People write on Internet must have a GOOD reason for it. The first reason is EARNING. I am writing because of money, so do you, so do everyone on Helium, except the people that forward their earnings to charity.
But they are VERY RARE. The most important reason for Internet writing is COMPETITION. The more articles there are, the better results will be… It is the same rule as in economy…
The bigger fish eats the smaller one. That’s the way it was, the way it is, and the way it will be.
Writers need to be competitive, just because from more articles about one topic you can get more informations. If you didn’t notice, there are topics which have 100s of articles and there are topics which have only a few. The ones with few articles have lack of competition.
People write blogs that should get thousands of visits, but they get only a few. WHY? You can guess this one easily. Big competition. Someone must fail so someone could succeed. Again it is the same like with economy. But this is a cruel truth.
Writers need to be competitive because there is, COMPETITION. Obviously.
Writers need to be competitive because their articles must be interesting and entertaining (not like this article, but it doesn’t matter). Their articles should be informative and detailed, so they can provide many informations. Internet writers should be aware that their articles are more attractive to readers if they would have some external links, videos (if available), comments, polls, and etc.
But there are some websites where the only option is writing, writing and writing…..
And now, my favorite quote about knowledge:
“Information is not knowledge.
The only source of knowledge is experience.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.”
- Albert Einstein
There are a great many reasons why Internet writers not only have to be competitive but have to think competitive at all times if they are to know anything like the true limits of their potential success. There are tens of thousands – at least – of Internet writers competing for assignments, page views and even membership of or positions on Websites. If an Internet writer is not therefore as competitive as they can find it within themselves to be, they are likely to get left trailing far behind or even trampled underfoot in the stampede.
The first instance where it is vital for an Internet writer to be competitive is in their mind. They have to focus at all times upon ways in which they are going to better their rivals and competition and secure those page views and assignments. They have to constantly be looking to go one step better than their competitors and be the best in all which they attempt to do and achieve.
The second area in which an Internet writer has to be competitive is in their ability as writers and in the quality of the work they produce. They have to constantly be looking for new and innovative ways in which to produce their articles and original and interesting subjects upon which to write. They have to ensure that the information they include in their articles is interesting for the reader at all times and, above all perhaps, accurate. They should research in depth any subject upon which they do not already consider themselves extremely knowledgeable and ensure that their article may safely and accurately be used a reference point upon the subject in question.
An Internet writer also has to be competitive in choosing the particular markets to which they write. They have to consider how popular the specific Website they intend writing for is. They have to consider how competitive the rewards it offers its writers are in relation to the competition. It is important, however, that the overall reward package be considered, as greater exposure in the long term may prove more beneficial than a short term and one-off financial incentive.
An Internet writer must always bear in mind that the very nature of the craft or career which they have chosen for themselves is an extremely competitive one. If they do not have the right mindset and constantly remain on the lookout to boost their competitive edge over their competitors and fellow Internet writers, they will be extremely unlikely to know the success which they have chosen to strive to achieve.
