How to Make Money Online for Beginners – Article Marketing

I’m sure in your quest on how to make money online for beginners you’ve heard that article marketing is the way to go. However, before you dive head first into it… let me give you some tips on what NOT to do.

Things you really want to avoid:

Thinking just a few will be okay – Beginners publish a few articles and then sit back and wait for the traffic and for their bank account to grow. When it does not come they say article marketing is a scam. Article marketing does work for many people, but you have to put a lot out there. It’s about volume, keywords, and quality. But the more you have out there… the more chances you have for people to see you and your website.

Making articles too long – Beginners want to share everything they know about a topic, and then they’re giving away their own secrets. Keep your articles between 300 – 500 words and don’t give away all of your secrets. You can seperate articles if you need to. Remember volume?

Having too many topics in one article – If you’re bouncing all over the place in your article with topics, you’re likely to ramble and bore your reader. Not to mention, why not seperate all those topics and put them in articles individually?

Writing boring titles – You’re not writing a term paper for school. You’re writing an article to go on the internet. Make it a little flashy, put some keywords in there, and really make it like a headline. It’s supposed to grab attention, not intimidate your readers.

Filling the article with keywords – You can’t fill up your article with keywords because it will get rejected. You have to write naturally and put them at least in the first and last paragraph. If you write naturally then the keywords will naturally appear and you won’t have to worry about rejection.

Making the Resource Box all about you – Sure you have to introduce yourself to the reader and you do have to establish yourself as the expert, but the reader would like to know how you personally could benefit them? Could you provide them some service especially regarding the subject in the article?

Neglecting to ask the reader to take any action – It’s not just simply about writing an article and then washing your hands clean. You have to tell your reader to take action and so something for themselves, this way they feel they really got something out of it. Especially a little homework. Telling them to do something gets their brain activated because you already grabbed their attention. Get them on your website or blog to exchange more information from you.

Writing the sheer volume of articles is tough, but it does pay off when you’re learning on how to make money online for beginners. You will be able to sit back one day and reap the rewards. But for now, get to writing!
