Passive Income Idea: Article Writing for Infobarrel and my first FEATURED ARTICLE!

Article Writing: Featured Article!!!

After almost 6 weeks of article writing at Infobarrel, I finally got a Featured Article.  A featured article is one that is selected by the editorial team at Infobarrel to be featured on the main pages.  The feature was done on the weekend and so far I've noticed somewhat better traffic.  I would estimate that I have had about 50 or so page views over the course of the last few days.

Here is my featured article:  The Shocking Truth about the Ontario Debt

Niche Site Build Update:

This is a pretty amazing feat and I'm pretty proud of myself.  The rate that I've been writing has slowed down considerably in the past couple weeks as I've been busy with work, life and my other projects.  I did mention that I will reveal some of the other projects that I'm working on, but they are taking a lot more time than I think it would for it to be come to a stage where I think it's ready to launch.  Perhaps I'm spreading myself to thinly by trying to set up 4 different niche sites all at once.

How I've started the niche sites (something I'm still very green with) is through the use of keyword research.  Keyword research is so important.  What I've come to use is something that's a tight and powerful tool to screen out the great keywords from the mediocre ones.

How I used a Keyword Research tool to drive Organic Search Traffic

What I use is an easy to use keyword research software called: Market Samurai.  You might have heard of it and I encourage any of you out there who are article writers, and who are those just starting out to make their own niche website for any passive income ideas to start with using this tool.  It costs money, a one time fee for about 150 bucks, but it's well worth it as I'm getting traffic to my sites even though I haven't done much promotion for them.

If you're interested, here is an affiliate link to the website for you to download a free trial copy.  Note, it is my affiliate link.  Market Samurai.

I promise I'll devote more time in my next post to talk more about my niche sites and how I've used Market Samurai to achieve my goals of making an online passive income stream.
