7 Ways To Make Money With Articles
7 Ways To Make Money With Articles
by Melanie Mendelson
http://www.WriteArticles-GetWebsiteTraffic.com
If you write and submit articles on the Internet, you need to make sure you are getting the most money out of each article. Here are the 7 different ways to make money with articles:
1. Promote Your Website
Add your author bio at the end of each article with a short ad for your products or services and a link to your website. People who like your article and click on your link will be more ready to buy from you than a cold prospect.
2. Promote Affiliate Products
You can promote affiliate products in your author bio, and make commissions on all the sales you refer. Just register a domain name (so your link at the end of the article looks professional), and redirect it to your affiliate link.
3. Content Sites With Adsense
Use your articles to build content websites packed with useful information. Content websites are likely to get lots of free traffic from search engines. Place the Google Adsense advertisements on your pages, and get paid for each click.
4. Blogs
Start publishing a blog. Search engines love blogs because they are regularly updated with fresh content. Blogs tend to get a lot of traffic from search engines. Break-up your articles into smaller chunks and turn them into blog entries.
5. Mailing List
Collect your website visitors names and e-mail addresses – ask them to sign up for your newsletter. Regularly e-mail your articles to your newsletter subscribers, along with promotions for your website.
6. Information Products
When you accumulate enough articles, compile them into an e-book. Turn your articles into book chapters. Change a fewthings here and there, and you will have a new information product to sell.
7. Viral E-Books
Instead of selling the e-book that you made from your articles, you can also use a viral marketing approach. Addpromotional copy to your e-book along with links to your website and affiliate links, and give it away. It will spread around the Internet like a virus, advertising your products and services and putting more money in your pocket.

Using Wordpress
Many people are a bit confused about using wordpress for blogging. I know I was. While I found www.blogger.com to be a great way to start blogging (and now www.wordpress.com), I wanted more features and flexibility.
So I stumbled about and learned most of it on my own. However, I recently came across some video tutorials (free!) that were excellent! Take a look and see if they start you on your road to blogging with wordpress.

Blogging
You may be aware that we have an OlderWiserWomen’s Network on Ryze. It’s not necessarily a business forum though the topic does come up. In essence, it’s a forum about living live as an OlderWiserWomen.
The topic of learning to blog came up and I’ve offered to do a BASIC class on blogging to get women started.
We’ll focus on using free, hosted blogging tools such as www.blogger.com and www.wordpress.com.
If you’d like to be notified of when that is taking place, you can subscribe to this feed, subscribe to email notification (see the page that says Get Notified), or sign up for our regular OlderWiserWomen ezine for the announcement.

Welcome to our new home!
A few months ago, we began this blog on blogger at http://www.buzinessrecommendations.blogspot.com
Blogger is a great tool when you are learning to blog, but ‘d really felt the need to move over to wordpress. I plan to do this with all the blogs…this one being small enough that I felt it would be a good one to start with and to make sure I could do it.
Starting with Wordpress was not all that difficult - after I made a change in hosting. I am now hosted with HostGator. Aside from the great rates and support I am getting, this hosting package has something called Fantastico. It allowed me to click a button and have wordpress installed. Then…to upgrade to the new version of wordpress…it was just ONE click. I like simple! If you are looking for a new hosting package, or just a host for wordpress, I’d check them out.
