Making Money Online With Article Marketing

As with most things on the ‘net, there are free and fee-based options. We’re going to suggest you start your article marketing methods out the free way, but you can always implement some options where you pay a nominal fee to showcase your articles and drive traffic back to your site.

What Is Article Marketing?

Article marketing is when you write (or outsource the writing of) an article and distribute it around the ‘net. Your ultimate goal is to drive traffic through your article to your websites, or to other people’s sites where you’re an affiliate earning commission. When you’re using article marketing as your method of traffic generation, the idea is to let the content be viral. You ideally want as much coverage as possible with the articles you distribute.Instead of allowing one publisher to broadcast your content, you want dozens or hundreds of people to pick it up and expose it to their audience. Using an ezine directory submission service such as Article Marketer, We Submit Articles or Easy Push Button Traffic. The alternative is to use your own article submission software like Article Submitter from Brad Callen. Publishers like to use other people’s articles even if it means giving them links to the author’s site because they’re in desperate need of content. You get traffic either from links within the body of the article, if it’s allowed, or through the Bio box, which is also known as the “About the Author” space, usually positioned at the very bottom of the article. The bio box can contain a quick fact about you, such as “Published author of five books on…” But you’ll also want to include a sentence like, “To find out more, visit Hal Major site at www.imjustsayingblog.com .

How Are Articles Used By Publishers?

Publishers have various needs for articles being marketed on the ‘net. Some own AdSense websites, where they fill hundreds, or even thousands, of pages with text to lure in readers. The text is surrounded by AdSense ads and whenever a reader clicks on them, the publisher makes money. When they can put free content on their site and reap the rewards of AdSense profits, then their only overhead is the hosting of
the domain each month, which is a negligible cost at best.

Others have a newsletter where they’ve promised information to be distributed about a certain topic each month to their subscribers. If they’re busy with other areas of their business, they like to stop in and
pick up free content from article marketing sites and ease the pressure of having to write unique content.

The next post will be about writing the articles yourself or outsourcing the task.
