What would the internet be without information? Well, it wouldn’t be the internet we know and love. The internet is all about information and without articles and content there would really be no information. In this post I’m gonna shed some light on two different ways you can make money writing articles. There is obviously a safe and steady way and there is a more risky and profitable way.

I’ll be honest, writing articles is what launched my internet career via the more risky and profitable way and I’m sure you’ve heard of plenty of other people who have hit a few goldmines writing articles. The risky and profitable way of writing articles involves writing them to get ranked in the search engines on certain keywords and of course the article would contain an affiliate link or a link to one of your websites where you would then make sales. Now the reason I say this is risky is because you spend a lot of time writing articles and out of 10 articles only 2 of them might even see the light of day on page one of Google. Not to say that this method isn’t effective or that it doesn’t work but there is a lot of front end work to be done in order to start seeing results. I have heard of several people hitting the jackpot with articles and making tens of thousands of dollars from just one article so if you have the time and the patience to give it an honest attempt, go for it. If you want a good starter course for learning how to make money with articles you should check out the Bum Marketing method by Travis Sago.

The other “safe” method is to become a freelance writer for webmasters who need content for their websites. A decent writer can easily fetch $10 per article and get swamped with enough work to keep them busy full-time. Obviously you would have to enjoy writing to take on a full-time writing position but I can tell you from first hand experience that the demand is certainly there. To get started you should sign up for a provider account at Elance.com and start bidding on writing projects.

Let’s make some money!
