Creative Article Writing Career Where to Begin!

Hello there! My name is Jacob Wells and I am a Creative Article writer. In times of our new-found winterized economic climate here in, ‘The United States of America’, now more than ever we need to be creative in order to thrive and earn a living.

Here in this blog I will discuss technique’s and good writing systems that will make you money. There are going to be resources here that I have utilized completely and ones that I have only researched. I will always point out the ones I have not had personal experience with.

For those of you who have little interest in reading long winded advice on writing but would love to take advantage of my very long winded research I will provide one of the links here for your convenience. This one is in my opinion the very best resource for any aspiring writer to SERIOUSLY jump-start your online writing career.

First and foremost as a writer you must demonstrate integrity at all times. Your main goal is to have people read your work. Think of the readers first & last and you will gain readership. Offer good, sound advice and you will maintain that readership and hence begin to build a following.

This article will discuss techniques on how To be a “Creative Article Writer” in order to make money online. There are a million article writers online right now and to get ahead of the competition you will need an edge. You will need to provide Both QUANTITY and QUALITY, I guess a large quantity of quality articles Don’t just be an article writer, be a Creative Article Writer!

The first thing to work on is your title. If you can come up with a creative title you are golden. Creative titles can mean the difference in whether or not anyone will click on your article in the first place.

So keep this in mind. Study other articles that have done well and note the types of headlines that they use in order to capture the attention of readers.

What caught your attention? Odds are if something caught your attention it will work for you as a creative article writer.

It doesn’t stop there however. If you have a bunch of articles with catchy headlines and no real relevance then people will remember and not come back to read anymore of your article regardless of how ‘catchy’ your headlines are. Follow through and develop readership. How do you do that you might ask?

Relevance and passion. Keep your articles relevant to your headlines. Also write about things you know and love that way you can be passionate about your topic and this will shine through in your article. People can see right through the words; if the writer isn’t necessarily interested in the article, then the reader will not be either.

A good Creative Article Writer also uses creative research methods and doesn’t skimp on this part of the work. The more you know the more you can write. The more you can write the better you can ‘Keep them guessing’ at what your next sentence contains. It is no fun to read predictable text, worse predictable text is boring. So another good creative tactic is to keep them guessing. When someone is reading your work they should be thinking “Wow this person really knows their stuff, then they will want to know more of what you have to say.

Please remember that the more you put into something the more you will get out of it. RESEARCH is important to any industry you are involved in. It will help with the quality of your work.

If you are writing primarily as a focus for making a living, then you will need some proper tools and guidelines from others who have been successful at it themselves.

One of the most important things I have ever learned in my entire life was that if you hang around unsuccessful people, you will get unsuccessful results. Likewise, if you are of a mind to become successful, surround yourself with people who have success, study their methods and do what they do. Then you will eventually become successful too.

One important thing needs mentioning here. DO NOT COPY THEM EXACTLY You have a much better chance at it if you take it and make it your own. Do not just copy exactly what they do, that isn’t ethical or very rewarding.

Yet, if you can add to what you have learned from them, then you will be a success from your own merits. One way I try to do this, is see if I can improve on anything I learn. It is a fine line but to be original is what will make you a success. Remember, we are trying to be a “CREATIVE ARTICLE WRITER”

There are lots of ways to make money online but if you have limited income to begin with you will be outranked by those who have the expensive tools to help them succeed. You will need some tools of your own but the best tool is you. DO YOUR RESEARCH before you go buy yourself something that will end up being counter-productive in the long run.

Writing online is a great way to make money, but you must be prepared to do a lot of work and a heck of a lot of writing in order to become successful. So, don’t just think of yourself as an article writer utilize these tools and become a Creative Article Writer.

That was as quick as I could make it thanks to any who stayed with me. One last thing; It should be fun, so have fun writing and god bless you!
