.  Those articles should be uploaded to top article directories each with a resource box directing visitors to the site featuring part two of the report where you are also promoting books and revenue streams.

*  Write articles about any and every topic you fancy, thousands of them if you like, and add them to major directories, then link each resource box back to a site featuring thousands of products earning a commission for you on every sale.  Some great affiliate sites can be used here, including from ClickBank which just happens to be most top affiliates' top web site.  Here you don’t have to work hard to find article topics or products to sell, you can just throw everything into the equation, literally writing about anything for which a product might exist on ClickBank and leaving those inbound links to get your destination site linked high in search engines and attract lots of visitors through articles at major article directories.

*  Write your articles in two parts, each self-contained so no one reading part one feels cheated if they lack time or don’t make it through to part two of the article on your own web site or blog where it sits side-by-side with monetising features such as your own products or AdSense or other affiliate promotions.  The resource box of the first part of the article must give a very good reason for the readers to click through for the rest of your article.  This is usually accomplished by making your articles very informative, enjoyable to read, packed with information and proving to the reader your articles are worth reading.  You can also use specific time sensitive and bonus offer devices to people to read part two of the article.

*  Leave an important question unanswered in your article or introduce another important question in the resource box.  This incites curiosity and will generate more clicks than a bland resource box saying ‘Part two of this article can be read at www.mysite.com’.

Instead say:

‘If you enjoyed this article about making money from ClickBank products but you still don’t believe it’s possible to make thousands of dollars a month from ClickBank working just a few hours a week, go read part two of this article where you’ll even see my own facsimile ClickBank checks proving I really do teach what I practice.’

*  Offer a free gift at part two of the article.  So your resource box might say ‘Part two of this article shows how to implement these AdSense ideas on your site and you can also download a special video production I created to show you how I create simple web sites than make me $$$$s a month from AdSense even working part time on a limited budget’.

*  Make your first article a specific number of points about your subject, such as ‘Ten Things You Didn't Know About Boxer Dogs’ and in the resource box say another ten things readers didn’t know can be found at your web site.  Give a few cryptic clues about these other facts such as ‘In part two of this article you’ll find another ten things most people don’t know about Boxer dogs, such as why a specific colour of Boxer dog was removed from duty on the battlefields during the Second World War, and how …..’

*  Make money right away from your articles by selling them to people who can’t write, won’t write, or need more articles than they could ever realistically create themselves.  Some Internet marketers upload thousands of articles every week to the Internet, on all manner of subjects, usually to attract search engine traffic to a site selling items related to whatever the topics of those articles.  Some just want articles to upload to create links to other web sites selling products and services totally unrelated to most of their article subjects.  Sell your articles on eBay or via Google Adwords.  I recommend eBay over other methods as a means of letting market forces determine the real value of your work as opposed to guessing and potentially under-guessing how much your articles are worth.

*  Take a book from the public domain and convert the chapters into articles.  Choose carefully and you will probably be able to use them more or less untouched.  Upload articles as separate posts to a blog focussing on the topic of the book.  Include keywords to attract search engine visits and to generate AdSense commissions. 

*  Write and upload part articles to your site or blog and charge a fee to access the remainder of the article.  Information is valuable and people should and will pay for valuable information you provide which saves them time otherwise spent researching it themselves.  The best way to do this is to upload part of the article to the Internet, then add the entire article (with that sample part article still in place) to another part of the Internet preferably requiring user name and passwords to enter the site.  PayPal is a great money taking service to process this type of thing.  You can easily add the PayPal payment button to your web site using a small html code fragment – don’t worry, all blogs show how to do this – and after payment PayPal can even take the buyer directly to the other site to read their article.  If user name and password are required you can use an autoresponder to link direct to your customer once payment appears in the email box used for this PayPal payment.

*  Write and upload useful articles and invite readers to leave a donation to compensate for your time and effort in creating the information and to help offset expenses.  Again, PayPal has a useful device for adding Donation buttons, accepting payment and thanking donors.  Many people will offer payment for useful information and this is not like begging; you are rightfully suggesting payment for a job well done.

*  Have sites monetised with AdSense and one more essential product offer.  Use long books as separate chapter articles and upload five or six hundred words per page running consecutively through the main book via pages 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., on your web site.  Have each page linked to the next page in the sequence.  Try to end one page at a crucial part of the article which forces readers to move between the pages.  You could also end pages with just part sentences that the reader must click through to another page to read the remainder.  This constant clicking through is perceived by search engines as a site providing such vital information that visitors are so very keen to access and will lift your site high in search engine listings when anyone searches for information such as that you are providing.  Add as many pages as possible and keyword optimise each page to make your site even more attractive to search engines.  This way you can enjoy highly targeted traffic at little or no cost to yourself.  The more visitors you get, the greater the number of people who will click on your AdSense and other promotions, and the more money you will eventually make. 

*  When you create a link from one page to the next rather than just hyperlink wording like ‘click here’ use some of the keywords people might actually key in to find information such as you offer.  So, for example, a site dedicated to soap making for which your chosen keywords are ‘soap making recipes’ make the link read something like ‘click here for more soap making recipes’.  It all  helps to get your site rank high in search engine listings.

*  Write an article that leads to a free report which is essentially just a longer version of the article but which includes links to affiliate products your readers might like to buy.  The fact you offer a free report before asking visitors to your site to click on affiliate links to buy right now is highly beneficial to your chances of actually making a sale.  For one thing, getting people to download a free report for which they provide their name and email address lets you grow a mailing list of people to contact later about a particular product or related products.  Another major benefit has to do with the ‘Rule of Seven’, so called because most people need to study a site several times, typically seven, before deciding to buy.  It’s all to do with trusting the person at the other end of the site.  So anyone clicking just once on your site might easily move away and be lost forever. Having them download a free report gives them chance to remember you later or for you to contact them again.  Make sure your free report has lots of mentions of your business and your web site and email address, and use active links which readers can click to access your information directly from the pdf to the Internet.  Make a point of telling readers they must first of all be connected to the Internet to link directly from your pdf file.

*  Write an article that gets people to email for more information which not only collects their email addresses but also sends an autoresponder message immediately afterwards.  ‘Strike while the iron is hot’ is a maxim that applies very well to online selling because if your product details aren’t immediately accessible most people will move on and shop elsewhere.

*  As for the last idea, write an article that gets people to email for more information and to leave their contact details but this time set up the autoresponder to deliver an email that looks more like a quality web site, with product details and pictures and of course a button to buy the product now. 

*  Write articles about your products and send to actual or potential Joint Venture partners.  Tell them to rewrite the articles slightly as search engines allegedly blot out duplicate content and remind your partners to add their own affiliate details at the end of the article.
