Such is their share of global search you simply cannot ignore their impact on your reader base. divbr /However, have you ever considered how Google can help improve your writing itself? If not, read on and I’ll give you some great new creative tips./divbr /divstrongQuick keyword ideas/strong/divdivstrong————————————/strong/divdivHere’s a quick first tip. When you’ve chosen your topic and have written your fist draft, you should spend a few minutes to ensure you have scattered all relevant keywords throughout your page. And where to get the key phrases to use? The search box on a href=”http://www.google.com/”http://www.google.com//a of course. /divdivbr /You’ve probably noticed the search suggestion drop down that appears as you type your search on the Google homepage. This is designed to predict the user input, and so by definition is offering a list of the most commonly entered terms that match your initial letters./divbr /divbr /It’s therefore a great way of borrowing your readers’ search terms. Let’s take an example – I’ll enter the phrase “writing blogs”. The drop down then offers me:/divdivbr /1. writing blogs for money/divbr /div2. writing blogs tips/divbr /div3. writing blogs online/divbr /div4. writing blogspot/divbr /div5. writing blogs for pay/divdivbr /These are listed in descending order of popularity, and so the higher up the list the more searches that term receives. So try to incorporate any phrases that are relevant for your article – remember to think of your reader though, so don’t just stuff words into your page for the sake of it./divdivbr /Have a go, and you’ll see how easy it is to play around with different words and phrases to get ideas for keywords. You can even use this process for getting new angles on topics about which you’ve already written./divdivbr //divdivstrong/strong/divdivstrongWrite about the moment/strong/divdivstrong————————————/strong/divdivIf you can’t even think of a theme for your page, you could try using Google Trends (a href=”http://www.google.com/trends”www.google.com/trends/a)./divdivbr /This is a page where Google show you the hot search terms and topics about which their users want to read. Writing about the day’s big issues is a great way to get readers, interest and comments. Think Twitter, but with more words./divbr /divAs I write this article, I can see the Kraft takeover of Cadbury is big in the business world, the Australian Open tennis has sports fans excited and searchers want more info about storms in California. You can drill down into more search terms, or enter some of your own ideas to see how popular they are./divdivbr /You’ll notice the variety of subject matter is very varied so there will generally be something that catches your eye./divdivbr /So the next time you’re sat in front of your screen feeling the onset of writers block, head over to Google and let them do the brainstorming for you./divdivbr /strongAuthor Bio:/strong/divdivAndy Walton is inviting you to use a href=”http://www.wikinut.com/”Wikinut/a, a new publishing platform that pays lifetime royalties for your writing on a massive range of topics.

.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”You will fail./span Everyone says it and every experienced entrepreneur knows it. You may fail at only one thing or at the whole deal at once, but there will always be an idea you thought is great which will turn out to be a big flop, wasting you money, time and brain cells. All you can do is learn not to do the same thing again or do it differently, and move on and try again.br /The above might sound quite pessimistic, but there are some people who just read this article and laughed at it, because they either already know how it is or are not afraid of the challenges and say “Bring it on!”. One thing is for sure: they are a minority.br /br /If you are not ready to commit to your business and sacrifice anything that needs to be sacrificed in order to succeed, perhaps it might be easier for you to get a managerial or commanding position at one of the many already established companies. The pay is stable (and definitely higher than what you would be making in the first months and years of your own startup) and you get most of the benefits of running a business without a lot of the risks. In the end it is up to you: who knows, maybe if you try starting a company you will get to like it in time or at the very least you’ll gain some experience, whether it fails or not.div class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31431603-2124895207541267638?l=moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
