The purpose of this article is to help you learn exactly how to make money online using article marketing for free. There are many reasons why one would choose this method of marketing and I’ll cover a few of the main reasons here in this article. To sum things up in a nutshell you need traffic. Lot’s of traffic to be correct but it has to be targeted. You can’t write about dog food if your trying to sell computers. You have to target your audience in your articles to content in your article that relates to computers. In any case one of the best and fastest ways to get traffic is by article marketing. This is also known as Bum marketing. Here’s how the process works in a nutshell:
Traffic -> Affiliate Link (I’ll explain later)
You need to get people to your offer that you’re promoting. Period. That’s really all it’s about. Writing articles to get traffic to your offer, product, or service. The concept is not that difficult to understand but, there is a little more to it than that. Keep reading to find out.
Step One - Choosing an Affiliate Network
The first step to making money with article marketing is to choose an affiliate network like clickbank.com, paydotcom.com, or what ever you like. Basically you get paid for promoting someone else’s product. When you find a product that you want to promote, you get what’s called an affiliate link for that product. For Clickbank they call this a hoplink (that’s what I use, but whatever you like). Now once someone buys a product through your on your affiliate link you get paid a percentage of the sale. Simple enough?
In any case you promote these hoplinks in your article that you can submit to different article directories if they allow affiliate links (more on that later). Or you can promote them on your website. If you don’t have a website you can also use a free Hub (Hubpages.com), Lens Squidoo.com, or Blog Blogger.com as well to put your affiliate links in. They’re really easy to use and they’re free. Blogger.com is probably one of the easiest to use when first starting out..
Step Two – Promoting your Affiliate links
Basically the whole concept of article marketing is to get traffic from the article directories to your affiliate links. Thousands of people read these article directories. Sometimes if your article is well written, it may show up in the search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN or BING (this actually happens more often than you might think).
But for now the best bet is to try and concentrate on writing the articles for the article directories and if it shoes up in the search engines then that’s just a bonus. Anyways you want to start out by just concentrating on making what you write in your articles for the directory readers first. Make sure that the content in your articles are high in quality and not boring and at least 250 – 500 words an article. The best place to submit your articles to is ezinearticles.com. That’s where you should start for now. But there are other directories that you can use as well like goarticles.com, articlesbase.com, hubpages.com, etc.. If I had to choose another directory I would choose hubpages.com (not really an article directory but similar) as a second place to submit to along with articlesbase.com third.
Step 3 – Putting Your Affiliate In Your Articles
The next step is to place your affiliate link in your article. At the end of the article you write a small related ad about the product or service you are offering in something that’s called a resource box. Something like if you like this article then go to http://youraffiliatelink.com to learn more, or something like that. Some article directories like ezinearticles.com, will not allow this. This is a small problem when you first start out. But there is a way to get around this.
So you have 3 options:
1. You can do a 301 redirect with godaddy.com. It’s easier then it sounds. Just buy a domain name similar to your product like youraffiliateproduct.com. Dot .com’s and .info’s and .orgs are good to start. You can search for discount codes for the domain names online by the way. :) After you’ve bought your domain name log out of the system for a minute or two and then log back in. It takes a minute or two to update. Once you log back in go to Clickbank (in another window) to get your affiliate link (aka hoplink) of your product. Copy the hoplink.
Then go back to godaddy.com and go to the “manage domains” section. Look for the forwarding option and choose it. Then you will see a pop up box that asks for you to enter the information for the forwarding URL. Paste your hoplink URL or Affiliate link in the appropriate field and submit it. Now your URL youraffiliateproduct.com will automatically redirect your affiliate link product page! Test it out. Go ahead and past the domain name you purchased in your address bar (in another window). So all that you’ll need to do next is to place youraffiliatelink.com in your resource box of your affiliate link. Hope this makes sense. Don’t worry about masking for now, but if you wanted to learn how to do that it’s easy. Just look it up.
2. You can find another article directory that does allow affiliate links like Goarticles.com. Write another article with Goarticles.com (note: articlesbase.com might also allow affiliate links as well but not 100% on that) that is similar reviewing the main details of your product or service that you’re offering and include your affiliate link within it. Then put your goarticles.com article link in your resource box at ezinearticles.com.
3. You can use Squidoo.com, Hubpages.com, or Blogger.com as landing web pages to create a web page in which you can include your affiliate link. Blogger.com is the easiest of the 3 (Squidoo.com, Hubpages.com, and Blogger.com) to use in my opinion.
When putting your link in your article you can choose to include the “http://” like this http://youraffiliatelink.com or you can choose to link it in anchor text like this. This will make a clickable link like this “Your Affiliate Program” . This is important once you’ve started to learn about SEO (Search Engine Optimization). In short SEO is how you can help to get your site on the top pages of the search engines. But I’ll have to cover that in another post.
Step Four - Choosing Your Niche - Market Research
It’s best to choose a niche in an area that your familiar with. Clickbank has over 10,000 products for you to choose to promote. It has everything from weight loss to Forex Trading software, so it’s pretty easy to find something that you are familiar with to promote. Once you have a product it’s on to doing your market research. First you want to see how many people are searching for a particular term (or your demand for the product or keywords) You can do that here:
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
This gives you an idea of how many people are searching for whatever you are trying to promote or whatever keywords you think they might be using to find your product or solution to there needs.
If there’s reasonable demand 1000 or more searches a month then it might be something worth pursuing. In most cases it’s better to go for long tail keywords (longer search phrases). For example instead of using “extra cash” you might want to target “how to earn extra cash online”, which would be considered a long tail. It’s been proved by many marketers to be more profitable.
It’s easier to start in a niche that you are familiar with because you will be able to have a better understanding of what you are writing about. In other words you won’t look like a complete idiot if you know what your talking about. Believe it or not people can tell if you know what your niche is about. In any case back to what I was saying. Think of what words people might use to find your product. What problem does it solve? Ask yourself what you’d type in if you were searching for that particular solution that your product is giving.
If you need more keywords then use the adwords tool I mentioned above. Start with a smaller keywords and it will give you a list of tons of keywords that you can use to start promoting. If you need ideas of what to write about or if you are having a hard time writing then you can go to ezinearticles.com and search for similar articles for ideas or rewrite those articles in your own words. It’s very important that you do not copy!
When writing your article you also want to include your keywords in your title, the first paragraph and if possible in the last sentence of your article. Additionally you want to include words that are similar to your key words or phrases that you’ve chose to write about. This will help the search engines (Google, Yahoo, and MSN or Bing) find your article.
Next you want to find out the number of competing sites that have optimized for that particular term as well. If there’s too much competition your article will have less of a chance of competing. Generally around 5,000 to 200,000 competing sites for a keyword is ok to consider competing against. Too much and you won’t get found. To do this you can go to Google and type in your search in quotes. For example if I were to check to see how many competing sites there is for the term – ways to earn extra cash online – I would type in the Google search box “ways to earn extra cash online” to give me the amount of competing sites.
Now I covered Market research last but in general many marketers would do this first to see if the product is even worth promoting. For example if there isn’t that many searches for a keyword, or if there’s too much competition (if the supply /demand ratio isn’t there) then some may not waste there time with a certain keyword or product for that matter.
Additionally you want to see if the product that your considering is selling. Now you can get a general idea of if a product is selling by looking at the gravity of the product. The higher the gravity the better. That’s (the gravity) listed on beneath the product your considering promoting with clickbank. Some clickbank products have a gravity of 300. Others have had a gravity score of less than 1. You have to use your own judgment, but generally speaking the higher the gravity the better.
Another way to research what’s hot is by going to Google for the key word that you think might sell and seeing if there are any paid or sponsored link results. The paid results are the advertisers that are showing up on the right hand side next to the organic results. If there aren’t any ads there it may not be an niche you would want to consider. Additionally if there were ads there it’s a good Idea to check and see how long those ads have been there. Ads that have been showing for the same keyword for a few weeks (or even better a few months) are a good indication that the advertiser is making money with that particular keyword. If you have time to sit there and track the ads that show up for the next few weeks or months then that’s one of the best ways to make sure that you can make some sales with those keywords. It might be worth doing if you have the patience. After all you don’t want to do all this work for nothing right?
If you need help with keyword research there’s a tool that can also help you to track these sponsored ads. It’s called Keyword Elite 2.0. Imagine that what you could do if you were able to see exactly what keywords these sponsored ads were using to make there money, what ads they were using, how long they were promoting using those particular keywords, what products they were promoting, and other keywords that they were using to make money as well for the last six months. It’s almost like printing money.
Now it’s not a required to use Keyword Elite 2.0, you can do some of what it does manually (like what I’ve mentioned in this article), and you can make some sales. But if you're serious about making some real money then it’s worth it’s weight in gold. It’s literally the only product you will ever need to make money online. Period. If your interested in learning how you can get 5 Additional Bonuses you can go to my Adwords Strategies Blog here.
In any event, back to keyword research. In a nutshell it comes down to a few key elements, which are competing sites (or supply),the volume of searches for your keyword(s), Ratio between competing sites vs. Volume of searches (also known as KEI or KEYWORD EFFECTIVENESS INDEX), Advertising Competition cost,keyword relevance, price Point (Price of your product) and sometimes the human touch(how likely you feel the keyword will perform). And for the most part that's pretty much it. Hope this helps someone make some money.

Earn Extra Money Completing Survey Offers
I've been blogging about making extra cash on the internet here for a while now and what I've realized is that not every one is interested in what I'm interested in. While I was checking my stats I found that a lot of people were interested in a way to earn money from the internet at home with having to do anything Internet marketing related.
More specifically, I found quite a few people looking to make money with online surveys . I'm not a big fan of surveys myself but I now realize that everyone is not as interested in blogging or internet marketing as I am. In any event for those that are looking for an easy way to earn extra money from home completing surveys and offers may be exactly what your looking for.
What Are Online Surveys
There are thousands of companies out there that need to do research for the products and services they provide. Basically your job is to honestly and accurately complete the survey that a particular company is offering in order to get paid. These companies use this valuable information in order to better service there existing client's and also to find out what type of products or services potential new clients may be interest in.
Why They Pay You
For these big companies, the information that they receive from these surveys is invaluable. It's the best way for them to get directly into the heads of their consumers. In there eyes the money that they are paying you to complete their forms is a small price to pay in comparison to the amount of money they are going to make with the data they obtain from you.
If your interested in making some extra cash on the side then surveys might be right for you. It's not my cup of tea personally. Yes it may be boring, but it pays. If you want to make some quick cash from home, then completing surveys might be right for you.
After doing a little research I found a company that seems legit. At the time of this writing there offering a 3 day for $4.95. So you can try it for three days and see if you like it. Anyway if your interested here's the link: Complete Online Surveys Here .

How to Earn Extra Cash Online Part 2
"How to earn earn extra cash online" is becoming a more and more popular search term nowadays with the current state of the economy. If you want to know the answer to the question of how to earn extra cash online then all you have to do is take a few minute the read this blog.
Ways to earn extra cash online
There are many ways to earn extra cash on the Internet. You've probably seen a lot of MLM everywhere as well as other get rich quick schemes and so forth by now. Well the truth is alot of these advertisements that you see all over the web work, however almost 75% of the stuff that you see on the net is not worth your time in my opinion.
It's all about leverage. If you were to purchase almost everything you saw out there online (like I did) and actually use the stuff in these ebooks/programs then you probably would be able to make some extra cash on the side, but it's going to cost you time and money. I'm going to save your time by going over a few things that work the best in my opinion. You just have to know how to sort out the nonsense from the stuff that works.
When ebay first came out a while back that was one of the easiest ways for people to make some extra cash. However since then things have got saturated to say the least and what's happening now is that you are seeing a growing trend in the amount of people who are getting started in internet marketing, more specifically affiliate programs.
How to Make Money With Affiliate Programs
Affiliate programs are where you are able to get paid by promoting someone's products. When someone purchase an ebook for example through and affiliate link you get paid a percentage of that sale. Clickbank is often regarded to as one of the best retailers for digital products on the internet.
They handle all the transactions, so you don't have to deal with any customers, returns, or shipping and handling. How good does that sound? But wait it gets better, it's absolutely FREE to Join! But there is a catch. You actually have to sell the products and this is where the internet marketing comes in.
The beauty of this is that there are over 10,000 different products from just this one retailer alone and there are many other "clickbanks" out there with there own affiliate programs as well.
But back to what I was saying about internet marketing. You have to know what your doing in order to sell online. Just a quick tip before I go; You have to find targeted traffic in order to make sales on the internet. Highly targeted. It's about 3:29 am eastern time, and I just got off of my second job so I'm going to call it a night for now.
Oh yeah, I was going to tell you how to get highly targeted traffic, but I'm too tired so for now if you want learn more about how to get traffic just checkout my forum marketing post here or my article marketing post here.
And if you're interested in a few internet marketing ebooks I recommend you can read my last post here.
That's it for now. I hope you stay tuned for my next post and that I've answered the question of how to earn extra cash online.

How to Earn Extra Cash on the Internet
If you’ve found this blog through my article “How to earn extra cash online” or through a forum, then you’ve just seen one of the many marketing techniques I’ve learned from the Internet Wealth Systems and Honest Riches 3 (two of the best ebooks I’ve ever read).
Now before you read this post, I will mention that at the end I will tell you more about these why you should read these books and exactly why I like them so much, but for now I want to tell you how to earn extra cash online.
By the way, if you don’t have any money then just read this blog completely for now, but eventually you are going to want to invest in your education. If you’re serious about making money online then you will have to invest in learning how to get started - either in time or money.
Interent Marketing Magic
Internet Marketing simplified, is all about finding a product, finding an audience (target market aka niche) for that product, and finding a way to contact that audience through internet marketing. There are different ways to sell these products and that’s where the marketing skills set in.
Online marketing is a business. You have to treat it like one. It doesn’t matter what you are selling or promoting. You must work every day to accomplish your goals. If you are looking for a cut and dry system unfortunately there is none.
There isn’t any program that you are going to buy or join that’s going to allow you to magically make money online instantly (at least none that are worth your time).
You will have to find out what works and how to make money on your own through research. The good news is, for those that aren’t afraid to work, you’ll make some money.
Alright, now as I said before I’m going to tell you about two ebooks that I use because they will help you to make money, but before I do a quick note about ebooks.
You will constantly see a lot of products on the market right now that promise to make you money. I’ll let you in on a little secret. Over half of them are practically worthless!
I’ve purchased many ebooks and some of them can help, but most of them only cover one area of internet marketing like PPC (pay per click) with adwords and sell you on the dream of making money online, retirement, wealth, riches, the big house and car etc..
You have to know how to sort out the nonsense from what can actually help you. With that being said, let’s continue.
Internet Wealth Systems
As I’d mentioned before there’s a lot of information on this blog that can help you make money online for free. But if your serious about getting started then I’d suggest you check out Internet Wealth Systems and Honest Riches.
“As a beginner to internet marketing you need a plan, a blueprint, a SYSTEM.” -- Ewen Chia Author of Internet Wealth Systems
Internet Wealth Systems is exactly what the title says it is - it’s a SYSTEM. It is a 99 page Marketing System that covers all the basics of Internet marketing in the form of an outline. Personally Honest Riches 2 was my favorite, however I don’t know if I could say that if I’d read Internet Wealth Systems first! What I liked the most about Internet Wealth is the 7 Day Marketing System that Ewa has outlined. He lays out step by step exactly what you need to do and when to do it.
It’s very detailed and before you get it, just a word of advice. Read through the whole book twice (or three times if you have to). The reason I say this is because you learn by repetition. The information you learn will get you all hyped up and you are going to be ready to get start and jump right it. Make sure you read through it at least twice before taking action.
Both Honest Riches 3 and Internet Wealth Systems are similar in comparison. I actually bought Honest Riches 2 and got Honest Riches 3 for free through a promotion that was offered at the time. However it doesn’t have a step by step system like Internet Wealth does. It’s basically a remake of Honest Riches 2 with updates and a few new chapters. Honest Riches 2 was 99 pages and Honest Riches 3 is 277.
On the other hand it does have an entire chapter or book (Honest Riches 3 is in the form of 10 different ebooks) to devoted to the basics of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) which isn’t really covered much in Internet Wealth, as well as a chapter for wordpress (a blogging platform like blogger.com), and a chapter for creating your own ebook.
Now if you’re a beginner and know nothing about internet marketing then I’d suggest you check out Internet Wealth Systems because of the easy to follow 7 day marketing system Ewa refers to as the “Seven Day Marketing Bombing Run.” However if your able to put things together on your own, and want a little more information the Honest Riches 3 is also another option.

Now before you read this post, I will mention that at the end I will tell you more about these why you should read these books and exactly why I like them so much, but for now I want to tell you how to earn extra cash online.
By the way, if you don’t have any money then just read this blog completely for now, but eventually you are going to want to invest in your education. If you’re serious about making money online then you will have to invest in learning how to get started - either in time or money.

I’ve purchased many ebooks and some of them can help, but most of them only cover one area of internet marketing like PPC (pay per click) with adwords and sell you on the dream of making money online, retirement, wealth, riches, the big house and car etc..
You have to know how to sort out the nonsense from what can actually help you. With that being said, let’s continue.
Internet Wealth Systems
As I’d mentioned before there’s a lot of information on this blog that can help you make money online for free. But if your serious about getting started then I’d suggest you check out Internet Wealth Systems and Honest Riches.
“As a beginner to internet marketing you need a plan, a blueprint, a SYSTEM.” -- Ewen Chia Author of Internet Wealth Systems
Internet Wealth Systems is exactly what the title says it is - it’s a SYSTEM. It is a 99 page Marketing System that covers all the basics of Internet marketing in the form of an outline. Personally Honest Riches 2 was my favorite, however I don’t know if I could say that if I’d read Internet Wealth Systems first! What I liked the most about Internet Wealth is the 7 Day Marketing System that Ewa has outlined. He lays out step by step exactly what you need to do and when to do it.
It’s very detailed and before you get it, just a word of advice. Read through the whole book twice (or three times if you have to). The reason I say this is because you learn by repetition. The information you learn will get you all hyped up and you are going to be ready to get start and jump right it. Make sure you read through it at least twice before taking action.
Both Honest Riches 3 and Internet Wealth Systems are similar in comparison. I actually bought Honest Riches 2 and got Honest Riches 3 for free through a promotion that was offered at the time. However it doesn’t have a step by step system like Internet Wealth does. It’s basically a remake of Honest Riches 2 with updates and a few new chapters. Honest Riches 2 was 99 pages and Honest Riches 3 is 277.
On the other hand it does have an entire chapter or book (Honest Riches 3 is in the form of 10 different ebooks) to devoted to the basics of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) which isn’t really covered much in Internet Wealth, as well as a chapter for wordpress (a blogging platform like blogger.com), and a chapter for creating your own ebook.
Now if you’re a beginner and know nothing about internet marketing then I’d suggest you check out Internet Wealth Systems because of the easy to follow 7 day marketing system Ewa refers to as the “Seven Day Marketing Bombing Run.” However if your able to put things together on your own, and want a little more information the Honest Riches 3 is also another option.

An Honest Way to Earn Extra Cash
If you found this blog through the article “ways to earn extra cash” that was just one of the marketing techniques uses from an e-book that I bought called Honest Riches 2 . It’s written by Holly Mann and it’s just one of the many ways she uses to earn extra income online. In fact, she actually used that method along with many others combined in her book that earned her enough passive income to earn over 10,000 a month.
There is nothing really clever about her book and she doesn’t provide you with a bunch of hype or false promises. These are just time tested techniques that she used to earn extra cash and has duplicated. Eventually she found what worked and was able to put everything on autopilot.
Luckily, I was able to purchase Honest Riches 2 at a time when she had an offer that allowed you to also get any updates, along with a free copy to her newest e-book Honest Riches 3,which is out now. Unfortunately this will be her last book. So if you’re interested in her techniques and what she has to say click here to visit her website.

Ways To Earn Extra Cash - Forum Marketing
What if there were ways to earn extra cash without writing articles? Would you be interested? IF you read my last post about ways to earn extra cash with article marketing you would see that although it is a free method of marketing it could be time consuming. Today I am going to talk about the power of Forum Marketing. Imagine having the ability to have the same effect of article marketing in half the time! Well it’s true and it is with forum marketing.
Many people join forums for the knowledge and expertise however, forums can be a major source of additional income. There are thousands of forums out there to join in many different categories. Most people go to forums to seek out information, however the ways to make money are often overlooked.
One of the ways to make money with forums is to post on topics of interest, and refer traffic to website or blog. You can become an expert in your niche. Then post topics of interest in your area of expertise. It would probably be a good idea to lurk around first and find out the type of language they use get your name out there. Then once you have made somewhat of a name for yourself you can go out and start to promote what ever it is you want to promote.
If you don’t have a website then you can still post in treads and advertise with your signature. Many forums allow to put your website or affiliate links in the signature section of your post. If you target the type of people you are trying to sell to, by answering their questions they are likely to see your link, and if it’s interesting they’ll click on it (and if the product you are representing is worth anything you may make a sale). The more you target your potential prospects, and the more specific you are the better your chances of making the sale.
Still don’t get it? Ok consider this 5 post to 5 different forums a day = 25 posts a day (this is being really conservative). 25 posts a day for 30 days = 750 posts for one month.
750 posts a month for 6 months = 4500 posts. That’s 4500 posts to potential highly targeted traffic if you do this right. Surely you can make some sales from 4500 views. Now there is a variable here, I must admit. Lets say for example you write 4500 quality post and you receive a very conservative 2 views from every post you submit. That’s 4500 x 2 views each = 9000 views. That’s highly targeted visitors to your site or affiliate link. With that many targeted views I’m sure you can find some ways to earn extra cash.

Make Money Online and Earn Extra Cash for FREE with Article Marketing
Article Marketing: Earn Extra Cash for Free
Today I’m going to talk about how to earn extra cash online for FREE. Like most people if your reading this blog you want to learn how to make money online for FREE. You don’t want to purchase e-book after e-book telling you how to learn how to get rich by selling the very same e-book that you just bought. Don’t get me wrong e-books are not all bad but about 90 percent are crap! I’ll mention one later that I bought and feel is great for beginners if your interested but for now...Let’s talk about Article marketing.
I’m not going to go into great detail and write a long 1200 word post like last time but this should be enough to get you started. Firsts thing First choose your Niche. If you don’t know what a niche is then I would suggest to read my "how to find a niche" post here.
Ok you back. After you’ve found the area that you want to write articles about, you are ready to start your article marketing campaign. What your going to do is use the art of a pre-sale. You are not going to actually write about selling anything. First of f, when you write your first article of course I’m assuming you already have a product (like clickbank) that your going to sell in mind. By pre-sale I mean that you are going to give your reader valuable information for free. You are doing this to gain interest and develop a rapport in your site that your selling your product on or your affiliate link. You may also what to see what kind of sites come up in the search engine results page. If they are not selling anything, then you may want to consider a different niche (unless you are using Adsense).
Now you are also going to create a blog like this one (it’s free just go to blogger.com) as a landing page to use in the resource section of your article. Some article directories may allow you to put your affiliate links directly in your articles but most don’t. If you find some that allow you. You’re in luck. Use them. Going back to Writing articles in your niche, you would want to also SEO (search engine optimize) your articles. Generally speaking you want to include your keyword in your title subtitle and in the Body of your article (first and second sentences great and once in the last sentence). For more info on SEO/Adsense you can check out Grizzly’s Make Money Online Blog. If you do this right. you may be able to get on the first page for many smaller niches.
BTW Here’s a list of article directories I use:
Ezinearticles.com
Goarticles.com (one of the fastest approved article directories)
www.amazines.com
http://www.articlesbase.com
http://www.articlesnatch.com/
http://www.isnare.com/
http://www.articlerich.com
Searchwarp.com
Articlecity.com
ArticleAlley.com
Oh yeah, if your interested one of the many books I’ve read that I feel is great overall for beginners in internet marketing is called Honest Riches by Holly Mann. I can say without hesitation that I promote her E-book as an affiliate. There’s No Hype or Get Rich. It’s Just a step-by-Step Guide to Internet Marketing. For more information about Honest Riches Click Here.
I’ll have the next post on Forum marketing in Few.. That’s it for now. Stay tuned for more Free Methods of making money online and earning extra cash.
