How to Make More Money on LODPOST with Premium Articles

How to Make More Money on LODPOST with Premium Articles: A Complete Guide for Writers

Are you a LODPOST writer looking to increase your earnings? Publishing ordinary articles is a great way to share your knowledge and earn from your content, but have you explored the opportunity of Premium Articles?

LODPOST Premium Articles gives eligible writers an opportunity to create exclusive content, set a selling price and earn when readers purchase their articles. Instead of depending only on regular readership, you can turn your knowledge, experience, research and practical guides into content that readers are willing to pay for.

However, simply publishing a Premium Article does not guarantee sales. You need the right topic, useful information, reasonable pricing, effective SEO and a good promotional strategy.

In this comprehensive tutorial, we will explain how to use Premium Articles, what to write, how to price your content in Nigerian naira and US dollars, where to promote it, how to attract international buyers and how to take advantage of LODPOST Premium Membership to grow your writing business.

1. What Are LODPOST Premium Articles?

Premium Articles are exclusive paid-content publications that allow writers to earn money from confirmed reader purchases.

Unlike ordinary articles that readers can access as regular content, Premium Articles are designed for valuable information that readers are willing to pay for.

For example, you could publish:

• A complete step-by-step tutorial.
• A detailed business startup guide.
• An exclusive technology review.
• A practical farming and agricultural guide.
• A digital marketing training guide.
• A detailed financial or educational resource.
• An original research report.
• A professional guide based on your personal experience.

The idea is simple: create something useful, make it available as premium content and attract readers who are interested in purchasing it.

Think of your Premium Articles as digital products. You invest time in researching and creating valuable information, publish it on LODPOST and promote it to people who may benefit from your knowledge.

2. You Need an Active Premium Membership

To take advantage of the Premium Articles system, you need an active LODPOST Premium Membership.

Premium Membership provides additional tools and opportunities for your writing journey, including:

• Premium Articles: Create and manage exclusive paid articles while your membership is active.
• Author Analytics: Monitor your article performance and understand your content readership.
• Higher Publishing Limit: Enjoy a higher daily article publishing limit.
• Premium Verification Badge: Display your Premium verification badge while your membership is active.
• Engagement Earnings: Participate in the engagement earnings programme, subject to account activation and eligibility.
• Referral Benefits: Access Premium referral commission benefits, including up to 50% referral commission under the referral programme.
• Donation Benefits: Enjoy 0% LODPOST platform commission on donations while your Premium membership is active.

Premium Membership is available through two payment options shown on the membership page:

Visit your Member Dashboard and select Premium Membership to review the available plans and activate your membership.

Important: Premium membership benefits are available while your membership is active. Premium Articles are exclusive content for eligible active Premium members. Readers must also have an active Premium Membership to access this exclusive content.

This means your potential customers are not limited to writers. Other eligible Premium members who are interested in your topic can become your readers and customers.

3. What Type of Articles Should You Write to Make More Sales?

This is one of the most important questions every Premium Article writer should consider.

Not every article is suitable for paid publication. Readers are more likely to purchase content that solves a problem, teaches them something valuable, saves them time or provides information they cannot easily find in a short ordinary article.

Here are some valuable content categories worth exploring.

A. Online Business and Make-Money Guides

People are constantly searching for ways to make money online, start businesses and improve their financial opportunities.

Consider writing:

• How to Start an Online Business With Little Capital.
• Complete Guide to Making Money Through Freelancing.
• How to Start a Profitable Digital Products Business.
• Practical Guide to Affiliate Marketing for Beginners.
• How to Build a Blog and Monetize It.
• How to Start a Successful YouTube Channel.
• How to Make Money Selling Digital Products Internationally.

Include practical instructions, tools, examples, common mistakes and realistic expectations. Avoid promising guaranteed income.

B. Technology and Smartphone Tutorials

Technology is another excellent category because people regularly need help with smartphones, applications, software and digital services.

Potential Premium Article topics include:

• Complete Android Smartphone Troubleshooting Guide.
• How to Build a Professional Website From Scratch.
• Complete WordPress Website Management Guide.
• How to Protect Your Online Accounts From Hackers.
• How to Use Artificial Intelligence to Improve Productivity.
• Complete Guide to Smartphone Photography.
• How to Build and Manage a Website Using WordPress.

C. Agriculture and Farming Business Guides

Agriculture offers excellent opportunities for detailed educational content, especially when you provide practical information for beginners.

Consider publishing:

• Complete Rabbit Farming Business Plan.
• How to Start Grasscutter Farming in Nigeria.
• Commercial Poultry Farming From Beginner to Professional.
• How to Start Snail Farming With Limited Capital.
• 40 Profitable Agricultural Business Ideas.
• How to Grow Pepper and Tomatoes Commercially.
• How to Start Fish Farming and Find Customers.

Include startup costs, equipment, feeding, housing, breeding, expected expenses, marketing and potential risks.

D. Education and Professional Tutorials

People are willing to invest in resources that help them learn valuable skills.

• Complete Graphic Design Training Guide.
• How to Learn Web Development From Scratch.
• Practical Digital Marketing Training.
• How to Create Professional CVs and Resumes.
• Complete Guide to Starting a Freelance Career.
• How to Learn Video Editing From Beginner to Professional.

E. Finance and Personal Development

Useful financial education and personal development resources can also attract paying readers.

• How to Create a Personal Monthly Budget.
• Practical Guide to Managing a Small Business.
• How to Save Money and Build Financial Discipline.
• How to Develop Skills That Increase Your Career Opportunities.
• How to Manage Your First Business Successfully.

F. International Topics With Global Demand

Do not limit your writing ideas to Nigerian readers alone. Consider topics that can attract readers from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and other countries.

• Remote Work Opportunities for Beginners.
• How to Build a Professional Freelance Portfolio.
• Complete Guide to Starting an E-commerce Business.
• How to Use AI Tools for Small Business Productivity.
• Practical Guide to Personal Finance Management.
• How to Create and Sell Online Courses.

International topics can help you reach a wider audience, particularly when your content is written in clear English and addresses problems experienced by readers around the world.

4. How Much Should You Charge for a Premium Article?

Choosing the right price is important. If your price is too high compared with the value offered, potential readers may decide not to purchase. If your price is too low, you may undervalue the time and effort required to produce quality content.

Your pricing should consider the length of your article, research effort, usefulness, originality, depth and the audience you want to reach.

A. Suggested Nigerian Naira Pricing

For Nigerian readers, consider these suggested starting prices:

B. Suggested US Dollar Pricing

If your account's available pricing options support USD-denominated Premium Articles, you can also consider reaching international buyers with the following suggested prices:

Our recommendation: Start with affordable prices such as ₦200–₦500 for Nigerian audiences or $0.40–$2 for international audiences, where the relevant currency and pricing options are available.

Once you have built a reputation and understand what your audience wants, you can introduce more comprehensive resources at higher prices.

Remember that a higher price should come with higher value. Do not charge ₦2,000 or $20 for a short article that contains information readers can easily find elsewhere.

These are suggested pricing strategies, not confirmed platform price limits. Always use the currencies and pricing options actually available when creating your Premium Article.

5. How to Write a Premium Article That People Want to Buy

Writing Premium Articles requires a different approach from publishing ordinary articles. You are offering readers something valuable enough to justify a purchase.

Follow these recommendations:

Step 1: Identify a Real Problem

Start by identifying something people genuinely want to learn or solve.

For example, instead of writing a general article titled "Rabbit Farming," consider:

"Complete Rabbit Farming Business Guide in Nigeria: Housing, Feeding, Breeding, Startup Costs and Marketing."

The second title communicates exactly what readers will learn.

Step 2: Research Your Topic

Before writing, research your subject carefully. Use reliable sources, official documentation, personal experience and practical examples.

Do not simply copy information from other websites. Your Premium Article should offer original explanations and additional value.

Step 3: Make Your Article Comprehensive

A good Premium Article should contain enough information to help the reader achieve a meaningful result.

Where appropriate, include:

• A clear introduction.
• Detailed explanations.
• Step-by-step instructions.
• Practical examples.
• Tables and comparisons.
• Common mistakes to avoid.
• Useful resources and tools.
• A conclusion with actionable advice.

Step 4: Make the Introduction Convincing

Your introduction should explain the problem, what the reader will learn and why the information is valuable.

Give readers a reason to continue exploring your article.

Step 5: Use Proper Formatting

Make your article easy to read on smartphones and computers.

• Use descriptive headings.
• Break long paragraphs into smaller sections.
• Use bullet points where appropriate.
• Include relevant images and illustrations.
• Use tables when comparing information.
• Proofread your content before publishing.

Step 6: Include Something Readers Can Apply

Practical resources can make your Premium Article more valuable.

Depending on your subject, consider including:

• Business planning templates.
• Budgeting examples.
• Checklists.
• Sample documents.
• Step-by-step exercises.
• Useful resource lists.

Give readers more than general information. Help them understand how to put what they have learned into practice.

6. How to Create and Publish Your Premium Article

Once your Premium Membership is active, you can begin creating exclusive content.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your LODPOST account.
2. Open your Member Dashboard.
3. Select My Premium Articles from the dashboard menu.
4. Click Create Premium Article.
5. Enter a clear and attractive article title.
6. Select the most appropriate category.
7. Write a compelling article summary.
8. Add your complete article content.
9. Upload a relevant featured image where requested.
10. Set a reasonable selling price in the available currency.
11. Review your article carefully and submit it for publication.

After submission, your article may need to pass the platform's review process before publication.

After publication, return to My Premium Articles to monitor your articles, confirmed sales and earnings.

7. How to Get More People to Purchase Your Premium Articles

Publishing an article is only the beginning. You must actively introduce your content to the people who need it.

Do not depend entirely on visitors discovering your article through the LODPOST homepage.

Here are some effective promotional methods.

A. Promote on WhatsApp

WhatsApp is one of the easiest ways to introduce your Premium Articles to people who already know you.

Use your WhatsApp Status to:

• Announce every newly published Premium Article.
• Share an attractive article cover image.
• Explain the problem your article solves.
• Share a short preview of what readers will learn.
• Include the direct article link.

You can also share your article in relevant WhatsApp groups, but always respect group rules and avoid repetitive promotional messages.

B. Promote on Facebook

Facebook can help you reach people interested in your chosen subject.

Share your Premium Articles in relevant communities, including:

• Business and entrepreneurship groups.
• Technology and smartphone communities.
• Agriculture and farming groups.
• Education and career communities.
• Online business and digital marketing groups.

Do not just drop a link. Write a useful introduction explaining why someone in that community might need your guide.

C. Promote on Telegram

Telegram is another useful platform for reaching interested readers.

You can share your articles through your Telegram channel, relevant communities and professional groups.

Consider building your own audience around a specific topic, such as farming, technology, business or online earning.

D. Use X (Twitter)

Write short, informative posts about your article topic. Share useful tips and invite interested readers to access your complete Premium Article.

E. Use LinkedIn

For professional subjects such as business, education, technology and career development, LinkedIn can help you reach an audience interested in learning and professional growth.

F. Use Pinterest

Pinterest can be useful for topics such as cooking, fashion, business ideas, farming, education, design and tutorials.

Create attractive vertical graphics that introduce your article and direct interested readers to its LODPOST page.

G. Share With Your Existing LODPOST Audience

Connect with other writers and readers on LODPOST. Publish valuable ordinary articles, participate in the community and introduce your Premium Articles when they are relevant.

Building relationships and becoming a helpful member of the community can make more people interested in your work.

8. How to Use SEO to Attract Buyers From Google

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) helps your content become discoverable when people search for information on Google and other search engines.

Good SEO is especially important because your potential buyers may not already be following you on LODPOST.

Choose Searchable Article Titles

Think about the exact words people type into Google.

For example:

• Instead of "My Farming Experience," use "How to Start Rabbit Farming in Nigeria: A Complete Beginner's Guide."
• Instead of "Online Business Ideas," use "15 Profitable Online Businesses You Can Start With Little Capital."
• Instead of "Learn WordPress," use "How to Create a WordPress Website From Scratch."

Use Relevant Keywords

Identify the main keyword for your article and use it naturally in:

• The article title.
• The introduction.
• Relevant section headings.
• The article body.
• The image alternative text where applicable.

Avoid keyword stuffing. Write naturally for human readers.

Write a Strong Article Summary

Your summary should clearly explain what the article covers and why someone should read it.

For example:

"Learn how to start rabbit farming in Nigeria with this comprehensive guide covering housing, feeding, breeding, startup costs, disease prevention and marketing strategies for beginners."

Use Attractive Featured Images

Your featured image should represent the subject of your article. Use clear, professional images that look good when shared on Facebook, WhatsApp and other platforms.

Build Topical Authority

Instead of publishing unrelated topics every day, consider building a collection of articles around a particular subject.

For example, a farming writer could publish separate guides on:

• Rabbit farming.
• Grasscutter farming.
• Snail farming.
• Poultry farming.
• Fish farming.

This helps readers discover more of your work and gives you opportunities to build a recognizable content niche.

Target International Search Traffic

If you want to reach readers outside Nigeria, create content that addresses international search queries.

For example, instead of focusing only on "How to Start a Business in Nigeria," you could also write guides such as:

• How to Start an Online Business From Home.
• Best Freelancing Skills for Beginners.
• How to Build a Website for Your Small Business.
• How to Start Selling Digital Products Online.

Use clear English, internationally understandable examples and keywords that match the audience you want to attract.

Important SEO advice: Search engines may index publicly accessible article information, but do not assume that the complete paid content will be indexed or displayed. Focus on publicly visible information and follow search engine guidelines. Never publish your entire paid article as a free duplicate elsewhere.

9. Give Readers a Free Preview Without Giving Away Everything

One effective marketing strategy is to show potential buyers what they will receive before they purchase.

For example, if you have written a comprehensive business guide, your promotional post could explain:

• What business the guide covers.
• Who the guide is designed for.
• What challenges it helps readers understand.
• The major topics covered inside.
• Why the complete guide may be useful.

You can share a short free introduction or selected insights while keeping the full paid resource exclusive.

Never mislead readers about what is included. Your preview should accurately represent the complete article.

Example of a Premium Article Promotional Message

Want to Start Rabbit Farming but Don't Know Where to Begin?

I've published a comprehensive guide covering rabbit housing, feeding, breeding, startup costs, disease prevention and marketing.

If you want to understand the business before investing your money, this guide will help you learn the important fundamentals.

10. Take Advantage of Premium Membership to Grow Your Writing Business

Premium Membership is more than a verification badge. It provides additional tools that can support your development as a LODPOST writer.

Here is how to use these benefits effectively.

Use Author Analytics

Monitor your article views and earnings. Study which topics attract attention and use that information when planning future publications.

Do not simply publish more articles without understanding what your readers actually enjoy.

Use Your Higher Publishing Limit Wisely

Having the opportunity to publish more articles is useful, but quality should always come before quantity.

Create a publishing schedule that allows you to research, write, edit and promote your content properly.

Build Your Premium Reputation

Your Premium verification badge can help identify your membership status. Combine it with consistent, original and useful publications to build reader confidence.

Explore Engagement Earnings

Eligible activated members can also participate in the LODPOST Engagement Earnings programme.

Qualifying activities include reading and engaging with articles through likes, comments, shares and new followers, subject to programme requirements.

As an author, you can benefit from qualifying engagement on your own articles as well as from eligible activities as a participant. These are separate earning opportunities from Premium Article purchases.

Use the Referral Programme

Introduce other writers to LODPOST through your referral link. Eligible referral commissions provide another opportunity to earn alongside your writing activities.

Take Advantage of Donation Benefits

Premium members enjoy 0% LODPOST platform commission on donations while their membership is active, according to the applicable membership benefits.

Where appropriate, let your readers know they can support your work through the available donation feature.

11. Understand Your Premium Article Earnings Dashboard

After publishing your Premium Articles, your dashboard provides useful information about your publications and sales.

Some of the important dashboard sections include:

• Total Articles: See how many Premium Articles you have created.
• Published: View your published articles.
• Awaiting Review: Track articles that are still awaiting review.
• Confirmed Sales: Monitor completed and confirmed article purchases.
• Rejected: See articles that were rejected.
• NGN Writer Earnings: View your Nigerian naira earnings.
• USD Writer Earnings: View your US dollar earnings.
• Purchased Articles: Access information about your purchased content.
• Withdrawals: Access your Premium Article withdrawal records.

The separate NGN and USD writer earnings displays help you monitor earnings in their respective currencies without assuming that the balances are automatically combined.

Make it a habit to review your dashboard regularly. Pay attention to confirmed sales and actual available earnings rather than assuming every visit or promotional click represents a purchase.

12. A Practical 30-Day Premium Article Growth Strategy

If you are serious about earning from Premium Articles, you need a consistent plan. Here is a simple 30-day strategy to help you get started.

Week 1: Research and Preparation

• Choose a profitable subject you understand.
• Research what potential readers are searching for.
• Identify three to five useful Premium Article topics.
• Study similar resources and identify what you can improve.
• Prepare your first article and featured image.

Week 2: Publish and Promote

• Publish your first Premium Article.
• Choose a reasonable introductory price.
• Share it on WhatsApp, Facebook and Telegram.
• Write useful promotional posts.
• Ask interested readers for honest feedback.

Week 3: Expand Your Content

• Publish another valuable Premium Article.
• Explore a related topic in your chosen niche.
• Share educational tips that introduce your paid guides.
• Connect with readers and other writers.
• Review your article performance.

Week 4: Improve and Optimize

• Check your confirmed sales.
• Identify which article attracts the most interest.
• Improve your promotional messages.
• Review your pricing strategy.
• Plan your next month's content.

Consistency is important, but remember that sales are not guaranteed. Use the first 30 days to learn about your audience, improve your content and build a sustainable promotional strategy.

13. Common Mistakes Premium Article Writers Should Avoid

Many writers make mistakes that reduce their chances of attracting paying readers. Avoid the following:

• Publishing low-value content: Do not charge readers for content that provides little practical benefit.
• Setting unrealistic prices: Your price should reflect the quality and usefulness of your article.
• Ignoring promotion: Do not expect every article to sell automatically.
• Using misleading titles: Your article must deliver what its title promises.
• Copying other people's work: Publish original content and respect copyright.
• Ignoring SEO: Make your articles discoverable through relevant search terms.
• Publishing without proofreading: Correct spelling, grammar and formatting mistakes.
• Giving up too early: Building an audience and earning consistent sales takes time.
• Ignoring reader feedback: Learn from questions, suggestions and genuine complaints.
• Targeting everybody: Identify the audience most likely to benefit from your particular subject.

14. How Much Can You Make From Premium Articles?

Your earnings depend on your article prices, the number of confirmed purchases and the demand for your content.

You can publish valuable content for Nigerian audiences and, where supported by your available pricing options, target international readers with USD-denominated articles.

Example 1: Potential Earnings in Nigerian Naira

Example 2: Potential Earnings in US Dollars

Example 3: Build a Portfolio of Five Premium Articles

Imagine you have five valuable Premium Articles, each selling for $5, and each article receives 20 confirmed purchases.

Example 4: What If Your Articles Attract More Buyers?

Consider another hypothetical example in which you create ten comprehensive Premium Articles and each receives 50 confirmed purchases at $10 per purchase.

These examples demonstrate how a collection of valuable digital publications could create significant sales opportunities if you successfully attract enough buyers.

Important: These figures are hypothetical illustrations, not promised earnings or predictions. Actual writer earnings depend on confirmed purchases, applicable platform terms, available currencies and any applicable deductions. Gross sales value is not necessarily the same as your withdrawable balance.

The important lesson is that one valuable article can continue attracting potential buyers long after publication, especially when you promote it properly and maintain its relevance.

15. Final Advice: Think Like a Digital Publisher, Not Just a Writer

If you want to maximize your earnings on LODPOST, start thinking beyond publishing ordinary articles.

Think about the problems people face. Think about the knowledge you have acquired. Think about the practical guides you can create and the information that could help someone start a business, learn a skill or solve a difficult problem.

Then turn that knowledge into valuable Premium Articles.

Do not publish just because you want to increase your article count. Publish because you have something meaningful to offer.

Choose your niche, research your audience, create outstanding content, set fair prices, optimize for search engines and promote your work consistently.

Take advantage of Premium Membership, use your author analytics, build relationships with other writers and continually improve your content.

Remember: Your knowledge can become an asset. Your experience can become a guide. Your articles can become digital products that create earning opportunities in both Nigerian naira and US dollars.

Start small, remain consistent and build your reputation one valuable publication at a time.
