How to make money writing articles: Creating a authority site
I already wrote the basics on how to make money writing online and now I will go to the next step on how to make money writing article by creating an authority website. An authority website is a very large website with hundreds of informative content. Instead of attacking a niche with only a few articles, now you will try to create authority with your main domain name and in that way let your articles rank more easily.
An authority site is totally different than when you are making a niche website. A niche will attack a certain keyword and consists of a few articles but never more than 10 or 20. An authority site however consists of at least 100 articles and preferably even more. By creating mass quality content your website will be trusted in the eyes of Google and let you rank for more keywords. So how can you make your own authority website?
You start out by doing research to keyword selection. Read more at my article about how to get top listings on google how this basically works. You will need to find hundreds or maybe thousands of keywords with low competition. After you have found a lot of green keywords (keywords with no competition), it is time to divide them in groups and form an umbrella. It is best to select a certain large niche and make categories in advance. For instance: If your website will be about widgets than you can make categories like: red widgets, green widgets, blue widgets. You can place the articles in the correct category and your article will be something like ‘How to paint red widgets’. What I am trying to say is that your main websites needs to be an umbrella for all related articles. You do not want to have a website about loans and write about making money online. Try to select one niche and find related keywords to that niche.
There are different options in selecting your keywords. You could go for the keywords that will make the most money. This is a very popular method but when you have a new website it will be very hard to even rank for keywords with low competition. What you will need is keywords with no competition at all. Write about things that are searched for 150 times a month and have no competing websites. In this way you will attract some visitors and build up a little authority. Later on when you have created more authority you will be able to rank for keywords with more competition. Off course you will also need to create many back links for the authority. If you need help creating back links than read my article about How to get one way links.
This article was about how to make money writing articles with an authority site. Before you make your own authority website I suggest that you are familiar with finding green keywords and writing articles. First practice a little before you dive in to the deep.
