Why “writing quality content” for money is a load of Tosh
How many times have you read a really nice blog about writing and making money online? You enjoy the experience so much that you thought it was such a blast. After a few moments, you start to think you need to do what the blogging expert said in his blog. He said, you need to write quality content in order for people to come to your blog. He said that writing quality content will help you make money. You totally agree with the idea but you are left with the question, what is quality content? You begin to feel lost. What seemed obvious is now a little confusing.
Why writing quality content is a load of tosh
Quality is so subjective when it comes to writing. If you want to make money writing online for sites like Infobarrel, you know writing short stories and poems will not get you very far. You might even get banned from the site. Does it mean that you were not writing quality contents? That is not the case; it just means that money and writing quality content don’t always mix. If you need to understand the situation better, you would have noticed that articles that make the most money are those that are written like a product review or a product endorsement. If an Advertisement appears next to those articles, there is a greater chance that the reader will click on the Ads, hence, K-ching for the writer. Is that quality writing? That is debatable but it is the type of writing that earns money. If someone is searching for a product and you wrote an article about it, the person is most likely to click on the related Ads beside your article.
What is writing quality content on the internet?
That really boils down to knowing how the internet works. Ignorance is a sin so you need to be ready to learn. If you are too lazy to learn, you will be going onto the list of worst sinners. Back to the subject, what is writing quality content? Writing quality content is writing in such a way that your articles will feel the needs of someone who will click on your Ads. You need to reread that last sentence and meditate on it. If you want to write about your dog and cat, don’t tell people that you dog is cute and can do tricks. The fact is nobody cares. Tell them what they want to know.
How to teach your dog to do tricks. How to make your dog eat less (frugal living for dogs and cat). How to make your dog bark less.
If you look at these examples, you will begin to see what quality writing is and how you can write to make money. Writing on the Internet for money is not the most important thing. Writing quality content on the internet for money is the only thing.
