I've been doing this type of writing for about two months now. I enjoy it to a certain extent, but I have so much trouble writing articles about things I find boring. How do you deal with this? It really gets to me and then I get totally jammed up and the words won't come. Anyone have any tips for me?

can you explain what a SEO article is?? lol but in writing articles, there are 2 basic problems: you don't like the topic, or you have done so much research but till came up with few information. it annoys me so much as well. but not being interested to the topic is not that big deal for me. cause as long as i have started making the article, the urge of researching and writing for more is always in me. learning to be a flexible writer i think cannot be taught in words, a person just develops it especially when you're writing for quite some time already. but i really do need SEO article explaining. lol

SEO helps drive traffic to websites through using specific keywords. It's boring work, but the only writing work that's paid me anything.

im an article writer as well, but i don't do the SEO, just UAW and plain articles. pretty fun, though sometimes my employer give me keywords (such as Helmet Camera) that im not really interested about. if you're a full-time writer then you have 2 choices to get your problem fixed. one, you can search for online writing jobs (PM me if you want help, i got tons of them), or you can just wait for a while until you can adjust to your new job.. :)

Tammy27, i would like to take you up on that offer as i am an article writer but still earning some mean change, most of my 0mylot earnings have come from writing for sharonbucks, basically article writing but with you using the list of keywords she gave. I know that is SEO wrting too and since you do write article with title and keyword but you couldn't do perfect SEO if you were told, you are a good writer too, as you only need to use the keyword once in all your paragraghs. Tammy27, i would like to write for some of those writers you say you got a lot of and hope you could direct me, would send you a pm right away and a friend request.

odesk didn't work for me. lol i just dont find it user-friendly and the job accessibility is so difficult. i found other sites where i work part-time now, but of course working full-time is the best. :) PM me if you need more help, i'll be glad to help you... :)

SEO writing will generally cater to whatever someone wants you to write. They're paying you because they can't write it themselves. But here's a tip: try Associated Content. Well, it's the Yahoo! Contributor network now, because Yahoo! just bought them, but AC is SEO article writing. You can write about anything you want and they will consider giving you payments upfront for them on almost any topic. You can also choose to write assignments that they already have chosen.

The upfront payments vary but it isn't uncommon to receive $10.00 for them, especially for assignments. They also increase the more you write and the longer and better you prove yourself as a writer. You can post articles that you have written elsewhere, though not for upfront payment.

how much upfront bonuses do they pay? do they require us to post original articles? in the sense if i have written an article in some other site, ca i still post it in associated content??

I am a writer too and I usually deal with these occasions by tweaking something in the content or topic - like the manner, style or form. I also try to look and perceive the content in another or interesting angle where my readers can appreciate and relate with it. It isn't easy but you have to try to make the content fresh and your audience interested and engaged. You can also try to find related terms to the topic that can make it interesting. Try the basic methods of writing - it might help you on writing that content.
