There are dozens of old sayings that are as true today as when they where first coined. Among my favourites are; “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” and “Divide and Conquer”. When it comes to writing articles to make money you could do worse than follow this sage advice.
If you want to make money writing articles take the prudent step of building a portfolio that is diverse. The reality of the internet is that sites come and sites go. You can never be completely sure that a site that currently hosts your articles will be around in ten years time – with the exception of powerhouse companies like Google, or Ezinearticles who have proven longevity.
Another point to consider is the ever changing algorithms that search out sites and articles. What worked ten years ago does not work today and you may assume that what works now will be outdated in ten more years. They may not work in five years; such is the changing nature of the internet.
Make Money Writing Without Breaking Eggs
Create an excel document and in it make a list of the top twenty article directories. Write a steady stream of informative articles and upload them to the directories that I recommend:
These ten article directories carry good page rank and will leak good juice through all the back links that you will create. Spreading your articles about the net makes it more likely that you will catch interested readers willing to click on your link.
The interesting thing about article directories is that even though there is a glut of articles covering every conceivable topic they remain important to the search engines and receive a huge volume of traffic. Whether this will continue to be the case remains to be seen but for now article directories are staple parts of any online marketer’s diet.
Make Even More Money with Web 2.0
An even swifter method of making money can be used when you sign up to a web 2.0 site that allows you to create pages of your own. Many of these sites share revenue with you as well as providing another means of creating valuable back links to your blog.
I recommend these sites:
note: ehow is now run through the demand studios site. I've also noted Hubpages and Squidoo in the list above but that's just a sign of the high regard I hold both sites in.
There are many more sites that you can use to promote your article empire. A quick search on Google will find them for you. How many you use depends on how much work you are willing to do.
In Conclusion
If you want to make money writing articles online you need to divide and conquer. Divide your articles among the widest possible variety of sites. Do this and you will conquer the net both financially and strategically.
