How to Write Articles That Make You Money

You may be wondering how to write articles that make you money, whether you are a freelance writer (or want to become one), or are trying to promote affiliate products or your own. You know that articles are an effective tactic for attracting interest - but you also know that you have to write a good article in order for it to be read, or in the case of a freelance writer, sold.

How can you write articles that make money?

1. If you're selling affiliate products or those you have created yourself. Create an attention-grabbing title. If the title doesn't capture someone's attention, they sure aren't going to read the rest of the article!
Write a good introductory paragraph, then write just enough in the body to entice the reader to want to know more. Include a good call to action in your author resource box.

2. Making money through writing. If you are trying to make a living as a freelance writer or by offering your services to website owners, your articles should be unique, on topic and interesting.
Again, you want a great title and introductory paragraph. The body of the article should expand on the introductory paragraph, delivering what was promised. Most of the time you will want to use a casual, friendly tone of voice that most people would enjoy reading.

Always check for spelling and grammar errors, otherwise not many people will want to pay you for your services if you aren't capable of checking your work before submitting it to the customer.
People like to read articles that are informative and enthusiastic; what most readers do not like are articles that are dull or read like they were written by an English professor. Write in a natural way, the way you would speak to a good friend for the best results.

Now you know how to write articles the make you money, so get to it! The more you write, the better you will become - and the better the results of your efforts.
