How to Make ‘Serious Money’ with Simple Content

So what is content? More so how do you make money with it?

In simple terms ‘content’ is nothing more than a blog post, review, email newsletter or an online article.

Whist many believe that ‘content marketing’ belongs to the realm of professional writers only; the truth is anyone can write content, and you don’t even need any special skills to do it. Obviously the more compelling your content the more people will read it and in turn take action, but the truth is you don’t even need to ‘work hard’ to create good content, you only need to ‘work clever’.

These days content marketing is one aspect of Internet Marketing I thoroughly enjoy, why? Because I automate 90% of the work involved plus I earn a substantial living from it. But how exactly do I do that?

To understand how to make money with any kind of content marketing, you first need to be clear in your mind what the content is for and why you need it because unless you’re a professional author then ‘writing articles by themselves’ won’t make you money, however by using them to ‘drive traffic to a blog or sign-up page’ for example, most certainly will.

By understanding these first three simple steps below, not only will you understand the basic principle of ‘content marketing’, but you’ll also be well on your way to understanding how hundreds of thousands of internet marketers ‘make six figures every month’ simply by focussing all their content marketing efforts on subscriber ‘sign-ups’.

Simple content marketing strategy

• Write or better still ‘have written’ a simple yet informative ‘keyword targeted’ blog post about your blog’s niche. Whether it’s dieting, dating or making money for example try and focus on no more than one or two ‘keywords’ per post, keeping the post to no more than 300-500 words.

• Write or again ‘have written’ a separate keyword targeted article relating to the blog post. Use the same keyword/s but this time make the article a little longer at 500-1000 words.

• Finally, submit your article to the main article and RSS directories ensuring your article contains a ‘link’ back to your blog post.

If you follow this simple strategy and just ‘rinse and repeat’ on a regular basis then what you’ve just done is two things.

• First, as people start to find your online articles you’ll start to receive immediate traffic and sign-ups on your blog. You’ll also continue to receive these for the life of your article and every article written.

• Secondly, thanks to all those article ‘backlinks’, your Blog’s PR (Page Rank) with the major search engines will slowly start to increase, giving your website more authority in the eyes of Google for your chosen keywords and eventually giving you a ton of ‘organic’ or ‘free’ Google traffic as well.

If you don’t have the time, skills or inclination to write your own posts or articles, don’t worry. Believe it or not most marketers don’t have the time, skill or inclination to do it either. Instead try automating the entire process above using one or more of the three simple methods below.

Automating all of your content writing and directory submissions

• Hire someone to write for you. Sounds expensive? Well how does $5-$15 per article or review sound? My Article Express is the same content writing service I use, and by using My Article Express for example you’ll soon see that decent articles and reviews will start paying for themselves very quickly by bringing targeted traffic directly to your blog. Try fiverr as well because when business is slow a lot of professionals (including writers) will do anything for a fiverr!

• Auto Submission. The auto submission system I use is the Unique Article Wizard which as well as automatically submitting my article to thousands of relevant sites and directories, it also ‘spins’ or creates thousands of ‘unique version articles’ for more effective distribution and acceptance to these sites and directories. By doing this once a week (it takes only 30 minutes) this generates thousands of quality backlinks every month PLUS thousands of targeted visitors for what amounts to only a few dollars spent.

• Finally, if you’re a Word Press user then try WP Robot. This system not only sources existing web based articles and completely re-writes them for you, but it also  monetises your blog automatically with relevant products from Amazon Associates, Click bank, Commission junction and nine other income sources..

One final tip…

…Don’t just write for SEO purposes. Many Marketers make the mistake of writing or having written poor quality articles for the purpose of backlinks only. Instead take 20 minutes and re-write any element of any article you’ve written or had written that you’re not happy with. This can make a big difference to the instant traffic you receive because it’s a reader’s first impression of you and what you have to offer. If it’s trash then it’s ‘you’ that stands to lose.
