Your residual income waterfall streams.

In learning how to make money writing, you need to know there are two kinds of money: linear and residual. Linear income is money you get one time only for the work you do. Most people earn this kind of income. It’s called a job, also known as Just Over Broke. Residual income is money you get many times for work you do. If you write a book on a topic people love, you can sell that book year after year, getting paid endless times for work you did once. How does this work with article marketing?

Keywords, baby.

Spend a little time digging up the keyword phrases that people search for, especially long tail keywords that have moderate searches and not too much competition. Armed with a list of these keywords, you can unleash your creativity on articles people can’t wait to read. Give them enough information to begin to know, like and trust you so they’ll click the link in your resource box. Whether you send them to your own product or a product you’re an affiliate for, you can get paid numerous times. Once started, you can’t shut it off!

Are all articles residual income producers?

Not on your life. Ask me how I know and you’ll see a frown on my face. Before I knew better, I wrote articles without a whole lot of thought about keywords, then targeted keywords that were too big and general. How could anyone find my lonesome George article on “home business” when there are at least a hundred million of them available on the web?

How to find keywords that count.

Search for keywords with Google’s keyword tool or Wordtracker and look for keyword phrases with a search volume of 300 to 500 searches per month. Start with one, then search for more. Thirty keywords will give you a great article marketing campaign.

When you find one, measure its competitiveness by doing a Google search with “allintitle:keyword” to reveal how many pages are optimized for that keyword. Anything between 500 to 1000 resulting pages is excellent. Find one? You’ve just struck gold.

Find some more, grab your thinking cap and get busy on your article marketing now that you know how to make money writing for residual income. Are you smiling yet?
