Writing articles is the bread & butter in blogging and to have a successful blog, a blogger must know how to write good and interesting articles.
It’s a fact that we can earn profit through writing articles, but how?
I’ll share a way how to earn profit through writing articles. Check it out.
The first step is to determine what the main essence of your article is. This main essence is the key to your article and the link to your profitable page. This main essence or the core of your article might be the link to your affiliate ID – product that you promote through Clickbank, a free trial program from Commission Junction or any giveaway program that will pay you per lead or per sale. This main essence of your article will be the article’s topic. The topic doesn’t mean that you will use it as the title of your article, read more and you’ll know what I mean.
After you had determined what topic that you want to write, search through Google about the topic that you had been chosen before. Get some basic ideas from the articles but don’t ever copy or plagiarize them or you might get penalized because of the duplicate content. Get some basic ideas, that’s all.
Get the link that you will use in the article. It might be your affiliate link or etc. Avoid using original affiliate link because it’s not a good idea to let the readers see the “original core” of your article. The long affiliate URL is not attractive and you might lose the potential to bring your readers to the page that you had determined before. Cloak or shorten your URL with the redirect URL services such as PinURL or TinyURL.
The best way is to create a redirect page that will make the URL seems to be one of the pages from your blog. The readers are more attracted to click and see this page because with the redirect page, the URL seems relevant to the article that they read. I had written a tutorial on how to create a redirect page. I had put clear steps and some additional tips there so I hope it could help you to create a redirect page.
Now you can start writing your article. Make it interesting as you could. Don’t write directly about the main essence of your article. I mean, don’t let the readers see that your article is written for any products or your affiliate link. You can use your own experience, an interesting story, a motivational post or a humor article. It depends on how you want to make your article interesting. For example, you’re using E-Music trial offer from Commission Junction, then write an article entitled “My Passion for Music” and write your experience using the trial offer and tell how amazing it is.
After you had completed your article and submitted it to your blog, don’t forget to tweet it or make a broadcast through BlogCatalog to make the others know about your article!

Other than redirecting pages from own site to Affiliate links, its also important to use nofollow attribute and stop search engine bots to visit these pages using robots.txt.
