6 Step Plan to Becoming A Professional Article Writer
By:Trisha Frauenhofer

Do you want to make lots of money online? Who doesn't, right? Working at home on your own time frame can be wonderful business, but what is the best way to do this? Write articles for publishers. You may be thinking that it would be way to difficult for you, but the surprising answer is that almost anyone can do it.

If you think about it, people who publish are often viewed as experts in the subject they are publishing about. When someone is viewed as an expert, more and more people will buy from him or her.

So, you are having writer's block? Well, who doesn't? This is very common, and can be overcome by simply getting started and do it over and over again. Repetition will make you a better writer, and it will actually make it more fun for you. Whenever you start any new endeavor, you must have a pan, right? O.K., so let's get working on a plan.

1. Start brainstorming. Now, it is highly important that you don't just sit there and think. You need to record your ideas down on paper or on your computer. What are you going to write your articles about? You need to have ideas. So, you have no ideas at all? Well, go look at other articles on the Internet. This might give you some good ideas to get going.

Now, that you have some ideas, think about what you are an expert at. What have your experiences been? How can you help other people with your knowledge? As you are thinking, make sure to record everything that comes to your mind. Even if a title for an article comes across, record it.

2. So, what do you do next? Well, it really depends on your personality. You might like to organize all of your thoughts down and make an outline, or you might want to just start writing from there. It really doesn't matter how you do it. Whatever works for you is what is best.

3. Writing articles should never become boring. If it does, it probably means that you are not putting enough of yourself into it. Write the article like you would write it. Don't try to copy another style of writing you have seen. When people read your article, they want to know who you are.

Just remember not to advertise in an article. People will quickly quit reading. It is an article, not an advertisement. Yes, you can mention your product or service and even give the URL or email address, but it isn't an advertisement.

4. Read your article aloud. Yes, it is good to read it aloud to yourself, but also read it to other people. Preferably, read it to someone who will ask you questions if they don't understand something.

5. Never forget to edit your article. This can be a costly mistake. Use your computer to spell check for you. Have someone else edit it for you as well. Remember, your computer won't catch all grammar errors.

6. Congratulations! Your 6k4you article is finished.

Now it is time to submit the article to as many article directories and e-zines as you can. There are plenty of free article directories out there.
