Yes YOU can earn money from YOUR articles.
To do this you have to follow the process as shown below and be patient. It takes time for you to have your articles submitted, read and the links followed. Let’s assume you are in the “fishing from a beach” niche.
- Write 5 articles about fishing from a beach.
- Prepare your resource box with your name, your autoresponder link so that they can sign up for your course on fishing from a beach.
Your link takes the readers to your sales page for a product you have previously selected from Amazon or Clickbank relating to the fishing from a beach niche.
When you write your autoresponder series ensure you include links to other products for people to buy. These can be links to your own products or affiliate links to products from other people for whom you are an affiliate.
When other people promote your articles your name ends up in numerous search engine results thus giving you loads of free advertising and an even better search engine position.
Don’t forget to submit your articles to the article directories as no submission = no readers and thus no income from them.
Try and go for 2 tier affiliate programs if possible as those who sign up through your link will bring more people in to promote the product and earn you commission from their efforts as well as your own efforts.
Pick another sub niche in the main fishing niche with another product and repeat the above tactics to increase your earnings. You can do this with a number of sub niches and your name will become known as giving away good information across the Internet.
If you wish to enter a totally different niche then change your name slightly as otherwise you could become known as a jack of all trades and master of none. E.g. If I used Richard Moloney initally I could change that to R. Moloney for the second niche and R.M. Moloney for a third niche.
I have heard of marketers who have used aliases that bear no relationship to their real name at all but this is not something I would recommend.
Other ways of earning from your articles include the following:
- Affiliate programs
- Converting your articles into an ebook to sell or giveaway to build your list.
- Getting ezine publishers to include your articles in their publication
The following are just a few of the many article directories available to submit your articles to:
- Ezine Articles http://ezinearticles.com
- Go Articles http://goarticles.com
- Article City http://articlecity.com who also have a video section to submit your videos to.
- Isnare http://isnare.com who also operate a paid for article distribution service.
- Yahoo Groups also have a number of groups for article submission.
Your comments are always welcome and if you would like me to add your favourite article submission site to the above post it below.

Hi Richard
You already know that I love article marketing, and you only have to look at people like Dean Shainin to see how successful writing articles can be.
Dee
Hi Dee
I know how you like articles but i’ve never heard of Dean Shainin.
Richard
Hi Richard
Dean Shainin has some of the best read articles on Ezine and makes his living by article marketing.
Dee
Hi Dee
I will look for some of his articles

Dee, Richard . . .
You two make a mean team with your article writing.
Why do you not suggest using an alias, Batman . . . I mean Richard? I know there are some well known names in the online marketing sphere that don’t use their own names at all.
Or is your ‘no alias’ suggestion directed mainly at article marketers?
Hi Anthony
The only time I would consider using an alias would be if I didn’t want people to know who I was.
Ezine articles suggest using different variations of your own name for different niches, I.e. Richard Moloney, R Moloney, R M Moloney, M Moloney etc but I would still be using my own name.
If someone wants to be recognised for their work and uses their own name they will set their brand as their name. By using an alias they are having to set up a different brand name for each alias they use and as the articles etc that they post are probably written by someone else they can afford the extra costs involved in different brand names I can’t at present..
