Article-Writing Business: 3 Easy Ways to Make Money

How much money do you want to make with your article-writing business?

It doesn't matter if you just want some extra pocket money or you're looking to pull down some serious cash to nuke your day job (or anything in between), an article writing business can give you the power to meet any financial goal you have.

It's true and it's rather easy once you decide how exactly you want to go about it.

There are several methods to choose from. We've picked these particular three methods to cover because, in our opinion, they are not only the easiest but they are proven winners to satisfy your short, medium and long term income goals.

As our short term income goal, we want to put spendable cash in our pockets as quickly and easily as possible right? Of course we do. So the first thing we want to do is submit our articles to a article directory site such as AssociatedContent.com (AC)

Sites like AC pay you anywhere from $3 to $20 per article you submit that gets accepted (which almost all do when you follow their submission guidelines). Submit ten articles per month and you'll immediately earn $30 to $200 bucks. Submit 50 articles per month and you'll earn $150 to $1000 per month. On top of the upfront payment, AC also pays you for performance. What that basically is in a nutshell is that they also pay you for how many times your article is viewed. This is recurring income for your Article Writing Business on top of the $3 to $20 per article submission.

AC pays upfront payments directly to your PayPal account 3 times per week (instant spendable cash) and performance payments are made monthly.

With our short term objectives met, lets start talking a little more medium term in regards to the income we can make with our Article Writing Business. We do this by making some passive residual income with affiliate marketing.

This type of Article Writing Business has become very popular and is called Article Marketing or Bum Marketing. It's a way to build residual income by making a commission from other writer's products. Basically, you use the articles you write to drive traffic to another site and when someone buys their product you earn a commission.

The goal with article marketing, in the context we're using here, is to think longer term residual income. You post a great article, with good keywords, etc. to a site like EzineArticles.com and that article can sit on page one of the major search engines for years. That gives you the potential to write an article, submit it, forget about it and collect cash for years to come. It's a very cool concept when you think about it... and it works.

For in depth information on this method, we suggest you visit Bummarketing.com. There is a fantastic free report there that explains everything about the concept.

For a solid long term plan with your Article Writing Business, you want people to hire you outright. Plain and simple, this is where you can make some fantastic money.

Web masters, bloggers, ezine publishers and anyone else who is even mildly successful online need to focus on other aspects of running their businesses to make it more profitable. They simply don't have the time or desire to sit around and write articles - even though it's crucial to their success.

What does this mean for us? They know articles are vitally important to their success and they must have them. So they hire folks like us to do it for them - and they're willing to pay us well for quality work.

When you follow the above method, all your income goals can be met and more. The process expands your Article Writing Business naturally and gives you 3 easy ways to make money.
