About

I started this blog to help others like me who are looking for ways to make money online.

After getting laid off and almost losing my house, I just had to do something quick to generate some cash to pay for my house and all the bills that just keep piling up…

Hopefully there is a bright side to everything. I am actually able to earn more each month. And since last November when I got laid off, my monthly income has actually grown significantly each month. It’s like getting a raise each month… and you get to work for yourself, no time clock, no boss to report to (except yourself), and the commute is awesome — I just roll out of bed and slip into my office chair while still in my PJ’s…

The financial freedom I get from being my own boss will finally allow me to do some traveling. Which is great since I’m not married yet… And before I settle down and have kids (some day) I want to see the world. I kinda like being single, but I think I’ll eventually settle down once I find the right girl!

So this blog will be great for posting about my travels as well…

K. Let’s get back to toiling!

Here’s a few thoughts about how to use articles effectively:

–

If you know what article marketing is, then you know your article resource box is the place to make money. The catch is that you only have a small quantity of of space in which to entice the reader into further action. You must also abide by the submission guidelines of the article directory where you are submitting your article as you entice readers into action. There’s more than 1 easy money making idea to be taken advantage of with your article resource box.

One super easy money making idea that a lot of people just flat overlook is making sure the links in your article resource box are correct. Although it seems to be a bit too simplistic in nature to even be addressed, just imagine how much traffic could bypass your site if you accidentally fat-fingered your web address as you typed and did not catch the mistake. Every reader that is interested in your website or product finds themselves unable to get more information due to an invalid link. Lost visitors equal lost revenue.

Another easy money making idea is to link your articles to the newsletter subscription page on your website. Newsletter sign-ups are a great way to interact with with your readers on a regular basis. This will also build an e-mail list for potential sales at a later date.

I think making money from writing or editing articles is a great long term strategy. What do you think?
