A passive income stream can be created by writing articles for companies such as eHow and Associated Content.
Content using search engine optimization or SEO is in demand now and if you adhere to the rules of the trade your content will be higher up in the search engine results.
Using popular keywords is key to making it to the first page. Not popular as in fluff or trendy or unimportant but popular according to which words most people would type in for their search.
For example, if someone is researching laptop computers they will most likely use the general keyword "laptop" to begin their search but there is a high probability they will use a more specific search term using a brand name or weight or size specs.
Using the specific keywords throughout an article or web content will help
the search engines make a good match with a searcher's terms so if yours has the word, your words will come up on the search.
Here are links to articles I've written and you can see how the keywords in my articles and the ads match up for the most part.

This is the gist of SEO writing. You want to get readers to read your information and you want the engines to match ads to your content.
A win win situation. Good content brings readers who increase your page views and may even click on ads that pertain to what they've found.

New eHow Article On Adding Fiber to Your Diet
Adding fiber is my latest try at becoming healthier and maybe to lose weight too. They say the added fiber creates a fullness so you don't overeat. Sometimes just the thought of that makes me jumpy because I like to eat. I worry that the fiber will make me feel "artificially" full and not satisfied but unable to eat what I want.
Yikes!
Even so, I'm trying this and so fart the results are okay. (I decided not to correct my Freudian slip.)
My bowels are working better and with a sluggish thyroid I needed the help.
I do feel full and at times more satisfied so I don't go looking for more food soon after eating.
Here is a link to my article on eHow:

Free Sample from Walmart Oatmeal Crisp Cereal Review
Walmart sends out really nice free samples in my opinion and last night I sampled this latest freebie and it was good!
I admit I ate it straight from the box as a late night snack so I can't comment on how well it holds up in milk but it seemed crunchy enough to handle milk without getting too soggy.
It has a light coating of sweetness with just a touch of cinnamon. Not too strong. With crunchy nuts and flakes it was a satisfying treat.
New Articles on eHow
eHow is a nice company to write for. They have a template for the How To articles to be written in steps giving the articles a nice flow for the most part.
They pay per view like a lot of content sites but the community seems good and the views add up pretty quickly.
With enough articles and a little marketing the pay out could be reached fairly quickly. There are some who say they are making $10.00 daily from just page views. They usually have written over 100 articles to reach that amount but it's worth it they say because it builds a passive income.
The articles keep doing the work long after you've done the work of writing them. They get picked up by the search engines which brings traffic which creates more page views thus more income.
Neat concept.
