Writing articles for online readers is different than writing for print publications. Online readers scan the content on the Internet quickly, stopping to fully read articles that are well structured and which stand out.

The Opening

The first thing that people often read of an article is its opening sentence. Work to grab the reader's attention by asking a question, using a declarative statement or by using an interesting fact or figure. The next 1-3 sentences should be used to expand on the article idea yet should still work to maintain the reader's interest level. The closing sentence of the article's opening paragraph should summarize and tell the reader what the rest of the article holds.

The Body

The body of the article should ideally contain paragraphs that are not longer than 3-6 lines. This size makes it easier for an online reader to scan. Paragraph subheadings should also be used to break up the article's paragraphs where they make sense.

For added article interest, use numbers and bullet points to expand upon ideas. While the bulk of the article should be traditional paragraph content, adding in these items to add visual interest should make the article easier to read.

Conclusion

It is not necessary to include a conclusion in the article. You can either add 2-4 lines to wrap up your thoughts or you can leave the reader hanging to move onto your well written resource box. If you are unsure, write a quick 1-2 sentences to wrap up your article or try a combination of both writing one and leaving one off in your content over time to see what works better.

Mark Abrahams is a full time internet marketer who has helped others to earn a living online.

There are many reasons that people decide to make money online. There are those who have lost their jobs, and need to find a way to earn some money, and be their own boss. There are stay at home moms who want to bring in some extra income to help out with household expenses. There are students who want some extra cash, and find it easy to earn money online.

Get Paid To (GPT) Programs are very popular with good reason. Theyre easy to get into, most of them are free to join so theres no financial risk, and there can be some good payouts.

There are three different ways to make money with GPTs. You can be the person who is taking the surveys and completing offers, you can be the middleman who is promoting the company and getting referrals, or you can even start your own Get Paid To site.

If youre the person who is taking the time to complete the surveys and offers, its very easy to get started. Most of the sites have great forums with very active members to help you out with suggestions, and in most cases the person who referred you will be more than happy to answer your questions and help you.

A lot of times the companies that youre completing the offers for will give you incentives to complete their offer, in addition to the cash you earn. You may receive free samples of their products, thirty day free trials, and gift cards with cash values. Ive received many Circuit City gift cards which Ive used countless times.

Its so easy to complete the offers, too. You can sit down and relax with a cup of coffee, log onto your Get Paid To site and choose your offers. Just be sure to be very organized, so that you can keep track of which offers youve completed.

Your earnings will first go into a pending state; after the company confirms that youve met their requirements, they will notify your GPT site and the earnings will move into an earned state. After youve earned the minimum required for payout, youll receive your cash!

So you can see that its very easy to get into the Get Paid To market, and start earning some decent cash online. There is no investment required for most sites, and personally Ive never paid to join a site in order to take a survey or complete an offer.

Be sure to read all the rules of whichever site you join, participate in the forums, and youll have found a great new way to make extra money, or even a full time income on line.
