8 Ways You Can Use Articles to Make Money And Gain Exposure

What can you do with the content you write? When I first started to learn SEO I got obsessed with backlinks. I searched everywhere for ways to build up my site’s link popularity to a point that I would spend almost 83% of my time online researching the topic. It was almost impossible not to stumble upon the article marketing topic a few times a day. I somehow felt horrified at the thought of writing content and giving it for free without any possible way for it. I was lazy and had the wrong attitude towards making money online. I started article marketing surrendering to the idea of building free backlinks to my small site. Article marketing gave great results but they where different from what I expected. The real return on investment came not from search engine traffic to my site but from the traffic the articles themselves were generating. However there are many different ways you can use articles to make money online now and help you take your business to the next level.

You can drive visitors to your sells or presell pages.

2. Submitting your articles to revenue sharing sites. These sites give you a percentage of the revenue associated with ad clicks and sales.
