Free Traffic and List Building Through Article Writing

If you’re like many people trying to make an online income, you’re still having a very hard time finding ways to build your list and generate traffic to your website (if you have one). One way that is gaining popularity very rapidly is by writing articles and submitting them to article directories.

If you’re fairly decent at writing, you can make a great income through articles that link back to your website or blog. Even if you’re terrible at writing, there’s still hope for you. Article packages can be bought for a very reasonable fee and you can change and rewrite articles very easily.

Or another way to get your articles published is to get a ghostwriter to write them for you. A ghostwriter is someone who writes articles that you pay for. You can check at Elance to find someone you can hire for this purpose.

They should cost between $5-10 dollars per article and may be less expensive if you buy them in a larger quantity. Many people make a great living writing articles for others and if you’re a good writer, you may be able to supplement your income in this way also. Make sure you verify that they put out quality articles and always attach your signature in the authors box. The articles should be well written and checked for correct spelling and  grammar.

When you submit your articles, make sure you read the terms of  the article submission site so they will not reject your articles. Usually, your article cannot have a self serving promotion or affiliate link in the article body. That is what your signature box is for.Every site has their particular rules, so read carefully.

Also, very important, is to submit to the article directory first, before you post on your blog. They have software that checks for duplicate content on the net. What that means is you don’t want your article to show up all over the net before being posted to the directory. Otherwise, they will think you are just submitting an article that is not your original work or that has been submitted by other people already.

There is a monthly service you can subscribe to that will submit your articles to dozens or hundreds of article sites at once. Automation is one of the keys to doing business online easily and I can attest that submitting articles manually by hand is a slow process to do. I use this article submission  service, which costs $37 dollars a month for up to 8 articles.  So, in the name of saving time, it may be a good idea to get the service to submit articles automatically.

Try to make it a habit of writing and submitting at least 2 or more articles a week. If you write good articles with lots of informative content, people will click on your link in the signature box to find more info on your site. After a while, you will notice more signups and visitors to your websites. This will translate into more sales. So after awhile, your name will be coming up and you’ll be better known as an expert from your articles. This will build your list and generate massive traffic for you, which means more income.

Hopefully, this article has helped you get another income stream going and also to build your lists and get traffic to your sites. Please feel free to comment and pass this on to your friends. Take care and have a great day. Strive to always…
