Article Writing

This is one of the most important things you have to learn. Even if you're like me and you thought you could write, you find out very quickly that writing articles for affiliate marketing takes a little more than being able to just write a nice article.

Keywords and how you structure your articles are importatant factors in getting your article seen and read.

Choosing a keyword or a set of keywords is the first step. Finding keywords that plenty of people are searching for and not too many other marketers are competing for is essential to getting your articles viewed.

The way you structure your article will determine whether or not people will actually read it or just glance through it.

For instance, you always want to be left justified and have your font set to just the right size. I always use the default font size. Too small and people have to strain their eyes; too big and they have to lean back in their chair.

Also, keeping paragraphs short makes them easier to read on a computer screen.

You also have to understand how to find what questions people are asking within your niche, and answer them.

This can be done by finding blogs, and forums in your niche, and getting involved in the discussions.

There are so many thing that you need to learn just to write articles and article writing is just one skill. This is why I believe that if you stand a chance at making any money you are going to need help.
