How Would I Do This? Earning Money From A Single Article

July 17, 2010 2:10pm CST
Here is what I would like to do: - Write a single article of advice and publish it on the Internet for free - Allow people to read and write comments/ask questions underneath - Earn money from the views and comments I get Can anyone tell me how I can do this? Would this be a blog? I always thought blogs were for people who write new things regularly. I don't want to do this although I would like to comment back and answer peoples questions on the article.

You can write for ehow, constant content, or associated content. If accepted they post your article and you earn royalties from page views.

There are lots of article sites where writers can earn money for their content; Bukisa, Triond, Ehow, Helium, Wikinut, etc. The problem is that if you write only one article you may not earn much. Most people who earn a lot of money on these sites (I am not one of them!) post lots of articles and have lots of followers who read their articles.

Yeah, you may do that..but the results aren't guaranteed, for sure. I have read lots of successful stories as well as the not so successful ones. Maybe it's all because of the niche chosen. Perhaps it's because of the types of articles chosen and many more factors. There are a thousand and one reasons for how one can earn from lots of articles.. but wait. You said a single article. It may be more harder, unless that topic is well sought after by people from all over the world. You may try.. and good luck to you. Hoping that success lies with you.

Read LouieWpHs04 (2449) reply and also read Dan Thies' SEO Fast Start. Of course you won't make money if you don't have traffic. Using traffic exchange programs is against the ToS of all article writing sites so we're down to SEO. :)

Ehow is a good way to earn. although they have been taken by demand studios and if you have been writing in the past you may not have enough writing for them in your resume to be impressed with. I wrote for ehow for over a year and they got took over by deman studios and told me my writing wasn't good enough. I could keep the writing I had done but I could no longer add articles. Associated content is good. Just be sure you have good content and site your sources if you have done research to write an article. Bukisa is a good way to earn. I just started on it. So I'm not sure yet on it how it works as far as paying. Helium is a really good way as well. if you want more information on it just email me on this site and I'll give you more.

Do articles on Ehow have to be based on fact? or just personal opinion/experiences? If based on fact, what do you have to do to prove what you're saying is true?
