Too many people simply swap their time for money, and the rates of pay for doing anything online is extremely low if you only ever get paid once for it – think about online surveys and the like.

So to build real keys to abundance, you need to set up online projects that can be easily monetized and then ideally you get paid for clicks through to advertisers’ websites on an ongoing basis. This is exactly the kind of model used by several large search companies, the biggest of which is Google Adsense. Google serves up ads to your site based on the content of your webpages. So if you build yourself a blog about how you changed your diet and exercised and lost a load of weight, you can incorporate Adsense ads, and Google will find you some ads for weight loss and exercise products. You get paid whenever somebody comes along and clicks through to the advertised site. Simple!

The foundation of any income on the internet is visitors, and if you are running a product based informational or review site, you really want search engine visitors, not people finding you through social bookmarking sites. The former are looking to spend money, the latter are looking only to spend time.

One of the best ways to get to grips with generating traffic to your sites – which will then lead to higher incomes – is to follow the rules laid out by the Keyword Academy. They concentrate the plan of action into five steps:

1. Select good keywords
2. Make a website about the subject
3. Create compelling content that engages the reader and adds value
4. Do some promotion and marketing of your new site
5. Rinse and repeat until wealthy

If you just follow these simple rules, and promise yourself that you will take another baby step each and every day, then you will succeed. To find out more details about this deceptively simple method, read the Keyword Academy review.

There are number of options that you can choose including making your own websites or selling your articles. However one of the easiest ways to get started is to publish your articles on revenue sharing sites such as Word Wolf or Hub Pages. These sites place Adsense ads on their pages and when someone clicks on an ad that appears on your article page you will receive a share of the revenue. It’s easy to get started and this article will show you exactly how to do this and start to make money writing about your passions and interests.

The first thing to do is to register for a free account with a revenue sharing site. Some of these sites, like Word Wolf, give you a larger share as you write more articles so it might be best to stick to one or two sites rather than spread around your articles. You will also need to set up an adsense account. You will need to have already published some articles before applying for an account. Adsense doesn’t specify rules for this but the general feeling is that you need at least five, preferably more, published articles before you apply. Once you have some articles approved and published you should give the address of your profile when you apply. For Word Wolf this will be an address that looks like this – http://wordwolf.com/author/yourusername.html. This will allow the adsense team to see all your published articles.

What Should You Write About

This is not quite as straight forward as it may seem! Of course you’ll want to write about something that you feel passionately about or are really interested in and it always helps to include personal experiences to make your article unique. Is this enough? Placing your article on a well established site will help to get your article seen but there are some steps you can take to maximise the number of people who visit your page. Let’s talk about how to get search engine traffic. When you want to find something on the net you go to a search engine, usually Google, and type something into the search box. Now what you want is for your article to be at the top of the search engines result pages (SERPS) when people are looking for information that you have in your article.

How to get Your Article Seen

There are two things to consider here. What might someone type into the box to find your article and how can you get your article on page 1 for that term? This is a huge topic, known as search engine optimisation (SEO) and if you are really serious about how to make money writing online you’ll need to do some research on this. For now let’s consider how to choose a good ‘keyword’. Google has a tool that you can use for this called Google’s adwords tool. If you put your general topic into this tool you can see the keywords that people are searching for and how many people do that search every month. Be sure to click on ‘match type’ and choose ‘exact’. You will now need to check out the competition for that keyword by typing it into a Google search and looking at the types of sites that are at the top of the SERPS.

This has been a very brief introduction to how to  make money writing articles online but I hope it has tempted you to get started! You will need to write many articles to make a good income so what are you waiting for? Get started today!
