When you have no money to pay for advertisement in order to drive traffic to your site or blog, then you need for find targeted traffic with lots of free traffic generating tactics, one very effective way is article writing.
How would you like to earn some good money, while sending qualified traffic to your site for free? Sounds good doesn’t it?
Well here’s how; There are different websites that collect original, unique content from you and sell to webmasters and anyone who needs your article(s), in return they pay you good money for it, usually from $3 to $20 or so depending on quality and quantity.
Another type pays you royalty for your content if it gets so popular, that is, if you get to create a lot of buzz for your content, you get paid. Whichever one you decide to do is all up to you, even though I’ll advice you do both.
Check out these sites;
• Associated content, AC: also known as “the people’s media company”. It is basically useful for U.S. residents and citizens or if you have a Paypal account. The money is paid directly into your Paypal account within 3 – 6 business days. Once you accept an offer on the site after your content(s) have been approved, for every page view your content(s) gets, you get paid (around $1.50). And the good thing is, your article(s) can be used or could have been used elsewhere.
Check out www.associatedcontent.com to get started.
• Constant content: with a “-“ between is also a good source of extra income for writers and bloggers alike. Unlike AC, they don’t pay you directly as they act as middle men. You only get paid when someone buys your content, and provided you have up to $50 in your account. You can submit articles, product reviews, tutorials and any kind of content. You can use a Paypal or 2checkout account to get paid.
Wanna check out www.constant-content.com so you can get started.
• Shvoong: In this case, you get paid royalty when you get a lot of buzz for your abstract. Usually, the most popular abstracts or articles are featured on the home page.
Go on and check out www.shvoong.comand start posting.
• 43things: Works pretty much the same way, you get to find out what people want to do and you can come up with a write-up on “how to…”. They are a list of words on the home page with varying fonts (just like in Shvoong), the one word or phrase that really sticks out the most, obviously has the most people wanting to know about it or do it.
Visit www.43things.com to sign up now.
• Zoofer: Also works very much like Shvoong. Weekly top bloggers, top commented posts, and top members are featured on the home page.
Roll on to www.zoofer.com to get ‘write’ on.
• Helium: Also works like the first two. With Helium, your article(s) appear instantly, millions get to read it, you get to share the advertising revenue, and you can build your own brand. They also offer writing contests where you can win cash prizes.

It is expedient for you not to give exclusive right(s) to your articles (if you can help it), as this enables you to re-use them, or to even re-use your already used articles (as in your blog posts). With this sort of online business, you don’t even need a website or a blog. All you need is your computer and internet access. Also, make sure to give good content, free from grammatical errors and bad language. So, what are waiting for? Stick your pens out and start writing!
