Use Article Directories To Make Money

July 3, 2009 By Ron Leave a Comment

If you are going to involve yourself in affiliate marketing or just the promotion of a personal website your need to understand the importance of article directories, firstly what are they?

They are online directories that store articles and are known to most marketers as article directories. The article is submitted by whoever owns the copyright to them as a promotional strategy. The signature file that is placed at the bottom of the article is used to direct readers to the site of the written article owner or author.

What Are The Benefits

When people read the article it will help spark their interest in your product or service being offered, individuals will hopefully see you as expert and will want to do business with you.

Even if you are unable to write or do not have any real knowledge on the subject on which you are promoting (for example, if you run an affiliate website), you can invariably hire a writer to do the work for you and place that content into the article directories.

This makes your opportunities virtually endless as an affiliate marketer where you can promote any product or service and be seen as an expert in your field just by writing or having a service or ghost writer do it for you and submitting quality articles to the directories.

If you are saving money and submitting these to the article directories yourself, be warned that you need to have some quality with your articles or they will be refused by the webmaster of the article submission site. All you simply need to do is follow their guidelines to ensure you get your marketing articles submitted.

While having written article content created for you can cost you some money upfront there are some very good services that will not break the bank such as Need-An-Article who have a great service and are well priced, in the long run the articles will more than pay for themselves either through the increased sales you will have on your own business site or through the additional affiliate sales they will create for you this is virtually how most affiliates cash in with content marketing.

You need to remember the more quality you have in the article that was created for you the more credibility the readers will believe you have. And once you have the trust of your visitor they are more likely to purchase from you.

Let’s use an example: Imagine that you are a health consultant working from your own home office. You write the article on natural health and submit it on to some of the available article directories paying special attention to any that are in “natural health article directories” niches. Online surfers who are looking for this type of information or service that you have written about will read your article, see that you have the knowledge they need and follow the link to your business site or shoot off an email to you requesting your services.

Your article just made you a new customer who may use your services on a regular basis, but will definitely give you a nice net profit at least once.

There Are Other Ways To Circulate Your Content

Also another factor that is over looked by many is that there are many services online that will also pick up your article and circulate it to their users if it is relevant to their niche. If you use articles correctly not only does it give you exposure and credibility for your niche websites but you will over time notice a huge increase in the amount of links pointing to your money sites, which by the way are one way back links giving your site more listings and a better ranking in the SERP’s.

The most beneficial part of all of this is that since you have posted your content to article directories, webmasters and site owners who have websites or are into affiliate marketing where they advertise accounting related topics will use your written article for their site. Affiliates will use your written article with your signature file which will help you get even more exposure to more people who can lead to more money in your pocket.

This is because of the fact that the affiliates have people coming to their website, which you now have access to your business information.

There are numerous article directories out there for you to submit articles. I have even secured a free article submission software program download for you to use called Directory Submitter that will submit your articles to a few hundred sites for you in the free version and currently more than 1300 article submission sites in the paid version. Your best move is to put a copy of each of your written articles on every one for the most exposure.

To gain maximum exposure you will wish to place your written material on every directory you are able to. It will eventually help to bring more traffic and customers to your site, which will lead to more work and more profit.
