When some folks are just getting started working on the Internet they get what is known as the Superman complex. While it is easy to get overwhelmed it is equally as easy to get the impression that you can do just about anything. One of the more common rookie mistakes is the belief that because anyone can have a website, anyone can write. For those who know better, here are some basic article writing tips for those who need a little guidance.
Keeping Things Orderly
The most important and most often overlooked part of the article writing process is the framework. This isn't anything that must be long or terribly involved; it merely exists so that the article itself will appear in a logical and orderly manner.
- Introduction: The introduction gives the reader a short synopsis of what the article will cover. It should be enticing and informative without giving everything away in the first paragraph
- Content: This is the meat of your article wherein most of the information is shared. Keep it on topic and without any unrelated info.
- Summary: Also known as the closer, this is where you summarize the article and briefly restate the main points covered in it.
Keeping your thoughts and information well organized is the most basic of article writing tips but it is something that is often overlooked. For that reason alone, implementing these tips will help your articles to stand out from the rest. Of course the content itself is just as important, but that part's in your hands. Best of luck!

How to Make Money Selling Your Articles
By Sean R Mize
Besides the extra time you will have to think up clever Internet marketing strategies, Article writing expands your writing opportunities. Content is very important on the Internet, and whether you are freelancing or writing for your own website, you can learn how to attract audiences and generate money from your writing much quicker.
Freelance Writing
If you are interested in freelance writing, there are numerous websites that allow you to bid on potential projects that others post. Two very good websites are Elance.com and Ifreelance.com. And, if you are writing in English, you will find that this is one job that is not easily outsourced. It takes a native speaker, native writer, to be able to generate content that the audience respects and admires.
What kind of money can you make as a freelance writer? It all depends on how fast and how good you are. If you learn how to write 800 words per half hour, or 1600 words per hour, and the pay is a medium $10 per 400 word article, you've just made $40/hour. That's pretty good pay for something you love to do! But, $10 per 400 words is not that great a pay, in actuality you can get anywhere from $25 to $50 per article in higher quality markets. Now, consider that you could end up making $100/hr if you became very fast and very good at the same time!
As you can see, by this example, you can make a good living freelance writing, but only if you increase your speed while not sacrificing the quality of your articles.
