December 29th, 2009

A great way to start profiting from your creative writing is to sign up for a blogging program, create a blog, and post regular content.A regular basis means just that, updating you blog in a consistently, at least twice a week. Remember, if you do not update your article regularly, it will not get the visits or readers needed to profit.

After you have Constructed your Blog

Once you have posted an adequate amount of articles on your blog (more than 10 entries), you can focus on connecting to businesses, online and off, that specialize in connecting professional bloggers to businesses that wish to pay for reviews of their products or services. These businesses might also want you to have links embedded on your website or on certain blog posts.

My 4 Creative Writing Tips

In this article, I will list 4 tips to implement when starting a money-making blog by crafting a deftly profitable online creative writing business: 

1. What Interests You Most?

Blogging doesn’t have to be a full-time gig, but once businesses begin to invest in your blog, you must deliver. Constant readership means you need to be constantly uploading content. You must have an idea of what you are most passionate about. What magazines do you read most often? What excites you most about your current career or job? Once you realize your passion, your drive, and excitement for a particular subject, you can rest your mind assured that constant content and joyous research will follow.

2. Find Keywords that Pay Big

Immediately, after choosing what your desired topic(s) will be, it’s a good idea to search for high paying keywords related to the topic. There are tools such as Overtures Keyword Selector Tool, and many more. Simply perform a Google Search, and then type in profitable online keyword generator, or anything similar to that phrasing. A list of websites offering the information you want will be listed. What is the information you want? The most popular keyword searches from last month.

3. On you mark… Get set… Write!

Once you have your blog’s niche idea, and your identified keywords, you are set to begin the wonderful creative writing process. A thought that can make the blogging experience easier for you to adjust to is to image that it’s like your personal journal. Remain true to who you are, and try to add as much passion into your posts as you have for the subject itself. Incorporate your keywords throughout the content without overdoing it; conversely, try not to only add your keyword just once or twice. Also, online pinging services can assist in alerting the search engines that you have uploaded new content. Services such as Pingomatic and Pingoat are but two of many other services that helps you alert existing readers, as well as many other search engines, that you have something fresh to offer.

4. Place Ads on your Blog

After you have established some readership, and some could be a mere 5 unique visitors a day, you might consider placing some advertisements on your blog. Adsense is, by far, one of the most popular online publishing goldmines. It’s best to place adverts in areas of your blog or blog posts that will receive clicks from visitors. Choose a format that fits the look and feel of your blog in a dynamic way, for example, the 336X280 is a great option to utilize, because it looks like regular links, and not like ads. So remember, the more content you create, the more people will visiting your blog, and the more people that visit your blog the more likely they are to click on ads. The more ads your visitors click on, the more money you make, and just think, you can do it simply with creative writing.
