Making Money via Article Marketing

Never forget that the bottom line is always to increase your profits. This is also true in article marketing, and many Internet Marketers earn an astounding amount of money simply by writing articles.

Articles can drive customers to your website, where a sale can be made. They can be used to build confidence and trust, and to establish yourself as an expert, which in turn increases sales. They can be compiled into a file and sold as private label rights articles. They can be compiled into digital products and sold. 

But there is one more way to profit from your articles. You obviously want to advertise your website, within your authors resource box, but what can you do within the article itself to monitize from it?

Remember that the object is to make money. Does it really matter whether that money comes from a sale of your product or a sale of someone elses product, as long as it ends up in your pocket? Not really! 

Use your competition to earn money. Sign up for their affiliate programs, and promote them within the text of your articles. Sign up for programs that are directly related to the content of your article, even if they are not in direct competition with you. Dont be afraid of the competition  use them to your advantage!

When including affiliate links, make them attractive. You will discover that obvious affiliate links are usually ignored. If this means that you must direct the reader to a specific page of your website, and then have them click through to the affiliate products sales page, then do so. You can also use software that cloaks and/or shortens affiliate links as well.

The important thing here is to not allow your article to become an ad or a sales letter. Make sure it is informative, then recommend an affiliate product that fits in with the topic of the article.  You may be pleasantly surprised at how much your overall profits increase, and how quickly that happens.
