Making Money with Your Blog!
If you can write well enough to write an email message you can make money writing for the Web with article marketing.
How much money?
That's up to you. There are hundreds of thousands of products you can sell with article marketing. It's possible to make much more than you make with your day job (even a highly paid one). It all depends on how how keen you are; basically on how much you write.
Get started making money: find something to sell
Your first step in article marketing is to find something to sell. Perhaps you're already an affiliate for a product or service.
(An "affiliate" is someone who promotes a product or service in order to get a commission on a sale.)
If you're not yet an affiliate, visit some of the popular affiliate networks, and sign up. Choose a product to sell, and you're good to go.
Here's a tip: promote products or services which you've used, and which you like. It's much easier to promote something when you have personal experience with it.
Write a couple of articles and post them online
As an article marketer, you promote your products by writing articles, and your primary tool is the "resource" or "bio box" at the end of the article.
So write a couple of articles to promote your affiliate product. The reason for writing a couple at one session is that once you're warmed up, it's as easy to write two articles as it is to write one - the second article will take you much less time than the first.
Now spend some time crafting a good resource box. This is your chance to be paid for your writing, so make your resource box effective. Ask yourself WHY someone would want to buy the product you're promoting, and emphasize that in your resource box.
You can post your articles to an article directory online, or you can set up a Web page at Squidoo, and post your articles there.
Article marketing is very easy, and it's profitable too. It's the ideal way to start your Web writing business.
