Did you realize that thousands of website operators use a
simple technique to generate targeted visitors to their
websites without paying a dime in advertising? It’s true.
In fact, the technique works so well that many of them
don’t want you to discover how they get those thousands of
website visitors and make so many sales on virtual “auto-
pilot.”
Their method?
Creating tightly focused articles other people publish in
their ezines (online magazines and email newsletters) and
post on their websites. This method rates so powerful that
some even call it “the web’s best kept traffic secret.”
Now, you may ask, “Why would an ezine publisher or website
owner publish my articles for their subscribers?”
The answer: Content!
Over a 100,000 ezines and newsletters operate on the web
(along with millions of websites) covering everything from
pets and cooking to investments and real estate. Many of
them need tightly focused content and they simply can’t
produce all of it themselves.
Look at it this way… it’s the same reason newspapers use
the Associated Press. Individual newspapers often can’t
afford staff writers to cover every story, so they accept
articles from outside their organization.
You can do the exact same thing for various ezines and
websites catering to your niche audience!
You can get valuable publicity — exposure you often
couldn’t even pay for if you wanted to — by providing
valuable, content-rich articles in exchange for a byline
and a link to your website (called a “resource box”)!
The following represent only a few of the enormous benefits
of writing and distributing simple articles online:
** Attain “Expert” Status **
Let’s face it! In the eyes of virtually everyone who reads
your articles you rank as the “expert” on the subject.
Just look at people who write newspaper columns. You
may disagree with their viewpoints, but they still have an
elevated status in your mind compared to the “average Joe”
off the street.
** Pre-sell Website Visitors **
If your article appeals to a niche audience hungry for more
information on a very focused subject, you actually pre-
sell them better than any sales pitch. In their minds,
you’ve already delivered content they really want so when
they click over to your site you already have a
“reputation” in their minds.
** Traffic Lasts Longer **
Even though the Internet changes very quickly, webmasters
are usually very slow to remove content from their sites.
Once you get an article posted on another person’s website,
you have an excellent chance of that article staying there
for weeks, months, even years.
** Increase Links To Your Site **
In a recent search I found just a dozen of my articles
posted on over 813 different websites! Not only do those
postings bring me traffic, but they also help my search
engine positioning because of my increased “Link
Popularity.”
** Builds Your Affiliate Base **
Fact: Affiliates always take the path of least resistance.
If you provide excellent articles they can easily post on
their sites or copy and paste into their ezines, your
affiliates will promote you more often and more effectively
compared to those who don’t give them tools.
Plus, as you make more sales and publish articles, other
people will see you providing excellent tools and will want
to sign up as your affiliate so they can use them too!
** Build a Huge “Opt-In” Email List **
You can use articles to build up a huge list of subscribers
by simply compiling several articles into a series and
delivering them at preset intervals.
Often called a “mini-course,” this technique allows you not
only to prove to your subscribers that you deliver great
information, but enables you to capture their name and
email adress so you can send them articles and special
offers in the future (with their permission).
** Requires No Special Skills **
People often think they need to be a “writer” in order to
publish articles, but that’s not true!
FACT: If you have a passion for a subject and can talk and
explain things like you would to a friend over a cup of
coffee, you can write articles people will love to read.
So if you operate a website selling virtually any type of
product or service (whether your own or as an affiliate),
publishing and promoting with articles should rank high on
your list of traffic generation strategies.
No other method of generating targeted traffic to your
website provides the quality, quantity and steadiness of
traffic in such a simple, straightforward, and cost-
effective manner.

Coraline video S1m0ne hd Webmasters need content for their blogs, websites, and promotional efforts. They’re willing to pay other people to write the content and that could be you.
You have to have some writing talent to ghostwrite articles but you don’t have to be an expert writer. Most articles in newspapers and offline magazines are written at the 8th grade level. You need to be organized, able to research topics quickly, summarize the main points and write the article in a clear way, with correct spelling and grammar.
The article length can range from 200 words to 1000 words or more. Payment is usually by the word. For beginners, a 500 word article can be sold for about $5.00. An accomplished ghostwriter can charge up to $50 for a 500 word article.
The client gives you the topic and any key words that must be included in the article. How long it takes to write the article is dependent upon how much you already know about the topic and how quickly you can find the materials you need to research the topic. It is possible, working at a steady pace, to write ten 400-500 word articles in one day. That’s $100 at $5 per article. At 30 minutes per article you’ll have spent nearly 5 hours writing.
Brotherhood of Blood dvd Ghostwritten articles become the property of the client after payment. They can’t be reused by the writer or offered for sale again. Don’t think you can marginally rewrite an article and resell it. That’s not ethical. There are ways online to check whether an article is original. One of the simplest is to take a sentence or two surround it with quotes and search for the sentences in a search engine.
Finding clients is probably more of a challenge than writing the articles. Many webmaster forums liked Digital Point and The Warrior Forum, have threads where people offer their services for sale. You can post an offer at no cost on Digital Point but you have to have been a member and have 15 posts to your name in order to do so. Warrior Forum also requires that you have been a member for awhile and there is a fee to post an offer. However, you can still earn money through these boards and other webmaster boards.
Scan the posts on the boards. Offer your services to the people who are asking questions about the services currently offered, or who have said they’ve bought the service. Do this by the private message function on both boards, not by posting on the thread. That would be considered spamming and could get you quickly banned.
Place ads on craigslist and usfreeads offering your service as well.
Hope this advice helped you learn how to make money online ghostwriting articles.
