More information on article writing sites

Previously i had written a general post on how to earn money online writing articles and today i want to  go in depth on article writing in Kenya. As i had previously said you first need to know how to write good articles. The articles need to be easy to read and understand with an even flow in the delivery of the ideas.

Next you need to learn how to use Search Engine Optimization or SEO in short. Statistically speaking a n article writer who knows how to use SEO is capable of earning up to 5 times more income than a normal article writer so it is imperative that you learn how to use SEO language in your articles. The basic idea of SEO writing is that you use certain words and phrases in your articles in order to obtain a higher importance in search engines which enables your articles to have more views and to be more easily accessible.

Next you need to know where to sell your articles. There are three main ways of earning money by writing articles. First you can earn money as a freelance article writer in sites such as Odesk and Elance by bidding for jobs to write articles for clients. I have to say it is generally quite cut-throat in nature but there are some who are able to use this as a means of earning money online by writing articles.

The second way you can earn money by writing articles is by getting accounts in sites that pay an upfront amount when the accept your articles. These sites are normally very strict in validating articles by checking for plagiarism and authenticity of the articles. Once they accept your article the money is directly wired to your bank account or Paypal account. Such sites include associatedcontent.com, custom-content.com and demandstudios.com.

The other method of earning money from you articles is by registering with revenue sharing sites. These sites don't actually pay you directly but whenever your article is viewed and an ad is clicked on that page you get money from Google ad-sense. The trick here is to write SEO articles to enable you to get more views and earn more revenue. Sites that deal with revenue sharing include helium.com, bukisa.com, triond.com and hubpages.com.

As you can see article writing in Kenya is something you can easily set up. I would advise prospective Kenyan article writers to begin with revenue sharing sites as you learn how to write using SEO and slowly go to upfront payment sites. I have lots of eBooks on article writing and SEO writing that i am willing to share with anyone.
