It’s been a while since my last post, but I’m happy to report that the first article I submitted earned a whopping $5.15. This is well above the $3.50 average that I anticipated, but we’ll just have to see how it plays out in the end. I may still hit that $3.50 average if I get a few lower priced articles in there. With proper keyword research and well written content, then you shouldn’t have too much trouble earning a little more upfront money.

My goal today will be to spend at least 3 hours working on this case study.  I expect at least 6 articles to come from that work, and possibly up to 9 total.  Assuming I can hit the target of 9 articles, and earn $3.50 per article, then the next 3 hours will end up earning me a nice sum of around $30.  No, it’s not much, but those articles will keep earning a little bit of money each month, depending on how well they perform.  Once we’re done writing our articles, then I’ll show you a few ways to attract more visitors to your articles.  We’ll try a few things and let them sit, and you should start seeing some decent earnings after a couple months.

Anyway, it’s time to stop procrastinating and start writing.  I’m going to quickly read over a few more articles at ezinearticles.com and then start writing.  If I get stuck, then I may just pick a few articles to rewrite, but I would prefer to have them all be completely original.  We’ll just have to see how it goes.

Update: I’ve been working for an hour and got 2 articles written and submitted.  I think it’s time for a small break, and then I’ll sit down and crank out some more articles.  It can be somewhat tiring, trying to just sit and write, but this exercise will get you better at writing articles around different topics, which is the absolute BEST way to try earning money online.  Once you’re good at this, then you can build websites all day long, and create all kinds of income.  Keep it up and you’ll be there.
