Day 1 - Choosing Your Topic

Here's where the Article Writing Course begins:

Whether you are new to affiliate business or you have been
around for a while, you probably already know what topics
you will use to choose the products you sell. These same
topics can be used to write your articles.

We covered keyword research in the main affiliate marketing
course. For those who haven't read that course yet, we will
briefly touch on keyword research here.

First, you need to choose about three general topics in
which you are interested. If you choose more than three
topics, you may want to consider writing under different
pen names. You are less likely to be taken seriously by
readers if are considered a know-it-all on too many topics.

Since you are selling affiliate products, you have a wide
range of choices for products as well as for topics.

If you aren't sure what you want to sell, there are plenty
of resources to help you find topics and products to write
about. Here are three:

1. Lycos Top 50 - The Lycos Top 50 will tell you what is
getting the most buzz each week.
2. eBay Pulse - Offers a list of the hottest selling
products on eBay.
3. Yahoo Buzz - The latest news by category.

If you already know what topics you are interested in, you
can go to your favorite search engine and research those
topics.

To help you find out what others are searching for, you can
use tools like:

Google Adwords Keyword Research Tool

SEOBook Keyword Research Tool

Compile a list of keyword phrases. Using these keyword
phrases to write your articles will help you rank well in
the search engines.

Checklist

1. Choose at least one product to market.
2. Choose at least one topic to write about.
3. Create a list of keywords to use in your article
writing campaign.

Our next lesson is about creating your title. The title is
one of the most important elements of your article because
it tells the reader within seconds whether or not they
should read your article.
