Step 1- Find A Hungry Market - Part 2

So...let's suppose that by now, you've got your (1) niche. (Mine is 'waterwheel play table')
You've done all of your searches.

You've got, at least, 10 good keywords...at least half of them, long tailed keywords (three or four words in length.)
I'm using: waterwheel play table, 2 waterwheel play table, step 2 waterwheel play table, sand and water table, naturally playful clubhouse climber, step 2 playhouses, step 2 sandbox, step 2 naturally playful climber, step 2 playhouse, home playhouse step 2, step 2 naturally playful playhouse, step 2 naturally playful sandbox, step 2 welcome home playhouse (Each different play item will have an affiliate link, a separate short article and blog post...for highest optimization.)

You've found two or three affiliates so that you can make some money. (I had to stick with Amazon for now...which is fine...as I can use all of the 'sub-niches' to monetize each of those, this will make up for only having one affiliate program linked to the niche.)

So...now it's time to write a few articles.
Here's a fairly easy way to write your own articles...

Type your niche (mine-'waterwheel play table') + articles into Google. (niche+articles).
Copy and paste the article(s) you find into your wordpad.

Rewrite every sentence of the article into your own words. -- Remember that if you copy content word for word, your articles will not get to the front pages of Google as they will be seen as 'duplicate content'.
As you rewrite each sentence, be sure to delete the original sentence, so that all you'll need to do when you're finished is to copy and paste.

Do NOT put any affiliate links into your articles, then you won't have to worry about which directories accept them and which ones do not. Instead, include a link to your blog in the author's resource/ bio box.
For Go Articles and Associated Content you can put text link, to your blog, within the article if you can work it in.
Best to leave them out of Ezine Article submissions.

GoArticles will publish your article immediately, Associated Content and Ezine Articles must approve them first.

If you really do not like to write articles, you can either Use the articles in GoArticles, Ezine, etc...which you must include the author's name and bio box...including links to their sites.
(Since I don't want to re-direct any traffic....I don't use this method.)

You can outsource your articles, which will cost you a small fee...but you will have all rights to these articles, as well as the author title.

I'll cover article writing and marketing more in Step 2.
