I am new to Suite, but I understand it well, and I'm gathering that many of you are having some difficulty.
You have to understand something about per click content. In order to be successful you have to be providing content that is associated with goods or services. Period.
Choosing great keywords isn't relevant if your content ads are worth pennies. Advertisers only pay good money to advertise on pages in which the content is associated with their goods or service.
So, while you can write 100 great articles about history or current events, what are you selling? You are a by product seller on this site. You have to think like one. Those 100 articles with .05 a click of which you get a penny or ha' penny aren't going to net you more than 20.00 ish a month. Then you will complain that you aren't making any money, and wonder why others are. Lena Gott http://www.suite101.com/writer_articles.cfm/lilacgirl77/2 made 5000.00 last month. She routinely makes around 2000 as per http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com...n-interview-with-editor-in-chief-colin-smith/
It's because she writes good content. She writes topics that have a higher CPC. She understands SEO and how to use it.
Professional writers should be able to write content on almost any topic if it is written in journalistic style. If you hate writing stories with a higher CPC such as those about solar panels and Mesothelioma, find a balance. It's called "work" for a reason. So write what you love, but ALSO write what will make money.
After taking some time to do a boat load of research, I just started with Suite. In 3 days I posted 6 articles. I've earned 15 cents in revenue and I'm now getting 100 PV's as of today and yesterday. I credit this to research on what sells and how to actually make money on the site. It isn't just good content or SEO.... it's also the right content that matters.
And while Mesothelioma has an almost 50 dollar per click rate it is my belief that finding topics in a mid-range (around 20.00 cpc) balanced with topics in the lower range (around 2.00-3.00 cpc) with a search volume of around 10,000-40,000 (not higher than 75,000 not lower than 5,000) and almost never a cpc of under 1.00, will net you lasting financial benefits, create a diverse online portfolio, and keep you from burning out in any one topic.
ALL of this information is out there, but I've never seen it in one concise place that makes sense for writers. I hope this insight helps you understand how suite works as a place to make money if you're having difficulty.
