Making Money with
Articles - Article Directories
Article directories are websites that house
free articles. These articles are usually put there by
whoever owns the copyright to them as a promotion
method. Each article has the owners byline placed under
it so that those who eventually read the article will
know who wrote it (or at least who owns it) and will be
able to get in contact with or visit their website for
further information.

- Article Directories
Articles directories are a
great place to put your articles so that they will make
you money. By using this method, people who are
interested in your product or service will see your
article, view you as an expert in the subject, and will
visit your website. Even if you cannot write or do not
have any knowledge on the subject on which you are
promoting (for example for you run an affiliate
website), you can always hire a writer to do the work
for you. Getting quality articles written will be
expensive up front, but they will pay for themselves in
no time, either through affiliate sales or selling your
own services, and everything from then on is pure
profit.
Let’s take a real life example. Imagine
that you are an accountant working from home. You write
an article on an accounting topic and place it on
various article directories. Those who are looking for
the subject you wrote about will read your article, see
that you have the knowledge and skill that is needed to
do a job for them, and visit your website or contact you
via e-mail. Your article just gained you a new client
who may use your services regularly, but will definitely
give you a nice profit at least once.
Furthermore, since you have posted it on a free article
directory, others who have affiliate websites about
accounting will inevitably use your article for their
website. Since they must attach your byline to it, this
will bring you even more exposure for every website that
re-posts your article. This because you will be
benefiting of off the traffic that they get to their
website.
There are numerous article directories
out there for you to utilize. Your bet best is to put a
copy of each of your articles on every one for maximum
exposure. It will eventually help to bring more traffic
and customers to your website, which will lead to new
orders and more profit.
Fueling The

Learn how this work from home mom made her

It's that time of year again ... pages of backpacks,
notebooks and back-to-school clothing fill every
circular that hits your mailbox. And you're off to the
races ... the races being the mall, plus every other
store in between.<br><br>
You're in the same spot
you were last year this time, getting ready to head off
to work while your kids head off to school. Back to
hugging them goodbye in the morning and seeing them just
long enough in the evening to say I love you and tuck
them in.<br><br>
Wouldn't it be fantastic if the
easier schedule of the summer lasted all year long? No
more spending all your hours away from your kids just to
earn enough money to cover the essentials and pay
daycare?<br><br>
Take it from someone who knows
both sides of the deal here and believe that there's no
time like right now to make the transition from the
regular grind to working from home. As the proud Mom of
a 2005 honors graduate who's heading off to college
soon, I know first hand what a major impact working from
home has had on his success.<br><br>
When my son
was very young, I worked a full-time job away from home,
plus at least one part-time job on weekends. This meant
that my son was in daycare while I worked. As a single
parent who didn't receive child support (for years)
though, I had no other choice. <br><br>
A few
years later in the 1990's, I decided there had to be a
better way so I started a part-time medical billing
service from my home. This allowed me to give up the
outside part-time job and gave me the practical means of
earning the much-needed income. Best of all, it gave me
the priceless opportunity to take care of my son while I
worked. I quickly saw that I was onto something great
here ... what a concept! <br><br>
I moved from
the east coast to California with my son in 1995 where
my first full-time job was with a consulting firm
co-owned by a professional speaker. After some
negotiations with my boss, we entered into an agreement
by which I would work mornings in the office, leave to
pick up my son from school in the afternoons and work
from home the rest of the day. It worked out incredibly
well ... so well in fact, that in 2000, I decided to
leave the consulting firm and start my own full-time
home based virtual assistant business.<br><br>
Starting from scratch, I knew that gaining exposure for
my business was essential if I wanted to be successful
in my new venture. I also knew that traditional forms of
marketing are very expensive and quickly gobble up the
profits, particularly in the early stages. However, I
also remembered a technique that I used successfully for
my former employer.<br><br>
Besides being a
consultant and professional speaker, he was also an
author, so his goals included increasing his number of
speaking engagements and selling more copies of his
books. He hoped to accomplish these goals by
establishing himself as an expert in his industry, which
meant having his work published by every major magazine
in his field.<br><br>
Committed to accomplishing
his goals, he gave me a list of those publications, so I
drafted a query letter based on one of his story ideas
and e-mailed it to the editor of one of the magazines.
The editor responded in short notice and offered my
employer an article assignment. They published my boss's
article soon afterwards and featured it on the cover of
the magazine, producing an onslaught of calls to the
office!<br><br>
Writing and submitting that one
article produced several paid speaking engagements. This
new marketing intrigue fascinated me, so I fine-tuned my
article submission process creating logs and checklists,
and within a few months, my boss had accomplished his
goal of publication in every magazine on his list!
<br><br>
Even online and in-print publications we
hadn't contacted began calling and e-mailing in request
of articles. The results of writing and submitting
articles was so successful that we put other major
marketing techniques on hold so my boss could travel to
his paid speaking engagements.<br><br>
As my
interest and experience grew in this area of marketing,
I knew that if it worked for my boss that it would work
for other professionals as well. Soon, I was earning
over half my income handling article submissions for
other professionals.<br><br>
Then I realized that
if this technique worked for other professionals that it
would work for me too in building my own business. And
it has worked for me!<br><br>
This same marketing
technique, which I call marketing with articles, has
been the success behind my own business. I've used it to
expand my client base and build my virtual assistance
business into a solid income-generating company, which
has allowed me to work full-time at home for the past
five years. As my son is getting ready to leave for
college, my personal goal now is to help other parents
be successful in achieving their career goals while
living the dream of staying home with their
children.<br><br>
The concept of marketing with
articles does not require a professional writer. Anyone
can be successful in building their business and gaining
credibility as an expert in their industry or area of
expertise by writing and submitting free reprint
articles to online and in-print publications. The key to
success is in reaching your target audience with
resourceful information that is valuable to
them.<br><br>
Editors of both online and in-print
publications are in constant demand of quality content
for their readers. They have a continuing need to
publish content that appeals directly to their target
audience, which is where you come in. By writing and
submitting free reprint articles to publications that
reach readers in your market, you have the opportunity
to establish yourself as an expert and gain a generous
amount of exposure for your business. <br><br>
True, you aren't earning money for actually writing the
articles, but you are earning a huge payoff here. Not
only do you establish your credibility as an expert in
your industry or area of expertise, but you earn
significant exposure for yourself and your business.
Most editors will include your byline with your
articles, which gives you the opportunity to include
your name and contact information, plus the URL of your
web site. Readers come to recognize your name and relate
it with certain topics. The more articles you write and
submit, the more exposure you gain!<br><br>
The
marketing with articles technique helped turn my dream
of working from home full-time into a precious reality
that has made a positive impact for both my son and me.
As he goes off to college, he'll be leaving with all the
benefits of having had a mom who found a way to support
him financially without the high cost of being away from
him all day. Me, I'll have the benefit of knowing that
the bittersweet wind I'm putting beneath his wings comes
from my deepest desires for his complete success!
