Ever heard the saying Content is King, well in this business it is and it is something you should be adding to your website daily or weekly, depending on how competitive the market is you are in.

In the beginning I suggest you write you own content because it will help you get a better understanding of what you are selling. To be successful in this business you need to become an expert on the product you are promoting and the more you understand it the more successful you will be. On top of that your readers will trust what you are saying, and you are more likely to make a sale.

Besides that articles do cost money. They usually start from $5 to $10 for a decent article, but can cost up to $30 if the article is highly focused or requires a lot of research, so if you don’t have a lot of money write your own. When your site starts making money you can always have them rewritten professionally.

Keyword Density

A few years ago this was very important and lot of people stuffed their articles with the main keyword they were targeting. There is nothing worse than seeing an article full of the same word, it just makes no sense when you read it. In my opinion this is not necessary any more and to be honest you should rather focus on writing the article for your visitor and not for the search engines. Lets face it the search engines don’t read the articles, people do. So make it a good read and you will find you’ll get a better engagement rate from your visitors which search engines are now starting to monitor.

Length of Article

A good article should be at least 500 to 600 words, if you can do more than that its even better. But don’t do less than this.

Where To Find Good Article Writers

There is only one place I use and I am very happy to recommend it, its called (elance .com), you will find hundreds of writers from all over the world and each of them are experienced in different fields. There are other places on the net but I only use this site.

Duplicate Content

This is something you must definitely not do, because you will be out of business in no time. Search Engines penalize you heavily for this, so make sure your articles are 100% original. Seriously I cannot stress this enough. Copy and you die.

Seriously if you want to succeed in this business content is crucial. I have got into the habit that I always have at least 3 months of articles on hand for each project I do, with my writers continually sending in news ones daily. So make an effort and focus a lot of energy on this because it is really important.

Anyway I think I have covered the basics on this topic, if you have any questions just pop it in the comments section and I will answer it as soon as I can.
