There are many ways to make money from article marketing. In fact, you don’t even need a product, a web site, or even a list to make money. Once you learn how to write a basic article, the rest is easy.

Below are some of the common questions I get about article marketing:

1. I want to make some fast money online, but I don’t have a product. What do I do?

The beauty of article marketing is that it adds value to any product you promote. It also generates a lot of targeted traffic.

As I mentioned before, you don’t need a product, web site, or even a list. There are millions of affiliate products available on the Internet. All you have to do is choose one of those.

Create a basic web site. There are plenty of sites on the Internet that offer free web site hosting, and you can use these sites to create a basic web site until you can afford something better.

Do your research. Select a product. Write an article. Send the traffic to your free site.

2. I’ve been using article marketing for awhile now, but it’s not as effective as I expected. How can I make it more effective?

First, you want to make it your dedicated marketing strategy. What I mean by this is make it your only marketing strategy for awhile. Write as many articles as you can. Submit to as many article directories as you have time for.

Also, submit your articles consistently. This means that you want articles going out all of the time. A submission service that allows you to schedule your articles will help you do this. The point is, the more you do it, the more traffic you will get.

You may also want to consider the quality of your articles as well as your resource box. Are your articles something people are interested in reading. Do they solve a problem? Is your resource box relevant? Don’t waste your time telling others your life story. You want them to click on your link and go to your site, period.

3. How can I make my article marketing campaigns more effective without doing any extra work?

First, make sure your title is interesting. Readers are more likely to click and read your article if you offer some type of benefit.

Next, create a resource box that makes them want to click on your link. Give them a reason to visit their site. More information is always good, and a product that solves their problems is also an incentive.

Add your keywords to your title and throughout your article. This will help you with search engine optimization.

Again, consider an article submission service to help you automate your submissions as much as possible. This will also give you more time to write. Focus on writing.

4. What’s the easiest way to optimize my articles for the search engines?

I mentioned this one before, but I’ll repeat it here: include your keywords in your title and article. Submit to high page rank article directories. This will help your article rank higher in the search engines.

To your success,
