If you write articles regularly for sites that pay you with a percentage of their advertising revenue - like Helium.com
for example - are you maximizing the cash you could be earning?
If you're not paying attention to keywords, the chances are you're not earning as much as you could be.
Okay, so what exactly are keywords, and how on earth can they bring you more cash for your articles?
Let me explain.
Think about what happens when you search for a term or word in the search engines. They bring up relevant results based on the word or words you typed in. Fair enough. But how does this affect your article earnings?
Sites like Helium pay you according to how many times your article is read. The more people find it and read it, the more money you make. It's a straightforward and effective system, and it's earned me well over $100 on Helium so far.
But how do people find your articles in the first place?
Some will browse the site and come across them. Some will regularly read articles on a particular subject they're interested in. There may be people who like your work and read anything new you submit.
But you'll also get another group of people who find your article via search engine results. And the more you know and understand about using keywords and relevant search terms within your articles, the more hits you'll get… and the more money you'll make.
Every time you write a new article, think about its topic. What kind of terms would people type into a search engine if they were looking for information on this topic? The more of these you can legitimately incorporate into your article, the more likely you are to get hits directly from a search engine - and every one of those hits is worth money to you.
We're only talking in terms of cents here, of course, but if you write lots of articles and each one has relevant search terms and keywords in it, then you will notice a big difference in your cash flow.
Try it. You'll soon see a difference!
