Writing to Make Money

October 19, 2008 · Filed Under Article Marketing Strategy 

You can make your first $1000 online and much more by writing articles just like I did. Writing to make money is easy if you know a few secrets. This article briefly outlines the process so you can get started today. The best part is there is no experience necessary to begin. You don’t need a degree in journalism and you don’t even need to know how to make a website to get started.

There are several methods of writing to make money. You could start a writing service by which other people would pay you to write articles for them. The going rate for a one page, 500 word article is approximately $8.00 to $15.00. Many people will be interested in buying articles in packages of 10, 25 or more.

Web site owners are starved for content. It helps their rankings in the search engines and that provides them with more traffic. You could find plenty of work by offering your writing service on forums. Another way to find clients would be to join freelance sites such as eLance.com or Guru.com for example.

Although the above method is a sure fire way to make money with your writing, there are even more profitable ways. You see, when you write an article and sell it you get paid once and that’s it. I like writing articles to promote affiliate products. This way you can get paid over and over again from each article that you write. To do this you would need to do some product research to determine the types of products people are already buying.

Next you would do keyword research to find out which keywords prospective buyers are typing in to the search engines. You would then write an article based on those keywords and submit that article to various article directories. These directories make your articles available to website owners, newsletter publishers and others who would use them as content. This, in turn, would drive traffic to your website or affiliate offers from a link within your article.

You will want to make sure that your articles are interesting and informative. This will make website and ezine owners more likely to publish them. Getting your articles published on high volume websites or by someone with a huge mailing list can drive hordes of traffic to your website or affiliate offer. It may sound a little complicated, but it is really simple after you do it once.  Of course, it’s even easier if you have a plan to follow.

I’ve been using this method of writing to make money since 2005. It has helped me develop my basic Internet marketing skills and become a full-time internet marketer. So many people try to get into Internet marketing without learning the basics of writing and marketing first. Starting with article marketing is one of the best ways to learn and it’s free except for your time.
