Setting Up An Article Directory To Make Money Online

Many people have heard, read and discussed about money making schemes on the Internet and most of the times, rejected them as fluke or fraud. If you are one of them, reading this article could change your viewpoint.

I’m not here to promote my website or sell anything to you. The sole purpose of this post is to share information which I think is useful for people who want to gain financial freedom by earning on the web but don’t know how to.

One of the best ways to do so is to set up an article directory. If nothing else, you can express your views on diverse topics but for most individuals, that is not enough!

You don’t have to spend loads of money for setting up an article directory. Let’s see…the scrip is free, articles can be written by you or others and the only expense is that for buying the domain name and getting web hosting service.

When you search for a domain name, I’ll suggest a short one that has a good PR attached to it. Go to reputed web marketing forums and you can find good deals for about $50.

After finding the domain, its time to choose an article directory script. You may install it yourself or hire a professional to do it. You can get this for free or very less money. Next, you’ll have to get hosting for getting your article directory launched online.

So far so good…now, you must invite people to submit articles for your directory. Be creative and use different strategies to get as many people to sign up as authors as possible. You may use:
  • Top article directories to submit articles containing information about your directory
  • PPC search engines like Google
  • Social bookmarketing
Once you get a lot of authors and article submissions, you can adopt different techniques to gain financial benefits from your article directory. Google AdSense is a great tool for this. Use this money maker to get content related adverts placed in your website.

Another technique is the placement of ads of popular affiliate products on your article directory to get some extra cash. Even selling banner ads and text links is a good option for making money from your article directory.

Setting up an article directory is a good idea for people who want to be an internet business owner. REMEMBER that you’ll need to put in considerable effort to generate traffic for your article directory because the more the customer traffic, higher is the revenue potential.
This is definitely a lucrative business alternative and if done with dedication and planning, you can be earning great rewards in a short period of time!
