These are a few of the things that you will need to make sure you know how to do before you begin creating your first site:
1. Decide what your niche will be and find keywords/keyword phrases for your articles and site.
2. Create your own articles for your niche, hire someone to do them for you, or get free/buy PLR articles and rewrite them.
3. Decide on what kind of platform to set your site up on. There are many to chose from that are available for free or paid: blogs,
squidoo, your own hosted website, etc...
4. Pick a catchy URL/name for your site, blog, etc...
5. Optimize your website for search engines.
One of the great things about Making money with articles is you can learn everything you need to know right from the Internet without any previous experience if you are a quick learner and a great reader.
If your business is selling information products to stay-at-home moms who want to start their own at-home business, then you want to write articles that demonstrate your expertise in that area. When those readers get to your resource box at the end of your article, they’ll click on the link expecting more of the same great content. Writing articles for dog lovers, for instance, when your target market is aspiring work-at-home moms just doesn’t make sense.
The best explanation I've ever heard of this was by Jimmy D. Brown who coined the term “useful but incomplete”. What he meant was that your articles should be “useful” to your target audience, but “incomplete” in that they should lead the reader hungrily to seek more information from you. They'll turn to your resource box in search of more.
Quality is also a key ingredient to successful articles. While anyone can throw together a few sentences, combine a few paragraphs, paste on a resource box and call it an article, this slap-dash method is not likely to produce the results you desire. Quite simply, quality content is the key for any kind of success in article marketing.
