Writing to Have Income for Life

Writing is a pleasure and a profitable business when done right. Writing for blogs and websites is the toughest job in the world thanks to the competition but as long as you keep a good writing cadence, success is ensured.

1. Write at least ten articles everyday. You are not writing a school paper where you will have a bunch of bored people who will try their best to find a minor mistake in a word and lower your score. On the internet speed is king. If you do not find the right word enter a similar one and keep on writing. If you cannot find any word use The Saurus and find synonyms for it. Google cares about content speed and freshness, so does Facebook users, so do all readers around the world.

2. Never stop writing because you are not in the mood for it. Writing is not a “I do not feel like doing it today”. You are creating income for life. As long as you are alive and your content is published, every reader will generate income. As long as the page is online someone can come from a search engine, a competitor website, a social network or from an email link and what you wrote is important to at least two people in the entire world. Write about a serious illness you had and see how other people are happy to see your experience and what you did to get better. Lance Armstrong shared his story on his book “It’s Not About The Bike” and it became a best seller and an inspiration to everyone on the planet. You may not be Lanc Armstrong but you are someone.

3. Use Google keyword tool to see if the topic you are writing about is hot. Even if there are less than 100 searches a month, you may score on the top and 50 visitors a month for a single article per month will always make some money. Of course you should avoid topics with less than 1000 searches per month or you are writing for no one.

4. And the last rule is to make writing the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night. It should become important to you like breathing is. How long could you go without breathing? Writing must be the same. If you can go one minute without writing you are not going to succeed. A good example, Lance Armstrong rides his bicycle everyday, Bruce Lee trained everyday.

Do not think of writing and retiring after. Even retired you can increase your income just by writing more. Each article will make a difference in your income and in the world. No newspaper, no information, no matter how old it is, will go unnoticed on the web.
