Thank you Jack.

Take some time to do some research on the topic and you should be able to get a good idea of what to write. That's free.

As Jack suggested, you can also just outsource the article writing. That is certainly easier...if you choose a competent writer.

Research, research, research.

The best use of Wiki is looking at the end of the article and finding the sources. You can sometimes follow those to accurate information.

Offline magazines and the library are also good resources that are often overlooked by those looking for quicker solutions.

Interviewing people in the industry you're writing about can prove useful.

Or just hire a writer to do all of the above for you.

Before writing an article, perform a Google search for the keyword you plan to target. Check out the top results, preferably authority sites. If it's a health topic, for example, look for WebMD, MayoClinic, or MedlinePlus and use the information located there. Read up on the topic to educate yourself. Then, minimize your browser, open a Word document, and start typing.

Definitely going to have to agree with all of the post before me on this one. You don't have to be an "expert" on the topic but you should grab as much good relevant information as you can and start from that.

Spend a day or two and gather as much information about that particular niche by reading different articles, forum posts etc. On the 3rd day you will be in a position to write an article. Obviously your grip on that niche will improve over time.

Joining related forums would also give you so many ideas, tips and advice to improve your writing skills as well.

For example if you have to write on "mortgage" then try to participate in mortgage forums and learn from there.

In my experience my answer to your question would be no they are not experts. If you outsource you will want to give them a URL or two where they can retrieve information.

You can search Google, read some articles on that topic, take notes with headlines, takes some important information into points, grab some lightening sentences and finally make your article in your words. You can also outsource someone to do all that at freelancer.com

Practice makes perfect. Just try to do your own writing, and outsource if you need to

I had this problem when I first decided to write. I went to EZA, picked an article, and rewrote it. I did this for two reasons:

1. I could use it somewhere.
2. To learn the niche.

After awhile you'll notice writers on any article about any niche will give basically the same advice written in different ways. If you've caught on to it that far you'll discover you don't need their source material anymore and can write about the niche from any angle simply out of what you've learned.

This works well for me because it makes you have to learn something using more than one method. You have to read it and understand it, then you have to write about it enough to show any reader that you do, and you have to keep repeating the process until you don't need their help anymore.

Using Ezine articles for your only source of research material is an excellent way to continue spreading incorrect and often useless information.

The successful ones? Yes. Most of the others? No. That's why you see so much garbage floating around on the 'net

If you have found a niche that you want to jump into, the first thing you need to do is learn everything you can about it. Who's interested in it? Why would someone be interested in it? What kind of benefits can people get from learning more about it? What kinds of questions do people have about it? What kind of information are they looking for?

And, as some of the other folks have said, you have to make sure to do your homework carefully. There is alot of mis-information floating around out there. Find as many reputable sources as you can, and glean information from all of them.

A big part of article marketing is establishing yourself as an expert. Until you've done some major research, you cannot do that.

Why go through all the trouble of researching and then writing good content? Why not save your time and outsource the work to some freelance writer. You can find good ones at odesk.com for cheaper rates.

This way you will be able to focus your time and efforts on important parts of your business like planning, niche selection, keyword research, marketing etc. Work on your business and not in it.

If you want a bit of practice first, try sites such as constant-content. I've only made a few sales there when I first started, but what I really liked was that if your article was rejected by their editors, they told you why. This allows you the chance to become a better writer as well.

You'll get really good by writing 50 articles about it. By then you'll be an expert... the only way to learn anything is by doing a lot of it.

I remember when Guitar Hero was new, after a couple of weeks I remember thinking that it was crazy how good you can get at something that you do everyday.

You will learn about the product/market by doing the research you'd need to do in order to write the articles. Once you've written a few articles, you will actually know about the product/market, so you could say you were knowledgeable about it.

When you would make the transition from "knowledgeable" to "expert" would depend on many factors; the (complexity of the) niche itself; how prolific you were; and, perhaps most importantly here, what your own definition of "expert" was.

However, unless I'm reading you wrong here, I don't think you were so much after the status of "expert", but rather, more interested in feeling you were at a level where you could feel comfortable writing about a given subject, almost seeking legitimacy; in that case, as I've said, the research you undertake for writing your articles would be sufficient in setting you on your way to reach the level you desire.

outsource or you can do all the hard work yourself

I like to think try for yourself and make sure you know what you want and know what is happening, and see results before you get someone else on board.

But once you outsource a whole new world of opportunities will open up to you.

Cheers

Celente.

Expert is an interesting word. We all started with no skill or knowledge at all whether it was in kindergarten or our first job.

Internet Business Mastery Jay and Sterling really hit the nail on the head. I was listening to their pod cast #76 (free on ITunes with no strings attached) and they discuss "expert" in realistic terms.

Study, research, reflection and realistic writing can lead any of us to be an expert in something - sticking with it long enough. Jay and Sterling said several times, they were not experts in internet marketing when they started but they learned. Soon they discovered they knew more than most others around.

Suddenly - they were experts. By the way, they have a whole series of fee pod casts on ITunes that are exceptional.

If you drop by my blog - I would appreciate any comment you might have and I will respond. I can also hook you up with some other free materials you might find useful.

Best of luck in your search - you are an expert in your own quest already!

Cheers !

Dear Fellow Warriors,

Timyvo here, the creator of this thread and this thread is my first one and probably many more to come. I am surprised I got some many helpful replies from fellow warriors. I thank you all.

Your title or keywords must click to description. Avoid wordy words. [ing]

At least you don't have to be and expert on article writing, just search some good quality article about your topic and edit them. you are done.

It's all about keywording and talking TO the person in the article and understand the target audience. You can write an article about "how to walk a dog" so many ways. I've done it for five years with private and online publications for decent money. I'm trying to move away from writing on whatever topics and start focusing on article marketing for myself or articles in my fields of interest.

To write an excellent article on any keyword, you will have to collect information by searching on internet, read magazines to find related articles. When you have enough material collected you will need to manage this information and write it in your own words to pass the copyscape test.

Have you ever had to write a research paper in high school or college? It is the same concept. As an article marketer you will actually become a bit of an expert on many subjects over time because of exactly what you are talking about. As long as you do your research and you write honest words that are your words, then you can market anything with articles.

Just don't steal someone else's words when you do your research. Always reword everything into your own unique words and you will be just fine.

This is what i do.... I search the niche, learn about it, find other sites and see what kind of information they provide, then i try to make my article better (I do my best).

Become an "expert" in the niche you are promoting, or want to promote and do your best to make your site, article better than your competitors.

OR

If you hate to write and can't stand it, outsource. And focus your energy on tasks that you are good at and enjoy doing.
