If you are a moderately talented writer, being a ghostwriter is easy internet money. A ghostwriter is a writer who gets paid to text for another person. Ghostwriting comes in many forms; articles, blogs, books, research and term papers, and speeches.
Depending on the client and the skill of the ghostwriter, the writer could have varying levels of involvement. In many cases, the client will write the basis of the text, and the ghostwriter will clean up or edit the original draft. The client will then make their edit and return the text to the ghostwriter for a final proof edit.
Ghostwriters are often used as research assistants. For a given project, the research assistant will perform the majority of research, document sources, develop an outline, and write a portion of the body of work. The client will then proof and edit the entire body of work to use his or hers own words.
Many ghostwriters begin by writing articles, blogs, or even entire websites for private clients or public companies. This can be as simple as a one page article, or as intricate as research a niche topic, developing a website structure, and writing pages that flow together to form a well developed website. Here are some examples of sites that I have ghostwritten:
As you can see, if you have interest in research and/or writing, you can make some easy internet money being a ghostwriter.

Keyword selection for bloggers
If you are blogging to earn money using adsense, then you know how tough it can be to start making money in the beginning. After submitting your site to Bing, Google, and Yahoo you would think people would be able to find your site easy. Think again! You are competing against all of the other bloggers on the internet trying to do the same thing.
Sure there are tools to help optimize your site. And there are ways to use social networking and free traffic sites to bring in traffic. But how does one go about bringing in the targeted traffic that gets people clicking on your adsense ads? The answer is keyword research.
Keyword research with Google AdWords keyword tool
So let’s say you write a dating blog. It is safe to assume that there are may aspects to dating. But which ones should you put more time or emphasis on? First start by navigating to the Google AdWords keyword tool. Once there, type in dating, enter the verification code, and then click “get keyword ideas”.
The next page shows a list of keywords that are related to dating. As you can see, there are a lot of keyword combination’s for dating. There are two columns of relevance to compare. The first is Global Monthly Search Volume and the second is Advertiser Competition. As a niche market writer, you want the most amount of global search exposure and the most amount of advertiser competition.
Simply put, the more amount of Global searches, the better chance of someone finding your article for that key word. As far as advertiser competition, the more competition, the better price per click you will get paid. When choosing your blog theme and key words, using this technique will increase your odds of being profitable.
Site structure based on keywords
One last point about keyword research. It is important to know which keywords are valuable in writing articles. But it is also important to use these targetable key words in your site structure. Many popular blog platforms allow for canonical addressing. This means instead of your post address looking like ez-internet-money.com/p?123.php it looks like http://ez-internet-money.com/advertising-programs/make-easy-internet-money-with-adsense/. As you can see, the category is advertising programs and the title of the post is Make Easy Internet Money With Adsense. By adding simple canonical site structure, your site will perform much better for your targeted key words.
