The Two Things You Need To Know About Writing Articles and Monetizing Them
By: B Hopkins

Article writing serves many purposes for website owners and
Internet marketers. It is a powerful way to market your
business, and is also a powerful way to earn income
directly from the article content itself. When you want to
monetize your articles, you will need to understand how to
use your articles to create the greatest benefit from them.

Some of the methods in which you can monetize your articles
include: - Adsense - Promoting your own products and
services - Promoting affiliate products and services -
Long-term revenue - Viral revenue

There are other ways to get income by promoting your
products and services, but the ones listed above are some
of the more common ways you can earn an income through
writing articles.

The first thing you need to know is the purpose in which
you are writing your articles. Are you writing them to
promote a product or service, or are you writing them to
brand yourself as an expert in your field? Each way will
require you to write your articles differently. If you are
writing your articles for adsense, then you will want to
write many informative, how-to articles that contain many
of the keyword phrases used by your target audience. Your
articles should talk about the products and services that
are found on your site. The purpose of the article is to
draw the targeted adsense ads that will be served on your
website.

If you are writing and marketing articles to promote
affiliate products, then your article should get the reader
to go to the affiliate site, and also buy something as
well. If you require a multi-step process to sell the
affiliate product or service, then it would be better to
use the article to send the reader to a lead capture page
to get the reader's email so you can market to them through
an auto responder series. This is where you can put other
articles that you have written and send the reader one
article per week.

The second thing that you need to know when writing
articles and monetizing them is to write the articles in
such a way that they receive a lot of traffic in some form
or another. Your articles won't do much good if no one can
find them, so it is important that they are easily found on
the Internet. Your articles can be found through article
directories, individual websites, other publisher's
newsletters, eBooks among a host of other ways. The more
ways you make use of, the better the chance your article
will get seen by your target market. There are many
sources out there today that contain a list of different
places where you can publish your article. Once you have a
list of places, you want to narrow it down to the top 5 to
10 places to submit your articles. Your criteria should be
based upon how much traffic is going to the website where
you want to publish your articles, and if your target
market is willing to purchase your product or service.
Once you have the answer to these questions, you will be
able to write powerful articles that have a good response
rate.

When you are writing articles to monetize them, it is
crucial that you have a good strategy for writing,
marketing and publishing them. If you don't, you will end
up going through a lot of work over nothing. The next step
is to look for ways of earning a long-term income for your
article writing efforts.
