Writing For A Living

By Marroon Tiger

Making money with articles is not as hard as it seems. When you are trying to make money with articles, you don't really need previous career related experience. You can learn everything you need to know from the Internet. You can learn new skills along the way to make your living online.

Submit your articles online. You may submit your articles to leading submission sites. Make sure that they have compelling article summary that can tell your readers the gist of your content, keywords list as the name implies, the keywords that you are targeting on your content, and a compelling author's box or resource box that contain your website's URL.

Article marketing is still one of the most cost-effective methods for generating traffic into a website. However, without the proper strategy for implementation, article marketing will not lead to optimum results.

Boost the number of your inbound links. This is to easily secure and maintain a good page ranking that can give your website the exposure it needs. You can do this in two ways: first, multiply the number of your articles and submission.

Since your resource box is the key to your promotion, then make sure you use the space allotted in the most effective way possible. When linking back to your website, make sure you use relevant anchor text which will help with your search engine rankings. You will also want to craft your words in way that will persuade the reader of the resource box to click the link back to your website.

Focus on the quality of your articles. When increasing the number of your articles, make sure that their quality do not suffer or you will defeat the purpose of article marketing. Remember, online users will only click the URL on your resource box if they find your article useful, easy to understand, informative, and of high quality.

The first step when visiting an article directory is to open an account. You will provide a login, a password and a valid e-mail address. If you get the chance to write an author's biography (bio) or extended bio don't hesitate to do so. It is a great opportunity to include up to three links to your web page.

Your utmost priority is to implement first class quality to your writing and submit only outstanding articles to directories. Your writing can make or break you and you must get it right for a successful promotional campaign. To make sure that your copy is read and republished, it should be rich in valuable content.

Correct spelling and grammar. This is very important since your articles will be submitted to quality publishers that are very strict in terms of spelling and grammar. Although there are article directories or marketers that will check them and inform you, there are those that will not.

Submit the articles to popular directories. This is a good idea. However, at times it results in a creative jeopardy. It gives other online publishing agents the uncalled for rights to publish your work. Many a times it happens that your work is sold as somebody else's work by doing a little modification in your original posted text.

Pick the submission sites where you will post your articles. Choose those ones that have higher page ranking and have steady client based. You do not want to post your articles to submission sites that cannot help you drive traffic to your website, right?

Appropriate article title. This is the first item you should be careful of simply because this will be the teaser of your article. An attractive title will definitely be advantageous over a less attractive one; even they have almost the same idea in content.

On average, the best article submission sites publish your articles much more quickly than smaller sites. After you've taken the time to submit an article, you want to see it published as soon as possible.

Article writing is not hard once you understand the basic structure of writing a good article. The first thing in making article marketing easier is in doing your research then write a synopsis of the research in an informatively interesting way in your own words.

If you want to make the big bucks in article marketing you must start outsourcing as soon as you can afford it. Yep, that is the honest truth. Article marketing is all about publishing hundreds or even thousands of articles to article directories to generate traffic to your website. The more you publish the more traffic will be generated.
