JadeDragon Shares Tips for Creating an Article About a Product

JadeDragon's Innovative Passive Income blog introduced me to the potential payoff possible through writing on the internet. He also writes on InfoBarrel and recently published an excellent article, How I Created a Product Based Article, I thought I'd share with all of you.

This detailed primer includes step-by-step instructions on the process JadeDragon uses to write a successful product article.  It includes specific examples from an actual article he wrote about rice bran oil. I found it very helpful to read his guide and then analyze how he applied each step in the process to create his finished article.

Jade Dragon's product article about rice bran oil proves it pays to explore products that pique your curiosity. You never know where or when you might discover a great idea for an article or learn about a cool product people could be interested in buying. Your everyday experiences offer numerous opportunities each day to find out about products you might want to write about. 

While a few of the tips are specific to InfoBarrel, overall it serves as a helpful guide to use when writing an article about a product for any site. If you've thought about trying your hand at earning money by writing on the internet, take a look at InfoBarrel. You can even sign up for a free account and start putting JadeDragon's tips into action. I'd love to hear how his tips work for you.

Blogger Virgin No More - My First Ever Blog Post

I have to give credit to David Peach  a wonderful InfoBarrel writer, for finally inspiring me to jump into the world of social media with both feet. (Although he doesn't realize it yet.) I visited his website for the first time today and found he had a lot to say, about everything. No focused, keyword stuffed niche site stuff on his blog.

Yesterday I decided it was time to stop being a wimp about social media. I'd had my Twitter account for a few months and never tweeted once. (Well I still haven't tweeted, but I did fill out my profile.) I also followed some of fellow InfoBarrel writers, one of whom was DPeach. In the process of trying to figure out Twitter, I found DPeach's link to his website and clicked on it.

After spending months searching for just the right graphics and striving for perfection with my first blog, I just decided to go for it. Like David, I also have too many interests to count. It's the main reason I love writing - I can explore and learn about anything that strikes my fancy. I can also share my knowledge with others and get positive comments. (Which I like much better than the feedback I got from book publishers as I tried to publish a few children's books awhile back.) In the past year I've cautiously tiptoed into the world of internet writing, and though the learning curve has been steep, I'm having a great time.

I only wish I had more time to write, but I'm working on a plan for that too. I hope to share my experiences as I wind my way through the wilds of the Internet jungle. I've already met some great people on my journey, and I look forward to more great experiences with this blog and all my writing endeavors.

I hope you'll join me for the ride.
