One way to make money online is by taking on writing jobs. In this article, you will learn how to find those great writing jobs using keyword research. If you're not familiar with the ways that you can search online, here are some simple, yet important things to consider. There are 3 main keyword searching options to find great writing jobs online. These are: Broad Match, Phrase Match and Exact Match.

 

It's simple to do a keyword search. Just type in the keyword phrase and let the search engine do the rest. I normally use Google and if you do as well, you'll notice that there will be several keyword options listed at the bottom of your page after you complete your search. Make note of these for future searches.

 

The first keyword search we're going to look at is: Broad match. The keyword is: "Technical writing." This brings back many millions of results, largely because the search engine use both words separately.

 

When you look at the words at the bottom of the page, you might find a better search. If not, chance are your search is too broad and you'll need to narrow your focus to get better results.

 

One way of doing this is to use a phrase match search. This is where you add quotation marks around the keyword phrase, like this: "keyword research" This tells the search engine to look for pages that use this phrase. Using quotes in this way help us narrow the search even more. We still get millions of results, though considerably less than before.

 

The other keyword research method we'll look at is: Exact match. This is where you put brackets around the keyword, like this: [keyword] Using our keyword: [technical writing], we get over 24 million results, which is way too much. Sometimes this method can be unpredictable, as you've seen here.

 

Our last keyword search method is: "Long tail keywords," so named because each keyword adds to the "tail." To elaborate, we're going to add more words to the keyword phrase and do a broad match search. The keyword this time is: technical writing jobs telecommuting. This time we get 80,000 results, which is much better. We can tighten that search further by adding quotation marks around the keyword, effectively doing a phrase match search. This time we only get a few results, which might be exactly what you're looking for. There you have it, 4 methods of doing effective keyword research online, to make money online.
