First, you will have to start by asking yourself what do you want to learn at the moment. As simple as it seems, I understand the fact that most people have difficulty answering this question. In fact, the reason why I know this is because I was such person before. The funny thing is that one possible way to get your answer is by answering people questions.

Question and Answer forums such as Yahoo!Answer have millions of people asking their questions in their network everyday.

Second, you will have to do a search about the subject. Look for important words that might aid you to find articles about the subject. If you use Google as your primary search engine, you might end up in Wikipedia. I have to say that Wikipedia is not the end of your journey. You will have to read the article and look for important issues and more keywords that may help you in your search. Write down issues that might interest your readers and ignore the rest, but remember that you may not simply plagiarize the articles.

Third, as you get more keywords from previous articles, repeat doing the search using new keywords to find more information about the topic you are trying to write. Make sure that you don't forget to copy paste important points from different articles in to your Notepad. After you think you already have enough material to form a good article, try to retell whatever you just learned in your own word.

Finally, submit your article to writing network such as Bukisa.This is where your money is going to come from. Bukisa is a site that share their advertisement revenue with their writers.
