How do you make money online writing good articles? There are so many articles out there, how will yours make a difference? In this article we will go over some of the article marketing guidelines and how to promote your work.
This may seem like an overwhelming 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 may be awful. But like all things in life, if you stand your ground, you’ll be amazed at 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 submit it. If you have done your work in writing, you will get the traffic and in return you build a reputation, which can turn into cash from the products you promote.
Below are the basic rules to follow, if you follow them, you will get it right.
1. Title:
Use your keyword phrase in the title, for example ‘7 rules on how to make money online by writing articles’, the keyword phrase is ‘how to earn cash online’
2. Body:
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- When you start your article, please state the reason for the article and why it exists.
b) Paragraph 2 – Talk about the issue and the problem. Again, you can find out from your own research.
c) Next paragraphs: Talk about ways to overcome this problem. The trick to writing articles is to keep it short and direct. A paragraph should be no more than 2 to 3 sentences. However, do not panic if you exceed that amount, it is not a strict rule … the article police will not knock on your door. Bang! … Bang! … Bang! … back in a moment, someone is at the door.
d) Final paragraph: talk about the conclusion, how to solve 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 with 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 must 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 themed affiliate program.”
4. Add your affiliate link:
Sign up with the affiliate program and get your affiliate link to promote on your article. Sometimes you will be asked to provide your link in an article directory resource box.
The resource box has 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 the wording, try to avoid “Doing this” or “Clicking here”. You don’t have to … it’s just something I like to keep in mind.
5. Sending your articles:
When you’ve finished your article and reviewed it, it’s time to send it out to the world and see what happens. Here’s 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) Helium.com
6. Make a cup of tea or coffee:
Try reducing sugar, as it is not good for you, by using honey. Find a comfortable rocking chair, sit back and look 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 a lot of money online from these articles. Finding the right program to promote is also essential to be successful in making money online. Do things wisely and you will reap the rewards.
Anyway, that’s it for now and good luck with everything. This article has been a short overview on 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 a thing against buskers … there are some good ones out there … but Jimi, he really is great!
All the best. Rob Hughes
