Make money with articles

Today I feel like ranting about article marketing again, so here we go. It is a great feeling to build your own site or blog and start making money from it. I can’t think of a more rewarding project to do. Making money online doesn’t have to be a complete nightmare for the newbie; there are some simple steps that can help you boost your way into the search engines. Here I’ll talk about ways to make money if you have a site, and find it difficult to get it seen.

Ok, let’s say you have finished building your site or blog, now what? There are many thousands of people that get this far, and then get stuck on the traffic methods. Affiliate marketing can be tough if you have no clue on how to get people viewing your new site, most just give up in the end. Here are some simple methods I use to get traffic to my sites to make money online.

Using articles to get visitors, or traffic as it’s called is still the top method in my opinion. Yes, it takes a bit of work, but it’s worth it. First off, write an article around your topic of choice, don’t forget to add your keywords into the article as well as the title. Once you have completed your article, you will need to submit it to article directories. You can find these online quite easily, but here are two that I use a lot. The first is Articlesbase.com and the second is Goarticles.com.

Submit your article adding a couple links that point back to your site in the body of your article, this is how people will find your site, and this is how you can make money online. Remember to use a title that is not too competitive, Say for example. “Online money making”, this is too competitive to use, and your article will never show up in the search engines. I would use something like, “how to start making money online”. Something that is a long tail keyword. You get the idea.

The idea here is, to get your articles to rank well before your site does, and this is the fastest method to get traffic to your new site, and it is quite easy to do. People will read your article and click through to your site using the links you put in. Not only will that, by submitting your article to the article directories, people use your article on their own sites with your links in them. This is giving you backlinks for free! Though the main aim is to get the article ranked in the search engines. So, pick a good long tail title! This is important.

Once done, repeat many times over, the more articles you submit with your links in them, the more backlinks you will receive. If you have picked low competition titles, you should see your articles appear in the search results pretty fast. You can start making money online fairly easy this way, just using your articles. When your site or blog has enough backlinks, it will show up in the results also. Do you understand that at all? I hope so.

I have submitted articles and had them rank on first page within the hour! This is easily achievable if you choose your article titles carefully. Spend some time researching keywords online, you want low competition with good search volume. There are thousands of keywords out there that have a high search volume with low competition. Just search under “keyword search volume” and use the free tools to provide to do this.

That’s basically it folks. I did say a couple methods I use, but that will be on another post I will write soon. If you stick to it, you can start making money online from the beginning, instead of waiting for your site to rank alone; this can take a very long time. Getting your article to rank is much easier.
