What not to write about You may look at Google trends or Digg and see that particular topics or stories are being searched for much more than others. Here are a few reasons why these are not the topics that you want to write your post about. Google trends, if you are not familiar with it, is basically a list of the top 100 searches. Because the top 100 searches frequently change, what is hot today will not be so hot tomorrow. As you can see, if you write a post about a topic that appears on Google trends today, it will likely result in a short lived burst of traffic followed by none at all. Digg, like Google trends, consist of mainly topical news stories that are hot today, but likely will not be so hot tomorrow. If you write a post on a hot topic just because it has been dug a thousand times, it will likely result in a short burst of traffic but nothing more. What to write about Unlike the "hot" topics that frequent Google trends or social bookmarking sites, long-term topics that will continue to be searched far into the future also exist; these are the topics that will continue to make you money for months or even years after you write your post. Some good examples of long-term topics include: Small business Business plan Start business Home business Once you have picked several topics to consider, you should research the price per click that keywords for each of your topics are worth. You can do this by going to Google AdWords and entering each of your keywords. If you are stuck for ideas about what keywords you might try, you can go to google adwords and enter a broad search term such as small business. Google's Keyword tool will produce a rather large list of related keywords for you to choose from.
Thanks for this great idea. Unfortunately I don't think I could force myself to write on a topic I do not love, but i will try.
How do I make a profit on my articles After I do the research and write the article, who do I submit it to to make money? Or, are you talking about posting it on your blog and making money from ad word when someone clicks on a product you are advertising? I am really interested in making money from articles that I write. Any additional information you could give me would be great.
