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.
