Article Marketing Tips – Free Ways to Advertise

Article marketing is one of the best ways to make a living online, not simply because it is something that anyone can do, but because it is a free way of advertising. If you don’t know what article marketing is, it is easy to learn, and if you do but are looking for better ways to go about it, then keep reading.

These Article marketing tips will help you start earning a living online, if you are already familiar with the concept feel free to skip ahead, but if you are brand new then you can start right now.

Article marketing simply means writing an article about a product or topic and either publishing it on a website or submitting it to an article directory online. When someone reads your article and clicks through to the product or your website and makes a purchase then you would earn a commission.

It is a free way of getting traffic to your website or even to an article that you’ve written. You can write another article about the topic or something similar and point it to your main article in order to drive traffic to it. Traffic equals sales which of course equal money, and since it is free advertising you earn a pure profit without having to worry about any out of pocket expenses.

I’m sure that anything free sounds too good to be true, but honestly other than the cost of learning how, which I do have a free course by the way, or perhaps the cost of a website which is less than $10 per year, every thing you can do to build your business can be free.

Now that you have a basic idea of article marketing, perhaps now you’d like some tips on how to apply it. The first thing I do when I begin article marketing is to find a product or topic that interests me. I will do some research about it and learn more so that I can help others who are looking for information about it.

I have a website for my articles so first I will publish the article on my website. After a time I will write another article with the same keywords (example: “How to Ride a Bike”), I might use the same order or change it up, like Ways to Ride a Bike, and then I will publish my article on EzineArticles or ArticlesBase. You can keep doing this with other directories or find other ways to gradually build links back to your website.

The more strength you build with your website by writing articles on a regular basis or writing articles that point to it, the farther you will reach in the search engine results. The higher you get the more traffic you’ll get, more traffic equals more money, either through selling the product or by making money from Google Adsense.

New Online Stay at Home Jobs – Start an Online Business Now

In the past, finding legitimate stay at home jobs either online or offline was almost a complete impossibility.  While there are many businesses out there that you can run from home, usually selling a product, they are often very time consuming and end up making you leave your home anyway in order to implement them.  For an actual stay at home job that didn’t require travel off-site you had to turn to the internet and be faced with the unlimited number of scams that seem to persistently plague the web.  Although the scams are still there, unfortunately, and many still fall for their promises of riches, there are new stay at home job opportunities popping up in recent years that offer real options for people wanting to work from home, especially jobs for stay at home moms or dads.

A few of these options include doing paid surveys online, making money with incentivized freebie websites, and even currency trading which is an exciting but often unstable business.  The problem with these options is that they are still jobs in which you trade your time for money.  When building a true business, the best stay at home jobs are the ones that can make you money even if you aren’t actively working it; this is called a passive income.  If you start an online business and spend a considerable amount of time building your presence on the web you have the potential of not only creating something you can sell for a greater profit, but you are creating something that will continually bring you in a paycheck for something you may have done months or even years ago.

The legitimate stay at home jobs that the internet has created revolve around the idea of selling products or services as an affiliate and making a commission for your advertising efforts.  There is also the potential of doing the occasional odd job for people if you still wish to do so, for instance: website creation, article writing, graphic design, etc.  The opportunities online are virtually endless in the ways you can create an income in this field.

Start up costs for stay at home jobs online are also very little to even nothing at all depending on the method you choose.  You could advertise using the pay-per-click method and start by spending very little and reinvest your earnings into your business, or you could begin with article marketing and only spend time on your creations rather than money.  The choice is up to you, but starting an online business and finding real stay at home jobs using the internet is becoming a reality for many more people every day.
