How can I write articles if I don't know about the subject?

Hi Cindy,
Your article needs to be written around a keyword (keywords) relative to the product you are promoting.
Let's say you are an affiliate for Tiffany Lamps and you want to write articles to promote your landing page which will link to the Tiffany Lamp site.

The first thing I would do is go to https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal and type in Tiffany Lamps. A list of the keywords thaqt have been typed into Google Search will come up and you can choose from the list which keywords you want to promote. Choose 2 that are closely related and use these for your article. e.g. Say you choose "Tiffany lamps" and Tiffany Floor Lamps".

Now go to google.com, type in "Tiffany Lamps" and click on some of the websites that come up. Some sites may not have much useful info, but others will. You must be aware that you cannot copy verbatum the info you have read, but you can rewrite the info in your own words. Your first article will probably take a few hours to write, but as you keep writing articles they get easier and faster to do.

Also go to EzineArticles.com and register. Go to their search box and type in something like How To Write Articles. Lots of results will come up for you to read and you will learn a lot from them.
Hope this helps you get started.

Okay, here's the honest answer nobody wants to give you.

If you know nothing about a subject, you CAN'T write about it.

How can you? Think about it. What would you write? It's like me trying to
write about landscaping.

Crap, I don't even know what the word means, not really.

Okay, so what do you do?

If you want to write about the subject, you have to go LEARN about the
subject. And I'm not talking about reading a few articles. I'm talking about
actually LEARNING about the subject.

How?

Pick up a good book on it.
Go to the library and do some research.
Ask some experts in the field and write down what they tell you.
Go to authority sites on the subject and learn what you can from them.

At the end of all this...know how to actually SPEAK to somebody on the
subject INTELLIGENTLY.

THEN, you can write about it.

We have WAY TOO MANY schlock authors on the Internet who don't know
crap about what they're writing about and it needs to stop.

Every subject I write about, I know about. Some from personal experience
and some from doing a lot of research and study.

That's why I'm successful.

Take this post for what it's worth to you.

Hi Cindy

My first thought is - why do you want to start marketing in a subject you know nothing about?

Wouldn't it be better to start with something that either you know something about or are interested in.

What I would do is to start by writing down a list of topics you know something about and then a separate list of topics you are interested in.

Now, not knowing anything about you these suggestions may not apply but.... if you have a child/children then that's something you know about. Added to that you may also know about what to do when your child gets ill, potty training, temper tantrums etc.

You may know about a particular sport; tennis, golf etc or a hobby; postcard collecting, cross stitch, etc. Or a skill - DIY, car maintenance etc.

Once you have done this you can take the next step. Make a list of all the things you can do and a list of the things you need help with.

Then make a plan.

You need to have some foundations to build on before getting to the point of article marketing.

There's lots of help in the forum from fellow warriors and on a vast amunt of topics - do a search on the forum for article marketing, making a plan etc.

Good luck!
