Did you know that you can make a very good living by simply writing articles online and it is totally FREE! This is a very effective method for those who may be starting out and do not have the capital to invest in such advertising methods like Pay-Per-Click. I know many Internet Marketers that make over $500 a day from sales generated by their articles and so can you.
Anyone can write articles about anything and submit to Article Directories for free. Article directories are depository sites that collect articles for redistribution by people that need fresh content for their websites, newsletters, blog, etc.
So how can you make money submitting articles? Easy…when you write an article you are provided an Author Box. In this box you can write whatever you want. You want to write something catchy and provide a link to your website or affiliate link. As people read your article they may want more information and will click on your link. If they make a purchase you just made a sale!
Your objective as an Internet Marketer is to write articles about your affiliate product or service submit to article directories and have them picked up by publishers and the search engines. Google absolutely LOVES enzinearticles.com and in many cases you can get your article listed on Google’s first page if you follow what I am about to share with you.
The key to get listed on Google’s first page is to target keyword phrases that have between 500 to 5000 results. What I mean by results is if you do a search at Google in quotes “” and look at the top right corner you will see the total number of results listed for your keyword phrase.
In this example I did a search for “make money online writing articles” and BINGO…only 4,460 results returned. That is what you want to see.
If the results are below 5000 then it should be pretty easy to construct an article to get listed on the first page for that keyword phrase. This is very affective article marketing strategy.
Next you want to use some basic SEO (search engine optimization). Take the keyword phrase you just found and use that as the title of your article. It is imperative to include your phrase in the title.
To write a well SEO article you want to make sure your article is relevant to your title. If your title is about “How to make money using articles” don’t write about ways to make money with affiliate programs.
Make sense?
Now you want to include your keyword phrase throughout your article. A good rule is to include it every 100 words are so. Don’t over do it or Google will think you are spamming and not pick-up your article.
Here are several free tools to help you find hot keywords that get a lot of searches.
There is a much faster and easier way to find low competition keyword phrases. Once you start to make money I highly recommend that you get Keyword Elite…it is not cheap but will pay for itself over and over again.
So now you have found a low competition keyword phrase to write about which will be your title. You know you need to write a relevant article to your title and include your keyword throughout your article so Google picks up on them.
You may be thinking this sounds great…I can do that but how will this make me money?
How You Can Make Money Writing Articles
You make money by placing your affiliate links throughout your articles. So when someone is reading your article and clicks on one of your links to get additional information they will be routed to your affiliate page and hopefully make a purchase.
Every article directory provides an “author box” that becomes a permanent part of your article. In this box is where you will write your marketing slogan with your link. You want to make sure to write something catchy that will entice the reader to click on your link.
Don’t write something like “Please click here to get more information” but rather something like “Drop out college student makes over $5000 monthly writing articles…find out how here”. See how that is more interesting.
Are you starting to see how articles can really produce amazing results?
Your articles will begin to drive traffic to your affiliate sites which will produce sales…I read success stories everyday on the Wealthy Affiliate forums of people who joined two to three months ago and are now making $800 to $4,500 a month just from article marketing! So yes you can make money…it really boils down to how hard you are willing to work?
If you only write two or three articles about your affiliate product you may not get the results you are looking for. My recommendation is to write at a minimum 10 articles about each affiliate product.
I know what you are thinking…I cannot do that I am not a good writer. Don’t worry about that, neither was I and many other Internet Marketers when they started. The more you write the easier it becomes and pumping out three or four a day becomes easy.
Here is the thing, you may write 10 articles and not get one sale but it may be article 11 that produces a flood of traffic and sales. I have written an article posted it and went to sleep only to wake up seeing that I made over $200 in sales in my sleep! That is an amazing feeling. So don’t give up and keep at it and I assure you your efforts will pay off.
If you are a member of Wealthy Affiliate check out the course over “Article Marketing” to get an in-depth explanation how to effectively write articles that convert into sells. Also I highly recommend searching the WA forums for Travis Sago’s “Bum Marketing” post. Travis offers an excellent course on how to get your articles posted on Google’s first page.
