Making Money with Articles: How Much Can I Make?
How much you can make from placing articles and affiliate links on your website differs from person to person. How much you are able to make will depend mostly on how successful your site is. This means getting good search engine rankings through SEO efforts, making your site enjoyable and informative to read through engaging content, building your site around a great niche subject, how big your site is, and how many sites you have.
Some people claim to make as much as $10,000 per month ($120,000 per year) through building and promoting niche sites, however, most people should not expect this kind of success, especially if you are very new, as that kind of success usually only comes with experience and acquired skill. A reasonable income to expect from a niche site, after you have worked for months to gain traffic and are hooked up with good affiliates, may be $500-$1,000 per month. However this is recurring income, so you will make that much monthly off of the efforts you put into that one site, it is not a one shot deal.
After you have a successful site, most choose to continue to build niche sites. The more sites that you build, the better an income you can generate. Some also choose to build very fast and very short sites over sites that are slightly longer in length. It should be noted that the larger each of your sites are, the more income you will likely generate off of them.
When starting out, it is important to remember that your first site will always be your hardest, since you are just learning the ropes of the business, and that not everyone is cut out to market and promote niche sites. It may not work out for you and you may end up losing a little bit of money, but that is a risk that everyone in this business has to take.
The important thing is that you don’t give up without a good shot at it, if this is really what you want to do. Your first site may take a long time, the work may be tedious, and you may feel like throwing in the towel. However, if you give up too early, you will never know what could have been. And who knows, you may be the next great website marketer!

Making Money with Articles: Free Article Content
Making Money with Articles: Free Article Content
Some webmasters try to use articles from free content directories to get visitors to their site and make some money. This is mostly important for those who have just begun working as an affiliate for several companies and do not yet have any funding, yet need to built small niche websites to visitors to their site so that they can begin making revenue.
Although this can sometimes be the only option for those who are running on a non-existent budget, it is not a way that will effectively build your website or revenue. There are a few potential reasons why this may be detrimental to your business building efforts.
Problem #1 - Search Engines
Search engines will only look down upon your site if it has the exact same duplicated content than other sites. The more sites that share your content, the less it will help you achieve good search engine rankings.
Good search engine rankings are essential in getting visitors to your sit so that they have a chance to click on your affiliate links. If you cannot even get visitors, then will never make an revenue. Working on the search engine optimization of your site so that you will eventually be high enough in the results to get customers, should be priority one.
Problem #2 - Getting visitors to click
Although getting your site high on search engine result pages and acquiring site visitors is hard work, unfortunately this is only half of the battle. You must also be able to convince those visitors to click on your affiliate links. If your visitors see the same content they have seen on a multitude of other sites, they will be least likely to click on your links. This is because most people want to buy things that are recommended by people that they trust or whom they feel like are an expert on the subject.
If your content is just duplicated from other sites, you will be exposed as someone who does not really know what they are talking about and therefore will not look heavily on your product recommendations. This will reduce the number of website visitors who will be willing to click through.
Problem #3 - Author Bylines
Most free content is only given to you if you agree to place the authors byline under the article (you can get into trouble if you try to use it without following the stipulated rules). This poses a problem because most author bylines include links. When a reader gets done reading a really intriguing article, there is a strong possibility that they will click on the author’s byline link rather than your affiliate links. This is the entire reason why these authors offer free content to begin with, so that they may get their name and links out there to the public. Using this type of content may mean shooting yourself in the foot and losing possible profitable website visitors.
Once you put these three problems together, you are looking at a serious decline in revenue simply because you used free website content from article directories. Although it may be the only option for some, if you have the funds to buy your own original content, then you should go this route. If you don’t have the finds, however, you may be better off writing your own content and then hiring professional services once you have made a profit to work with.

Making Money with Articles: Finding a Writer
Making Money with Articles: Finding a Writer
Finding the right freelance writer to produce your revenue generating articles can take a bit of time, however, if you find one that can easily take on another regular client and the two of you work well together, then that one difficult search will turn into a lot of profitable articles.
When you start your search, you may want to begin with a very small group of articles, just in case you happen too hook up with a writer that you are less than thrilled with. It is important to keep in mind that there are several different types of writing and each writer might be highly skilled in one area, yet lack in another. For example, there is creative/fiction writing, biographical writing, news writing, general informational article writing, critical writing, copy-writing, poem/verse writing, technical writing, medical writing, essay/report writing, and sports writing. Although a writer may be highly skilled in one area, many freelance writers spread themselves out into others areas as well. So, it is critical that the writer you choose can produce the type of content that you need.
To find a freelance writer, you can look at various freelancing websites that will allow you to post the specification of your project and your budget.
From there, writers will make bids on your project and provide you with writing samples so that you can get an idea of their skill level. Make sure that you choose a writer who gives you a sample of the type of article that you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for a copy-writer, do not hire someone who only sent you a sports writing sample. He or she may be an outstanding sports writer, but copy-writing is about selling (a product, service, or yourself) to your website visitors.
In conclusion, the more you are willing to pay per article, the more bids you will get from quality writers who know how to entertain and inform your website visitors so that they keep coming back for more. Writers know that you will eventually make a ton of money off of each article or content piece. So although $30 or more for a 500 word article may seem like a lot, when you think about the service they are providing you and the time and effort that they put into your piece, then you will realize that it really is not a lot for that one article. If you pay for quality, you will be amazed at how much you will eventually make off of your articles.

Making Money with Articles: Becoming an Affiliate
Making Money with Articles: Becoming an Affiliate
If you can either write articles or have the promotion and marketing knowledge to publicize articles that others write, becoming an affiliate for several companies may be a great way for you to generate a good income right from your own home. You can do this by receiving part of the revenue off of sales that the company gets from people who “click through” from your website via the company’s links that are placed on your pages.
Since you will be promoting a product or service, you will need a killer sales pitch and website content to get your readers interested in the product, convince them that they cannot live without the product, and to keep them coming back to your website time and time again for more recommendations and your useful content, which will get them clicking on your links once again. Although many affiliate companies only give you money off of the first sale you make from each customer, you have the option of promoting a good range of companies so that you can still make a profit off of your returning customers.
If you cannot write this kind of content of your own, there are many ways to pick up free or paid content to place on your affiliate website. There are many reasons why paying for such articles would be to your advantage. First, you will be able to tell the writer exactly what you want, what product you are trying to sell, and what direction they can go in to keep your readers interested and informed. On the other hand, when you search for free content, you are limited to what is already out there. Secondly, you will own the copyright to this content. That means that no one else can reuse it without your consent. If you opt for free content, you will be sharing that content with an unknown amount of other affiliate websites, plus the original author will be able to place their byline at the bottom of the article which could result in them stealing your traffic.
There are many products that have nice affiliate commission rates for those who know how to pre-sale their product and deliver click through customers who are ready to buy. As long as you choose to promote a product or service that can be very useful to a wide variety of people, then pre-selling your chosen company may not be that hard at all. The key in this situation may likely be getting those customers to your website so that they have a chance to see your recommendations and click on your affiliate links.

Making Money with Articles: Banner Advertisements
Making Money with Articles: Banner Advertisements
When you are trying to make money off of the articles on your website, it is important to effectively promote your site so that you will attract customers and they can see just what a good, quality site you have. There are several ways so market and promote your website, one of them being though banner advertisements.
What Banner Ads Can Do For You
Banner ads can help bring visitors from others sites to your own. Although monthly fees can be expensive to advertise on high traffic sites, in the end it may be cheaper and/or a faster way to start seeing significant revenue from your website efforts, rather than waiting for SEO techniques to bring your own site to the top of search engine results. Aside from paying to advertise on someone else’s site, there are also free banner exchanges to choose from. We will look at the pros and cons of each banner advertising method below.
Free Banner Exchanges
Free banner exchanges are when you and other sites exchange each others banners. Their banner will go on your site and your banner will go one their site. Although this option is free, there are two main problems with it. First, if you want your banner on a significant number of sites, it will mean cluttering your own site up with these banners. This could even shot you in the foot if you run an affiliate website because, instead of clicking on your affiliate links, your visitors may be clicking on your banner exchange links. Secondly, you have to be really careful about the types of sites that you exchange banners with. Some sites like to gather a lot of banners so that they can be a directory or portal site and not have to have any real content. These “banner farms” or “link farms” will do nothing positive for your site and, in the meantime, you will be bringing them potential traffic.
Paid Banner Ads
As we saw above, paid banner ads cost money, but they will eventually pay off if you choose the right ones. You need to ensure that the site produces the amount of traffic that they say and that they have your ad placed in a way that invites visitors to click without being too pushy. You also want to choose a site that does not house too many other banners on the same page as yours or that there are no competitor links on the same page.
All in all, banner ads can end up being profitable for you site if you go about it the right way. If you do decide to check out banner advertisement as a marketing avenue, be sure to keep the above tips in mind.

Making Money with Articles: Article Directories
Making Money with Articles: Article Directories
Article directories are websites that house free articles. These articles are usually put there by whoever owns the copyright to them as a promotion method. Each article has the owners byline placed under it so that those who eventually read the article will know who wrote it (or at least who owns it) and will be able to get in contact with or visit their website for further information.
Articles directories are a great place to put your articles so that they will make you money. 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. Getting quality articles written will be expensive up front, but they will pay for themselves in no time, either through affiliate sales or selling your own services, and everything from then on is pure profit.
Let’s take a real life example. Imagine that you are an accountant working from home. You write an article on an accounting topic and place it on various article directories. Those who are looking for the subject you wrote about will read your article, see that you have the knowledge and skill that is needed to do a job for them, and visit your website or contact you via e-mail. 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.
Furthermore, since you have posted it on a free article directory, others who have affiliate websites about accounting will inevitably use your article for their website. Since they must attach your byline to it, this will bring you even more exposure for every website that re-posts your article. This because you will be benefiting of off the traffic that they get to their website.
There are numerous article directories out there for you to utilize. Your bet best is to put a copy of each of your articles on every one for maximum exposure. It will eventually help to bring more traffic and customers to your website, which will lead to new orders and more profit.

About Google adsense?
About Google adsense?
If you look at the Internet a few years back, you'll see that advertising was done in a way that was very similar to other types of media like television, or actually, more like what you see in a newspaper.
You'd enter a site, and in some location you'd get to see a banner (often these were quite numerous and very large), which would present and ad for whatever company was paying for adds on your space.
But there was one problem with this kind of advertising. It really wasn't exploiting the fact that the adds weren't in some newspaper, but were instead presented over the Internet.
You've probably noticed a lot of things like this over the pages you've browsed. You're looking at an on-line shop, looking for a watch but you get a banner that advertises a car.
While you might, at some later point want to buy a car, right now you're looking for a watch and it would have surely been nice if the banner were advertising a watch, because then you would have probably clicked it.
Well that's also what the folks at Google thought of, so they came up with a killer idea. This is knows as Google AdSense, and it's known as a targeted advertising program
What you do (as a web designer / website owner) is, instead of jumping through hoops to get some banner on your site that your visitors won't even care about, is you just allocate some region of the screen.
You then sign up for the Google AdSense program, you insert a small snippet of code in your webpage and Google ensures that in the location you specify, a banner will appear, presenting adds relevant to the contents of your site.
It's very easy for Google to do this because Google is a search engine company. It looks for the key words in your page, searches a database of websites to find the ones related to whatever is on your page and presto: a targeted ad.
You (the webmaster) get a fee for each visitor that clicks on an adsense banner on your site. Now that's bound to happen more often then with a traditional banner because people are actually interested in what's in that banner (otherwise, they wouldn't be on your page would they?).
But, this also does wonders for the people who want to advertise. And it's because of the same reason. The greatest thing about Google AdSense is that all the content in a banner is relevant.
This relevancy is the key to the programs success, and also the reason why everyone remains happy. The advertiser has a relevantly placed advert, the publisher earns money from their content and Google take their cut.
Of course, as always, Google has set some high standards for its AdSense program, in terms of looks and functionality. You can't have more than two such banners on your website and Google only inserts text in these banners.
So an extra benefit is that AdSense advertising is a lot less obtrusive then regular advertising. But this also means you should position the banner better because it's possible that visitors might miss it altogether.
So in the end, Google AdSense is an advertising program that is unique because the ads are relevant to the content on the site. Anyone that wants to advertise pays Google for it. Anyone who wants to place ads on their site does this through AdSense, getting paid by Google in the process.
All transactions are run through Google, and the advertisers and publishers get access to statistics which help them to understand and moderate the effectiveness of their campaign.
The whole process is elegant, simple and effective from anyone in the chain, from site visitors to advertisers, and it's one of the reasons Google are known for their innovation and new thinking.
You need to have optimized niche website templates for best results. You may find the best adsense templates and blog templates at www.AdsenseTemplates.com (http://www.adsensetemplates.com). They are offering 100 fresh new templates every month.

Bisnis Apa Yang Harus Saya Lakukan ?
online business, blog, tips and trickHal seperti ini banyak sekali ditanyakan dan menjadi bahasan yang selalu hangat dari netter bisnis di Indonesia. Saya ingin mengeluarkan Survey saya tentang produk yang laku dijual di Internet.
Dari pantauan, masukan dan sumber para ahli, maka ada 4 produk utama yang laku dijual di Internet. Produk tersebut yaitu :
1. Software
2. Ebook
3. Hosting
4. Personal Website
Dari keempat produk diatas, saya ingin menyoroti mengenai Ebook (menjual informasi). Seblumnya mari kita pahami terlebih dahulu apa itu Ebook dan apa kaitannya dengan internet.
Ebook dapat dikatakan sebagai "Electronic Book" atau buku elektronik.
Sedangkan kaitannya dengan dunia maya atau internet adalah Informasi. Coba anda perhatikan, banyak orang yang menggunakan internet untuk mencari sebuah informasi, dan Ebook merupakan salah satu media yang dapat digunakan untuk memberikan sebuah informasi kepada si pencari informasi.
Mereka banyak mencari informasi melalui internet, banyak dari mereka yang merasakan bahwa informasi yang mereka dapatkan dari internet lebih lengkap dan lebih jelas daripada informasi yang mereka dapatkan dari media lain.
Memang di Internet informasi dapat didapatkan secara gratis, lalu apa untungnya dengan menjual ebook ? mungkin ini pertanyaan yang sedikit mengganggu pikiran anda sekarang.
Anda benar, informasi di Internet dapat didapatkan secara gratis, tapi anda jangan lupa, bahwa karena banyaknya informasi yang terdapat di Internet, semakin sulit juga anda mendapatkan informasi yang banar-benar dan sesuai dengan keinginan anda.
Sebagai contoh :
Misal Anda mencari info dengan menggunakan sebuah search engine Google dengan kata kunci "Home Business", maka anda dapat melihat akan keluar puluhan ribu informasi yang menyajikan hal mengenai Home Business.
Sekarang yang menjadi pertanyaan adalah, apakah anda ingin melihat semua informasi tersebut satu persatu ?
Berapa waktu, biaya, tenaga yang anda habiskan untuk mendapatkan informasi itu ?
Ya, orang akan lebih cenderung membeli informasi dari seseorang yang telah merangkum informasi tersebut dalam sebuah tulisan. Ebook adalah salah satu medianya . Itu akan lebih menghemat biaya dan waktu ketimbang anda harus menyaring dari 1.000 bahkan lebih situs yang anda kunjungi.
Jadi, selamat mebuat dan menjual Ebook :)

Bisnis Online Itu Mahal ?
Saya tidak tau darimana datangnya ungkapan seperti itu, saya dulu sempat mendengar ungkapan seperti itu yang akhirnya membuat saya ragu untuk menjalankan bisnis online atau bisnis di Internet.Saya memulai bisnis pertama saya hanya dengan mengeluarkan modal sebesar Rp. 70.000,- Apa menurut anda itu harga yang mahal ? Mahal atau tidak, itu menurut saya relatif. Tapi pada umumnya harga seperti diatas itu dikatakan sangat murah untuk memulai sebuah bisnis.
Dan hasil yang saya dapatkan pada saat itu sekitar 500% dari modal (Lumayan bukan)
Waktu itu bisnis yang saya ikuti adalah bukan bisnis saya sendiri melainkan bisnis orang lain.
Dan sekarang saya memiliki beberapa bisnis saya sendiri.
Lalu berapa biaya saat saya membuat bisnis saya sendiri ?
Kurang lebih Rp. 200.000 / tahun
Hasil yang saya peroleh mencapai 1 - 10 juta setiap bulannya, sampai saat ini saya masih menghasilkan uang dari bisnis saya di Internet.
Apakah anda masih melihat itu sebagai biaya yang tinggi jika anda bandingkan dengan hasil yang akan anda peroleh.
Saya masih ingat saat saya pertama memulai bisnis online saya sendiri, kurang dari satu minggu uang saya sudah kembali (balik modal).
Apakah anda masih ragu untuk menjalankan bisnis online ?
Sekilas Lagi Tentang Bisnis Online
Ketika suatu hari seorang pemilik bengkel di Jepang diolok-olok dan hanya dianggap sebagai seorang yang miskin, segala idenya tentang motor (kendaraan roda dua) selalu di cemooh dan diacuhkan oleh orang-orang sekitarnya, Namun ternyata idenya tersebut mendapatkan suatu hasil yang luar biasa dan sekarang namanya diabadikan seagai salah satu merk kendaraan bermotor top di dunia.
Anda tau siapa yang sedang saya bicarakan ?
Anda benar sekali saya sedang membicarakan Bpk. Honda. Dia dulu pemilik bengkel sepeda, tapi karena keinginan yang kuat, walaupun banyak pihak yang menyelepelekannya, tetapi nyatanya, anda tahu sendiri bagaimana merek Honda sekarang. Mungkin, bahkan juga anda memiliki salah satu produknya.
Begitupun dengan Internet, dengan tidak dibatasi ruang, waktu, wilayah, adalah sangat baik sekali anda memulai bisnis di Internet.
Banyak orang seperti dua bersaudara DY yang membuat Yahoo, dan juga millyuner Amerika Serikat, Bill Gates yang sukses dengan Microsoft nya, menggunakan internet sebagai media penjualan maupun penyampaian informasi kepada client maupun customernya.
Sekarang Menurut saya tidak ada alasan bagi anda untuk tidak meyakini bahwa internet bisa menghasilkan kesuksesan yang terus menerus bagi anda atau dengan kata lain.
Masa depan anda dengan membangun Bisnis Internet adalah cerah :)

Sugesti Bisnis Online
Lagi-lagi kita akan membicarakan mengenai bisnis online. Beberapa orang indonesia mungkin menganggap suatu bahasan yang baru buat mereka, tapi tidak untuk sebagian yang lain. Bisnis Online pada masa sekarang ini memang sudah banyak digemari oleh para pengguna Internet diseluruh dunia bahkan di Indonesia.
Seperti yang pernah saya bahas dalam blog ini bahwa, bisnis online merupakan bisnis semua kalangan. Siapapun bisa mengikuti atau menjalankan bisnis online. Jadi dengan ini memungkinkan anda untuk memiliki sebuah perusahaan pribadi seperti bisnis konvensional pada umumnya.
Kendala yang biasa terjadi dalam menjalankan bisnis online adalah, kepercayaan diri yang terlalu berlebihan. Maksudnya, mereka selalu berpikir bisnis online adalah bisnis cepat kaya, bisnis yang dengan mudah dapat merubah kehidupan anda. Padahal pemikiran seperti itu adalah pemikiran yang salah besar.
Pada kenyataannya bisnis online sama halnya dengan bisnis konvensional. Semua harus anda jalankan dengan sungguh-sungguh dan jangan setengah-setengah. Anda akan gagal total dan akhirnya hanya membuang waktu anda percuma, apabila anda menjalankan bisnis tersebut dengan tidak maksimal. Jadi, jangan berpikir kalau bisnis online tersebut, bisnis cepat kaya. Perbedaan yang sangat mendasar dari bisnis online dan bisnis konvensional adalah, biaya awal atau modal., waktu, tempat dan lainnya.
Semoga artikel ini dapat membantu anda dalam menjalankan bisnis anda.
