Article Marketing is a great way for beginners to start promoting products or services. The idea is simple, you write an article, submit it to article directories, and the visitors start rolling in. You provide the article directories with fresh content, and in return they give you a link back to your site.

Why Is Article Marketing so effective, and how can it make you money?

There are several different reasons as to why article marketing is so effective, but the main one is “Targeted Visitors”. After you articles are approved by the site owners, it is posted on the homepage of the site, usually for 24-48 hours. This does 2 things, it helps the search engines find your article so it can get indexed, and it exposes your article to all of the visitors that visit the homepage during that time.

The main purpose of submitting articles to these directories is to eventually generate traffic from them, as well as getting that precious back link back to your site. Depending on the authority of the article directory, your article should start seeing visitors from Google in about 1-2 weeks.

These are what we call targeted visitors. This is the type of traffic you want to be getting to your blogs, and not social traffic. Targeted Search Engine Traffic is the best traffic you can receive.
Let me explain this a bit for those who might be confused:

Let’s say you are selling a Cook-Book. The first thing you would do is write an article about cooking, and offer some free tips. You would then submit that article to (AD’s). It can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks for your article do get approved, so be patient. Once approved, your article should start to see some search engine traffic over time.

There are many factors that determine how much traffic your articles will be receiving. Don’t worry about these factors yet, you will only get more confused. Here are the basic for solid traffic that you need to know: Submit to a Article Directory with High Page Rank, write an article between 400-700 words, make sure your article is unique and provides useful information.

Back to the Cook-Book…so now, people who are searching about cooking in Google might end up finding your article. After reading your article, they will click through and visit your site. And hopefully they will buy your Cook-Book. You can use article marketing to promote you blog, site, product, service ect.

Here is the deal, I truly want to teach you how to make money, and offer you plenty of money making ideas for you to try. I truly believe that making money online is not for everyone. Why do I say this? Well, the thing is that most people do not realize how much work is involved. That’s why 9 out of 10 of you will fail ( Those Are The Stats, I Personally Wish That All Of You Reading This Will Succeed) but facts say otherwise.

If you are a hard working individual that dose not give up easily, than you have a really good chance of making it big. If you think that you will become a millionaire over night doing this, you will probably not even make a dollar let alone a million. It has a lot to do with your mindset. You have to be happy with having $1000 before being happy with a million. I guarantee that some people would still live miserable even if they finally got there million.

Money is not everything people! I am not trying to preach to you in anyway, I just want you to think outside of the box. I will be the first to tell you that it is not easy to make a living on the internet. Why will nobody else tell you that? Because they want to scam you and sell you crap. They want to make you believe that they have the secrets to make you a millionaire in a few weeks.

So are you truly ready to make money online…..
