Article Writing for Cash

by Chuck Baird

When you see a title like this, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Is he going to try to persuade you to write articles for someone else for money? Will I try to tell you that you can write articles for cash for yourself? No, I won't do either of those things. (However, I will say here that you can do them both if that's what you are good at.)

What I will tell you is that you can publish short articles to entice web surfers to somewhere you would like them to visit... maybe your website or a product that you are an affiliate for. Then maybe you can sell them something or get them to join a club or whatever you are promoting while you have their attention?

Article writing is just that, writing about something you know about, that someone else would like to either learn, or know what you have to say on the subject.

You do not have to be an expert! You would be amazed at how much people want to know what someone else thinks about things in general. Your opinion counts! (At least for many people it will, you will be surprised!)

Here is the key. You have snagged their attention span long enough to get them to do something for you! Now, hopefully, you can take them where you want them to go and maybe make a sale!

That's where the "niche" comes into play. Notice how you hear that all the time? "The NICHE..." All that means is that you have been successful enough to have them to peek at something they are already interested in (hence the NICHE), and you still have their attention.

You have a hold to them with whatever you have successfully brought them to look at, and you now stand a good chance to make a sale of your item.

So, Article Writing for Cash is a simple proposition. You write an article and publish it in one of the many sites that we call "forums" here in the Internet. Or perhaps place it on your blog. Or both! I do both, and they move it around a lot more. (Also it increases dramatically your SEO rankings.)

When you publish, you will have your "links" in the article itself (which is not allowed on some forums) or in the Author's Bio Box or Resource Box. These links will direct the reader to the site or the blog. That is how Article Writing works, basically.

The amazing thing about this process that is just excellent is this. Other than your time, and a work out for your brain, IT IS COMPLETELY FREE! So if you are looking to increase traffic to your website, this is the way to go. That is particularly true if your money is in short supply.

Then you publish your articles, make sure you link them to the site/blog, and let those two things supply all the information that perhaps you cannot do in the actual article submission to the forum.

Please if you have questions; ask me in my blog. I check it daily and will answer them all. See you there!
