Article writing is a good money maker if you do it right. Frankly, anyone possessing the basic English skills can write articles and make money from it. So, what are the ways of how money can be made with articles?

1. Write articles for niche Web sites. A small niche Web site needs around 10 to 15 articles. Sets of written articles can be either sold to webmasters or used to create niche sites. Once a niche site indexed by Google, it can be sold for around 50$ to 90$ (the price depends on the chosen niche); which is not bad.

2. Write articles and post them on your blog/web site. The articles will be indexed and will bring traffic from search engines. All you will have left to do is to add some kind of monetization to your site/blog to start making money.

3. Write articles and submit them to article directories. The article directories such as ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com get spidered frequently by search engines. And after articles get spidered, they start bringing traffic. Article directories allow you to have the “author’s info” text at the bottom of your articles, and that text should be used to direct readers to your blog/web site where you use some kind of monetization technique.

4. Finally, write articles for those who need it. People would pay from 2$ to whatever for an article of around 400 words. 400 words article is not difficult to write and once you get a hang of it, you will be able to write/rewrite at least 20 articles per day thus making 40$ plus a day.

Cheers.
