How To Make Good Money With Article Marketing

By: Michael Rowling

Article Marketing. I’m sure you’ve heard the term, but do you really know what it is and why you should use it? In a nutshell, article marketing is making money off short 300-500 word essays or articles. It is popular because it is very effective and it is free. What do I need to write about you ask? Well, the answer is “almost anything”. Most of the time, the articles are written in the form of a review or guide. To be a money making venture, the article has to promote some product or service that you are involved in. This can be an item or service you sell personally through your website or an item or service you sell for someone else. The “someone else” is called an affiliate. An affiliate is a company that pays you money to sell their goods. The money you make is usually in the form a percentage of total sales you make for the company or sometimes it is a flat rate. There are a lot of affiliate sites out there and probably the best one to start with is clickbank.com. Clickbank represents many hundreds of companies and does a good job helping you to promote their products and services. Because there are a LOT of companies, it is pretty easy to find a company selling something you are familiar with. You should always start with something you are familiar with.

How do the articles actually make me money you ask? The articles end with a link to your website or an affiliate’s website. Finished articles are then submitted to an article distribution website like ezinearticles.com, articledashboard.com or goarticles.com. Once there, articles get readers, some of whom will hopefully become customers. Later, due to the exposure on the sites, your article will start showing up as top results on Google and Yahoo. People will click your links, buy the product or service, and make you money. To get more customers you can write more articles. Some people write many articles for one product, others write just a few. Your mileage will vary. Once you’ve got your first campaign up and going you can pick yourself a new item to promote, write a new article and submit it to a few article sites. Repeat again and again and again. The more articles you write, the more money you will make. Do some article research at ezinearticles.com. You’ll find a ton of articles on article marketing and get a good idea of how a successful article should look.
