Two Unique Approaches To Writing Blog Articles

by GuestBlogger on September 20, 2009

I recently was emailed about writing an article for Donald Trump’s new mlm business opportunity. They were willing to pay eight dollars for 100 words. That seems like a fairly short blog post but it did get me thinking.

All he was really looking for was someone to write a short review about his business opportunity and include a back link to it. Even the search engine optimization experts working for Donald Trump understand the importance of creating backlinks.

You can take a couple of different avenues when you write blog articles.

1. One thing you can do is write real high quality content articles and write them as long as they need to be to get your point across. For serious bloggers who have a large readership sometimes you will see blog posts that are several hundred or even thousands of words.

My personal opinion is that it is a little long, but if your goal is to have a high content blog you don’t want to limit yourself in how long your articles are. Usually these type of bloggers are not really interested in selling products on their blog.

What they have done is create thousands of pages of really helpful content that people enjoy reading. They do various forms of viral marketing to increase the number of readers coming to their blog.

They then turn around and make all of their money selling advertising to various sponsors. There are many examples of bloggers earning high six figure incomes doing nothing more than selling advertising as their only source of income.

2. If you are trying to get noticed by the search engines you want to take a slightly different approach to your blog writing and marketing a blog efforts. You can write short blog articles of 100 to 200 words and make them helpful.

You don’t have time to waste a lot of words so this really helps you focus on the theme of the article you are writing. You might only target one key point in any article and you get right down to business without a lot of fluff.

In this type of writing you are focusing on keyword phrases that can help you show up in the search engines. By writing more short blog articles you can increase the number of keyword phrases that you are targeting as the number of articles you write goes up.

With this style of a blog you are going to monetize it in any way you can. You might sell affiliate products in the text of the body itself. You might also add banners on every blog post down the sidebar as well.
