How do you make money online writing good articles? There are so many articles out there that yours will make a difference. In this article we go over some of the schemes of article marketing and how to promote your work.
This may seem like a daunting fact to many as they think they don’t have the skills or don’t know what to write about. You don’t have to be a Shakespeare to be successful in this business. In fact, at first you might just be terrible. But like all things in life, if you put in the effort, you’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll get good at it.
Writing articles for cash is a great way to start making money online. It can take up to an hour a day to write one and then send it. If you’ve done your writing work, you’ll get the traffic, and in return you’ll build a reputation, which can be turned into cash with the products you promote.
Below are the basic rules to follow, if you follow them you will be fine.
1. Title:
Use your keyword phrase in the title, for example ‘7 rules on how to make money online writing articles’, the keyword phrase being ‘how to make money online’
2. Monkey:
Write about 300-500 words on the topic you have chosen. Obviously, prior research is required, such as keywords and articles on the same topic.
a) Paragraph 1- At the beginning of your article, indicate the reason for the article and why it exists.
b) Paragraph 2 – Talk about the topic and the problem. Once again, you can find out from your own research.
c) Following paragraphs – Talk about ways to overcome this problem. The trick to writing articles is to keep it short and to the point. A paragraph should be no more than 2-3 sentences. However, don’t panic if you go over that amount, it’s not a strict rule… the article police won’t be knocking on your door. Bang!… Bang!… Bang!… in a while, someone knocks on the door.
d) Final paragraph – Talk about the conclusion, how to fix it or overcome the problem.
Now, one thing to keep in mind is that it doesn’t have to be perfect, a masterpiece, or a novel. Once you start in this industry, you will realize that early on. If you stick to it, you can easily earn money online by writing and submitting articles.
3. Find an affiliate program:
This is important if you want to make money online, you have to have a product to sell or promote that you think will help with the problem. Finding an affiliate program can be as simple as doing a search on one of the many search engines for ‘your affiliate program theme’.
4. Add your affiliate link:
Sign up for the affiliate program and get your affiliate link to promote in your article. Sometimes you will be asked to provide your link in an article directory resource box.
The resource box consists of a few paragraphs that explain a bit about you and the product you are promoting. The way to do this is to be subtle with your wording, try to stay away from ‘Do this’ or ‘Click here’. You don’t have to… it’s just something I like to keep in mind.
5. Submission of your articles:
When you’ve finished your article and proofread it, it’s time to send it out into the world and see what happens. Here is a list of the top 5 article directories voted by Alexa rating:
a) EzineArticles.com
b) ehow.com
c) Articlebase.com
d) Buzzle.com
e) Helio.com
6. Make a cup of tea or coffee:
Try to cut down on sugar as it is not good for you, by using honey. Find a comfortable rocking chair, sit back and stare at your computer screen, singing ‘read my article’ ‘read my article’ ‘read my article’…
7. Write another:
I know someone who writes an article a day and makes good money online from these articles. Finding the right program to promote is also essential to your success in making money online. Sew wisely and you will reap the rewards.
Anyway, that’s all for now and good luck with everything. This article has been a brief description of how to make money online using article marketing, obviously there are ways to optimize all of this and become a Jimi Hendrix among buskers. Not that I have anything against buskers…there are some good ones out there…but Jimi, he’s really cool!
