So, how do you make money from articles, with no website of your own? Here are some strategies:
The easiest way to get started is to go to Squidoo, Hub Pages, Xomba or Snipsly and open up an account. Some say Ezinearticles and GoArticles produce good results too.
Write some keyword focused articles on popular products from Amazon.com. Why? Because millions of people are already comfortable buying from them. When you promote an affiliate product on Amazon, you don’t have to worry about building credibility. You can just write about the product and how it will solve their problem.
Write to solve a problem. Every successful product solves some sort of problem for people. Focus on making people aware of an already existing problem and show them how the product will help them.
Use the testimonials from the Amazon.com reviews that people write at the bottom of the page. People who have a problem need assurance that the product has helped others like them.
Just be careful to write an original article. You can use some of the feature descriptions and reviews as part of your article, but do a bit of research on Google and come up with something useful that isn’t already on Amazon.
If you do just this, and write enough articles with some basic online promotions as described in this article: Make Money With Articles – Direct Linking you will start making some money online.
