Make Money Writing Articles Online by Helen
Inburgh
Have you heard that you can make money online? Have you ever wondered how
that works? Have you imagined yourself at home in your pyjamas, tapping
away at your computer knowing every word can make you money? It certainly
can happen, but...
How?
Firstly there are article directories that pay you to write articles
online. These are not pay to join; in fact I would be very suspicious of
any article directory that asked you for a sign up fee.
One of these article directories is AssociatedContent.com which offers a
dollar value for every article written. You must be over 18 to write for
them, and also a US resident. There are other directories that offer a
percentage of the income they get from advertisers.
Perhaps a more lucrative way to make money writing articles is to approach
website owners. If you have expertise in a particular area you can offer
your services to website owners, because there is always demand for well
written articles. This works very well if you have expert knowledge in a
particular area. Contact website owners that are relevant to your area of
expertise and if you can actually show them something you have written,
that is very useful.
However, there is still a way that a person with no area of expertise can
make money writing articles online.
If you have a hobby or an interest in something you can often find
products, particularly information products, on that subject. For instance
you may love dogs. You could write an article about dog training and at
the end of the article you could put a link into the resource box. When
the reader clicks on the link, they go to a page where they can buy an
eBook on dog training. When the reader buys the book you get a percentage,
usually 50% and up to 75% of the value of the book.
Some article directories do not allow direct linking to a sales page. But
if you wrote a page reviewing different dog training products, you could
direct the reader there and the same thing would apply. You receive a
percentage of the final value of the book.
Can you imagine having several successful niches all bringing you home
money? Waking up every morning knowing there is no rush to work – because
now you choose your own hours, working at home!
Can you see yourself striding into your bosses office and handing him an
envelope with your resignation in it – and seeing their shocked face!
Can you imagine confidently telling your friends that you no longer have
to go to work, and that making money at home is covering not only all your
bills but affording you a great lifestyle? Especially the ones that
doubted you – they will have to eat their words now!
