eCourse secrets...

In today’s society, the internet is no longer just used for
shopping or entertainment; it is also used for learning. Over
the past few years, online eCourses have rapidly increased in
popularity. What does this mean for you? This means that if are
an article writer, you can easily build off of this popularity.
You can do this by making eCourses with your articles.

Before examining how you can go about making eCourses with
articles, it is best to quickly familiarize yourself with
eCourses, namely what they are. Just as they sound, eCourses
are courses that are offered online. These courses, which are
often hosted over the internet, enable internet users to get an
education or familiarize themselves with something new, often
right from the comfort of their own homes. Although eCourses
have similar goals, to educate internet users, those goals are
accomplished in different ways. There are some individuals who
are considered experts in their field, such as the field from
working from home. Many experts create eCourses and distribute
them online for other internet users to benefit from. eCourses
are also offered by many colleges and universities as a way to
get an education from home.

Now that you know exactly what eCourses are, you can better
understand how you make an eCourse. If you have never taken or
viewed and eCourse before, you may not realize that they are
just collections of information, just like articles. In fact,
that is why making your own eCourse may be a lot easier that you
had originally anticipated. The way that you can create your
own eCourse can vary, but many article writers just take a
collection of articles and combine them together. Of course,
will want to combine them in a way in which they are easy to
read, helpful, and connected. For instance, if you are
interested in making an eCourse that focuses on working from
home, you will first want to explain what working from home is
before outlining various work at home opportunities, and so
forth.

Once you have successfully created an eCourse, your next step
will all depend on your goals. For instance, is your goal to
make money with your eCourse or is your goal to generate traffic
for your website? If your goal is to generate traffic for your
website, you may want to think about offering your eCourse
materials free of charge. Many webmaster paste their eCourse
materials on their website, for easy viewing, but others use it
as email content. If you use your eCourse material as email
content, you are essentially creating and distributing a
newsletter. Newsletters are another one of the many highly
rated and recommend internet marketing tactics that webmasters
use.

If you are not a webmaster, just a professional article writer,
you may be interested in using your eCourse to generate sales.
If so, there are a couple of different approaches that you can
take. For the fastest results, you may want to consider selling
your eCourse to an individual or company who can effectively
promote it. This will, in turn, generate income for both
parties involved. If do have the time to market and promote
your own eCourse, you may want to examine selling it on your
own. As it was previously mentioned, a large number of
webmasters offer similar eCourses free of charge. Despite this
free competition, you may still be able to make a substantial
profit from selling your eCourse material, even if you make it
available for a low price.

Whichever way you decide to use your material, you are still
advised to make an eCourse with your articles. After all, what
else would you do with your articles? Making an eCourse is a
great way to put your old, unused articles to good use.

P.S. When transforming your articles into an eCourse, you can
distribute your articles if you want for free or you can sell
them and make yourself a little bit of extra cash.

Post Regularly Because...

Keeping people interested in your blog, whether it is a business
or personal blog, is key to attracting a lot of regular
visitors. Many blogs have died because people have just lost
interest. The main reason for the lack of interest is simply a
lack of posts by the blogger. Regular, frequent posting, which
will boost your blog’s ranking in search engines, is essential
to the survival of any blog.



You might be asking yourself, what is frequent posting? How many
blog entries should I make on a given week? How do I make
frequent consistently good posts? What are the reasons for me to
post frequently? In this newsletter, we will go over all of the
above.

What is frequent posting?

Frequent blog posting is posting enough to keep your readers
interested. Obviously, people will not want to come back to a
blog that hasn’t been updated in months. They want to see
consistent posting so that they know coming back to check the
blog next week to see if there are more posts won’t be a waste
of time.



How many blog entries should I make each week?

This is one of the tougher questions to answer. It really
depends on the purpose of your blog. If it’s a personal blog, a
weekly or twice weekly update is an excellent idea. A
political/sports/music/religion blog should have 3-4 posts per
week. Business blogs should have at least 2 posts, but
preferably 4 each week.

The thing to remember is that quality counts. Posting frequently
just for the sake of posting frequently tends to result in
subpar posts which people won’t care about. It is important to
find a balance—frequent, quality posts that won’t result in
burnout on your part. Why create 4 poor quality posts each week
when you could post 2 quality posts per week?



How do I create quality postings on a consistent basis?

It’s all about following a consistent pattern of writing. Maybe
you’re not a natural writer and this is difficult. That’s why
we’ll give you an outline to help you.

1. Pick a topic that is interesting to you and to your readers.
Maybe if your blog is a personal blog, you could write about the
latest happenings in Hollywood.
2. Carefully think about what you’ll write about the topic. It
makes it easy to make quality blog postings if you know exactly
what you’ll write. Plot out everything about the post before
even beginning to write it.



3. Before writing your content, pick out some keywords that are
relevant to your blog. If you naturally use keywords throughout
your post, you will please search engine spiders which will get
your blog ranked higher on search engines. Your visitors won’t
mind the use of keywords if they are used in a tasteful way.
4. Begin writing your post. Don’t limit yourself to a particular
amount of words. Just do what’s natural. And if any blog post is
hard for you, just take a timeout and relax. You should be able
to finish the post a bit later on, after you’ve had some time to
think things through, you should be able to finish the post with
no problems.

Why is frequent posting important?

Blogs are meant to be outlets for individuals or businesses.
They are used to get an opinion out on something and to engage
readers. Readers need to have something that makes them want to
keep coming back to a blog. That something is usually quality,
frequent posts.



Gaining and maintaining visitors isn’t the only reason to post
often in your blog. Catching the eye of a search engine—and
achieving a high ranking—is another valid reason for posting
frequently. Most likely, each posting in your blog features some
keywords or keyword phrases scattered throughout it. Logic says
that the more natural keywords you have on a blog, the better.
Thus, the more posts you make on your blog, the more keywords
you have on there. And the more keywords you have, the more
likely a search engine bot is to crawl your site. The more your
site is crawled by bots, the more likely it is that you will
have a high ranking on a search engine.

P.S. Frequent blog posting can be easy as long as the person who
is posting takes the time to plot out what they’ll write about.
So take a few minutes to think about your post and then just do
it!
