Profitable Topics To Write About

Choosing the right topics and the right products to review is probably the most important factor that will determine how successful you are. 

Sometimes it can be a difficult balance - finding subjects that people are searching for and want to read about, but that do not already have so many websites and pages about them that you won't be able to compete. 

Obviously you want to write about what you know about or can research effectively, but that should still leave you some scope to choose topics that are more likely to be profitable. This is no science, and there is no sure fire method for finding the best topics and products. 

But there are some simple step that you can follow which will substantially increase your chances of success.
  • If you want to make money you need to get readers clicking through to your work from the search engines. That means that you need to match the topics that you are writing about with the things that people are searching for. Before you write a review you should identify at least one 'keyword', if not 2, 3 or more, which are the search terms which you hope will lead people to your work from google and the other search engines
  • Research is very important. Search for 'google keyword tool' to find one of the most popular free online tools that can be used to find out how many people are searching for a keyword and what advertisers are paying for clicks on that topic (and therefore how much you will earn from each click you get from an advert on one of your pages).
  • People only search for reviews of products that they have already heard of (obviously). That severely limits the number of products you can review and get search engine traffic for from people specifically searching for reviews of that product. You can get round this by targeting phrases like 'the best...', 'cheap....reviews', 'fun....' and so on and on and on - just use your imagination!
  • Adverts of all kinds, on TV, online, billboards or anywhere else are a great source of inspiration for topics and specific products that you can review and which you know advertisers are willing to pay for.
  • If you can be one of the first to review a new product then you have a majhor advantage. Firstly you have less competition as there won't be many other reviews already published online, and secondly there will probably be a lot of people looking for reviews of that product.
But as for me, at first I just write what I like and I know. It's confused me and stop my ideas to write if I follow those rules above. After you have some experiences and compare and know what topics you engaged and want to broaden your knowledge, so I go through my beyond.

How To Write Profitable Reviews

Some reviews published at Revud.info get lots of readers, and are therefore very profitable for their authors, here is good for you as writers. In the other hand, other get very few or even no readers and so make no money at all. 

When you first start writing online it can be frustrated to see your work, that you have put time and effort into writing, languishing at the bottom of the pile and ends with no readers. 

Here are a few simple steps that you can follow which will help you to write successful reviews and make good money. That is what this page is all about.

The two main things that you can do to succeed here are:

1. Write more than the minimum word count. Revud.info allows  short posts because they let you share links to reviews on other sites as well a publishing full reviews. But these short bookmarks are much less likely to make you money than longer articles. You should be aiming for 300 words plus.

2. Publish unique content that hasn't been published anywhere. Unique content gets into the google search results, duplicate content doesn't. It's as simple as that.

3. Have good topics to write. I will tell about this in  upcoming posts.

Make money from ReVud.info

The process of writing reviews for money is not so complicated. There is a whole list of things you can test, give evaluational assessment and write about. 

If you are just starting up in paid to write, it would be better to use websites, which reward users for free-topic reviews and writing. These are usually websites giving you cash based on Google Adsense revenue sharing and this is a pure example of one of free ways to make money online.

ReVud.info is one of such sites a to make money by writing reviews and how to guides. ReVud.info is a free information source, which allows you to share your thoughts and knowledge based on your experiences. You don’t need any journalist experience to get paid to write articles online.
 
Revud is a community review site where you can read, comment and vote on reviews of a wide range of products and services; or you can also write your own reviews or submit links to reviews on other sites to make money from their google revenue share scheme (add your publisher id from your profile page) or through adding affiliate links to your submissions. 

All you need to have is a google adsense account. From your profile click the modify button, and then type or paste your adsense publisher ID into the space provided. Once you have done this then your adverts will appear on your pages. That means that for every 10 people who read your reviews, 9 will be shown adverts with your publisher ID and 1 will be shown an add with ours. Google will credit your account every time someone clicks on one of these adverts.
 
If you write one or two reviews and do nothing to promote them then you may make a few cents if you are lucky, but you will probably make nothing. But if you regularly add new content and promote your work then you can make hundreds or even thousands of dollars per month.
 
They have some topics for you to write :
1. Food and Drink
2. Personal Electronics
3. Health and Exercise
4. Fashion
5. Home and Garden
6. Work and Business
7. Entertainment
8. Travel
9. Other

The similarity of Blogging and Farming

Many people would like to earn money online for additional income or perhaps as the main income. But then they are frustrated because it so slows. Yes. There is no quick rich scheme in the world, even in this blogging. 

Just think like a farmer. They plow the soil first, and then put fertilizer and plant some seeds. And let it grow until it harvest.  Blogging is just similar like that. What you need is your creativity and your time to write something.

The farmer gets or buys a field, the blogger creates a blog. The farmer plows and fertilizes the soil, the blogger writes some good posts. The farmer looks for the market for the upcoming harvest,  the blogger registrants  his or her blog in some paid to review websites. Once the blogger gets order from the website, that's your harvest time :)   

And it does not take times too long to harvest. It can be a week, or a month, you just need write 20 -30 posts in your blog to  be accepted by those paid to review websites.

 

The Quick Way to Make Money from Blog

Perhaps you have written some posts in your blog. You have registered your blog in some 'paid to review' websites. There is a possibility that you are disappointed, that the payment is just small amount and it;s not enough for daily life. That's true. You are new comer. But imagine if you are well known in blogging  world, you will be busy just to write review and you can do it all from home. 

The quickest way to make money online from blog for the newcomer is to sell something in your blog. You can sell things like bags, accessories, or even your service. 

Like this, I am teacher of German, and I write about some German grammars with the explanation and some examples. Well, you can imagine, many people call me and ask me whether I could  teach them German individually. And my answer is of course, yes, because teaching is my job. 

I don't need advertising to promote myself again. And people trust me, because they can see what I've done through what I shared in my blog www.les-bahasa-jerman,blogspot.com. 

In my blog under my own name, I sell bags and earrings from India. I bought them when I traveled in India last year. I put some pictures when I was in Taj Mahal and some places in India I visited. They bought them happily, because the readers know, the things are real India. 

So, just think, what kind of things or service you can sell in your blog. Please remember the theme of your blog. The things you sell or the service you provide should be related with the theme. Otherwise, people will confuse with your blog. Fortunately, you can have blogs as many as possible. So, let's start blogging :)

Paid to Writing Review

Many people have created blogs. Blog is firstly to write down the feelings, the stories people have and no chance to be published in the usual media. Well, media has their own limitation.
And nowadays the function of blogs change a bit. Many creative people see the possibility to make money from blogging. As I mentioned before, we can write some review about some products because we have ever used them. Perhaps we like it or perhaps we don't like it. And we can write about them and make money from our writings.

This activity is called "paid to writing review", "paid review" etc. Many website provide this service like :
This is the sponsor review website I use for the first time. until present. The payment is good and fast. To have order, they will offer us a job and we accept or decline it. Meanwhile, we can bid some jobs in their own website.
This website pays my article higher than Sponsor Review, but I got so seldom order from them. Because we just wait until they give us an order. 

And there are many other websites, you can search in the internet. Just click "paid for writing" in the google, and in a couple seconds you will find them.

Good luck!!

Decide the theme of your Blog

You have already created a blog, and now what you should do? Write your posts. But firstly, you have to decide what theme is your blog. Like I said before, you can start with everything close to your life. It is ok, to talk about what education, about food you like, about books you have read or whatever.
Theme is very important. It is similar like a store. If we need a dictionary, we go to the bookstore. If we need vegetables, we go to the grocery, right?

As for me, I studied German and teach German. So I write down about German grammar. I started this blog since 2009, and now the visitors are more than 36.000 clicks. Creating blogger in blogspot is free and PR (Page Rank) is zero, but now my blog about German lessons www.les-bahasa-jerman.blogspot.com gets PR 1. I am so happy with that.

I know, people would like to know me, and I like to share people what I have done in my life. So I have other blog under my own name. Actually, this is the first I have :). Some people visit my blog because of the curious to know me, or they found something interesting in my blog. 

So decide your theme is very important step. Especially, if you want to make money from blog. Because once your blog ready, you will register your blog under one theme or some related themes.

Create blog to share your ideas

Now you have already ideas, what you will write. But where you will write down your ideas, and more important thing, how people know about your ideas? And how you will get money from your ideas?

Blog is one of the answers. But, what is blog?

A blog (a blend of the term web log) is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.


Which blog you can use? There are some, such as blogger like I use now. Or wordpress, but I prefer blogger, because it is easier for me. Wordpress is good, too. Just blogger is easier for me. 

Okay, just check the website of those blogs and then create blog(s). I will tell you other side to earn money from you blogs. Good luck.

Where to start

If you want to make money online, and you feel you don't have any special knowledge or you don't know where to start, it's better to learn something new or improve your knowledge that you have already.

You can start from in which field you are interested or mastered. Like me. I am a teacher from a reputable university. So I go for teaching after graduation. However I don't like to go to school. I would like to teach a big crowd. So the best place is to teach or to write something online, in internet!!

You can start from something simple, like how to cook delicious food from simple ingredients. Or how to manage money in household. Or write a review some products you use in the office, at home, or in traveling. You can write also about article, books or brochure you have ever read. Try the simplest things and from the closest with your life. And then go professional :) 





Why I want to Work at Home

It;s my dream since teenager to work at home. My family is a traditional family such as, father is one who is responsible for family. He works and the salary is for family. But on the other hand, my grandpa was a bit modern for his era. He allowed the daughters to go to school and gave them some life skills like sewing, cooking and baking. So in the future, my aunties can earn money, even they are just at home. And now, they are old and their kids already grown up and earn money for themselves and even give some amounts to the parents (my uncles and aunties), they still can earn money or share their skills for community. People trust them to do something.

In short, I would like to be like them. Well, now is the technology era. And I have no special skills like cooking, baking or sewing. I can cook, bake and sew, but I have no professional skills like them. So I choose to earn money from blogging and uploading something into internet. 

In other upcoming posts, I will post about the possibility to make money online and offline.
