Would you like to know the winning formula for making money on the web by writing articles? Here's how I do it: I write an article, make 4-5 versions of it and sell it for use by others in my same profession. In fact, only one part of my business generates enough income to fully support myself. This formula can be copied by almost anyone in any profession or business.
I write articles for executive coaches and business consultants. They use different versions of my articles in their own newsletters with their own names in the byline. When they buy an article, they get reprint rights, but not exclusivity. But since they are in all parts of the country and the world, they will not come across others using the same article. They can also change the article.
This formula can be used in any industry. Let's say you're a veterinarian. You know a lot about pets and about the clients of your veterinary clinic. You can easily write articles that appeal to your customers who are pet owners. You may already be writing and publishing a regular newsletter with articles that will appeal to your clients and potential clients.
What's stopping you from writing your article to meet the needs of other vets who need to send out a newsletter? You will publish a brief summary of this article on your website for veterinarians and offer it to them for a fee. They buy reprint rights and are used by hundreds of other vets who want to save time and energy on their own newsletters.
That's one way to make money writing articles on the web, but here are four more ways, all from the same article.
This same article is revised several times at different lengths. It can be sold in three different lengths, for example 2000 words to create a 4 page newsletter, 1000 words for a 2 page newsletter and 600-700 words for e-mail eZines. That means three more ways to sell the same article.
You also take the same article, change the title, make it more personal, and add your own experience, including your personal information and website links. Submit it to article directories on the web.
This version of your article with your name on it is picked up - this time for free - by other sites looking for content. Every time another site publishes your article on their site, they link back to your site. The more inbound links you have to your website, the higher the search engines value you.
This means that when people type your keywords into Google or any of the other search directories, you will start to climb higher in the search engine rankings. This is the fifth way to make money from the same article. This technique is rather indirect. Your article is used for free, but the power of linking will bring new customers to your website.
Finally, you can use the same article or another modified version of it on your own websites and blogs to attract new clients to you. Quality content on your site and on your blog will ensure that readers appreciate your expertise and use your services or buy your products.
Here's a bonus idea to monetize your articles: compile a group of articles on the same topic, format them into a PDF eBook, and sell it on your website.
You probably have knowledge and expertise in your own field that others would pay to have quality content for their own newsletters. This method requires good writing, or you can hire a professional editor to help you. It also requires you to master the art of web marketing to reach potential buyers of your articles. To successfully market your articles, you can submit your articles to many article directories on the web and quickly build traffic to your website and blog.
