Without useful and original content you will never reap any economical rewards online with your Wisconsin site. You need to position yourself as an expert in your market and the only way to do that is to create a useful site that your visitors will love.

But content creation is also the hardest part many people experience when creating a site that will rank high in the search engines. Therefore it’s always a good idea to build your first top ranking site about something that you are passionate about. This way writing content will come more easy and natural.

For anyone trying to learn how to write for the web, there are a few resources that I would like to recommend before you begin:

Make Your Content Pre-Sell

Everything Ken Evoy writes rock and this is no exception to that rule. This book is very easy to read and it has the beginner in mind. If you are new online, this is the place to begin.

Creating Fat Affiliate Sites

Andy Williams have a very good tutorial on how to write content for your site in his book “Creating Fat Affiliate Sites”. He describes the differences and purpose of main pages and article pages and he also gives you a few simple pointers to keep in mind when you write. When using these pointers, your content will almost write itself. This is how I do it and I love it!

In his newsletter achieves you will also find an example on how using prompts will help you in your writing. When you create prompts that are relevant to your topic you’ll soon discover that writing isn’t as hard as you thought.

Reference and Research

Firefox Browser

When I think back, it’s kind of hard to understand how we managed online in the pre-Firefox days. With this powerful browser, endorsed by Google, the information you need is always at your fingertips.

SearchIt!

The greatest search application in the world, created by SBI!. It has so many uses that it’s kind of hard just to mention a few. When you use it, you will feel its power.

Outsource Your Article Writing

Many webmasters outsource all or part of their article writing. For many this might not be as easy as it sounds, but the benefits and economical return can be great.

In case you are looking for someone to write the articles for you, the places to start are eLance or Rent a Coder. These two sites are highly respected and used by many Wisconsin search engine specialists.

As I see it, the greatest advantages with outsourcing your content writing is that it saves you time, you get professionally written articles and it boosts your productivity.

Duplicate Content Checkers

Many webmasters outsource their content creation and have ghost writers doing the articles. These writers are often very good, but not everyone and especially not all the time. Therefore it’s always a good idea to check the articles you receive for duplicate content.

One way to check your articles for duplicate content is too highlight a snippet of text from an article, put it in quotes and run a Google search on it. If it’s a unique article the SERP’s shouldn’t bring up anything.

Other good ways to check your site and to make sure other sites don’t use your content without your permission includes using the following free services:

• Copyscape
• Article Checker

Personally I use Andy William’s wonderful piece of software Content Publisher almost every day and it has a great feature built in. When receiving a batch of new articles from your writers you can simply import the articles into the software and then press a button to check them for duplicate content.
