Making Money On The Internet With Article Directories

By Ian Tate


Article directories are simply where you submit your free articles online. They would normally be submitted by the copyright holder as a means of promoting his or her website. The byline is probably the most overlooked, yet most important part of these articles, as it defines who wrote the article (or owns it, at the very least) and allows people to get in touch with the writer or article owner.

As you may know, articles directories are the perfect place to submit your articles so they can make you some cash. By using this method, people who are interested in your product or service will see your article, view you as an expert in the subject, and will visit your website. Even if you cannot write or do not have any knowledge on the subject on which you are promoting (for example for you run an affiliate website), you can always hire a writer to do the work for you. While this option may be expensive especially if you're dealing with a proven veteran writer, this is a service that would pay for itself quite soon, may it be through your own service or product or through affiliate sales - we're talking a potentially handsome profit here.

Let's see how this would work out in real life. Imagine that you are an accountant working from home. Feeling bored one day perhaps, you write an article about the wonderful world of accounting and submit it to different article directories. And mind you, people need accountants, especially during tax season - they will search for subjects related to your article, read it, think that you know what you're talking about, and respond by sending you an email or visiting your website. Your article just gained you a new client who may use your services regularly, but will definitely give you a nice profit at least once.

Another neat thing about this process of posting articles on a free article directory is the fact that people who run affiliate websites about accounting are likely to use your article on their own sites. These affiliates are required to attach your all-important byline, which means you should be getting even more exposure each time your article is reposted. In other words, once their website gains more traffic, you too will benefit.

There are a lot of article directories to choose from on the World Wide Web. You will want to submit a copy of each article you have written to each of these directories for best chances of added exposure. You get more of everything with this method - starting from web traffic all the way down to additional profit thanks to new and valued customers.
