People fail to make money with their online business because they think about themselves and making money before they consider their customers needs and concerns. No one cares about what you do – they only care about what you can do for them. Poor internet marketers fill their web pages with affiliate links and ads and wonder why they aren’t making any money.

Step-By-Step, here is how to effectively use articles as part of your search engine marketing efforts to make money online.

1) List 5 hobbies, experiences or topics you know about or would enjoy researching and then choose one of these as the theme for your site.

One caution – actually two: You should be passionate about the subject and there must be a market that is hungry for it.

2) Reasearch and create valuable content for both your sites visitors and for the search engines. You can not have too much content. Provide valuable, problem-solving information for your visitors. This allows them to build a relationship and trust with you and they will be more than happy to buy your products – when they are ready. Your articles must also be search engine friendly so your target audience can find them. Optimize your content for the search engines and the search engines will start sending you free, targeted traffic — traffic that will steadily increase.

Distribute your articles, participate in targeted forums, post to other related blogs… this allows you to establish yourself as the expert in your field and to win the trust of your audience. Also, you will attract free, targeted traffic from the search engines.

3) Add new marketing strategies as you progress. Create a free report e-zine or e-book to give away to build your customer base and establish yourself as the expert in your niche.

4) Once you have at least 40+ content pages and 50+ unique visitors per day, start monetizing your site by adding affiliate links, Google AdSense, products and services to sell… Monetization comes last in the process of building your online business..

In review, first create valuable content, next generate traffic, gradually gain the trust of your visitors and then start to monetize your site.

Follow the “Content – Traffic – Trust – Monetize Traffic” formula and you can’t fail!
