How To Turn Articles Into Short Reports

You spend a lot of time writing articles and blog posts you share a lot of good content. Why not get some extra mileage from the time and effort you've spent and turn them into short reports.

Compilation Content

If you have discovered 5 to 10 articles related to a central theme since the beginning it becomes very easy. If you do not take the time to look through the archives of your blog and through articles you've written and find some that go great together.

Paste items into a single document. You can use Microsoft Word for this and the text document to Open Office.

A little more content tie it all together

If necessary wrote a few paragraphs of transition to go smoothly from one section to another. Each article or blog post will be a short section of your report.

Add a short introduction explaining the overall concept or subject of the report.

Tips Simple Formatting

Then it's time to do a little formatting. Turn the titles of your articles into sections. Use this option to insert a table of contents. Create a footer with page numbers and copyright information. I also include a link to my site in the footer.

A title page for your report

Create a title page for your short report. Mine usually includes the title of the report, a linked image, my name as the author and a link to my site.

About the author

I also create a short "about the author" section that highlights my experience in the niche of the report is centered with links to my niche site, blog and other short reports.

Monetization

Last but not least, it's time to monetize the report. You can do this in several ways.

Include affiliate links in content: Read the contents of each chapter of your report and find a few affiliate products that you could promote. For example, if I mention answering machines in one of the articles, I could link to my affiliate link to Aweber every time I use the word "auto responder".

Include ads Image and Text: Towards the end of each chapter, or if it makes sense in the content, add an ad. I find it helps to understand a text and an image with a strong call to action.

Create a page Resources: The easiest option is to create a resource page at the end of your report that includes one or two links and brief descriptions for each offer only affiliate.

As you can see, it's pretty quick and easy to recycle more of your articles and blog posts in a brief report. You can then use this report to build your short list and get more traffic.
