Make Money Online Writing Articles

 

Let’s face it, everyone is trying to make money online these days, and why not? The internet is the only place you can start up a business with low to no overhead and still be able to compete with your already well established competition. But a good amount of potential webmasters give up because they don’t succeed as quickly as they had hoped.

 

Some would be webmasters have been trying for years to make money online and they still aren’t succeeding in living up to their goals. One thing many of these internet marketing gurus don’t tell you is that there is literally an ocean of competition out there so you have to stand out from the crowd to get noticed.

 

There are many ways to make money online and none of them are necessarily wrong, but it is of strategic importance to find out what works for you. If you have strong language skills and enjoy writing then you should consider article writing.

 

Writing articles online not only will give you great exposure to a wide and varied audience, if you establish a website then you can gain a significant amount of exposure by placing your links in your article or author box.

 

First, write a well-written article. Make sure you separate your sentences into paragraphs. Use paragraphs to separate ideas and be sure to let one paragraph flow smoothly into the next. Remember to write in one writing style and viewpoint. Try to write at least three sentences per paragraph.

 

Now that you’ve written your first article you need to proofread your article. Most of us have taken writing classes but everyone needs a refresher from time to time. And everyone makes errors. It is at this point that you should put your article into your favorite Rich Text Editor like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, or Corel if you didn’t use a text editor to begin with. The use your text editors spellchecking abilities and correct any errors that you find.

 

The third step can actually be done while you are writing once you are more experienced, but for now it’s probably best to just go back and do it later. Really it is a good idea to do both. You should always revise and edit your articles a minimum of three times. I would recommend that as the minimum standard for any article you publish, including free article submission. If you are planning on selling your article to a publisher such as Associated Content (http://associatedcontent.com) then you should strongly consider revising the article at least 5 times. This will ensure that you are putting out your best quality work. You can sell your article to Associated Content and they will give you $3-50 for articles that are over 400 words in length. They pay via Pay Pal three times a week for your articles on any subject that they accept.

 

Even if your article isn’t accepted by a paying publisher such as Associated Content, you can still submit it to free article directories ad at least get a lot of free exposure for traffic to your website and product landing pages. This will also create a large number of PR increasing back links to your website. You may even create a trickle effect to your sales and click pages that generates you income for many months to come.

 

If you use these steps you will over time create a compelling number of back links to your website and give yourself greater exposure to the masses, but how does that make you money? If you are still unclear about how this will make you money I suggest you continue reading my next article “Money Making Affiliate Programs”.
