Your first Make Money Online Article

In this Article of Making Money Online we will look at two popular ways of setting up a Blog.

The first is Google’s Blogger and can be found at www.blogger.com. It is free and is easy to setup. The second is Wordpress and can be found at www.wordpress.org. Wordpress is free but it must reside under a domain name, website or hosting site. But before you run off and setup a new blog you need to answer the following questions:

Have you decided on a special niche yet? Hopefully you did this on the last article.

What are the keywords for your niche?

The keywords are very important, so you need to test them first. Take one of your keywords i.e. “Making Money Online” and run it through Google.

My example returned 184,000,000 hits. This is a well developed market segment and will require a lot of work to move you up the search engine results page (serp),

Let’s change the search and see if “Ok to make money online” faired any better. This returned only 33,200,000 hits. This is a much smaller market segment, but still quite large. One that is in the 1 million or less range with lots of paid ads on top and down the side would be a great market.

The point is to pick your market, then your niche and then use Google to find your best set of keywords. Why is this so important? The easy answer is you want to become the top selection in your targeted market.

Now that you have your keywords, you need to pick a blog name or a domain name. This will depend on if you are using Blogger or Wordpress.

Remember, you need to use one of your keywords in your Blog, URL or Domain name. This will help raise you higher in the serps. Not only should you use your keywords in your URL but in you Blog title and the first couple lines of your articles.

Now, let’s write your first article. Remember you want to use your keywords in your article title or the title of your blog is just fine. When writing the article you should also include your keywords in the first few lines of you first paragraph.

Now don’t over use the keywords, the current formula is only 5 uses per (100) hundred words. Google will down grade you if you use it too many times.

In your body it is best to reference an external source to validate your subject. Only one or two external links are necessary.

Make sure in you closing paragraph that you use your keywords one last time in closing.

That it
