Making Money with Articles: Optimal Article Length

When choosing an article for your website, make sure that it is a length that is optimal for search engine optimization. Articles that are as short as 200 words or as long as 500 words should fit into this category. Even if search engine optimization is not your goal, it is still a good idea to keep your articles at this length for your reader’s sake. They are likely to not finish your page if it is any longer.

This could leave them winith only half of the information you wanted them to have or leave them with the impression that your site is too “wordy”. Most Internet readers do not read a website page as they would a book, so the shorter the better. Even if this means splitting one long idea into 4 or 5 pages. Be sure to label them so that the reader can pick and choose which part they want to read or so they know what is coming up next to help them determine if they want to continue reading.
If you are at all unsure as to the length of articles required by other ezine publishers, Go to one or more of the article directories and checkout the length that they recommend. They are the experts and will provide all the information that you may require.

If you find that you are having difficulty keeping your articles short enough for the requirements of the article directories, Don’t worry. Make sure that you have written everything that is relevant to the subject, even if it goes way beyond one thousand words.

You have the basis of a book. Half a dozen or more long articles put together in one volume has a value in its own right. If they are all on the same theme, so much the better. You may be able to extend some of your shorter articles to make up the number. If you save it as a PDF file that can be downloaded from your website, You have created the first of a long line of your own products that no one else is selling. Priced at about $19.99 it should generate sales for years to come.

MONEY FROM ARTICLES/1

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.

There are sites that will submit your articles to hundreds of article directories in one go. Some do it for free and some make a small charge for their services. It saves you a lot of time that you can use writing even more articles.
your time and your skills are your greatest assets. Use them wisely.
