How to make money from writing articles Part 1 : The forgotten way to make money online...

Many people are not aware of how to make money from home writing articles in their spare time. From my experience, I have made a good amount of money writing articles from the comfort of my bedroom on my laptop. It normally takes me about 20 minutes to write a good article or even thirty on a topic that I have to research.

When it comes to writing good articles, you have to create good content. Not everyone will become a fan of your literature. Learning how to make money from home writing articles consists of generating interesting topics. You need to have good writing skills that is engaging, good grammar and punctuation. It's really not all that hard for most people.
When writing articles, you have to be careful. Readers like good content, so you can't just throw something at them and expect for them to become a fan of your literature.

How to make money from home writing articles Part 3: Where to find them...

If you possess these skills and you enjoy writing, there are a few places to get you started making real money today.

• Well first things first. Take care of the easy tasks first. Contact all your friends and family members and let them know you have a personal blog that you want them to check out. If you have myspace or facebook, let all you friends and fans know that you have a new blog.


• Sign up with Twitter and follow people with the same interests as yours.


• Sign up with blog communities, just look up blog communities.


• Chat in forums and leave your blog name with the web address as your signature.


• Use your favorite keywords frequently in your posts but don't go overboard.


• Make sure that your blog in listed in all search engines.


• Update your blog frequently. Search engines recognize that these type of blogs are not dead and are relied upon more often.

These are the most important steps that you should take. Once this done, you will notice traffic arriving to your blog.

One of the things I do is create fliers with tear-off tabs and hang them up all over the city. This generates a lot of traffic for me.

• Sign up with Google AdSense. (Completely Free to sign-up)

Google AdSense is a advertising revenue program that pays you per click. They will place advertisements on your page (in text, photo, etc) and you get paid for each time someone clicks on the advertisements. It's a great program and easy to set up. They have an open forum that you can use to ask questions and you can also ask them questions through e-mail.

• Sign up with Commission Junction. (Completely Free to sign-up)

Commission Junction is an advertisement company that gives you a certain percentage for selling and promoting other people products on your site. I had a woman sign up with a hosting company that I advertised on my site and got paid $100.00. I had someone else sign up for a women's community(somewhat like myspace) and I got paid $2. It all just depends on how much the company is willing to pay and they tell you upfront how much that is.

• Sign up with ClickBank. (Completely Free to sign-up)

ClickBank is somewhat like commission junction. Basically, you choose products that you would like to promote on your site or anywhere on the Internet and they will give you a personalized link. When someone uses your link to purchase a product, you will get paid a certain percentage or an cash incentive for selling that product.

These are the three top companies that I personally work with. I have not had any problems getting paid. This is where the real money is when you want to make money on the Internet.

1. You advertise a certain store(VistaPrint.com, Walmart, Amazon.com, etc.) as a banner on your webpage.


2. Someone clicks on the banner and is taken to the advertiser's website.


3. They buy a product from the store.


4. You get paid a certain percentage (10% - 75%) of the sale.

Here's another example:

1. You send traffic to an advertiser's website by displaying their banner on your site(for example, LunarPages - web hosting).


2. Someone purchase their services and you get paid $100.00 just for sending them a customer.

This is called affliate marketing. And most people will simply overlook this unique way to make money online.

I'm already making money, If you are ready to start blogging, lets start off with the basics.

• First you will need a domain name.

A domain name is the name of your website address. This can be whatever you want it to be, but I reccomend that it relates to what you will be talking about. If you will be talking about cooking, then it should be something like http://www.debrascookingcuisine.com/ or http://www.debrashomestylereciepes.com/.

What ever you choose make sure it is unique and easy to remember.

• You will need to purchase your domain name, by going to GoDaddy.com.

I'm sure you have heard of GoDaddy.com. The number one domain name seller out there. I would not recommend anyone one else. These people are known for delivering great service and personalizing your experience.

• Get a host for your website. I recommend HostGator.com.

Host gator is actually rather cheap, and they provide excellent support 24/7 via live chat and telephone. There is always someone there to help you. This is one company that I have never heard anything bad about....period.

• Connect your domain to your host.

This is really easy. All you do is go to your godaddy account and change the domain name servers. Here are the steps:

1. Go to your Godaddy account and enter your login information.


2. Click on Domains.


3. Then click on My Domains from the menu of Domains.


4. Then click on the Name Servers Icon and change it to the ones that HostGator sent you via email.

Now all you have to do to get started blogging is go to yourdomainname.com/Cpanel. This will take you to your hosting account.

Scroll down to the bottom and click on Fantastico. From there click on Wordpress (Click new installation).

You should have a link to your blog now called Login. Login using your username and password.
