Below are the basic rules to stick by, if you follow these then you’ll do well.
1. Title:
Use your Keyword phrase in the title e.g ‘7 rules how to make money online writing articles’ the keyword phrase being ‘how to make cash online’
2. Body:
write about 300-500 words about the topic you have chosen. Research before hand is obviously required, such as keywords and articles on the same topic.
a) Paragraph 1- When you begin your article state the reason for the article and why it exists.
b) Paragraph 2 – Talk about the subject and the problem. Again you can find this out from your own research.
c) Paragraphs following – Talk about ways to overcome this problem. The trick to writing articles, is keep it short and to the point. A paragraph should be no more than 2 – 3 sentences long. Don’t panic if you go over that amount though, it’s not a strict rule… the article police won’t be banging down your door. Bang!… Bang!… Bang!… back in a bit, someone’s at the door.
d) Final Paragraph – Talk about the conclusion, how to fix it or overcome the problem.
Now, one thing to keep in mind is that it doesn’t have to be perfect, a masterpiece or a novel. Once you start in this industry, you’ll realize that from the beginning. If you stick at it you can easily make money online writing and submitting articles.

4. Add you Affiliate link:
Sign up with the affiliate program and get you affiliate link to promote in your article. Sometimes you’ll be ask to provide your link in a resource box from the article directory.
The resource box is a few paragraphs explaining a bit a you and the product you are promoting. The way to do this is to be subtle with your wording, try to keep away from ‘Do This’ or ‘Click Here’. You don’t have to… it’s just something I like to keep in mind.

I know someone who writes an article a day and earns good money online from these articles. Finding the right program to promote is also essential to your success on how to make money online. Chose wisely and you’ll reap the rewards.
