    A few people have told me you can make a good $30 a day writing articles and submitting them to places like EzineArticles.com and such. I just want some to elaborate on this, please?

    Thanks.

    Havn't really tried it myself, but here is what I understand of it: pick an affiliate product with clickbank or commision junction, write articles in a topic related to that product and submit them to article directories. Have the links in your resource box point to the affiliate product (not allowed by EZinesArticles) or your own domain which is redirected to the product or has a page directing the reader to the product and trying to get there email for email marketing. I am about to explore articles more for SEO, I'm sure there are alot of people here who can give you some more tried and tested advice, but this is what I understand of it.

    I think Relient is talking about two scenario. The first one is what WebAttend is talking about. But as far as I know, many article directories do not allow affiliate links, esp the good ones.

    And the second scenario is that you write original articles for others and help also to submit them. You can usually charge $8-$12 for writing an article of 500 words and three of such article can earn you $30.

    Why make a one-time small amount for a article when you could have your "own" unique content on a website and generate revenue daily? Your sell off your product you could be selling.

    I was invited by a blog editor to write for them. They are going to pay me $5 to $10 per article, and I have to write about 2 each week. In return they are going to link my blog to their blog (PR6). But the problem is if I write for them, my own blog will suffer.

    Do you think I should take the offer?

    This is what I think is the best way to go, and you can always write extra articles for EzineArticles to bring some traffic and backlinks to those sites as well. Best of both worlds. :D
