Are you new to writing articles to make money online? If so, maybe all the talk about using “keywords” has you confused. Read on to discover how to choose keywords which sell.

Firstly, let’s discuss why articles are so powerful. Basically it’s because articles are content, and lots of content attracts traffic to sites; this traffic results in sales.

If you become a competent article writer, your potential income is unlimited. Articles are the building blocks of Web sites and blogs, all which can become income streams for you.

Use the following steps to choose great keywords for your articles.

1. Use Your Brain: Keyword Tools Are Historical

Here’s a secret: the many keyword tools online are historical. This means that they can only tell you which keywords have been searched for in the past. They can’t tell you what people are searching for NOW. If you can find out, you can write articles for those keywords, which will have little or no competition.

Therefore, in addition to using keyword tools, use your brain and a little creativity to put your article writing into high gear.

2. What Do Your Product’s Buyers Want to Know?

Think about the products you’re selling. Who are the buyers? Why are they buying a product? What do they hope the product will do for them? Write down the answers to these questions — they’ll give you many ideas for profitable articles.

Use the product or service you’re writing about too, and write about a product from an insider’s point of view. People love reading reviews and tips about products, and these are another huge source of article ideas for you.

As you’re answering questions, increase your keyword collection. Many keywords you can use won’t be obvious until you start answering your own questions.

3. Check Forums for Keywords Being Used

Lastly, visit forums which discuss the products you’re writing about. Forums are a great source of keywords for your articles too.
