Make Money With Article Submission

It is no secret that this method involves a lot of writing so for those of you that hate writing perhaps you should consider skipping this method. This method involves writing an article and using the articles resource box where there is a short description of the author to put your affiliate URL in. Article directories are website devoted to collecting articles. One can simply submit an article to the site and it will be published for you and visitors will be able to see it on search engines. Article submission is usually used for promoting your website but in this case we will use it to promote our affiliate links to try and make some sales.

First of all we need to find some article directories we can submit our articles to and this couldn't be easier. Simply search for "article directory" in Google and you will have an almost endless supply of directories.

For the next step we are going to presume that you are already aware of affiliate marketing, if not simply navigate to our affiliate marketing tutorial and familiarize yourself with the basics. You will need to choose an affiliate product or service to promote if you have not already done so. To choose a product we recommend one that you have enough to say about as you will need to produce articles or at least 1 article of over 500 words on the subject. The good news is that the product or service can be absolutely anything from reviewing a book or computer game to giving advice or tips on hobbies such as fishing or gardening.

If you are having trouble writing your article why not have a browse through some articles on an article directory to get an idea of how an article should look like. Once you have written your article stick your affiliate URL into the author's resource box of your article along with a quick description about you the writer and or about what your link is about, trying to attract individuals to click on it.

The final step is to complete the submission process which varies slightly from directory to directory but is usually as simple as filling out a submission form. That is all there is to it, its not rocket science and quite an easy way to get free traffic to a landing page to promote an affiliate product. For those of you that have a website or a blog having a link to your blog is extra effective as you not only receive traffic from your submitted articles but also backlinks which will in crease your blogs ranking in search engines.

It will take some trial and error to learn what type of articles will give you the highest conversions and will vary from product to product, niche to niche. It will take the average person roughly 1 hour to complete the process which will provide you with a constant stream of traffic for an indefinite period of time. It should also be noted that there is nothing stopping you from submitting the same article to many different article directories but please keep in mind that having the exact same article on many different sites will devalue your article as it is seen as duplicate content which search engines desperately try to avoid. To avoid this advanced user will spin or rewrite the article to make it look different from the original. This will avoid the duplicate content penalties but take longer as you rewrite the article.
