Make Money Online Publishing Articles is Easy, Isn't It?

Since I quit my job, back in 2001, to make money online I have been learning and writing articles. I haven't always gotten it right but I never gave up, like a few friends have done over the years. If it's not easier than working some people just don't want to be bothered and making money online is always as easy as it seems when other write about it, is it.
Writing articles and getting them published on the many article directories is a great way to make money online if you do it correctly. To make this strategy really work for you there are some things you can do.
1. Be sure you know your topic.
I have tried in the past to fake it till you make it but that didn't work. It seems that when I talk about things I don't know enough about I just look like someone that doesn't know what he's talking about but when I stick to a topic I know, like fly fishing, I get results that end in making money.
2. Be unique and thrive.
It's so easy to just copy others and I don't see any thing wrong with that. I learn from others daily. The key is to learn from others but make what you do unique by giving your very own perspective.
I have watched others that succeed online and I learn what I can from them but the goal is to catch them and even pass them in the search engine ranking but copying them won't do it. You need to be unique and then go the extra mile to do more, the search engines will reward you for your hard work.
3. Don't stop with just one article directory.
I don't use a lot of article directories these days as I have my favorites but there are a lot of them. Don't be afraid to use them.
That brings me back to the point about being unique. If you publish the same article in every article directory you use you won't get near the results you will get if you take the time to spin your main article into multiple unique articles.
4. Publish your main article in EzineArticles.com first.
In my opinion my favorite place to publish articles to make more money online is through EzineArticles.com but they are also the strictest one that I use and they won't publish duplicate content.
I write my article and once I am satisfied with it I publish it on EzineArticles. Once it has been accepted I am good to go publishing on other article directories.
I then take my main article and re-write it into as many unique articles as I need for the other article directories.
To make the articles work best I try to modify the content at least 30% or more, the more the betters.
NOTE: Getting my articles published on EzineArticles.com usually takes 2 days, so I have lots of time to work at making my other articles unique.
5. Make your link count.
I write articles but where I publish them I am not allowed to use affiliate links so instead I create posts on my blogs that are relevant and link to the affiliate programs there. I then link to my post page on my blog from my article signature.
Friends, it's just that easy.
You can make money online writing and publishing your articles on article directories. I blog about my hobbies to make a living online and you can do the same thing just be sure you choose the hobbies you actually spend money on.
