Good Articles Make Good Money
Here’s a tip about how to write a good article.
As a rule, on the Internet articles make more money than journal entries, poems, photos and short stories. I’m talking family entertainment. Those of you new to Triond will find this out soon enough. If you’re not concerned with making money you have nothing to worry about. You won’t make much. For those of you who would like to see a steady increase of money, no matter how small that increase is, this article is for you.

If you want to have a continuing increase of money from your online writing, what should you do? The problem is, how to write a good article?
Well, we can all agree on some of the things that make a good online article. Some of the things are: good, concise writing, interesting content and obvious knowledge of the subject matter on the part of the writer. Lots of good articles have this. What you are looking for is an edge. You want your article to stand out.
I have two words for you: argumentative writing.
I touched on argumentative writing in another article. I would like to expand on what I wrote before. Argumentative writing means the writer takes a position that the writer admits may not be correct. The writer has doubt. In the article, the writer may even include evidence that may be in opposition to the position that the writer is the advocate of.
Many of you may think this argumentative writing is foolish.
In the hands of a writer that makes a more convincing argument for the opposition, it is foolish.
In the hands of a good writer, it’s a game changer. The home team always wins.

shanthu, argumentative writing can be very subtle. It is not always obvious that it is argumentative writing.

Lord Banks, argumentative writing can be very useful.
November 8th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Frances, when a writer admits she my be wrong the reader has less of a feeling that an article is a scam.
November 8th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Teves, thanks for the comment. Argumentative writing can make us all better writers.
November 8th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Papa, have you contacted Triond to ask them why it takes so long for your content to show up?
November 8th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Jenny, argumentative writing is some I was exposed to in college five years ago.
November 8th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Chan Lee, argumentative writing is not easy to do but it is worth doing.
November 8th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
hey , it is really helpful for new comers like me..thanks a lot
November 8th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Netty, taking a side makes an article more interesting. There’s a protagonist and an antagonist.
November 8th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Jane, I am learning more about writing every day even after all these years.
November 8th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Lillyrose, this article is an example. The line, “Many of you may think this argumentative writing is fooling” is me admitting that I may be wrong.
November 8th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
JJ, in this article the line, “Many of you may think this argumentative writing is foolish” is an exaple of argumentative writing. The writer is admitting he may be wrong, that there is another side of the argument.
November 8th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Well said.
November 8th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
That’s right. Good advice – thank you!

I have to agree with you. My first love is fiction but I seen to make more money with non-fiction articles. Good tips, thanks.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
It’s human nature to have a competitive character within. Argumentative writing makes one ponder on his ore her own stand. Keep the great tips coming.
