Writing Articles at the Speed of Sound

Friday, January 30th, 2009
Darryl Harris asked:


You may have heard article writing is one of the fastest ways to make money online. Well… it is, but taking hours to write a few articles really turn you off?

Stay with me here, soon I will tell you my secret to writing articles so you it will make your head spin.

Article writing has exploded in the internet marketing area the last couple of years. It will create a huge wave of traffic to any website you choose is one of the main reasons.

I’m not here to go into detail all the ways article writing can help you make money at home. I am here to tell you how to write articles at the speed of sound. If you want to know more about all the ways it helps with your marketing, simply sign up for my 3 day e-course below.

When writing articles first you need to pick what keywords to use. Then go search for article directories. All you do then is search inside your favorite directories for the keyword or keywords you are using.

Then, find two or three articles you like for that keyword and print them out. Pick out parts you like out of each and put them in your own words. Be sure to make your own good title.

Hold your horses, I haven’t told you the fast secret yet.

All you need to do to write articles at the speed of sound it dictate them to a speech to text program. It will do all of the writing in one third of the time.

This is going to save you countless hours with your article work.

I have used Dragon Naturally Speaking, the most popular program available and it turned out great. Then when I bought a new computer with Widows Vista on it, a speech to text program was already built in.

Just do a search for speech to text in your Vista search, you will easily find it.

Both programs take awhile to set up, but don’t let this get you down. Look at the big picture, how many countless hours you will save later article writing.

You may never get them to be 100% but a few touch ups is well worth it when you are pumping out articles in three times faster.

And the more you use the programs the better they respond and recognize your voice commands.

Now you can be the fastest gun in the West writing articles to promote any website of your choice. You should have no problems dominating your chosen keywords if you pump out enough quality articles.

I like to share anything that can help people make their online businesses faster and more productive. If you know anyone that would be interested in this tip please feel free to send them a copy of this article.

With millions of people on the internet every day, I think there is enough room for all of us internet entrepreneurs to share the wealth.

Article Marketing - How To Write Articles Of Quality While Implementing SEO Strategy.

Thursday, January 15th, 2009
Kanaga Siva asked:


Article Marketing has certainly come to stay. The Mantra often repeated is “Write Articles if you want free targeted traffic”. Is this possible? Yes, it is possible only if you are prepared to implement certain strategies in your article marketing.

To be successful you have to write articles that are of quality which the audience would love to read, while simultaneously implementing your SEO strategy.

First and foremost you must keep in mind that the articles you write are for the audience and not for the search engines. Hence you should be knowledgeable about the topic you write thus displaying your expertise. If you lack sufficient knowledge, it will be wise to upgrade your knowledge or do some research in the internet. Thus you will be able to write some good content displaying your expertise.

When you write articles ensure that the articles are related to the theme of your website. If your article is about Rose Gardens and your website is about Internet Business Opportunities, visitors arriving on your website from your article will click away in a moment. However good your article might be this will be the outcome because the visitor is interested only in Rose Gardens.

Never overlook the fact that the audience is anxious to learn something from you, pick up some tips and ideas and implement them when the opportunity arises. Hence it is important that your articles are educative, easily understood and in simple language. Avoid technical jargon as far as possible.

However good your article might be it is important that your article catches the eye of the audience when they scroll down the various articles in the article directories. This will be possible only if you have a powerful captivating title for your article. You have to spend some time over this but do not mislead the audience.

Once you have decided on the topic of your article, the first SEO strategy you have to implement is to identify suitable keywords for the article and target these keywords in the content. You should judiciously place these keywords in the content without overdoing it. If you overdo it search engines will consider it as keyword stuffing and might penalize you.

A great SEO strategy adopted to attract the search engine spiders is to have your important keyword in the title of your article. This strategy will work out even better if the keyword happens to be the first word of the title.

The resource box at the end of the article is the nerve centre of the article and the author should aim to get the maximum benefit from it. Write a few words about yourself or your product that will impress the reader and also have a life link to your website. Here a useful SEO strategy you should adopt is to have an Anchor Text optimized link. Your anchor text should include your preferred keywords or keyword phrase. By doing this website may well get ranked higher in the search engine results for your preferred keywords.

The success of your Article Marketing depends on how well you can write articles of quality while implementing the SEO strategy, keeping in mind of course that your audience comes first.

ultra2gb asked:


i would like to put some articles on my site, for example some articles from fwd site or vogue.co.uk site.

i noticed, that many portals are using articles from those sites, and puting them as ‘news’, just with postscript “article/news from site xxx.com”

so my question is: is it legal to use articles and news and write them down into website just with postscript and link to the owner of the article, without license agreement from the owner?

Writing Articles For The Web That Get Read Is Easy When You Know This

Saturday, January 10th, 2009
Karen Fritscher-porter asked:


Writing articles for the web is a learned skill. And you can learn it. In fact, you can master it. Once a professional writer in the print publishing world, I had feature articles published by some well-known names (Woman’s Day, The Washington Post, Family Circle, Christian Science Monitor and more). Fortunately, as a self-publisher online, I’m able to transfer some of my professional print writing skills to this form of online publishing. I don’t struggle with writing articles. And that makes filling my websites with useful, well-written information a lot easier for me. But it’s not so for everyone. Some people struggle with article writing. Maybe that’s you.

Do you struggle with writing articles for your website readers? Do you want to write articles for other newsletters and websites that get free website traffic for you, or just more traffic to your website? If you struggle with article writing or if people don’t read your articles, I may be able to help you. While writing content for the web and writing content for print publications is not exactly the same, there is some overlap. Here are some things I’ve learned about both content formats that might help you write better articles for both web publishers and for your websites.

Your article should have:

ORIGINAL CONTENT - The one word magazine writers hate to hear their editor say is “fresh”. Editors frequently use the word as a reason to reject submissions as in “your tips are just not fresh enough”. Editors want originality. Their publishers want originality. Readers want originality. Everyone is in agreement about wanting original article content.

But if something has been said or written about a thousand times before, you CAN still say it again. You just need to have your own original spin and be using your own words (that means no plagiarism too). You need to have your own writing style or personality (which you’ll develop with time). My research tells me that originality is what both readers AND search engines want from online content. They want original content. The articles at your website need to be “fresh”. The articles you submit to publishers need to be “fresh”. With practice and persistence and a little bit of diligence thrown in you CAN write original articles for the web or for your website (to add diversity to all those reprint articles collecting on your site).

CATCHY TITLE - The online experts say you need key words in your online article titles or headlines to catch the attention of the search engines in the right way. That means you need to put the term or phrase you think people are searching for on your subject near the front of your article title (or at least somewhere in it). But you also have to remember that you’re still writing for readers. So on top of making your article title work for search engine optimization, it still has to entice viewers to read it.

You don’t necessarily need a clever article title, just one that appeals to your target audience and briefly describes the article topic. If I’m looking to lose weight quickly you can be certain “Weight Loss - 3 Easy Steps to Lose 10 Pounds in 10 Days at Home” will catch my attention. If I want to know what Britney Spears is doing (and by the way, I don’t), a title like “Guess What Britney Spears Did Now” will catch my attention and make me read further. But if I’m trying to learn the difference between a flat panel monitor and a flat screen, I’m perfectly happy reading an article with a boring title such as “Flat Panel Monitors and Flat Screens Defined for the Home User”. That title addresses my need at the time for specific information I’m seeking on the web. And it has your key phrase “flat panel monitors” right in front too.

GREAT LEAD - The best title in the world won’t keep readers engrossed in your article, if the first paragraph stinks. In the print world, editors happily rewrite their writers’ leading paragraphs to make the lead just so. There are MANY ways to write a leading paragraph. Just remember that your goal is to intrigue the reader while giving him a clear indication of what he’s about to learn in your article. And the SEO experts say the first sentence, or near the beginning of your first paragraph, is a good place to put that key word or phrase once that you’re focusing on for the search engines’ sake.

GOOD GRAMMAR AND SPELLING - Sloppy writing affects your credibility and makes you look lazy. And it makes for a bad reader experience. If you want to keep readers coming back to your website for the content (or publishers coming back to article directories to use your content), get a grasp on your spelling and grammar. A dictionary and grammar book by your side while proofreading your article will be helpful.

CONCISE FLOW - In high school, many students fluffed up their articles with extra words when the teacher assigned them the task of writing a certain word count. That trick isn’t useful after high school (if you ever considered it useful). Most likely you have plenty to say about your topic if you know it well or if you’ve researched it well. Tight concise writing is as appreciated in the online world as it is in the print publishing arena. Don’t repeat yourself or use excessive words to make a point or statement. That will help keep your copy clean. And know that concise writing doesn’t necessarily mean short articles. You don’t have to write 300 word articles. You don’t have to write 3,000 word articles. Just don’t write a 1,200 word article that really can be written in 500 words.

It’s these writing techniques that make you a professional writer and not a sloppy amateur whose writing for the web doesn’t get read. And it’s these techniques that will help you to add better content to your website and get your articles published by other websites and newsletters. And good article writing means more traffic for your website.
