Every day there are many new people looking for ways to make money online and most do not have any money to get started this is why writing articles is a very popular method of making money online.
The hardest thing about writing articles is to know what to write about, so one must do some research to find a topic/niche which is hot and is worth writing articles on.
A great place to start looking for a topic/niche is to visit forums related to things you are already interested in, because it is always easier to write about something you already know something about and have a passion for then something you have no clue about.
In the forums look for popular problems you can answer within the articles you write and then share them with fellow members of the forum and tell them they can give the articles away for free or post them on their websites or blogs or even better send it out in a newsletter if they have one.
The reason why you would want to let fellow members of the forum give your articles away for free or to publish them on their blog or website is to drive visitors to products or services you will be linking to via the Author Bio section in the article.
The Author Bio section in the article is the second most important part of the article, the content of the article is the most important thing so make sure you get this part right, and if you answer the problem you are writing about in such away not to give the complete solution this will make the reader want to learn more about the answer to the problem and they will be more likely to click your link in the Author Bio section of the article.
Although there are plenty of other ways to make money promoting affiliate programs or services with other marketing techniques you will find article marketing to be one of the best and most effective ways with out spending any money.
Joining and promoting affiliate programs is one of the most profitable ways to make money online and combined with article marketing it can be your ticket to making a full time income and quitting your day job.
However, many people stop or quit altogether when they realize that writing articles is work and takes a continual effort in order to see results.. Therefore, do not stop writing or quit if you do not start making money right away, just keep writing as many articles as you can each day, and you will start seeing your hard work pay off.
I spend a lot of time now writing articles, and submitting them to article directories and posting them on my website, and I must say I wish I did it a lot sooner, so don't wait like I did start writing your articles and distributing them today.
