Make Your First $1 Online Now

I started with internet marketing online several years ago.  I discovered Linkshare, and learned how to make websites to display banners, and products on my site.  I made my first dollar online from a flower order.  I have been hooked on internet marketing ever since.

For years I struggled to make just a few extra dollars.  Slowly I began to find enough knowledge through blogs to piece everything together.  I would make sales here and there, but it took a few years for me to start making money every month.   I just didn’t get the whole picture until I joined Wealthy Affiliate.  Now I have a good idea of what to do to make money every month.

I found that article marketing was one of the best ways that I could make sales without having to spend any money.  Associated Content is the article directory that I started with first because they will pay you upfront for your original articles.  I was writing travel articles and making a good $4 per article.  Click Here to sign up as a new author with Associated Content.  It’s free, and you will get paid in a matter of days.

If I were new and had to start from scratch, I would get started creating Squidoo lenses.  I would use the eBay and Amazon modules, sign up for Clickbank, and create lenses based on high gravity Clickbank products.  I would write articles on Associated Content and in the resource box link back to my Squidoo lens.  I would also write another original article and submit it to Ezinearticles.

Here is a couple of other article directories that will pay you for articles:

Examiner.com – One blogger made over $2,000 writing for the Examiner.  It’s worth checking out.

eHow.com – Make money writing “how to articles”

If you are a little nervous about writing articles, don’t be.  Most anyone can write an article, even if you have very little experience.  Copyblogger has some great tips on “How to Write an Article in 20 Minutes“, and Ian at Karmic Consulting is an expert at how to captivate your reader.  A must read is his Article Marketing eBook.  He gives good insight on how to get lots of people to read your articles and buy your products.

Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!
