Article Writing – Turbo-Charge Your Articles For Instant Profits

Article writers are in high demand. If you become proficient, you’ll find all the writing jobs you can handle. However, there’s a big difference between generic Web content, and turbo-charged articles which bring in real money.
Here’s how to turbo-charge your article writing, so you get a flood of cash into your PayPal account.
1. Write as you speak. Ever notice that some articles just sound odd? The writer churned out the content and didn’t bother to read it over. (Likely because he or she had one of those “write 100 articles for $1 each” gigs.) Take a minute to read each article out loud carefully. Does it sound stilted? Would you talk that way? If not, change it until it sounds right.
2. Research your topic. We’re not talking about spending hours in some musty library, but you should at least spend a few minutes digging up something new about your keyword or subject. For instance, if you write about weight loss, think about ways you can bring a new angle to this topic. You might consider writing about weight loss and sleep or how weight loss can or cannot change other aspects of someone’s life. Don’t just parrot what countless others have said.
3. Use keywords effectively, and forget about “density”. Some beginning writers and Internet marketers overstuff their articles with keywords. Search engines have methods of detecting this and penalize those who overuse keywords.
4. Proofread, proofread, and proofread. Always read your work before you submit them. If possible do this a day or two after you write them: you’ll catch more errors if you come at them with a fresh eye. If possible have someone else read them too. We writers are often blinded by our words: We know what we meant to say and we assume that we said it. Another person will be able to catch those little mistakes that can sink even the best work. Sure, you should also use a spell checker but don’t rely solely on it to check your work.
5. Write what you know (or spend time on research). If you write mainly on skin care and other health-and-beauty topics, it may be quite a stretch to write about environmental engineering (and vice versa).
Don’t accept a gig writing articles about topics about which you know little unless you know you have enough time and resources to learn what you need to know. If you’re fortunate, your client will be the type that welcomes questions. If so, ask them. It will help to build a relationship. However, such clients are rare. Don’t be afraid to turn down such a gig, a better one will turn up.
Take the time to turbo-charge your articles — it’s time well spent. You’ll soon get a reputation as a quality writer, and you’ll be booked solid.
