How long does each article need to be?
Each article should be at least 400 words. 500+ words is even better. Ultimately, the quality of information is more important than the quantity. So a very good, high impact article of around 350 words would be acceptable. But quality plus quantity is golden. An article would usually be roughly one page in MS Word, single space, Times New Roman (usually the default font), font size of 12. Articles that make use of bullet points or numerous small paragraphs could well take up to a page and a half or so.
What is a topic and what is a title?
A topic is a healthcare subject, such as acne, erectile dysfunction, or tinnitus. A title is the name of the article, which focuses on one aspect of the topic. For instance, on the topic tinnitus, a couple of titles (articles) could be: How to stop tinnitus dead in its tracks, or Are home remedies for tinnitus really effective? We are usually looking for a set 5 to 10 titles (articles) to cover a topic from different perspectives.
Titles generally focus on keywords, or what people are inputting into search engines when they want specific information about a topic.
Can I just write a partial set?
Sure. There is no requirement that you must write articles on all the titles in the set. If you don’t want to write all the articles on a certain topic, just pick the ones you want. You will be paid for the number of articles you successfully write up.
How many topics can I write about?
You can write about as many topics as you would like. In fact, the more health subjects you write on, the more money you can make. We request that you only select up to three topics at a time. Each topic would contain 5-10 articles, so 3 topics will give you enough for 15-30 articles. Then, once you write up those articles, you can select up to 3 additional topics again. Lather, rinse, repeat.
How many articles do I write for one topic?
Most of our article packs contain 5 to 10 articles, each one around one page or so in length. Some packs will have more articles, depending on the topic. Some subjects have far more world-wide search volume, meaning more people are interested in some titles than others. More titles make for a bigger pack.
When you submit the topics you are interested in, I will send you the titles. This will make your subject easy to write about, as each title “drills down” into a specific area.
What format do I submit my articles to you?
First, decide where on your computer you want to keep your article files. You might keep all your articles in one folder, or a separate folder for each healthcare subject. How you keep your files is totally up to you.
Articles you write should use the MS Word program, be single spaced (double spaced between paragraphs), make use of bold print for titles/subheadings, bullets when needed. The .doc format is preferred to the .docx, but we’ll accept either. We’ll convert it to the formats we need if necessary. I want to make things as easy as possible for you, so I don’t expect you to get bogged down with technical issues.
Send all of your articles on a given subject at one time via the Submit your articles page. If your topic is on, say, acne, and you are writing seven articles about that topic, send all seven at one time. Please don’t submit two on Monday and the other five on Friday. Send them all at once. If you are currently working on three topics, e.g., acne, scabies and pregnancy, send the articles on one of those topics as soon as you get the set completed.
I have finished the set of topics I chose and I would like to do more. How do I go about choosing more?
Glad you want to write on more topics! The write4us.com website maintains a current list of topics we need articles on. Just go to our Topics page for a current list of the healthcare subjects we need. Then, choose the topics you want just like you did for your previous topics.
How do I know what to write about?
On the Topics page you will find a list of topics we need articles on. The reason we must know what topics you choose before you write is because we want to give you basic titles to work with. As an example, “infertility” is one of the health topics we need solid articles on. But members of our target audience are not looking up infertility in general. They (usually females) want to know specific things about infertility.
After you select the topics you are interested in and have completed the contact information, check the box indicating that you understand and accept the Terms (Agreement). A copy of the Agreement is found on the Agreement page.
Once you have chosen and submitted your subject requests, we’ll send you your working titles. It is those titles that will form the basis of your articles. Then all you have to do is spend a little time researching and writing.
Can I change my mind about what to write about?
Absolutely! There is no requirement about what topic you can write on. You are free to change your mind if, after seeing the topic titles, you decide to tackle another subject.
Is there a deadline for writing my articles?
No. You can take as long as you want. However, we leave a topic “active” until we have enough material on that topic to satisfy the needs of our clients. Some topics might have multiple authors, each with different titles and slants, of course. Some topics will have only one author. When a topic is as thorough as we want to make it, we take it down. We will reinstate it if new data, research, or changing public needs warrants a different direction in that topic.
How do I do the research? Where can I find the information that I can use in my articles?
Good questions. Obviously, your articles are only as good as the research and knowledge you put into them. We have much more to say about this on our Writing Guidelines page.
Do I get credit for my articles?
No, you don’t get credit as the author, since we are paying for your articles to be used as PLR.
The whole purpose of PLR is that a buyer can take the material and adapt it to their personal, professional or business life. This means they can change it up and put their own name to it. This is the main thing that makes PLR so attractive to folks who buy it. PLR I personally do is the same. I don’t get credit for it. My goal is to provide great, professional content that can help meet people’s needs where they are. The financial compensation is the credit I get. It can be yours, too.
Do you accept any articles on subjects other than health related?
Our PLR site, healtharticlesplr.com, is all about healthcare topics. We focus on a wide range of physical, emotional and psychological subjects, ultimately related to promoting good health. If you don’t see a health-related topic on the PLR topics page but would like to tackle it, please let me know.
Can I make a lot of money writing articles for you?
You certainly won’t get rich writing articles for us. For starters, there are only so many topics we need articles on, and only so many articles for each topic. However, if you would like a quick and easy way to pay for some groceries, go out to dinner, buy gas for your car or fund your holiday gifts, this is a perfect way to make some easy pocket change.
