Well, what you also came across was nothing other than information. Or content. And if you didn’t know it by know – content makes money.




Today there are unlimited ways to even start making money with your content. That content could either be in the form of video, photos, music files and pdf files – however the dominating and most important content form remain written articles or posts. Information in the form of written words that is being picked up by the search engines for when people make a search on Google, Bing or Yahoo is important for blog owners or website masters as it brings traffic to their blogs or sites – and that means money.

The basic way in which bloggers make money remain ‘advertising revenue’. There more than 20 established ways to make money with advertisements on a blog, the most notably PPC – which the blogger is getting paid at a ‘pay-per-click’ basis. Thus each time someone clicks on an advertisement on a site or blog – someone could be paid $0.01, $0.10, $1 or sometimes even $10 per click.

Bloggers make sustainable amounts of money to their blogs as long as they keep getting sustainable traffic to it. And for that to work – they simply must get free traffic from the search engines.

Today there are also countless of websites (as well as blogs) to write for and get directly paid such as Constant Content; to write articles on and be a member of such a site in aid of backlinks or traffic as a direction to a specific landing page such as Ezine Articles. The basic reason for this is for benefits such as clicking on ads of a site, getting subscriptions to a blog – or even making direct sales from there.

There are even websites such as Hubpages and Squidoo which are of the popular web 2.0 sites where you can create an informative, interesting ‘lens’ or ‘hub’ and in the so doing get a share of revenue from any of the money earned from Google Adsense from these sites.

There are also other web 2.0 platforms such as Wordpress.com and Blogger.com where you can create a free blog. Add video, pictures – adding as much content to those site (although you won't be able to make money with these free blogs though).

How to get bags of cash from Constant Content

Populated by the most talented writers and renowned for the best quality of written artwork online, Constant Content is by far the internet’s most sophisticated, trusted and respected content marketplace to buy and sell your unique content.



If you are someone who’s good at coming up with insightful; enchanting; constructively persuasive content – you are need by literally hundreds of thousands of small firms and companies, bloggers and website master at a constant basis – and they wanted that articles by yesterday already! And you should be in a hurry as there are enormous fluxes of individuals who are standing ready with cash in their hands to get at you.

If you know you are an unbelievably talented writer that might be able to write fluent articles, without spelling mistakes and with the most perfect sentence structures – Constant Content is your answer and you need to hurry to them. But be warned. There are numerous people submitting their articles and blog posts to Constant Content for review to put it on their site for sale – and eventually get their articles rejected.



Let this not be an issue and down turn to you! The reason is that Constant Content constantly keep a high standard of quality in the reward to leave an over satisfactory  feeling to its customers over and over again – that’s why they keep coming back.

Things you need to know about Constant Content before submitting.


There are a few freelance writers that hate sites and companies like Constant Content for the very reason that they ask such a hefty fee when they as the writers are actually doing all the hard work and get very little reward for it.

Constant Content asks a 35% commission from sales of anything that sell on their site. You who would be the owner of that particular intellectual property will get the 65%. That really sounds too much too many people – or only at first hand. If you decide to sell an article for $50 – you get $32, while Constant Content will be getting $17.50

There are a lot of people that are exactly selling their written work at these prices, while some under price it at just $5-$15 – in the very hope of getting a lot more sales, off course.

You really don’t need to go that low to get something sold on Constant Content.

Let’s take a look at some benefits at Constant Content:




  • Unlike marketplaces for content such as Odesk and the likes where prices are predetermined for you, you can decide to sell your articles AT ANY PRICE YOU WISH at Constant Content.



  • You can answer public or private requests.


With answering public requests it is meant that you can reply to customers looking for specific articles. Constant Content will be sending you emails daily to the email address you gave them when you have signed up as a free member, and notify you of all the requests of potential customers that want specific articles on a specific subject – and sometimes they might give the specific headline or title as well.

With answering private requests is when someone specifically asks you to write an article for them. This could be that they have clicked on your profile and like the subjects of articles you write about or that they had purchased previous articles from you and was very satisfied with the high quality of article you carved out.

Things to look on for passing Constant Content’s review process:

Before you ever submit to Constant Content it is important that you read through your article over and over. Even if it would mean that you will need to go through it 100 times. Check not just your spelling – but also your sentence structures. Sometime when even your paragraphs are too long – you get a rejection.

Remember – Constant Content’s review process for a quality article bypasses even that of Ezine Articles’ review process tenfold. Your article will be sold – and Constant Content’s reputation is on talks here. Your article thus must be perfect!

Before you submit, read their guidelines on article submission again – and make sure you are credible. Also go through the Writer’s Guidelines and Writer’s Tutorial before you submit your very first article for approval.

A good thing will always be to write at least 10 articles in the first two or three weeks – in aid of building up your profile. One thing that’s important to the customers who would want to buy articles is that they will need to see who the person is who they’d want to buy an article from  - and what articles he or she have written before. Thus do upload a picture of you and write something purposeful related to your work as a writer.

All these things might sound a bit complicated and difficult – but believe me the moment you start doing all the needed things you need to do – you’ll be making money. And that’s actually all that would be counting for you in the first place.

Usually it takes 3 articles with Constant Content to bypass their strictest approval process. Then you’re through and everything could go much faster. (Normally an approval review could take 3-4 days.)

Seeing to it that there are so many people that don’t really mind about the prices of $50-$250 per article – you can make an outright great big deal of money there. With articles that are always popular such as those in relationships, parenting, seo, the make money online niche, business, finance and health – you shouldn’t need to have a problem getting sales from Constant Content.

So go and create an account today, and tell me how you are doing there.

How to create pieces of artwork for posts? Use PLR articles

If you’re not that good at writing or are bad at coming up with mind-blowing, unique ideas for content – just start looking around for PLR articles – and you’d be amazed at what you would be able to carve out of old dusty content.

PLR (Private Label Rights) articles are common to be published, usually, by what I would refer to as desperate bloggers and webmasters in need for content – and I don’t even need to mention why – but I’m going to anyway. It’s to generate as much advertisement revenue as possible from it.

In an internet world driven by content and information – every blog or website must regain continuous of these, in order to survive and keep getting a sustained amount of traffic. Content is thus the lifeblood of a blog and can’t exist without it. Take everything away – and the site dies. No-one visits it – and it becomes of no use. Seed it with lots and lots of overflowing content – and it flourishes.



Every blogger and webmaster knows about this story. That’s exactly why some of them would even go about doing lots of unwanted or unimpressive things to save them at getting content easier and cheaper ultimately in the hope to spare them the time and effort to do next to nothing. . . Are you one of those bloggers?



The most common, odd advice I would like to give you is to settle down. Relax. And to start from scratch all over again. This time at a much slower and organic pace – all in all to build up the ‘reputation’ of your blog.

Go and do a search for PLR articles online related to your niche, whether about blogging or whether about gardening. Mostly you will come off of websites where you will need to pay for these articles. That’s not a bad thing, in fact: I strongly suggest you actually do pay to buy them. Usually these articles would come in ‘packs’ of 10,20,25,50,100 even 1000’s. Seeing to it that they are so affordable – it is not even mentionable that you should go for those bigger packages such as 500 or 1000 that will only cost you $5 or $10. Just make sure on whether you buy that what would be within your niche. For whatever package you would be deciding on, at a per article basis it’s probably going to cost you $0.01 or less.

Most novice bloggers might not totally agree with me on all I say here that PLR articles might be one way to further trigger your ideas for writing. It’s a total fact that these type of articles, widely distributed and largely free to everyone, would give your blog any standout presence – neither is it to help improve building your blog’s reputation for that matter. In fact, in most cases they would tend to be so bad that one can hardly call it an ‘article’.

At first, that’s exactly why I advise you to rather buy these articles, instead of looking for a free one – to make sure that you’ll sort the bad ones from the good ones right in the first place. Logically, these would just be good-for-nothing weeds growing on hundreds of other websites.

Secondly – I’m not suggesting (and never did) that you should ‘publish’ these articles you buy! I’m merely coming up with an idea here on how you can let your creative juices flowing again.

Don’t you think it’s one way to at least try it out: Paying $0.01 for per idea? Off course you’re really not going to like every article. But it’s about the insights, the ideas locked up within those articles.

Who knows? Maybe you’ll be able to really carve something quite unique from those articles. It might even create unthought-of unique content opportunities rarely being discussed by even novice bloggers . . .

Make abundant money with affiliate marketing

Apart from making money through blogging, affiliate marketing is one of the most common ways to make staggering amounts of profits from the internet and one of the easiest sources to get money from.

Many internet dwellers, at least 70% of them, must have read some article about internet marketing before – or most likely – came off of an affiliate product itself. Offering the moon and the stars. (Or at least most of them do). People always tend to get the “too good to be true” feeling from this – and immediately leave – distrusting any possible opportunity it might have had to realize.




Making money from affiliate sales, apart from the uncertainty of the reputation of individual affiliate products, is one market affluent that shouldn't quite be underestimated when it comes to wealth potential. There are literally hundreds of millions of dollars flowing through the internet – just from sales dedicated to the affiliate marketing niche alone.
What is affiliate marketing – and how can you get your hands on those cash?

The chances that you'd already know what affiliate marketing is, even though you'd think you don't know, is more than 50%. The concept of affiliate marketing is nothing new; it has just been revolutionized online. In its most simple form: it's when you market/promote someone else's products and as a payment/reward you get a certain amount from the sold item(s).

So it's just like selling Avon products or as another example, selling health products.  The only revolutionized difference from Avon products which are physical products is that affiliate products are virtual. This changes everything. It changes the world. With promoting, distributing and doing word-of-mouth marketing with example Avon products, plus keeping those physical goods at your home, you'll need to go through the trouble meeting and explaining to dozens of people face to face, one by one about the product(s). You'll need to order those products and probably pay for courier or postage costs. Going through quite a lot for just a tiny little commission of 10% or sometimes a maybe 25%. With becoming an affiliate, marketing virtual products, you'll note that almost everywhere you'll look you'd be offered a 50%-75% share of the money.



But let me just share with you something which is most probably the interesting part of affiliate marketing: Whatever you're doing, you actually DON'T sell anything.

One thing, in particular, I have noted, is that some dubious bloggers and article writers tend to make public that by becoming an affiliate or affiliate marketer, you are a “seller”. This is misleading – as you aren't selling anything. You have no payments to process, no place to store whatever needs to be downloaded – in fact at first you don't even have the website to create the sales copy for it. When you're an affiliate marketer and reach your possible customers via an article through an article directory or on a web 2.0 interface such as hubpages, or a blog – you are merely going to redirect them to the page where that specific product will be situated. That is not selling. That's merely recommending something to someone - in detail. Assisting that person with something he/she, most likely, would have been interested in buying and made a search on Google to see whether there are a few people who have been using it or someone who could tell him generally more about the product.

Providing the consumer with information other than that what he/she would have been getting from the sales page. If you can create an insightful atmosphere through your words, advice and recommendations of your products, the person reading it would feel as if he'd want to sit down on his couch and seriously take into account what you have to say there. On the other hand, force the product to your potential customer – and he'll totally ignore you.

Where to get Affiliate products from

The biggest role players on the internet in the field of affiliate marketing is big names such as Amazon, Clickbank, Commission Junction and even Ebay. They even have 10,000’s of different products for you to choose from. However, there are thousands of other affiliate networks that simply must be taken advantage of, as well.

The first thing you should be thinking about upon deciding which company or individual's product to start promoting is finding out when exactly you'd be getting paid and through which way. The basic cash-out form is via check or Paypal. In the case that you live in a non-Paypal country (where you can't link your local bank account with your Paypal account for withdrawals) – you're going to be forced to get your money through check. This will result in you eventually receiving your money 6-10 weeks after you have actually earned it. (Depending on where you live + the bank clearance time after you received your check.)

Or you could also look for affiliate networks that will pay you through other payment forms such as Payza or 2Checkout – something that will still be faster than a check and a payment system that is supportive in the country you live in.

Believe me. When you'd be receiving your money two months after the time you earned it – it will impact your appetite for affiliate marketing and will kill your desire and spirit to continue.



How to promote affiliate products

I have seen lots of affiliates that, recklessly, promote their products in several of forms. Some of it being at such very eerie places – I don't even want to mention it. It's also not such a good idea to post ads in free classified directories. It's free and it's easy – but there's really not anything rewarding about any of the two. I'll give you two good reasons why to not do this: You're wasting your time posting ads. So many ads are continuously being placed by thousands of people, causing that your ad will immediately drop to the 10th, 50th or even 100th place – to the bottom of the list. It's unnecessary to mention that no-one will see your ad. Number two, is that by merely posting ads – you aren't providing any real quality of information about the product you promote – and you thus nullify your chances at someone buying your product(s).

Some affiliate would even go as far and bet their money on Google Adwords. If you don't know what Google Adwords is: It's a way to get immediate people to wherever you want them to go – but this comes at a cost. A cost of a per-click basis. By using Adwords, you will need to pay for every person that will be visiting your  product's page a certain amount. By experience – this will be around $1 per click. It means that you would need to pay $100 for getting about 100 people to see your products . . . If you don't know anything about Google Adwords – you're going to cry like a baby as Google will spare you no cent all the while, in most cases, be left with nothing.

There are thousands upon thousands of affiliates who are making use of article directories – writing very informative and triggering articles. The reason they do this is because they utilize keywords at their full advantage at gaining as much people to read their article(s) as possible. Article Directories usually rank very high in Google (or at least those with a good Google Pagerank). By combining research about what people type into Google and writing about exactly that – affiliates thus succeeds at gaining sales this way.

Things to note for when also writing articles:

Ezine Articles is known for being the premier article directory online – however don't support affiliate links at all. I advise you thus to make sure that when following this way to get people to see your products – to check for article directories that do support your links.



How to increase your chances to make affiliate sales?

There are numerous small things that you could implement to improve the chances at getting a bigger chance at making sales, by way of a bigger response percentage. To all the people visiting your product pages.

However, the most important thing will obviously be the way in how you will approach the person who will be reading your presentation about the product – and the way it will be presented is going to be seriously important. It could determine whether that person would be intrigued, would stay longer, even click through on your links to your product – or would just be leaving the soonest he had landed on you recommendation of the product. Whatever that would be.

Utilize web 2.0 websites in conjunction to your article marketing practices.

This is one of the biggest things that will impact a sale. Are you only going to have an article? With no picture and stuff to enchant your visitors? With web 2.0 websites such as Hubpages you could really go a long way in preparing yourself exactly how the page is going to look what your potential customer is going to look at. Squidoo does seem to be the most popular when it comes to providing more informative content, called lenses. Thus, if you don't have a blog or a website to do your own things – just use Squidoo. You could also make money (although very small amounts) with Hubpages and Squidoo – but then again, this post is nothing about it.

Also upon deciding exactly which product to choose, choose logically. Choose something that isn't so widely marketed by others – but something that do seem to yourself as a decent product that is without fluff. And then – also very important – the price. Would you be thinking about getting that $100 product and get the 75% commission – that will easily give you a $75? Think logically. Choose a more reasonable amount of product to buy – people don't have money to just throw around. Something between $20-$30 would do just fine – and $15 would trigger a suspicion about whether it's that cheap.

Upon deciding to become an affiliate or not – should be yours and no-one's decision but your own. So if you think that affiliate marketing is really something that is just over hyped and that one can't really make $3,000 or more with it – thanks for making more space for others that think different.

To your success.
