Are you writing articles for your Web site? You should, because every article you write can mean money in the bank for years to come. Let’s see how you can squirrel away profits from every article you write.

Many Internet marketers write articles, then stop, because they expect instant results. While you can indeed make money instantly from your articles, you should also consider the long term benefits of your articles, otherwise you’re throwing money away.

Set Goals for Your Web Site First – How Will Your Articles Help You to Achieve Those Goals?

Start by setting some goals for your Web site. Your goals could include traffic goals, and monetary goals. All things being equal, as your site gets more traffic, your income from your site will increase too.

Now create an article writing plan to help you to achieve those goals.

For example, let’s say that you’ve created an affiliate marketing site on which you’re selling alternative health products. Alternative health is a huge niche, with many competitors, but that shouldn’t faze you.

Your article writing skills will help your site to get traffic, and to grow, and you’ll get your share of traffic very quickly. As your site ages, and wins more trust from the search engines, your share of traffic will increase.

Here’s where you’ll out-shine the competition: few site owners realize the effect of a concentrated campaign of writing articles for their sites. Therefore, their sites are updated infrequently, if at all. Your site, on the other hand, with its frequent updates, attracts the search engines.

So develop a plan for writing articles for your site for the next three months. Decide on article topics, and look for affiliate products which people will want to buy.

As your site grows, your profits will grow.

Now’s the time to keep your site visitors returning to your site. Create a mailing list, so that each time you post a new article, list members are informed, and return to your site. Your mailing list gives you yet another source of traffic, and of income.

Writing articles for your Web site is the best way to build a business, and to squirrel away profits for the future. Get started today.

Want to turn articles into cash… year after year? While there are many reasons for writing articles, the primary reason is to make money. Let’s see how this works.

You can make money writing articles in many ways – by promoting your own sites and products, by affiliate marketing, and by writing articles for others.

First let’s consider a vital point: you must understand competition for attention online so that you will make great money with your articles.

Online, competition is fierce, and it’s getting fiercer. Major companies with multi-million dollar advertising budgets compete for attention with micro-businesses with zero budgets.

You can compete too, if you’re smart when you write your articles. “Writing smart” means writing articles which will get attention for years to come.

Let’s look at three tips which will help you to write smart, and turn each article you write into a cash machine.

1. Create a Goal for Each Article

Before you plan an article – or a batch of articles – create a goal.

I’ve heard of article writers bragging that they write 30 articles a day. While this is commendable, it’s rarely effective. Your primary goal is to get each article indexed in the search engines, so that it will generate traffic for years to come.

The search engines are getting smarter; if your articles aren’t well thought out and planned, and if they’re similar to what’s already indexed, they won’t get indexed at all – you may get a little traffic in the first couple of weeks, then your articles are consigned to the digital junk heap by the search engines.

2. Provide Value in Each Article So Your Readers Keep Reading Until They Hit Your Resource Box – and Click

In your articles, you freely give information: you give value. In effect, you’re paying your reader for his attention. You promise more value in your resource box, so your readers click on your links.

However, to get to your resource box, your reader needs to get to the end of the article.

Of course, your reader may click because your resource box is the only interesting thing in your article. However, remember that if this is the case, you’ll only get readers for a couple of weeks, until the search engines decide your article is junk, and toss it.

3. Create an Article Writing Campaign

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and constant streams of cash into your PayPal account aren’t created in a day either… they’re created with article writing campaigns.

So consider that each article is a brick which you’re adding to something you’re building – a campaign, which has specific, measurable goals.

Writing articles can bring a constant flow of cash, and every article you write can be a cash machine which pays out for years to come. The tips above will help.
