If you have a love for writing and have often wondered if there was a way for you to make a full or part time living from your passion. Then you will be pleased to hear that you really can make money from writing and publishing your work online.
There are a host of websites that will pay you for writing for them. You may have heard of Bukisa and eHow which are two of the most popular Article writing websites around, I personally am a member of both websites but, I use them for two
different reason.
eHow.com is a website that requires you to write your articles all beginning with the same title “How to” Which is one of the most popular search terms in Online Marketing. I like using eHow because you can make good social and business contacts there,
The downside of eHow is their insistence that all of your article titles begin with “How to” I find this particular point a major pain in the rear end because it hurts my overall SEO results. You should also be aware that Ehow only pays money to people who live in the USA at this moment in time.
Bukisa.com has none of the constraints of ehow, as far as writing your article headlines goes. What I really like about this website is that your articles get indexed in Google’s search results very quickly. You will find this very handy especially if you have you’re own blog or Home Based Business Opportunity website. My main problem with Butiska is that it’s user interface can be extremely tempermental at times and you will get frustrated by this.
What you should look out for before joining Article Writing Websites
Is It Free To Join?
Is It a interactive website?
Has It got a very active community?
You will find that most of the article submission websites have various payment plans, my advice to you is never pay for anything until you check your stats in each website that you join. Once you know which of your articles are the most popular in terms of being downloaded and shared by other people. Then and only then should you be willing to part with you’re dollars
A interactive website is basically a site where you are allowed to post comments. Providing that you have something interesting to say, your comments will be allowed in the majority of cases. On most article submission websites such as Ezine articles, Go articles, and Article dashboard.com. You will find that hardly anybody will post any comments on your work.This is not something that you should worry about and I will explain why later.
At this point, I think that it is important that you know the difference between the websites that I’ve just mentioned in the above paragraph when compared to Bukisa and eHow com. If you’re main goal is to make money from your writing then, my advice to you is to avoid joining Ezine articles and the rest shown above.
These article submission websites are excellent for reach, reputation, and back links for your e-Marketing, but this will only be of use to you if you have you’re own website or blog. On the other hand, Bukisa and eHow are revenue sharing websites, this basically means that you not only have the potential to earn money from writing your articles. You also can make money by introducing others, and by being an active member.
“Going back to what I was saying earlier about Go articles and Article dashboard” the reason why nobody hardly ever post comments on these websites is because there is no incentive for its members, so you get a non active community. This is in complete contrast to revenue sharing websites which usually have both in abundance.
Being a active member of a revenue sharing website will bring you both long and short term benefits. Posting your comments on ehow members articles helps you to make friends and business contacts very quickly, not to mention a surge of visitors
eager to view your own articles.
Of course, when participating on these websites your long term goal should be to become every body’s favourite expert in your chosen subject. You will only reach this status if you write quality articles and not SPAM. Your reward for doing this
will be happy eHow and Bukisa members more than willing to refer your articles to their friends and business associates.
