You’ve probably heard about people that make money on the net, but had a quick look online yourself only to be bombarded with spammy looking work at home websites and got discouraged. And yes, while it’s true that there is a lot of false advertising out there, it is definitely possible to make money online because I do it every day.
So how do I do it?
Well I believe that one of the easiest ways to get started to earning an online income is by writing articles. Just like this one.
Words and information are the lifeblood of the internet (although video is also becoming increasingly popular but that’s another topic entirely). So by contributing your own words into articles to either put on your own websites or article directories such as Ezinearticles to gain backlinks and traffic you can earn quite a nice little income.
But how do you get the money?
Usually you will receive money after you sell something, but of course not many of us have things to sell ourselves so this is where promoting someone else’s product or putting advertising on your website will work. If you promote a product and someone buys it through your link you will get paid a commission.
But if you are not comfortable writing reviews and promoting products then just be writing purely informative articles and placing advertising on your site you can earn money as well. Probably the easiest way to put advertising on your site is with Google Adsense.
They will show ads that are relevant to your site without you having to bother going to look for advertising partners.
You will of course need a website or blog where you can put your articles on. If you don’t have one you can put your articles on some of the revenue sharing websites instead in which you can earn a percentage of the income that your article produces. Some of the top revenue sharing sites include hubpages.com, squidoo.com, xomba.com, infobarrel.com and snipsly.com.
Ezinearticles doesn’t have revenue sharing but they do rank high in Google so you can get lots of backlinks and/or traffic by placing your links in the resource box, just like I have below. This is the reason that most article marketers use Ezinearticles.
So as you can see it is possible to make money on the net, and it is all possible by writing articles.
