			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SEO article writing is extremely vital to the overall success of online business.  By combining search engine optimization and article writing, one is able to target the primary search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN.   Focusing on the keywords ensures that the search engines will be informed of when the content is updated, as well as what that content is about and this what makes this medium so effective.</p>
<p>Article Writing for Business</p>
<p>Sure, there are plenty of SEO article writing services that claim to take your business website to the number one ranking in little time, but the truth is that they’re either lying or using questionable techniques to achieve this outcome.  SEO and SEM (search engine marketing) are very important aspects of traditional e-commerce applications.</p>
<p>Remember that it’s more than just generating random traffic for your business – you are using optimized content to send targeted prospects to your service or product.  More and more fortune 500 companies are using the services of SEO article writers to promote and spread word about their business.  This also seems to be a popular solution for small businesses because it is extremely low-cost and provides a great medium for home-based entrepreneurs to begin making money online.</p>
<p>Article Writing and Keywords</p>
<p>In a nutshell, keywords, also known as search terms, are what individuals use to gather information on a particular topic on the internet.  This creates an appeal towards the purchasing habits of your target audience via different keyword optimization techniques.  If your article holds rank for the keywords and phrases you are optimizing for, then you will be in prime position to receive free, organic traffic from the search engines.</p>
<p>Though there are companies who use more questionable SEO article writing tactics, such as integrating hidden keywords/phrases on a website, sticking to the proven practices will ensure longevity and stable relations with the search engines.</p>
<p>There are various ways of promoting the website and doing it through SEO article writing is an important one.  This is why we take great care to ensure our SEO article writing is infused with facts and how to information that educates customers.  SEO article writing is about more than just writing; sometimes it is about making your old stuff better than it was.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s no secret that the current state of the economy is forcing many people out of jobs, but how does this affect those of us who make our living writing?  Well, in all honesty, most freelance writers have been able to sustain a steady source of income thanks to the Internet and it&#8217;s ever-increasing need for quality content.</p>
<p>Even if you&#8217;re not an experienced writer, there are many opportunties available for educated homemakers and college students to make money online by providing various writing services.  If soliciting your writing skills is something that you&#8217;ve been considering it&#8217;s important for you to realize that even though there is plenty of work, getting your foot in the door and producing a salary requires lots of research, hard work and determination.</p>
<p>One of the most vital pieces of advice I give to newbie content providers is to make sure you expand your horizons and spread yourself out across a healthy playing field &#8211; preventing yourself from getting pigeon-holed and relying on a single medium of writing to produce your monthly income.</p>
<p>Here are a few ways you can expand your writing horizons to increase visibility and earnings:</p>
<ul>
<li>Provide a monthly blog posting service on a recurring subscription basis.  For example, you will write and publish 5 blog posts per month for $57.  Set up your client via Paypal&#8217;s monthly subscription option and enjoy the benefits of a steady monthly payment for a modest amount of work.  Acquire 20-30 of these clients and you&#8217;ve got yourself a fruitful business model that can be outsourced and expanded.</li>
<li>Provide a customer service/email answering package for your clients.  Have them outsource various support related tasks to you for an adequate monthly fee.  You can charge them by the hour or for a flat rate per month &#8211; which includes x-amount of hours.  Anything over the allotted time banked would be extra.</li>
<li>Provide a content editing service for web publishers who speak English as a second language.  This may be tricky regarding your regular communications with potential clients, but once the ball is rolling you will have yourself a nice monthly source of income for a few hours of work per day &#8211; depending on how much work you decide to take on.  This could also be an add-on service available to your blog post clients.</li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see, there are many ways for individuals to make money writing online &#8211; regardless of the economy.  The Internet never slows down, it never shrinks and it will never go away.  As long as there are websites, there will be a need for talented writers who can churn out quality content.</p>
