Need advice about best selling topics and research

Post by Aaronsmith47 »

Hi everyone, my name is Aaron, and this is my first post here. One of my friends told me about this site and i thought i'd give it a shot since associated content really isn't for me. Just wanted to ask authors about the best selling topics and sites where they get quality information. I know my writing skills are not as good as some of the authors here, but i am willing to put in efforts.

All i need is a little help to get the ball rolling. All criticisms and suggestions will be positively accepted. Thanks guys.

Welcome Aaron. Go here to see recent sales and values http://www.constant-content.com/account ... ontent.htm The list keeps changing as more articles sell. You can try writing for public requests as well if you are short of ideas. Best of luck

Welcome Aaron,

The best way to understand the types of articles that sell here is to keep an eye on the Recently Sold Content page. The link to this page is on the left menu bar of the main screen. The recently sold content updates automatically when an article sells. Also on that page is a link to Search Topics. This will give you an idea of what topics people are searching for. Good luck!

When I first started, and what got me hooked, was writing about whatever it was I was doing at the time. For example, if an appliance broke down at my house, I'd write about "How to Find a Good Appliance Repairman." If I threw a little party for my toddler, I'd write about "Easy Party Games for Toddlers." Because I was doing much of the research anyway and living through whatever the experience happened to be, writing was easy :)

Look for the thread February 2010 Research Rules Challenge here in the forum and you'll see several good online research places and tips. Good luck and welcome!
