Writing Articles To Make Money

    Did I spell "writing" wright?

    Because I received a few e-mails on this, and to also contribute to this pretty green board, again, I'd like to share with you a few tips that will make you some money.

    Notice the word, "some."

    I doubt if that many will read this thread, because my name usually attaches to looooong articles, and for those of you who are here and you don't like to read and are lazy, back out of this thread now. :)~

    1. Forget "duplicate content." Submit your same articles to as many sites as you can.

    Yes, Google will not index many of the duplicate articles, but they can't catch them all. I have seen, more than once, the same articles showing up on page one and two.

    But when I say to submit your same articles to as many sites as you can, I mean that you will have many, MANY more hits than you would if, you are listed on page one or two of a search.

    And, besides, we are talking about luck here in getting on page one and two. Everybody and their cousin is doing it too, and they know a lot more about SEO than you do. And since everyone can't fit on page one and two, the odds are against you. Not even all of those so-called "SEO experts" can fit on page one and two.

    Let's use SOME common sense here.

    Last year I was lucky enough to land on page one for several terms. I got, maybe, fifty hits a day. And my "description" was top notch.

    Jesus, boys and girls, you can get MANY times that from one site! AND, you have more control on how you can sell them at the end of your articles.

    I am no longer listed because I didn't update the articles.

    That's another thing...such content is knocked out by newer articles out there. You wil be a slave to having to always update allllllll of those articles. Fuck that noise.

    "Duplicate content penalty"? Please.

    2. Before sending out your articles, FIRST get people to critique them!

    Your friends, readers, message board members, coworkers, the Webmasters themselves....

    It amazes me that they don't do that, and then they say stuff like, "I don't get that many going to my site."

    Also, get critiques on your site. The articles won't do you any good if your site sucks.

    3. With so few GOOD directories out there, does one really need a software for submitting articles???

    What are there, maybe, 6 good directories out there?

    Or am I missing something here?

    4. Submit your articles to content sites, like Askmen, Yahoo, MSN, and, a lot of the smaller sites out there.

    You know, folks, directories aren't the only game in town.

    Get a list of good content sites to submit to, and those numbers add up!


    10 sites, that have 100,00 monthly visitors and 1% of them reading your articles equates to a lot of readers!

    Stop thinking on the same track! Think outside the box!


    5. Many say that there there isn't any real money in article writing, and that too much effort and time is put into writing countless articles. There are plenty of better ways to make better use of one's time.

    I partly agree. "Real" money comes from word of mouth and advertising, with articles bringing in some money.

    But that is not to say to NOT do it. Hell no! It's all in how you do it where you put in as little time as possible while bringing in enough money to pay your utility bills, and to fill your gas tank up once a week.

    @#*&% oil companies!!


    If you have been submitting a lot of articles, you now have your very own library. Use those very same articles to submit them to other sites. Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat....

    The time consuming part is FIRST writing up those articles, and then looking for good content sites to submit to.

    But once you have, say, six months of articles, around 50-100 articles, as an example, and you have found the sites you can stick with that is giving you a decent amount of traffic that is buying your product, you're in.

    And you are going to write more articles as you go along, right? So that's more added to your library, that you can submit to future sites.

    Just copy and paste!

    If you have a list of sites that you are continously submitting your articles to, and you are fast appproaching the last article in your library, and you don't want to write anymore, simply recycle the very first one you submitted, and start the list all over again. Very very few of that site's readers will read all of your articles, and of the ones who have, I'm sure they wil not mind reading it again.

    Go through your library all over again.

    Repeat with the next site. Repeat with the next site. Repeat...

    THIS is why it is not time consuming once you get going.

    There is more to this, but you have enough to get you going. Well, for the ones who aren't afraid of work, that is.

    I have given up on writing articles. Reason? Nobody is willing to pay! As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for."

    Good post Perry. I'm presuming that Article Submission is one of the top ways you market?

    I got an e-mail with a question about recycling articles.

    I didn't make it quite clear in my first post. Sorry.

    I am talking about subitting your articles to content sites, like online magazines, and whatnot on a weekly basis.

    Say, for example, today you submit your very first article to a site, like, say, Slate.com, or a smaller site. Submit one or two articles on a weekly basis until you run out of QUALITY articles.

    Let's say it is six months down the road. Once that happens, pull out your very first article from your library to submit it again. Start the proccess all over again.

    Like watching a rerun on TV, they will be reading a rerun of your articles.

    I have found that very few mind this as they like to read, GOOD, articles again.

    Then you have newcomers coming to the site. Very few will read all of the old articles.

    Do you?

    There you go.

    You will be bringing up old articles to them, which in reality is new to them.

    If in doubt, change it up a little bit. 5 minutes is all it will take you.

    As time goes by, you will, of course, have more articles written up, to add to your already existing library.

    So with the next site(s) you start writing for, you may very well have a year's worth of articles.

    As you can see, this saves a lot of time when trying to come up wth new, QUALITY, articles.

    Resubmit all of your articles (recycle) all over again to buy you more time so you can write more.

    It takes time to write quality articles that not only people want to read, but Webmasters will accept!

    Once you have an impressive library of articles, you will no longer have to write as much as before. That's it! You are done!

    Now it's just a matter of finding content sites you can submit them to. And then submit to the next site, and then the next site, and then the next....

    And, with each site, recycle them all over again!

    Before you know it, you will literally have thousands of repeat readers, with very little work and time involved!

    But remember, if you can't get any sales from, say, 200 visitors, or whatever, stop submitting. Why give Webmasters free articles if you can't get any of their visitors to buy?

    You could ask the Webmasters if they would like to pay you X amount of dollars for each submission, but don't hold your breath. There is too much free shit out there.

    Thanks for the detailed explanation Perry. We certainly can reuse our articles if we work smartly without smelling spam. The problem is there are blackhatters who does all this thing so aggressively that a normal user can also see the spamming.

    Good info. I had someone write an article. I was thinking about just submitting the same one to different article sites.

    No problem.

    But actually get to work. Don't just say thanks, and then do nothing about it.

    Good luck.
