External Linking With Article Marketing: A Good Method To Make Money On The Web

When most of us hear “learn how to make money online” we’ve learned to run the other way. There are so many scams out there it’s easier to give up than get involved in yet one. But don’t give up yet! Writing is a great way to make some money online, and you don’t need to be a degreed journalist with newspaper experience, nor do you need to be an experienced reporter. You just need to be able to put a few paragraphs together on a subject that people are interested in. Nowadays, writing has become the premier marketing tool – not just an entertainment medium. Using external links and article marketing can be a boon to any business, big or small.

There are many ways to write for the internet. An “article” can mean anything from a blog, home pages for websites, entire website content, sales letters, and even real stories and articles for online publishers.

Essentially there are two ways to get noticed online writing articles. You can get paid, or you can do it for free. Each has pros and cons.

Check out some sites where you can submit content for free. These frequently offer more benefits, too. At the end of your article you should place a link to your own website for the readers to either get more information or turn into paying customers. You will be looked on as an expert on the subject. That is, after all, a main benefit of article marketing.

For example, if you are a sports therapist you might want to write about how athletes can prevent injuries when working out. At the end of each article you should add your bio and a link to your website. Your goal, of course, is to get exposure as an expert in your field, and get customers as they flock to your website.

Other sites do pay you. You may be able to get a byline, and you may be able to add a link to your site, although others will not permit that. They all differ from each other.

Not many people get rich writing. Even Edgar Allen Poe died a bitter penniless man. With article writing, it’s all about marketing yourself and your business. However, writing for the internet isn’t about getting rich writing, per se. It’s all about advertising what you have to offer. Try some viral marketing with your emails, too. Put a link at the bottom just like Hotmail has done for years, and direct readers to your site or at least your phone.

Are you a mortgage broker? Hair dresser? Computer repair tech? There’s nothing like adding a link on your emails with either special promotions or a link to your website. You will get customers!
