Make Money with Article Marketing

I have to say that by far the technique that has made me the most money online and got me the most traffic is article marketing. I use articles for my adsense sites, my amazon sites, in fact pretty much every site out there that I own.

I use articles for both direct traffic and for SEO purposes.

I put them on article directories such as ezinearticles.com and web 2.0 sites like hubpages, squidoo, infobarrel and xomba (the last two I’ve only started using).

Last month (May) I made the most money I’ve made in a month for at least a year (and probably longer but I only started tracking my income properly in a spreadsheet about a year ago so can’t remember what I earned before that).

The majority of my income was from my Amazon sites which I used articles to get ranked for certain keywords.

My point is that if you are into SEO or just want to get some direct traffic then you need to be writing articles.

I know, I know, many people say they hate writing – luckily I’m one of those people that actually does like writing but don’t ask me to write anything for you because I don’t have the time.

But you can outsource your articles if you’ve got the cash. I’ve had pretty decent results with humanrewriter.com which you give them an article and they’ll rewrite it for you. An average 350 word article should cost you around $3-$4.

New customers get $5 free credit (which will get you around one article) to test out the service first if you like. Then you just buy credits from your PayPal account and order as many articles as you like. There is usually a few days turnaround (although some days I’ve got articles back as quick as 24 hours) which you get to accept or reject.

It’s not a bad resource if you hate writing, but I still think you should be writing your own articles as well.

If you are new to writing or need some help with structure and layout, then I recommend learning about it.

There are some really good threads on the warriorforum that you can read about (do a search for Tim Gorman who I think is the best article marketer on there).

Or you can get a good ebook that will teach you the techniques in one hit.  I bought I good one from Dean Shainin once.

To help you out I thought I’d review a few article marketing ebooks/courses that are currently out at the moment over the next few weeks.

The first one I plan on reviewing is John Thornhill’s new ebook Auto Article Profits because it’s only $10.  I’m hoping it’s a good resource and not just some rehashed PLR – I’ll let you know soon.

Until then, take care.
